I said that if he announces he won't run, it will give us time to find a real Democrat who actually has the courage and the will to fight for the party and the people of this country.

1. He has no chance anyway. He was never fit for that job in the first place.

3. I'm beyond writing and giving him my opinion on issues.
He's going to do whatever is good for wall street, bankers, insurance companies, big pharma, rich people, anyone but the middle/working class. At this point, the best we can hope for is that he doesn't run again.

4. Maybe if they get enough emails like this
It would make Obama think twice about his recent actions...Aw, who am I kidding, the left is a joke to Obama at this point, he is probably laughing his ass off right now about all the complaints.

9. Maybe he'll compromise with you and run for 1/2 a term and give the repugs another tax break.

12. Who do you want instead (no I'm NOT being sarcastic). Clinton?
That idea would seem to be a non-starter (but, then again, who knows? Minds change). That said, running and winning are separate issues, and if Obama decided to run, I find it hard to imagine Clinton competing against him. If he bowed out, she might.

So Clinton (to me) seems a long shot, but I'm just a simpleton who knows how to type. : ) I think there's more to the unseen GOP machine than we know about - but again: my imaginative speculation. How successful they would be to have Obama's supporters see him as weak, indecisive, lacking in judgment... when there was no evidence of such during the campaign. Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think Obama just flipped into a Jeckyll/Hyde character that fooled us all for 2 years with nary a hint of it whatsoever.

The GOP has put a knife to the throat of this country, daring Obama not to make one step in any direction - or else... I don't even see how what they're doing could be legal, actually. And yes, I fully believe race is a factor in upping their bigoted courage.


I can only hope that the GOP doesn't manage to take the White House because - if we think things are bad now...

...this is *nothing* compared to how bad things would be.

I can't even think about it without shuddering...
