Obama announces his Candidacy for 2012.

'twas expected.

Can't say I'm surprised.

He does not have my support, unless the republican candidate is unbelievably vile, I'll be choosing the best of the worst this election season, can't wait.

Gonna be exciting.
 
I'll see if Ron Paul becomes the Republican prez nom. If so, he'll get my point. But if its between some run of the mill crappy Republican and Obama, I may not even vote.

If Obama wins we are screwed.
 
Oh get over the end of the world stuff. The economy is improving and I doubt it will be the end of the world. It may be the end of your world. ha ha

Good, I think he will have my vote.

Romney or some other more pragmatic conservative may win my vote away from Obama, but none of the crazies (such as Palin, Gingrich, Paul) would.

Screwed and end of the world are too different things. Never said it would be the end of the world.

i'll be voting obama
 
I wonder how many Presidents haven't run for re-election? I guess it needs to be formalized in any event. He's got my vote regardless of who runs against him. Voting straight ticket tends to do that.

The economy is improving? Really. Anything you can point to specifically?

I did not vote for Obama last time and I will not vote for Obama this time, either. That doesn't necessarily mean I will be voting for whomever the GOP gives the nod to - just a disclaimer there.

well, yeah. we have added jobs for 6 straight months. last 2 months 200k +. private sector jobs, not gov't jobs.
 
He's running again? Why, so he can go back on his campaign promises for another 4 years? This certainly doesn't bode well for Democrats, unless the Republicans have someone absolutely horrible...which I'm sure is what Obama is banking on.

EVERYONE that the Republicans have at this point are absolutely horrible.....the GOP is going to go down in flames unless they have a stealth candidate to bring out.

Well, we have been screwed since 2000, when Bush was elected.

I said that about McCain... but then he had to pick Palin

Unless of course they manage to raise Reagan from the dead.

He actually kept/compromised on a lot of his promises, so yeah...
 
It will be interesting to see what Hillary Clinton does. It seems like she has distanced herself from the Obama Administration. I'll probably end up voting third party as the Republicans will probably disappoint in their candidate. Though there are some Republicans I would vote for...

If Hillary decides to run, Obama is ****ed.
