President Obama May be a Two-term President

In the last year and a half President Obama and Congress have been in the process of transforming America into a socialist nation. They've been working behind the scenes to make that happen. Last year both General Motors and Chrysler filed bankruptcy and now both corporations are under the ownership of the government. Congress passed a very controverial healthcare bill which will overhaul our country's healthcare system and control 1/6th of America's economy. They've also been working towards repealing the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the military in regards to homosexuals openly displaying their homosexuality. There have been incidents that have taken place such as the Christmas Day bomb plot and the bomb plot in Times Square. Thankfully, those bombs failed to detonate. On April 20 the Deepwater Horizons rig exploded off the coast of Louisiana. Ever since that day there have been millions of gallons of oil that's been spewing from a damaged well at the bottom of the Ocean. BP within the last couple of days have tried the "Top kill" method to cap the hole that's spewing oil. We won't know the results of that procedure until approximately a few days. However, the federal government's response to that crisis was delayed. There's plenty of blame to throw around. BP, Transocean Ltd., Halliburton, and the federal government all share in the blame of not responding quickly enough to contain the oil spill. As a result of that incident, President Obama's approval rating is hovering around 42% according to some polls. It would appear that President Obama's chances of winning re-election in 2012 appear to be slim.

Within the last few months we've been hearing statements from political figures such as Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney to name a few, that Barack Obama will be a one-term president. They're basing that on President Obama's performance in the White House so far as well as Republicans gaining seats. It also appears there could be a shaking up of Congress in the fall Congressional elections. Republicans are seeking to regain power since 2006. There have already been a few surprises in some races in which the Republicans won. We even had some incumbents defeated during the primary such as Bob Bennett of Utah and Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania. There's a possibility of more incumbent defeats in the primary due to the influence the Tea Party movement is having in America. However, one must not count their chickens before they're hatched. The general election of 2010 hasn't taken place yet nor do we know who the Republican presidential candidates will be in 2012. If the Republicans recapture both the House and Senate this fall, then there's a likelihood President Obama's approval ratings will rebound afterwards. I don't trust the Republicans and I guarantee if they regain both Houses they will flounder once again. The Republicans are just as much about power themselves. Both the Democrats and Republicans are working together to change this country in a destructive way. The Republicans aren't going to stand for the values they claim they uphold. They'll lie to the voters pretending they're the candidate for change. Then once they're elected they'll become part of the Washington elite. Once they become part of the elite group in Washington, they'll be worthless as elected officials. They'll be Democrat-lite. I guarantee you they won't stand for God, country, and the Constitution. That's a very strong statement, but that just shows you how much faith I have in our elected elite. Both parties are still financed by the same interest groups. Both parties craft their legislation towards the lobbyists that support their campaigns.

Let's take a look at the Bill Clinton presidency. Clinton took oath of office on January 20, 1993. He started off filling his cabinet with leftists such as Janet Reno and Joycelyn Elders, to name a few. He placed his wife in charge of a healthcare task force in 1994 to push for a healthcare overhaul bill which thankfully didn't happen. By the time the mid-term elections came around, President Clinton's popularity dropped. Then came along Newt Gingrich and the Republicans who crafted a document entitled, "Contract with America". The Republicans captured both Houses of Congress that fall. Clinton knew he was in trouble. Clinton was shrewd. He knew how to manipulate the situation and use it to his advantage. He began moderating some of his stances and he used some situations to exploit the Republicans. As it turned out, the Republicans and Newt Gingrich weren't the party of change and instead it was the same old brand of politics as usual. Newt Gingrich was more concerned about power and being seen with the president than standing for the principles that elected him and the Republicans to power. In 1996, The Republican Party nominated Bob Dole, as a weak candidate for the presidency. The Dole campaign had nothing to offer. As a result, Clinton won re-election in a landslide. History tends to repeat itself.

If the Republicans recapture both Houses of Congress this fall, President Obama will tone down his language and try to sound more like a moderate to appease the Republican Congress and the average American voter. Some will probably say that Obama may gravitate toward the middle. I personally don't see Obama gravitating toward the middle, but he will try to give the appearance he's moderating his left-leaning stance toward the center. He'll have to be very clandestine in his business. However, the Republicans that are elected this year aren't going to be the party of change. They'll continue the business of politics as usual. The Republicans may mount a charge of trying to "repeal" the healthcare bill, but President Obama will use it to give the American public the impression that the Republicans are the party of the rich and don't care for the poor. It will all be a dog-and-pony show.

If the Republicans' performance in the next Congress is dismal or worse like I'm predicting, then President Obama could win re-election in 2012. What kind of candidates will the Republicans offer to challenge Obama for the presidency in 2012? They'll be weak-kneed Republicans who won't pose much of a challenge to Obama. That's what I'm afraid of. Some Republicans believe the best candidate on the Republican side that we have for president is Sarah Palin. If she's the best candidate for the Republicans in 2012, we're in trouble. Sarah Palin's a nice, charming lady. She's a person you would enjoy being around. However, she's not presidential material. I'm not saying that because she's a woman. She appears to be a woman that can easily be compromised. In her campaigning for Republican candidates this year she endorsed incumbent John McCain in Arizona (no surprise there) and Republican candidate Carly Fiorina in California (she was an adviser to McCain in his presidential campaign in 2008). Also, Palin resigned from the governor's seat in Alaska last year in which it appears she did it to be hired as a Fox news contributor. Democrats would exploit that issue if she were to run in 2012. However, the Republican Party would groom her to fit in with the top party elites.

Another candidate I hear mentioned is former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Gingrich is very intellectual and he can come up with a number of solutions to the political crisis in America. However, I still remember when he was House Speaker. He was concerned with power when he was in office. He didn't change Washington and if he was elected president he wouldn't change Washington today. He would be better off writing books and speaking at political engagements than running for political office. Joseph Farah wrote a column in his "World Net Daily" post Sunday stating Gingrich isn't the candidate we need for 2012. Other potential candidates springing up could be Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. However, he's not that impressive either. Mitt Romney is somebody else we don't need. He was the one that pushed for the healthcare plan that Massachusetts currently has and it has costed the state dearly. Also, Romney has flip-flopped on the abortion issue a number of times. I classify Romney as another Republican RINO. Sunday night talk-show host Bill Cunningham has mentioned Sean Hannity's name a number of times on his program. He believes Hannity would make a good president and could win it. I've listened to Hannity on radio and watched him on his Fox News program a number of times. He usually feautures both liberals and conservatives on his programs bringing out the Democrat and Republican talking points. Sean doesn't have anything new to offer to politics. Hannity would fit in with the Republican elite as well. He wouldn't make much of a president. As one can see, there's nobody on the horizon that would prove to be a formidable candidate for president Obama. If we have another creampuff candidate challenging Obama similar to Bob Dole and John McCain, then President Obama will win re-election. You can't convince me otherwise. You're not going to beat Obama with a creampuff candidate. I don't care what the president's approval rating will be in 2012. It will take a strong, formidable candidate with a backbone of conviction that isn't concerned about party politics but what's best for America. The Republican candidate can't devoting his time criticizing Obama's policies and not having his own agenda to replace Obama's. As Jim Sumpter succintly puts it, "In all things, America first." That's the kind of presidential candidate we need. My slogan is "God, country, and the Constitution." That's what we need in a Republican candidate, which isn't likely to happen. Both political parties are controlled by elitist groups that desire candidates that will continue furthering the new world order agenda. In other words, whoever wins the presidential election in 2012 will be a puppet or figure head to the puppet masters that control everything, whomever they may be. If the events that take place within the next couple of years are just as I predict, then PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL WIN A SECOND TERM! GOD HELP US IF THAT HAPPENS!
