Ok if Obama does a second term will this change your opinion of him and will you be more likely to give him a chance?

Not unless you want a tyrannical monarchy on your hands.
 
Why would it change how anyone feels about him?

beacuse a majority of Americans wanted him to have another 2nd term (putting you in the minority again) and he would of proved a lot of GOP supporters wrong by beating them...

Why would THAT change how anyone feels about him?

I'm still failing to see how "winning" would change anyone's opinions on his policies.
 
My opinion on him would probably stay the same. Still meh.

You slow or something? The very fact he was re-elected should change how everyone would view him! He has been painted as a one term president by the GOP and someone that the American people no longer support. If he was to defeat the GOP and get another 4 years that would suggest to me that the man is not as weak as the GOP have suggested and deserves some respect for being your president.

Getting a second term is not an achievement that will endear him to anyone who doesn't already like him. What matters is what he actually DOES DURING his 2nd term.

well surely by winning it would suggest that his policies are not as dangerous or destructive as the GOP have suggested because if they were he would not of won the popular vote for the 2nd time.

No, it would just show that he was the lesser of two evils, not that he's magically loved by all once again.

Winning doesn't mean your policies aren't dangerous or destructive.

I disagree I think winning a 2nd term is a big achivement

It may or may not be, but it's not something that will cause people to change their minds about him. On the other hand, if the economy turns around during his 2nd term, that's probably something that might changes people's perceptions.

Nah it'll just piss em off lol.
 
Obama will be reelected. Mitt Romney will not be President; this is Republican's "John Kerry" year. I'm lukewarm on Obama; he's done some things I've liked, a lot of things I haven't liked. But he will most likely be a two-term President (barring something huge, like a terrorist attack or the SCOTUS striking down health care reform) and I'm at least interested to see where he goes from here, and to what lengths the GOP will go to be obstructionist.

I'm expecting the economy to pick up somewhat in the next year or two and with the Iraq war done, Obama will be in a more beneficial position to really do some Obama stuff.

Your thinking is very strange.
 
I don't think anyone objects to Obama because he couldn't/can't get elected.
