Besides Obama’s conniving ways, he has this willingness to take the unpopular side of controversial issues. I’m starting to think the guy has no idea that picking the unpopular side of issues can only work against him. One example: his stance on the proposed mosque in lower Manhattan, New York. Even though the overwhelming majority of Americans do not want a mosque opened at Ground Zero, President Obama has rightfully stated that America is about freedom of religion, and Muslims should be able to open a mosque wherever they want. While he may be correct in terms of the U.S. Constitution, it’s an unpopular stance on a highly emotional issue.
And lastly, the most important reason why we should not re-elect President Obama is that at least thus far he has not had much of an impact on the job market. Perhaps his stimulus packages have saved and or created public sector jobs, but his impact on the private sector has been nil. People continue to feel the financial crunch, and at least for the moment they do not see any relief in sight. Granted, he inherited a financial mess that dates back to Reaganomics, but if President Obama cannot move the economy in a substantial way in the next two years, then he deserves to be replaced.
