What are the main issues OBAMA has to change to win?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Obama is lower in the polls right now but what are the main issues Obama has to turn around before Nov 2012? How is he going to do the changes?
The Republicans are waiting in the wings with their low taxes and never ending wars?

1. He basically has to use his war chest to convince people

that Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, or whoever, would be a far worse choice than Obama.

I don't think the Republicans in the House will allow him to do much, if anything, to help the economy.

Other than that, getting out of Iraq by the end of the year, and drawing down in Afghanistan will help some as well.

In 2004, a know a lot of Republicans who disliked Bush, but voted for him anyways because they were convinced by Rove that Kerry would be worse.

2. He is not a tool of Wall Street

Oh, that is going to be a tough sell. Historically, this was easy for Democrats, however, Obama has not just blurred the line of differences between Rethuglicans, he has erased it!

If Obama starts throwing some of the Banksters in jail and confiscating their ill gotten gains similar to the way his justice (:rofl:) department has treated evil marijuana dealers, then he may still eke out a win in 2012.

However, Obama has shown no inclination to prosecute either criminal bankers, government sanctioned torturers, or Rethuglican election fraud. I will not vote for him again.

7. Recent activities of the DEA are not going to win hm

Any voters.

Californians are unemployed, on Food Stamps, and now upset over the DEA coming after the Medical Marijuana clinics. In some locales, those clinics pay enough in taxes to merit favorable citations from local government leaders.

To some of us, it looks like he doesn't even want the win in 2012.

3. Finding 5 million jobs under the cushions of the couch would be a nice start. n/t

6. Yes , That Is What William Occam Would Suggest

4. He'll win cause repugs won't do anything to enable them to say, 'We did this,'

and he/we'll use that, as well as their 'nuttiness,' against them.
To succeed in improving things, he/we have to get rid of the repugs.

5. fire Arne Duncan and end his support of corporate driven education reform

Obama has done admirable things as far as education funding, but keeping a the mass firing, union busting, test mania, private charter school backing Duncan, whose appointment was praised by the far right muddies the waters with teachers who would otherwise be his strongest supporters.

It's hard to whole-heartedly campaign for someone who treats you more as part of the problem than part of the solution.

[ClassWarrior]

8. That's a great one, especially in this state where advocates of public education are fired up.

NGU.

[jwirr]

9. Not just Duncan, Geithner and the other trickle down economists as well. nt

[yurbud]

10. I was going to do a White House petition on that: fire all advocates of deregulation and

lax regulators (like Geithner) who caused or allowed economic collapse.

11. start working for WE THE PEOPLE

[Tx4obama]

13. Obama IS working for 'We the People'. Just acknowledge that FACT

and you'll sleep better at night ;)

[Skittles]

14. you think this is all a joke?

you think people are marching in the streets because they feel all warm and fuzzy about what's happening in this country? WAKE THE FUCK UP.

[Tx4obama]

19. People are NOT in the streets protesting against Obama.

The anger is being directed toward Wall Street, Corporations, and the Billionaires.

You trying to spin this into a bash against President Obama IS the only joke I see.

[Tx4obama]

12. President Obama is HIGHER in the polls right now than Pres Clinton

was at the same point in his first term.

Don't worry, be happy ;)

Take a deep breath and relax.
