Do you think President Obama would be reelected if he could run for a third term?

    Based off of recent scandals, no. Thank God for term limits, no man should be able to hang on to the job like a Pope. I just wish Congress had term limits.

    I think it would depend on the 2014 midterms. Say for example the Dems were to keep the Senate and regain control of the house, removing much of the gridlock that has existed in congress since 2011, the voters may decide that they want that to continue and give him a third term. It's all academic anyway since he can't run. However the kind of situation I described could help Hillary should she decide to run. The reverse scenario would not benefit the Republicans since most of the American public views the Tea Party unfavorably, and the Tea Party is closely associated with the republican party. The obstruction in congress is largely viewed as being the fault of the Tea Party. Plus Dems in congress generally poll better than Rep's in congress.

    sadly he would infact have a chance, but definitely for the wrong reasons. in 12, he ran a successful campaign of class hatred and warfare, fearmongering, endless play of the race card and seemingly mindless liberal spending sprees. as a result, the people who have been displaced by his inept management of the economy are now looking at handout and assistance as "what can I get" rather than "what is the most effective leadership.

    as long as Hussein continues to blur the lines of correct and politically correct this will be a problem for the electorate. one can only hope more people wake up to the cancerous effects of failed radical Marxism and hopefully and thankfully term limits will kick in ad the madness will stop.

    No , since he had to cheat to just barely win the last time ,,,such as areas in Ohio had more obama votes than the population of those areas

    The bankers want a new guy ,,,Obama is getting too obvious for them , giving them trillions in bank bailouts ...so now they will turn on him

    just watch ....and just last week they took out Jessie Jackson jr by forcing him to plead guilty campaign funds fraud he will get 5 yrs in prison , Obama is next

    Since 3/4 of the states (38) legislatures would have to ratify a new amendment, and Republicans control it in 23 states, the probability is as close to zero as you can get

    Yes.

    But you might as well ask "Do you think Arnold Schwarzenegger would be elected president if he could run?"

    As you probably know, both men are currently prohibited from running for President by the Constitution, and it would take an Amendment to change that for either one of them.

  • Knowing Obama, he will probably change the laws so he can run a third term. Nothing stops Obama and his communist agenda not even the Constitution.

    "The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."

    Probably not. I'm a die-hard Democrat, and I'd have a hard time voting for him again after the whole NSA debacle. I'm actually glad he can't run again because the alternative would be to vote for someone whose political views do not represent my own.

    Depends, if the Acorn throwaways are still going door to door with the welfare rolls and getting the drunks and druggies who otherwise wouldn't walk 2 blocks to the poll to vote and practically guiding their hands for them yeah, but otherwise no.

  • 8 years ago

    No. I don't think he would even try to run for a third term if given the opportunity.

    Frankly, I was stunned when he was re-elected, given his record of failure in most important areas. Worst president in the last century.

    I sure hope that the low information voters who bought his "hope and change" and "forward" BS would finally come to their senses by then.
