W/O A 4% GDP Growth in 2012Current Odds Are That We Will See President Romney in 2012

I predict we'll get a republican president next if Obama continues to do badly, and we continue to see NO IMPROVEMENT in the economy. Do you think people will vote for a guy who hasn't created any new jobs?

That's already been proven. America re-elected George W Bush in 2004, didn't they? Well, not counting Ohio, which Diebold helped put in his column.

I guess it's a-okay to go back to the republican party according to you.

There are options other than the Democrats and Republicans. I was proud to stand up and be counted for Obama in 2008. I bought into the entire "Hope" theme. Mostly what I've seen is four more years of George W Bush. I also have deep reservations about voting for Obama in 2012. I will strongly consider a third party candidate in 2012, if that candidate is willing to stand up for the middle class, something the two major parties aren't willing to do.

I think Obama has become a sellout since taking office. He has not stood up for the gay community. He extended the Bush tax cuts, even though they're the main reason for the mounting debt. His health care reform has more of the things that the GOP wanted than it does what the nation needed. The personal mandate was a gift to the health insurance industry. We're still fighting two wars. He has not done enough to stimulate the economy. His own economists were on record before the stimulus saying it wasn't enough. He has attacked Social Security and Medicare at every juncture, and has agreed to allow cuts to the programs in the name of budget cuts.

I'm sorry, but I don't see anything in his record that makes me want to go out and vote for him again in 2012.
