Does Obama deserve re-election? According to him, he already has been

Why even bother to ask the American people their opinion of Mr. Obama's last three years and whether or not he deserves re-election? It doesn't matter what WE think. According to our president, speaking to Univision this week, Mr. Obama will be re-elected in the 2012 election. He made the statement while talking on Univision about what he has done to help the Hispanics here in the U.S. "My presidency isn't over", he said. "I've got five more years to go." Where was the teleprompter when he said that? Surely he didn't mean for those words to be echoed all over the U.S. but, then, he has never seemed to worry about what the mainstream in the U.S. thought/thinks about anything.

He has stated that he has opened more drilling as president. Wrong. The drilling that has been opened was already in the works before he got to the White House and it is on private land that he doesn't (yet) have control over. The government lands that he controls have been closed down tight. Doesn't is matter to anyone that the U.S. is sitting on more oil than the U.A.E.? We have large deposits of natural gas that can be used to power vehicles and he is still trying to get solar panels to work through defunct companies that have already squandered government money they didn't deserve. And then there's seaweed or algae. Obama said that is going to be BIG "if only we can figure out how to make it work for fuel". This sounds more like the adventures of Secret Squirrel than words of wisdom from the White House. Maybe he is working on a new comedy routine incase his bid for re-election fails. It WAS pretty funny.

Every time this man makes a speech it is the same one. The words are just reassembled to say the same thing in a different order. No one thinks he takes these speeches seriously. He speaks to hear himself talk. And, that's all it is; TALK. He has not done one thing he promised to do except create a health care monster that is going to bankrupt the U.S., make doctors leave our country and put people's health at risk. He has raised our debt to $6.5 TRILLION. That's more than ALL THE PREVIOUS presidents put together ($6.3 trillion total together). He promised equality and prosperity for all Americans and many believed him. Those people are sadly disappointed that they have not received the promised jobs or income. Unemployment is up tremendously, not down. He hasn't been instrumental in creating any jobs. He has vetoed projects like the pipeline that would give jobs to hundreds to play games for the environmentalists and try to make the republican party look bad. He has refused to let a private company move a portion of its business to a "right to work" state where it could save money and hire more people because it would interfere with his link to the union. The only promises that Obama has kept are those he HAD to keep to the people who backed him in his election and fed money into his coffers. He has paid those people back with money our country and our people need. Many of the businesses he gave government loans to have already declared bankruptcy. What does he have to say about the green energy companies that have failed? "It's time to double-down". Well, Mr. President, this isn't a casino and that's real money you are playing with -- our money.

Does he deserve re-election? Oh, hell no.

    It is interesting to see how intently foreigners are watching the run-up to the 2012 national elections, particularly as regards whether President Obama could be reelected. Hardly a day goes by that I do not receive inquiries from places like South...

    Algae sounds promising. In a Univision interview today Barack Obama asserted that he had another five years left. Five years of what, I'm not sure. It will either be five more years of marring this country from its own identity or five more years
