I'm with you on all counts! Must say I'm surprised to have anyone else on this forum (no offense to anyone, but it's stacked with liberal voters) articulate exactly what I think politically.

Obama in 2012 is at least he has the trial and error learning experience of his first term ...

Sadly, he doesn't seem to have learned very much.

I cannot stand Cain or Bachmann, but both have achieved much more professionally now than Obama had by 2008 at this time. Come on. A few years in the Senate after being an undistinguished state senator after a career as an ad-junct faculty member?

Cain led a few large businesses, served on the BOD of a federal reserve bank and I think was a chemist or engineer or something.

Bachmann is batshit crazy, but she has been in the House for a long time.

But yeah, one of the reasons I am less angry about Obama in 2012 is at least he has the trial and error learning experience of his first term ...

Those of you who vote GOP (dispite all rational reasons against it) -- what's wrong with Huntsmann? He's intelligent, experienced, consistant.

Oh wait, I forgot the fourth criteria - he's not batshit insane.

Sounds like obama?

newt is the best candidate but america is too stupid to elect him. We gave the libs a chance from 2006-2010 and all they managed to do was pass fake healthcare reform and a stimulas that didn't do what it promised. Time to go back to the republican reign, lets just not screw it up this time. Even barney f_ _ is stepping down, so you know it's curtains for the profressive idiots.

Oh and Bachman? Seriously? My list of qualifications includes "not batshit crazy." How about you?

"much more qualified now than Obama was in 2008"

Well now he's been President for three years. Surely that's sufficient qualification?

Put him next to anyone on the GOP side, and it's no contest. I'd rather the guy with the learning curve than some psycho religious nut, waffling do nothing or ancient old fart who still thinks it's 1994.

I don't like the republican field either, but all are much more qualified now than Obama was in 2008. Not even close.

Even the Hermanator? Or is he no longer in the field?

Obama is the least qualified president at least since Harding. So it is no surprise he is in way over his head.

Still he sucks less than the peanut gallery the Republicans came up with. Your only hope if one manages to get elected is to not break anything this time, and wait out the downturn.

So can you at least manage not to break something next time? 2 messed up wars, a financial meltdown, a recession and four points of unemployment is an all time low of its own.
