Obama Needs to Articulate a Second-Term Agenda

Full story: www.theatlantic.com

The president may not be able to win reelection if he doesn't lay out a comprehensive plan for the next four years.

Through the campaign's early stages, it has often seemed as if President Obama and his advisers are methodically working through a checklist. For each group central to his electoral coalition, the president has either instigated or escalated conflicts with the GOP on symbolically powerful wedge issues.

Why does he need to do so?

He received votes based upon youth and race and very Un detailed promises of "hope and change".

Details do not work for politicians - any politicians.

Vague generalities usually are more effective at fooling people as they tend to fill in the blanks with what they "deem" to be appropriate or needed.

Look at what each candidate has done, how they have reacted to various issues and threats in our country, how they have/have not supported "all" Americans.

Neither the small few years of campaigning nor the several years at business and government give me a great deal of hope for our future.

Most of us usually vote for the lesser of 2 evils - locally and nationally.

How I wish for someone to trust, someone to be seen as a "person of his/her word", someone who values all Americans and this country more than re-election and power and payoffs.

Since he has gone back on most of his campaign promises obama will have trouble generating the level of excitement his 2008 campaign generated. He has shown himself to be just another corporate shill and a tool of wall street! His record on civil liberties is abysmal! Still, he is better than a sociopath with no conscience whose specialty is shipping American jobs overseas. And then there's that membership in a dangerous cult founded bu a convicted criminal!

The President has a record to run on. We have witnessed his plans for the country for the past 4 years. The next 4 are more of the same. If he wants to change anything he should have done it already. It is too late now to do anything. He tried the War on Women, and got sued by the Churches. He tried It is all Bush's fault, then did everything Bush did with the same results. He is clueless on the economy, and cannot overcome his Muslim background. He is one, and done, and the free loaders are going nuts. But you have to love watching the Democrats disintegrate.

Obama proved to be dismal failure who was able to ruin and destroy everything good in America with lies and deceit. Obama is fighting the core of America that pushed Americans to great success during 236 years, which is the freedom, liberty and capitalistic entrepreneurs that provide good earning jobs to the American people. With he Obama health dictatorial scam hopefully discarded by the Supreme Court, Obama has nothing to sell to the American people that will never trust him again. The fact that Obama claimed to be Foreign Student when he was President of Harvard laws School where he claimed that he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia proves the secretive Obama who used twelve different social security numbers in America. In addition, the proven claim that Obama offered Jeremiah Wright $150,000 to hide his “life story” prove that Obama still has plenty of secrets to hide from the American people. Furthermore, Obama claimed to the Mozlem brothers of the world that he was born Mozlem to Mozlem father brother from Kenya and become Quran scholar in Indonesia Madrassa. According to Jeremiah Wright Obama never converted to Christianity while he keeps lying to the American people and being Christian which prove that Obama has his private agenda for new world rather than new agenda for America.

You are right about #1, 2, &3.

You are wrong to think that they shouldn't be done.

1. Bush ruined the middle class, or economy, and our national honor. He deserves blame. he deserves prison.

2. "Trickle down" has been a total failure. the 'rich' invested their money outside the USA to maximize profits by exoporting US jobs to the third world. WHY SHOULD THE MIDDLE-INCOME Americans PAY FOR THAT? And, why should 'the rich' not pay the taxes to pay offf the HUGE national debt run up by their 'boy' Bush?

3. Yes, the bombs from drones will continue to kill your buddies in al Qaeda. You America-hating scum. Did you cry when Presidet Obama succeeded in killing Osama Bin Laden? I'll bet you did, scum.

8. Yes, both candidates are captives of Wall Street. That is the system that has evolved since the Civil War; accelerrated by the Roberts-Scalia Supreme Court. Our choice is only the lesser of two evils.

The rest of your points are like you, pointless.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Libra

Is a relationship getting dull and predictable? If so, it's time to inject some spontaneity into it, preferably by doing things on the spur of the moment and taking a few risks. Maybe you should go out for a meal for a change. There could also be a surprise in store when you realize you're attracted to someone who's totally different from your usual type.
