I think we are in such bad shape right now that it doesn't really matter. He's not doing a great job, but I don't believe there is anybody currently in politics who could do any better....so I'd rather elect Obama than have to deal with a NEW President again and then we have to go through this BS phase of "oh he's learning to be President, give him a break". Well, Obama is already President, he knows the deal. Hopefully he'll get better. This is a good answer. I also don't think he's effed up enough to not be re-elected. The days of having a great president are gone. There will never be another one with the current political climate. So as long as Chief doesn't completely screw up the nation, I'm all for re-electing him. |

Because some 'failing' companies were getting bailed out. Don't bail out the companies, help out the people. Doc, who cares if they are "new" jobs. Someone gets that position. Because no President that I know of with a 9+% unemployment rate has ever been given a second term. |

He entered with it in the low 20's and by the time he died, it was hovering around 1%. www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0104719.htmlBut it was still above 9% when he won his second and third terms. |

That is a great question, I dont know. I would have to review who the candidates were before I let you know. I do know if it came down to Obama or Palin I would stay home. |

A dream Candidate is someone who cares about all the issues I care about and supports what I support. A dream Candidate would also keep every promise made while Campaigning. I guess that's why it's a dream candidate, its never going to happen. |

The fatc is the economy will probably get better, unemployment will probably fall, the Republicans will probably put up a divisive Tea Party candidate and Obama will probably win a second term. |

The bailouts actually started under Bush. They've basically had 3-4 years to have an effect. How much more time do you want to give them before you decide whether they've done any good? |
