Why do conservatives call Obama the Messiah?
I don't know, but it seems to be a conservative-exclusive title. I've never seen a liberal call him that here, but it's hard to find a question where at least one conservative hasn't done it. Perhaps it has something to do with the far right's general religious extremism and the need for them to associate their opponents with the sin of idolatry.
Who do you think will win the 2012 American presidential election? (and why)?
In my opinion i hope Romney wins. here's why: -I think America is very separated as a nation right now -whether you're pro gay marriage, pro life, or pro choice i really don't think this is relatively important in the next election because i personally believe we should be working to making America become debt free and focused on fixing the economy...plus no social issue is going to be passed in congress with it being so mixed opinionated. -If you like obamacare or not...i believe it should definitely should have not been passed, at least not at this time, with it adding tons of more debt in a economic crisis....plus Obama clearly lied to the American people saying it would not be a tax-when that was the only reason it was in fact deemed constitutional. -I want a president that will at least try to fix the damn economy...i mean all obama has done is add more and more and more debt to America....Now is not the time to try to advocate a healthcare law that half the population is against and adds debt. -In my opinion Obama is a great talker, but to me i feel like all he does is straight up lie to the American people and deceives them ... I feel like he'll say anything to get re-elected (not that Romney won't either) -Overall, American needs a president that is focused on fixing the economy. We don't need to be debating social issues or putting in a new healthcare system, rather coming up with new solutions to fixing the economy. Obama has failed in every aspect in fixing the economy...As i see it, Romney is a successful businessman and therefore will at least have a better shot at fixing the economy.
What will Barack Obama do after he's done being President of the USA?
He will be 55 at the time of his Presidential retirement - which is relatively young. He will be inundated with offers, of course, so the typical trajectory is likely. These activities will largely be the ones he personally WANTS to do - as opposed to those that he has been required to do as President. Speaking engagements (very selective - over time)Book(s) - already authored - this isn't as much if, but when and whatOversee the Presidential Library [1]Stump for the Democratic Party/CandidatesAdvise other DemocratsCharity work/events - globallyExpand the scope and involvement of the Obama FoundationIf you consider his early career as Act 1, and his presidency as Act 2, I think much of the activity from the above list will influence years 1 and 2, but they could easily be the entr'acte to yet another major activity and contribution. Some have suggested the possibility of being a Supreme Court Justice, but I think that's both remote (he was an attorney - but not really a jurist) and not likely to be one that - if offered - he would accept. It's really a lifelong appointment that's designed for more of a career jurist. Obama's interests and ambitions - like many ex-Presidents - is likely to be broader and more global in scope. He has the capacity to surprise - and he is very committed to a life of helping others. His signature legislation - early in his first term - burned through a LOT of the political capital he had when he entered office. But that deep commitment of helping others was clearly evident in the passage of Obamacare and it may well have come from a quote by another great American that may continue to influence his life. Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?[1] Footnote: Thanks to Joel Ruggaber for pointing out that the Obama Presidential Library site has been selected and it will not be Hawaii. It will be on the South Side of Chicago (also according to Wikipedia here: Barack Obama Presidential Center)
Is obama is about to do to the Democrats what Bush did to the republicans?i think so!?
Relax brother, this race is far from over. The pundits who predict the polls are biased towards the Liberal Socialist party. It appears Acorn cheated Hilliary out of her nomination. The Chicago con man is a great orator and has swayed the uneducated masses to vote for him. Great orators come and go, i.e. Hitler, Mussolini, Pelosi and Reid. If the Chicago con man gets in he will only have four years to screw everything up. If he gets in, remember to balance your tires to save money on gas prices that will increase and embrace for a major disaster w/ in six months as his VP Biden has fore casted.
Libs, why did Russian diplomats refuse to shake Obama's hand? And why did Barry take it?
And why did Chickenhawk Barry Obama go along with being openly snubbed and mocked on a state visit? And why did the press that is in the bag for Obama, give the event so little coverage? Actually, scratch that last question the answer to that should be obvious. See for yourself? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1C_NWMRs8Q
