Question of the Day: Which is the most hair-raising South African mountain pass you've driven?
Article: Obama's last campaign
- Thread starter rpm
- Start date
A wistful Barack Obama has reached the moment common to all political careers -- when leaders realize the end is closer than the beginning.
For sure, the US president is banking on another four-and-a-half years before he steps off the global stage.

I thought you could only run for two terms anyway? :erm:
But he might try and change that if he gets in again...

Well it's for the good of the country. He's been the best president ever.
You're joking right?
If not, what is it that Obama has done that makes him "the best president ever"... apart from having a black skin that is.

Yes. Just thought I'd try get a rise out of patchy.
More like what he'll do to stay in the White House.

As opposed to who?

Is there the slightest remotest bit of evidence that supports that statement ?
That's the question isn't it. We know Obama is a useless two-faced liar (and no I'm not talking about little white campaigning lies, but huge whoppers, breaking every single one of his "Yes, we can" promises) as was George Bush.
So what of Romney.. same coin different side.
Will Romney close Guantanamo, no (by the way Obama has just approved a massive upgrade and cash input into Gitmo, breaking yet another one of his promises to close down Gitmo).
Will Romney stop invading foreign countries, no.
Will Romney get a handle on national debt, no.
Will Romney roll back the TSA, no.
Will Romney restore congress' power (ie. Obama's general's say they will circumvent congress when declaring war or using the US military), no.
Will Romney roll back all the dictatorial legislation (land confiscation, forced labour, detention without trial of US citizens, etc.) that has been passed under Obama, no.
etc, etc.
Will Obama get in? Maybe, but his approval rating is waaay low, perhaps a false flag event might help if some "right-wing nut" makes an "attempt" on his life though.
Ron Paul was America's only hope moving forward. It's game over as far as I'm concerned. Hope I'm wrong but that's how I see it unfolding.
