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

Right now, this is a major global world- we're connected in ways that were thought nearly impossible just fifty years ago! The boundaries between countries are fading, so what we need now is a great FOREIGN POLICY president and if Obama is good with one thing, it's with keeping debates, being respectful, and connecting with global leaders. The U.S. has never been in a more critical global part in our lives- we import 62% percent of our oil!- and we need the good will of other countries, especially Asian superpowers whether we like it or not. Obama already proved himself efficient in this case: it took him just two weeks to convince Egyptian dictator Hasni Mubarak to step out of office. It took a year for Clinton to do the same with another unstable leader!We already know he's a good foreign policy leader; I think that in the next four years he'll have experience enough to be a truly great one... like President Truman. Besides the president can't really control the economy all that much (too complicated to explain now) so shouldn't we elect our leaders based on what they can do?
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

A definite 'yes'. It seems a lot of people have 'conveniently' forgotten that the Bush administration pretty much sucked the wind out of our nation (and world), with its 'shoot from the hip' policies. TARP money was first brought up by him, and in case your memory is not good, most of the money Bush received could not even be traced. No one seemed to know where it went! His policies began the process of deteriotaton that Obama inherited. By the time Obama took office, the deed was done, and he was faced with something akin to being given command of the 'Titantic'. Due to his diligence and vision, we are now beginning to 'see the light', in spite of the non-cooperative Congress he is working with. If you know anything about American politics, you realize, the President's power are limited, and dependent upon Congress. In other words, even if his policies were 'perfect', if Congress decided not to support them, they would go no where.Perhaps the greatest argument' can be found not just in the political arena, but in the totality of the man. Agree or disagree with his actions, you have to give credit to the fact that he is a man who keeps his promises, and maintains integrity in both his personal and professional life That type of man is more likely to succeed for it takes integrity and committment to accomplsh worthy goals. Everyone will never be pleased 'all the time', but if the individual leading is at least one of good moral fibre, and is reasonably intelligent, he will do the right thing which will serve everyone. Obama is such a man.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

Obama is a great president despite the negative criticisms. It takes time people to rebuild an economy! Thanks to George Bush for demolishing our economy and making it worst than it already was now Obama has to come in an rectify what has been done. Obama believes in foreign policy!!!!! Just saying.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

anyone who says obama is helping the economy is dead wrong. Just look at all the debt he's accumulated with blatant disregard for the future. Anyone in this column who said he's helped the economy is absolutely ignorant and you should not vote period. He's accumulated about the same debt as bush in half the time.. so unsustainable deficits eventually leads to more quantitative easing and drastic devaluing the worth of the dollars you saved for retirement. What's the point of saving for retirement if the dollars will be worthless when it's time to retire. If you support obama you support being broke. The only change i see are questionable policies and turning the dollars into change faster than any other president. DO NOT be fooled with this helping the common man because in the long term he is doing exactly the opposite faster than any other president. USE YOUR BRAIN. Bush and Obama were both awful and it's time we get a president who actually can spell 'economy.' His budgets were so laughable he should have been impeached and not considered for a second term.. republican democrat i have no preference for either i just want the most efficient policies and it's just about a guarantee no one will be as irresponsible to the long term financial health of this country than obama.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

it's pretty easy to understand the more money that eventually needs to be printed to handle this debt/unsustainable deficits of which is spiraling out of control currently will devalue the dollar that is already scarce to the 99% much further than we have already seen. That is not helping the poorer people of this country. The way this president accumulates debt is not acceptable and he needs to go asap or else the best move is to bet against the us dollar if you want a chance at having money/significant wealth for retirement.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?

This is now 2015 and I am so happy that Obama was re-elected and I voted with the majority to re-elect him.

Don't vote Obama, but don't vote Republican either; vote Libertarian in Republican's clothing.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

Voting for Ron Paul wouldn't solve anything. His ideas start of OK, but then they go way to far. He wants to pull out our foreign troops. Sounds good. All of our foreign troops. Well that seems a bit much but OK. And he wants the US to become completely isolated from the rest of the world as well as, not only back out of the UN but also evict the UN from New York City. Does that not seem like a bit much to you? Not only that, but additionally, he wants to get rid of civil rights laws that prohibit segregation. How did that work out for us when segregation was legal? He even wants to get rid of federal highways. Even if he was elected, nothing would get done since congress would refuse to pass anything he created.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

His ideas start of OK, but then they go way to far. He wants to pull out our foreign troops. Sounds good. All of our foreign troops. Well that seems a bit much but OK. They don't belong in other countries. That's why we call them other countries, they aren't our own, therefore we don't belong there in a militaristic capacity.And he wants the US to become completely isolated from the rest of the worldIt's not quite like that. He's for international business, but doesn't think that the government has any business in interfering with other governments affairs. not only back out of the UNWe ought never have become involved in such an organization; it relieves us of some of our sovereignty, however slight, and that is never good.but also evict the UN from New York City.UN would collapse without US support, most likely.Not only that, but additionally, he wants to get rid of civil rights laws that prohibit segregation.Again, you are looking at it from the wrong angle. I am not legally required to allow any individual into my place of residence, my home, my castle; why, then, if I own a café, must I allow those individuals whom I dislike to enter my place of business? Both my house and my café are my properties, why is there a difference? My café is not public, and should therefore not be required to accept any member of the public within its walls.How did that work out for us when segregation was legal?I'm white, so pretty fine.Still, though, would you, assuming that you are white, eat at a restaurant with a big sign on the door saying "niggers keep out!" Probably not, and most people wouldn't, either. Therefore, racist store owners can either keep their views to themselves or go out of business; it behoves them to do the former.Even if he was elected, nothing would get done since congress would refuse to pass anything he created.Even if none of his ideas came to fruition, we'd still have four years with a president refusing to sign any more liberty-crushing bills.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

If I got an dollar for every should Obama be reelected debate, I would have like $10.If more debt and spending is something that you admire, then yes, but it will crash.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: yes

Our entire debt buildup of the past decade can be pegged to 5 things:1) 2 unsustainable wars started by republicans2) Three unsustainable tax cuts started by republicans3) And unsustainable Medicare Part D program started by republicans4) Unprecedented increase in military spending started by republicansIf you look at Obama's new spending, you will see he has spent under $350 billion in non-recession spending.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

Those 5 bullet points are irrelevant because both have staunch believe in Keynesian economics. It doesn't matter what party speared it, both agreed. And so, since Ron Paul is only candidate for Austrian Economics, he is the only one in all of Congress with brains.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

Keynesian economics is so much better, it is backed by emperical data. Austrian Economics is based solely in theory and assumes that predictions are not possible. Although I agree that both the Reps and Demos voted for the spending, To argue in favor of Austrian economics is like saying that we should stop using the automobile and go back to the horse and buggie - Austrina Economics is such an old way of thinking about econ. The reason why we have financial problems is because most americans dont understand the fundamentals of Kaynesian Economics and because of this we have had economic and tax policies that favor the supply side "trickle down economics" rather than demand side which hasnt really had a good shot since Kaynesian economics became the main stream. Rather than regressing to Austrian Economics we need to try the alternateive to supply side economics in the Keynesian model
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

That is the problem with Keynesian economics, emperical data. Economics is a subdivision of praxelogy, and human action can't be predicted through mathematical models.That is ridiculous. That is Austrians economists all predicted the dot.com and housing bubble crash while you Keynesian morons with your empirical data said it was all good.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

i dont think you are correct in thinking that keynesian economics didnt predict the dot.com and housing bubble crash, keynesian economics takes into account market cycles, the rise and fall of overall economic activity.How well did the austrian economists predict the two crashes? I am a compatiblist, so if there are limits to keynesian economics i would be interested in them. What is it about Austrian economics that makes it better?
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

and by compatibalist i dont mean in the traditional free will - determinism sense, i mean that ideas in disperate camps can often fit together and enhance one another insofar as efficacy goes.

2 unsustainable wars started by republicansAnd exacerbated by Obama.Three unsustainable tax cuts started by republicansToo much spending by all.And unsustainable Medicare Part D program started by republicansToo much spending by all.Unprecedented increase in military spending started by republicansAnd exacerbated by Obama.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

And exacerbated by Obama.WHAT?! He has ended half of them.Too much spending by all.Not really. Bush new spending in 8 years? $5.07 TRILLION Obama total New Spending (projected out for the next 8 years)? $1.44 TRILLION. ANd of that total, only $430 billion is non-reccesion related.Too much spending by all.Not really, again. New healthcare spending under Obama will cost an average of just $19 billion a year (8 year projection). And exacerbated by Obama.Wow. DOD budget is DOWN from last year.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

in my point of view No. Obama didn't deliver favor, his attemts to change something was not so succeful. During his carreer as Prezident country was in a risky situation. People in USA dont want to elect Obama again becouse he has baffled them. My friend Will from USA and i was chating with him about this topic.He said that no need to elect him becouse his promises in most cases NOTHING. Americans position become risky.

Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

radical foreign policyThe way this country is going we're in need of some radical changes.He is oldNothing wrong with that. His mind's sharper than his competitors by far and, besides, Rameses II reigned into his 90s, and countless others have served as head of state at a more advanced age than Paul.insufficient popularityYet he practically ties with Obama in nationwide polls.Although he seems pretty smart and has had some good ideas and some popular ideas, he doesnt really fit the bill.Why, because he wants to raise the country out of its current state and back to respectability?
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: Yes

I agree that changes are needed, but isolationism? that seems a bit to extreme, and it also doesnt make much sense in terms of securing economic and geopolitical interests.I was talking about issues of electability. I dont care about his age, but understand that this is a consideration of many people because they associate function with age. He could be 120 for all i care.Obama wants to raise the country out of its current state, and is doing so, and also is trying to get us back to respectability.

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

Because market anarchy without checks and balances via some power in which people have a say (government) leads inevitably to serfdom at best and straight financial slavery more likely--all whilst roads crumble around us and only rich kids (inhereted rich after a generation or so since without checks on large corporations they can simply steal any idea and make it cheaper) get an education...And only between 10% and 20% of the half-retarded american population is that fully retarded during any given election. So yeah, that's why he'll forever be "out of the contest" outside of Texas and a couple southern states.Plus he's been spewing government all in your vagina outlawing abortion while hypocritically preaching smaller government when it comes to feeding the kid the impoverished and rape-e's are forced to take to term.
Debate: Should Obama be Re-Elected?
Side: No

He will go down as probably one of the top 5 worst presidents that we have ever had. I believe he is a traitor. First of all he is hiding who he says he is. Took way to long to present his birth certificate…if that is the real we probably will never know. Never would present his academic records from the colleges he supposedly attended. Would not release his medical records either. Who is he?Well he has bowed down and kissed Arab leaders. He has treated the president of Israel terrible…what leader in the world comes to the White House and has to use the back door? His hero is an anti-American racist who hates whites….Rev. Wright. He was in bed with Tony Rezko the Chicgo slug who is now in prison. I mean what political candidate would take money from someone who is being investigated by the FBI? OBAMA.Then there is his affiliation to communist radicals…many of whom he appointed as Czars in his administration. Enter the scene….Bernadine Dohrn and her communist husband Bill Ayers who founded the organization Weather Underground.  "The best thing that we can be doing for ourselves, as well as for the [Black] Panthers and the revolutionary black liberation struggle, is to build a fucking white revolutionary movement." And that is what she and her husband did.For a long time she was on the FBI's most wanted list. Her husband is just as radical as she was. Two of Obamas friends.He failed to handle the Gulf Oil spill in a timely manner.Failed to end the war like he promised he would do. Took him three years to end it….hundreds more died on his watch.Putting all legislation on the Internet for five days before it came to a vote.Snubbed the president of Israel. Snubbed Britain by returning that bust of Churchill.  He appointed Communists/Socialists/Progressives to his various Czar positions (without even getting congressional approval) then doing nothing for them after Glenn Beck calls them out…forcing many to resign.Then there was his failed stimulus…health care the country still does not want…Wants total amnesty for illegals.Does not even know basic American geography and thinks there are 57 states.Thinks that there was only one bomb that hit Pearl Harbor.He thinks to solve any financial crisis….borrowing is the answer. So he has borrowed until we now don't even have our chins above water.I could go on and on….He is a narcissist and his change was not what the people who even voted for him expected he meant. His change seeks to destroy the country. He is absolutely incompetent and dangerous….and I would vote for just about anyone in order to get him out. Well except Nancy Pelosi and I think she is almost worse than Obama is. If he is get in for four more years…we are doomed. He hates this country and it shows. He has done nothing but apologize for Americas actions since taking office and I think people even many Democrats are sick of him and can now see him for what he is. Change is good in some cases….thats why we need to throw him out. Maybe then he can go over and listen to the Muslim call to prayer…something he said was the most beautiiful thing he has ever heard. So much for Christ eh?

It's been a while, still as crazy as ever I see."He has treated the president of Israel terrible"Regardless of how he may or may not have treated the mass murdering war criminal Netanyahu, his policy towards Isreal has been exactly in line with previous presidents, I hear this accusation from crazy right wing nut jobs that Obama is anti-Isreal, it simply isn't true, the US continues to give Isreal the green light to indiscriminantly kill Palestians, kick families out of their homes, steal land that deosn't legally belong to them. etc....etc."His hero is an anti-American racist who hates whites….Rev. Wright"Wow. Have you ever given a moments consideration in your life to how hard it is for a black man in your country?"Then there is his affiliation to communist radicals…many of whom he appointed as Czars in his administration."How do you expect people to take you seriously when you sound like an escaped mental patient?Hey, did you know 90% of all black men are secretly working for the USSR, thats right!!!, they never disbanded, thats what they wanted you to think..(insert maniacally laugh here)."He failed to handle the Gulf Oil spill in a timely manner."Yes, a Republican candidate would have been all over that, just George Bush after hurricane Katrina, right?"them after Glenn Beck calls them out"Glenn Beck, seriously?"Wants total amnesty for illegals."Ya, only real americans should have amnesty, like the comanche, the mohican etc."Does not even know basic American geography and thinks there are 57 states."Ya, Palin or Bachmann would ave aced that one, them being the upstanding intellectuals that they are."So much for Christ eh?"Don't worry God will protect you from the destruction of your ccountry.

I disagree with everything you said, but one thing truly stood out as grotesque and ignorant. Glenn Beck, seriously?What is your problem with Glenn Beck? I understand that his religion is insane, but so is yours. (I'm an Atheist.)I mean, you have people like Rachel Maddow; she makes me want to cut my wrists while sitting in the middle of the desert with no liquids or food. The issue with liberals is that they simply "check off/dismiss" people (like Glenn Beck) because they may have heard some propaganda on YouTube about how they're "hicks" and shit.Do your research. Don't hate him because of his background.

"I disagree with everything you said,"The feeling is more than mutual amigo"but one thing truly stood out as grotesque and ignorant."You think I make statement's like that without any logical or formal basis? You are seriously calling me ignorant and grosteque for question the validity of using Glenn Beck as a reference. You are drowning in propaganda my friend."What is your problem with Glenn Beck?"Are you actually serious? Beck was forced to leave Fox because they thought he was too crazy, now that is really saying something. "I mean, you have people like Rachel Maddow; she makes me want to cut my wrists while sitting in the middle of the desert with no liquids or food."WTF? You think I watch US media to be informed, I watch US mainstream media to critique it, that has been the beauty of your corporate the controlled propaganda machine, you falsely beleive your political discourse to be free, nothing could be further from the truth. Do yourself a favour and watch the video, it's the first part of 5 clips."The issue with liberals is that they simply "check off/dismiss" people (like Glenn Beck)" Are you serious? There is simply nothing to be gained from engaging you in debate, it would take far too much of time and energy to even begin to show you my perspective, so this will be my last response."because they may have heard some propaganda on YouTube about how they're "hicks" and shit."You simply don't have a clue."Do your research.

Obama doesn't think there are 57 states. He clearly misspoke and was talking about primaries. I'm not a supporter of Obama but your arguments are pretty radical and if anything just unimportant.First of all he is hiding who he says he is.
