Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

Does anyone know where the rest of my argument went!? hahaAnyways...There was some more to it but I forget it all now.Rev. Wright is not his hero. He has written him off and denounced all radical ideas.So much for god?Ya, we will just ignore that one.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

This country needs leadership throughout all branches of government. This country needs leaders who are willing to make difficult decisions, despite the political fallout. We need one who loves this country, truly understands the values we seek to live by, and implement policies that are consistent with those values. We also need someone that is willing to recognize the policies that have worked in this country in the past and around the world and those that have not. We do not need an ideologue. We do not need arrogance. We do not need to be treated like ignorant, lazy people that have no passion, drive or work ethic. I could go on, but I simply encourage all of you to put your party affiliations aside and objectively think about these comments as you decide who to vote for. Our country is at a turning point and has significant needs. We cannot afford for voters to retreat to the political party talking points.Research the issues and do not rely on your 10 minutes of daily news. Think. What is truly best for our country?
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

And this can be achieved by voting for one of Obama's Republican competitors?
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

I do not agree with the majority of his or the Democratic party positions. Not all, but enough that I vote Republican. I would prefer to vote 3rd party if a candidate was viable.An independent will probably not have a chance at the executive office for 4 more cycles unless they are a wild card.It's cliche to say this but it's true; voting for a third party or abstaining is throwing your vote away when you have the opportunity to vote for the better of 2 candidates.It's a losing situation since voting for a third party raises the numbers for next time and encourages more voters to have another option.Even though I disagree with the President Obama's positions, he really wasn't given a good start. The housing bubble wrecked the economy. War is actually a revenue and employment generator. We really didn't get to see whatever potential he brought to the table.I feel that he has been given too much support by a select few with too much financial and media influence. You can buy your way into an elected position or have others pay for you.Lastly, as much as I don't want him to serve a second term, I think that he will most likely win. Mitt Romney has no personality, a large body of voters, the religious right - non-Mormon - has rejected him. And Newt Gingrich is way too controversial.

The man spent more than all the other presidents combined in his first 2 years....
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?

Everything you just said is 100% bullshit. Obama has spent $350 billion in non-recession new spending.

Oh my god! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

If you're a proponent of fiscal irresponsibility, debt, unemployment and malaise then absolutely yes. Also if your politics tend toward the fascist/communist end of the spectrum, again yes. But if you believe in freedom, and the Constitution, and the God given rights of man and responsibility, then Obama must be thrown out. And I believe he will be.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

If you're a proponent of fiscal irresponsibility, debt, unemployment and malaise then absolutely yes.Which is why Obama has spent very little in new spending and unemployment has dropped 2% since its peak.Also if your politics tend toward the fascist/communist end of the spectrum, again yes.And now it is clear you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Communism and Fascism lie at opposite ends of the right/left-wing spectrum.But if you believe in freedomI believe strongly in social freedom, which is why I support Obama.and the Constitutionyesand the God given rights of manExcuse me? Umm....God-given? Forgive me for thinking the US was a secular state. and responsibilitySomething the right lacks.then Obama must be thrown out.Uh....no. The facts point to the opposite conclusion.And I believe he will be.I don't give a shit what you believe. The facts say otherwise.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

Really? Republicans have ruined this country? Are you joking or dumb? Abraham Lincoln is hands down the best president we have ever had (Republican). Ronald Reagan (republican) is in the top 3. Just because someone claims to be Republican, Conservative, Democrat, Liberal, Independent, or Green Party does not mean that that is completely true. This country suffers from a major disease called compromise. There have been "Democratic" presidents who should have called themselves Conservatives and vise versa. We need a Conservative in office that will not compromise to Congress or anyone else. I was watching the news the other day and obamination (obama) was holding a press conference. During this conference he was blaming George W. Bush for the deficit problems when (yes he messed it up) he has made it 10x worse. It really all boils down to the fact that nobody is perfect and Congress is full of a bunch of (Democratic!!) greedy bastards (pardon the language). They really don't care about how this country SHOULD be, they only care about what they can do to increase their bank accounts.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

We shouldn't vote Obama back into office he has already gave us 4 years of lost promises and trillion of dollars in debt. Anyone with the smallest bit of common sense would know that Obama is not the correct answer for America, because he has made it worse. I would vote Romney into office any day rather than Obama. Lets remove the problem(Obama) not put the problem back into office!.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

No because he has had three years to make some changes to this economy and he hasn't! Actually if you haven't heard it has DROPPED! :( It's time for someone else to step in and help America.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

Every thing you said was false. I think I can convince you to be an Obama supporter. The economy is very clearly recovering. I have posted the facts above in previous comments.Lowest unemployment in 3 years. Best January for the economy in this century. Dow at 3 year high. Nasdaq at 11 year high. Job growth at 15 year high. Corporate taxes at 40 year low. Etc. etc. Obama 2012!
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

2x as many people on food stamps, you cannot point the Dow and Nasdaq they fluxuate everyday. Did you forget to mention S&Pdowngrading our economy, wonder why it didnt happen with bush?
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

2x as many people on food stampsYa...That's what happens in a recession.ou cannot point the Dow and Nasdaq they fluxuate everyday. They don't fluctuate 6500 points everyday. Face it, the NASDAQ, DOW, and S&Phave all doubled under Obama.Did you forget to mention S&Pdowngrading our economyYou can't downgrade an economy.wonder why it didnt happen with bush?You don't understand the role Ratings Agencies played in the financial collapse, do you?-Now why don't you respond to the massive refutation of your argument I posted on the other poll.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

O I forgot the American people govern how many food stamp programs there are...wrong! all the govts doing, people need to get off their ass and get a job but wait! they can't because obama and the epa etc regulate the piss out of any entrepreneur that shows their face in this administration. Doubled? Really? No. They have improved but they were at their lowest when obama was in office also.If you want to be technical no its not called downgrading an economy, its called a credit downgrade which responds from the economy to practically yes it is an economic downgrade. (Sorry had a little argument with myself).What role did they play, oh please do tell...? It was their fault for the housing bubble right?? they didnt tell us that it was a bad thing the govt was making banks give people money who couldn't pay it back? let's not blame this on our govt or the "flawless" obama administration lets blame it on a CRA. I don't think you understand the role CRA's played in the financial collapse of the economy.I did respond..?
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

O I forgot the American people govern how many food stamp programs there are...wrong! all the govts doingOh wait...that is an example of Bush's policy. Do try harder next time...they can't because obama and the epa etc regulate the piss out of any entrepreneur that shows their face in this administration.Unsubstantiated assertion...Doubled? Really? No. They have improved but they were at their lowest when obama was in office also.It is clear you have no idea how financial crises work. Things go down. Then they go up (typically). A monkey could understand that concept. They are at their highest point in a decade under Obama.If you want to be technical no its not called downgrading an economy, its called a credit downgrade which responds from the economy to practically yes it is an economic downgrade. (Sorry had a little argument with myself).Uh...wrong. ONE of three credit agencies downgraded the credit of the united sates government (how good of a candidate they are in investing or loaning money) from AAA to AA+. NOWHERE in their explanation was President Obama mentioned. S&Pcited political intransigence in congress, caused almost entirely by republicans. It has very little to do with our economy.What role did they play, oh please do tell...? It was their fault for the housing bubble right??If you are talking about the ratings angencies, then yes. They had a crucial role in fucking up the economy.let's not blame this on our govt or the "flawless" obama administrationThe fu..? Obama took office AFTER the collapse had begun...What the heck are you smoking?I don't think you understand the role CRA's played in the financial collapse of the economy.I claim the same about you.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

I don't honestly see how this man could be re-elected. For all the Lefties out there, yes President Bush was NOT the ideal president he was very far from it, I will be the first to admit that. What you must understand is that: The national average when President Bush left office the national price for unleaded gasoline was $1.75 a gallon, today as I write this, the Lowest national price for a gallon of gas is $3.80. When President Bush left office (not that this is low) the national debt was 8 trillion $'s, today it's 15 trillion $'s and climbing, do your math, President Bush created about $1 trillion a year in debt in 8 years , Obama has created $7 trillion in about 4 years, I don't see how that is attractive to lefties but it just seems to be. The last time our economy was worse than this, it was the great depression. Everyone keeps saying that "Obama got osama", Incorrect, he gave the order to kill him after 16 hours of "thought" wheather to do it or not, the Navy Seal Team 6 were the men who killed osama in Bush's war. Taxes, Conservatives want them low and Liberals want them high. Obama wants to raise them on the wealthy, WHY!? 50% of Americans pay no taxes at all! why not even give them a tax! The wealthy pay their fair share, they make up for the 20% who do pay taxes. Raising taxes is one thing but if the president is going to raise them he needs to raise them on EVERYONE. We are all in this together, stop alot of these govt funded (taxpayer funded) programs and grow a set and work for your living so your neighbor doesn't have to! Barack Obama has been a failure as a president 6x more than President Bush. If your going to argue this please do so in an intelligent, mature manner.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?

Democrats love to talk about President Bush's screw ups but they dont like to talk about their screw up of a president so here are about .3% of all things obama has screwed up on.

look below this post............................................
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

How can that be? This president has clearly proved he knows nothing of the economy or foreign policy for that matter.What are you talking about?! You said Bush sucked. Reublicans completely supported Bush's policy. So you must also admit that republicans are lying, two-faced, corrupt, hypocritical, freedom-hating, war-mogering, backwards-minded, fact-ignoring piece of shits.I would suggest reading this.Reading what?! I gave the facts. You ignored them like a typical right-wing nutcase.I am willing to accept when I am wrong.Bullshit.Don't EVER call Iraq a stupid warThe Iraq war was stupid.if you think going to search and destroy osama bin laden in Bush's war was stupid well your very undereducated.1. If you are going to call someone "uneducated," don't make grammatical mistakes in your insult.2. I wasn't aware of the fact that Osama was found in Iraq...forgive me basing my conclusions on facts and logic, not bullshit like you.If you can remember Republicans and democrats stood on the capitol with bush in and listened to the star spangled banner in agreement that war was absolutely necessaryWhere the fuck do you get your facts? 6 House republicans voted against the war vote.126 Democrats voted against the vote.Do the poor create jobs? NO.You are truly an idiot if you believe trickle-down economics has worked. Where the fuck are the jobs if it worked?! It's not like we just had an unprecedented economic crisis. Aren't the democrats the ones who want to spend money they don't have?Nope. That was 100% republican policy, supported by republicans. So theres 1 liberal thing a republican didHow can it be liberal if it was proposed and passed by a republican and supported by republicans? incorrect liberals were for the war in 2001Check the vote again.Why raise taxes, CUT USELESS SPENDING, for example funding the egyptian military when they we just had to pay 5 million dollars to release American hostages from egypt!?!? the should FUND THEIR OWN DAMN SELVES!YES the righties wanted taxes for the poor, CAUSE THEY DONT PAY ANY! GENIUS!Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you even come close to forming a rational argument.What was there to think about? was it that hard to give the go ahead to kill osama? If it haden't been for this war you were all against we would have never got him!!!WTF?!?! There was only a 60% chance that he was there. Do you have any idea what the ramification would have been if he wasn't there? Even Bush-appointed gates called it one of the gutsiest decisions he had seen made.And what are you smoking?! He was found in PAKISTAN!I ask you, can you look me in the eyes and tell me obama isn't the biggest screw up next to jimmy carter?Obama is one of the greatest presidents in modern times. Happy?
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: yes

We should give him another opportunity. I saw that he tried to work his best. No reason we don't give him another opportunity ... I think that.
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: No

I wouldnt necessarily say that Obama isnt exactly trying his hardest or not doing anything at all, I just personally dont believe that the direction that hes taking is a very good one or beneficial one. He has more or less driven himself into a hole of favor debt, one that he pays back in biased legislature, and hes part of the Democratic Political party which is essentially using him, regardless of what he thinks. Under such, I believe that Both a new candidate is required, preferably one from an independent party for some fresh air and far less political agenda, and eventually a massive political overhaul of parties and lobbying. But since were talking about Obama specifically, youve got youre answer. No, its not a good idea. No, we dont have a good candidate replacement, but still no, its not a good idea.
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: yes

If anything is for sure, it is that Obama is giving it his all.I feel that people are as a whole being harsh on a man that took the reins as the roller coaster only reached the peak.My money is on another four years.

in a long run it wont make any difference... Nature will take care of US... Americans will have to work hard eventually even if they do not get concept anymore.

Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: No

So taking his time filling out NCAA brackets is trying his hardest?
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: yes

I strongly believe that Obama should be given a second term. Since Obama has been in power, he has been trying his best to make certain achievements. We all know, that in the state that our ecomony is, it will not take weeks or months but possibly years to fix or embetter and for this reason, we should give him another chance since his leadership has cultivated many presidential achievements. We tend to blame him for not trying his best to embetter the economy but what we are failing to understand is the fact that this is his first term in office and the economy is not something you can fix in a second, it is a critical aspect that requires careful thought, planning, analysis and actions which can take several years. It is also through President Obama and his supporters that the health care bill, legislation to curb green house gases and improve the environment passes, preventing a second great depression by saving three large car manufacturers from going out of business and which would have possibly leave hundreds or thousands without jobs, and also passed the largest economic stimulus bill, bringing the war in Iraq to an end, thus saving the economy a lot of money and innocent lives from being taken, nuclear non-proliferation movement, repairing our image abroad, reversed George Bush's ban on federal funding to foreign organizations that allows abortion, lifted Bush's ban on embryonic stem cell research, implementation of education system reform, tobacco regulation, financial industry reformation, appointing two Supreme Court Justices. These are the presidential accomplishments achieved by Obama and these are proof that the president is determined to fullfill his promoses he had first made to the nation. Now, it is our turn to give him the chance he need to do so and give him some more time.
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: yes

I agree because Obama has done a change to the United States of America an he should get his second term. He's changed many thing and trying to sort other promblems nobody thinks about.
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: No

First of all, he has had several years to fix the economy. No real greenhouse bills have been passed, they have accomplished nothing besides increasing spending. Saving the car companies did not prevent anything and he basically just plugged leaking holes in corporations that will never work due to the extreme wages payed to workers. The war in Iraq is not over. Anyone could have appointed two Justices and he really didn't do a good job there creating the biggest controversy in the history of the Supreme Court. He already had his chance, he failed at basically everything he said he would do. You are going to have to do better than that if you want to convince anyone he did a "good job"
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: yes

Bush had several years to fix the economy as well. Did he fix it? Several years like how much? Do you think the economy is something you can fix in 3 or 4 years? If that was the case then we wouldnt have need a president when President Bush could have done it?Saving the car company prevented many from being unemployed and also prevented a strain on the government providing unemployment benefits to recipients. We need taxpayers money to help maintain the economy of this country. The war in Iraq is not over but atleast the president is making an effort to tend to it. People make it seem as if political and social issues are something you can fix in less time and point their fingers at the President for that. If other people can do it, then they should have run for office as well.Really? Anyone could appoint Supreme Court Justices? That all political parties and the entire nation did not dispute or challenge? Having a perception that something is far more easier than it looks is just a myth not reality in a world like the one we are living in today.

Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: who is he running against

That largely depends on who he is running against. If he is running against someone better than himself, I will vote for that person. If he is running against someone worse than himself, then I will vote for Obama.
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?

Exactly. It also depends upon what he wants to do in his next term.
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: yes

Ron Paul, because steam-punk dystopian USA would be so much more fun, not really. I can't vote but oh well XDObama has kept many of his promises and working on others: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/ promises/obameter/ Besides, that, I mean, being the way I am, I would fight for the man who can get the job done without pushing too much to the economic extreme. Obama is the man I know I could trust on that issue. Although we all know the stimulus was too small and that the marginal disutility of labour right now is less than desirable because of shrinking pay checks, which is counter productive in a liquidity trap.That is my only qualm, that he failed to push through a more ambitious plan to capitalize on the deflation of the dollar and the economic recession to modernize many of America's public works, water, roads and such. Because, really, for the last 20 or so years most haven't been upgraded or anything.That being what it is, the multiplier effect was much too small to make up the fall in aggregate demand from the collapse.
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: No

Although we all know the stimulus was too small. Not true the stimulus was by far too big. Say by about 787 billion dollars
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: yes

Tell me what would have been better? To let things sit like Herbert Hoover did, do nothing at all? What is the rationale behind doing nothing? The belief that the market will fix it? I hate to tell you, but the market says that, right now, the lack of demand is the biggest problem.
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?
Side: No

He should have done nothing and let the thieves fail ; )
Debate: Should Obama get his second term?

I agree. Obama as been helping to keep the economy from falling. Without him, our country's economy, government, and military would be in total chaos.
