I don't think anyone objects to Obama because he couldn't/can't get elected.

Exactly. And if he did get re-elected, I fail to see how that would garner respect from his critics in any case.
I couldnt agree more. I think Obama's got the upper hand, which is a good thing considering he can start doing the things he planned on doing in his first term.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.
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.
Because like I said a majority of their countrymen have deemed him good enough to have another 4 years being their president
Much in the same way that the Left in America came to love and accept G.W. Bush when he won re-election, right? They all respected him for being our president because he got another 4 years. Right.

And about the poll, I personally will be more, I suppose "proud" or "enlightened". But him winning a second term wont neccesarily change my opinion about his policies.

haha...Welcome to America, Higs.
And FWIW, if Obama wins the general election it doesn't necessarily mean that a majority of Americans would have voted for him. In fact, it's more likely that that's not the case, since turnout for Presidential elections is generally around 50% of the eligible electorate, if I'm not mistaken.
A second Obama term would not tell us anything significant about him that his first term didn't already tell us.
It would, however, tell us something very unfavorable about the voting public.

I can agree with this to an extent. An Obama 2nd-term victory wouldn't tell us anything about Obama that we don't already know. It would, however, give some insight into what the voting public thinks.
It pretty much means that half the country is okay with the job he's been doing so far, which means we're getting the government we deserve, or the GOP candidate really is just that much worse, which still means we're getting the government we deserve.
I'm always a bit wary of "we get the government we deserve" rhetoric. It's my personal belief that many of our current political problems stem from our flawed electoral system - not Americans' voting patterns per se.
Those are poor choices. If he gets a second term, I'll be looking for Obama to be more bold in pursuing solutions that will help right our country.
The voting public has the ability to inform itself and institute change regardless of any amount of money, etc., which is injected into the system.
If they don't, it's not the "system's" fault.
