If Obama wins then I'm never trusting anything you say ever again. And I've been pretty blind at that so far.
I am not making any predictions. My prediction was Obama.
Romney is ahead in the Gallop polls...the one where they ask "who did you vote for?"
I believe it was 52 to 45, last time. That's a big enough margin to beat the "spread".
So, you don't have to take my word for it, it's Gallop's prediction/projection.

It's only been four years since we had a born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-his-mouth-cronyism-loving-white-man as president, can we at least wait another four? I don't think that's asking too much.
Who cares about the silver spoon, Obama expanded everything bush did. haermm
Edit: And some extended.
Expanded the war on terror. That goes for the patriot act and the new addition to the family, NDAA. Also includes drone warfare and an abudant amount of more bombings in the middle east such as yemen and pakistan, libya etc. He even has a kill list and has assassinated American Citizens including 16 year old Adbulrahman al-Awlaki. Sounds like quite the expansion to me.
Also wanting to add more troops passed the bush administrations deadline but was declided by the iraqi government. We still maintain a presence. More troops for the war in afghanistan.
Harsher on journalist and Whistleblowers. Guantanamo bay is still operating. CIA rendition.
Military spending continues to rise.
TSA naked body scanning additions
Maintains the stance on marijuana prohibition
TARP
Hes a corporatist warmonger. Theres most likely more but I dont even want to continue.
but a lot of those are more like "Obama didn't live up to the impossible expectations his campaign set in 2008" than anything else. anyone who legitimately thought Obama was going to end the war on drugs or terror is delusional. I'm not even saying the criticism is invalid, just that leveling them at Obama or calling these his policy choices seems blatantly political, as these have been issues for years.
The fact we're making even four year olds cry now just goes to show how depressing this election really is haermm

Sure, I guess that would be a broad way of putting it. Even though we're not discussing everyone.
sure, and like I said, I agree with your criticisms in broad terms, but not as solely leveled against Obama.
Like, imagine a Paul presidency. How much of a mandate, in the house/senate, among both parties, among lobbiests, would he have to be given to end the drug war or go back to the gold standard? It is nearly impossible the way things are set up.
