Mmmm? Yes he has, and it's the most leftist since Jimmy Carter.

I wonder what the next big day of doom will be after that passes. Just like every other one that has went by.

I don't think he has. Not in any important way. Just hinted at a leftist stance yes, but we don't have a clue yet on how hard he will pressure Israel.

Your comment makes me worried though. How has he showed it in your opinion? I'd very much like to hear your impressions as an Israeli.

All the Jews in America hate Obama. He has basically said F*** *** to Israel compared to previous presidents.

As for the topic, I would be suprised if he got re-elected. He isn't popular in the states anymore. When he was a candidate to Bush everyone believed it was like Jesus returning to earth. Since then they have realised he is just the same as the last 100 presidents.

In England he is popular though, although I don't think that counts for much

I don't think so. Obama did not do a very good job last election (he won states Kerry lost in 04 despite Kerry having more votes in those states). It was a perfect storm for the Democrats (republican in office for 8 years, war going on, economic downturn, weak republican canidate). Obama is a very weak politician from what I've seen. He's just too green. Also, the Health care bill could ruin him if it either makes the republicans upset (Republicans are the majority party in the US) or there is too much animosity from the people over it (not sure about this one, but I've heard there are a lot of people upset).

It ws a bad strategy, though, to make the bill kick in in 2016. This was probably due to Obama not wanting to receive flack over it (and save face), but if he loses to a republican, they will over turn it or they will amend it so much it would basically be irrelivant.

Registered democrats are the plurality, i believe. But neither party has enough swing to decide the election, it's that wishy-washy undecided middle that needs catered to.

I've heard that before. Of course, I will admit, I may not be the most up to date on all the political workings.

yea he will win, the incumbent usually always wins.

there hasnt been 100 presidents.

To be fair he was running against John Kerry.  I mean... I voted for John Kerry but it was sadly a much closer deliberation then it should of been.

I considered voting third party, but I didn't know any of them except Nader and I didn't want to accidently vote for some miltia group or anti-capitalist group.
