What would Obama do if reelected?

I did not realize that the New Yorker was a right wing rag.



................"Obama has an ambitious second-term agenda, which, at least in broad ways, his campaign is beginning to highlight. The President has said that the most important policy he could address in his second term is climate change, one of the few issues that he thinks could fundamentally improve the world decades from now. He also is concerned with containing nuclear proliferation. In April, 2009, in one of the most notable speeches of his Presidency, he said, in Prague, “I state clearly and with conviction America’s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” He conceded that the goal might not be achieved in his lifetime but promised to take “concrete steps,” including a new treaty with Russia to reduce nuclear weapons and ratification of the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty.

In 2010, Obama negotiated a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with the Russians and won its passage in the Senate. But, despite his promise to “immediately and aggressively” ratify the C.N.T.B.T., he never submitted it for ratification. As James Mann writes in “The Obamians,” his forthcoming book on Obama’s foreign policy, “The Obama administration crouched, unwilling to risk controversy and a Senate fight for a cause that the President, in his Prague speech, had endorsed and had promised to push quickly and vigorously.” As with climate change, Obama’s early rhetoric and idealism met the reality of Washington politics and his reluctance to confront Congress.

Could it be that even those of his own stripe are rapidly coming to the realization that the United States of America can't afford four more years of Obama?

I doubt he could accomplish anything big without control of Congress. I think the worst damage would be any new appointments to the SCOTUS

Agreed. Potential SCOTUS appointments scare the hell outta me. He'll just keep chipping away at the Bill of Rights - "under the radar", to use his own words.

BHO could be the biggest lame duck ever if re-elected. He doesn't play well with others and can't get Congress or even the Senate to pass his ideas.

You got that, Fred. We'll have executive orders out the posterior. If he gets back in office we may as well just send Congress home (not that they do squat anyway, but that's another rant) and crown him Dictator.

Without the need to campaign again for the next 4 years, he'll keep the wheels turned as far left as possible. We'll see the real Obama of old which should play well for Hillary in 2016 when she'll run more to the middle like her hubby.

We are seeing more infriendly stories from the traditionally Lefty media. Is this because they have decided BHO is flawed and a empty suit? Or do they just want to have evidence that they are not biased months before the election? Then they can come back on target full bore against Mitt in September and October?
