Can anyone give me logical reasoning as to why Obama should get another term?

I'm not hating, I just want to find out what the hell some people are thinking.

    My father has been having heart problems almost this whole year. under the healthcare plan Obama has it has made it more affordable for my father to get the medications needed to help him . My family would be in trouble right now if it wasn't b/c of it. I also work for a big company & i still don't have medical Insurance b/c they want too much for me to have it. I think it's a disgrace that this supposed to be the greatest country in the world but yet many of it's citizens can't even get the most basic form of healthcare while nations like Canada Venezuela & even Cuba has healthcare for everyone. Something is seriously wrong with that picture. He ended the war in Iraq a war we had no business in & getting troops out of Afghanistan(I think he should do it faster but that's another issue) And Obama has done more than many Presidents i can remember to help the middle class & poor instead of only helping the rich the corporations wall st & the banks like Obama's predecessor did.

    He is the much better of the two people running.

    I am not rich and when someone has a running mate campaigning on the idea of raising my taxes so people who don't work can not pay taxes (eliminating the capital gains taxes) then I sure as hell am going to vote for Obama.

    I am also going to vote for Obama because unlike the republican lemming I understand the current economic climate isn't his fault. I also know it isn't Bush's fault either it is the natural economic consequence of Sept 11. I still remember Bush when running for a second term his very economist told us it would take 15 to 20 years for the country to recover. Now scream how it's all Obama's fault and forget that unemployment was worse when he took office than it is today.

    I also will never vote for a person who has no problem with the Bush tax cuts. I am poor and I pay taxes because I don't have chldren. I don't want to pass tax burdens unto future generations. I know that a country cannot cut tax, increase military spending balance the budget and decrease the deficit. It is simply impossible.

    So no I won't vote for Romney.

    I would rather vote for the idea of eliminating the war and the tax cuts that is causing the debt then balancing the budget and decreasing the deficit only becomes a possibility.

    Why would anyone vote for a person who is working to raise your tax debt and calling you lazy for complaining all the while trying to make himself complete tax exempt because he has no JOB and his entire income comes from capital gains!!!!???

    put yourself in his shoes.

    obama comes in to office with an economy heading for collapse.

    like the titanic sinking.

    there is no time to drag your feet and give it time to sort itself out without the ship sinking

    so obama(his administration on the advice of top economic advisers) does bail outs and stimulus just like a captain would do to keep the boat from sinking.

    so the economy can't recover quickly just like a boat that has taken in water can't sail.

    everyone agrees that this is the worst economic collapse since the great depression and the whole world is involved. so world economies effect ours too.

    i think obama has done good considering the circumstances.

    the great depression didn't recover in 4yrs.

    it's already been agreed upon that who ever get elected the economy isn't going to make a rapid recover because of the depth of the problem.

    it could have been infinitely worse.the world could have had a total economic collapse which could have lead to WW3 because of the instability.

    I dont really think Obama is a great president but i think Romney with be a god awful one. He is against womens and gays rights and is in my opinion just kinda creepy. Obama got us out of a war and found and killed Osama Bin Laden which no one else was able to do.

    They really, really don't like Romney. The economy is so bad that Obama should lose, and a strong Republican candidate would have won easily. So it's clear that Romney was a poor choice as a candidate, but as we all know, the other Republicans have the same problem.

    GOP will dismantle democracy. The proof is in congressional bills written by Tea Party.

    Only the 2% matter. Get rid of gov so the poor have no voice.

    playing by the "official" rules of logic; meaning "truth"?

    to answer your question causes mind-split. it depends upon ideology, religion, brainwashing, programming......

    logic would tell you that their is no government - that a belief system must be implemented to create one.

    The economy crashed in 2007, under Bush's Administration. Since then, the stock market has almost doubled, unemployment has steadily dropped, and millions of jobs have been created.

    Bush got us into two incredibly expensive wars, one of which was both ruinous and unjustifiable. Obama ended that war, and as for the other one, well, Bin Laden is dead and we're almost ready to hand power back to the Afghans.
