Either Mitt Romney or Ron Paul would do nicely. They're both to the left of Obama on many issues.

[RockinRight]

Run Ralph Run!

Mehdi would probably like to see a challenge from an Islamist.

[Nat Turner]

Consider his record: he failed to close the prison camp at Guantánamo Bay; approved the use of military tribunals for detainees; "surged" 40,000 troops into Afghanistan; doubled the size of the detention facility at Bagram airbase; doubled the number of drone strikes inside Pakistan; gave CIA torturers immunity from prosecution; continued extraordinary rendition; said he didn't "begrudge" bankers paying themselves multimillion-dollar bonuses' ruled out a government-run "public option" on healthcare; froze pay for public sector workers; signed off on tax cuts for billionaires; vetoed a UN resolution condemning illegal Israeli settlement-building; and joined China in sabotaging the climate summit in Copenhagen. Liberals have given Obama a pass. Some avert their gaze; others proffer excuses. He needs more time, they say. But he has had 29 months in office. He is a good man in a bad world, they say, before blaming the Republicans for all America's ills. But it wasn't a Republican Congress that forced him, for instance, to double the size of the Bagram facility – where human rights groups have documented torture and deaths – and deny prisoners the right to challenge their detention. He did that on his own. Bagram is Obama's Guantánamo.

Sometimes you have to love the UK press...a bunch of lefties not in Obama pocket and still able to tell the truth...

[RockinRight]

They seem to refer to Romney as “far right” which pretty much delegitimizes the entire article.

[subterfuge]

Intentionally left out Herman Cain.

And what of all the utterly stupid things the “genius” obama has said, like the “57 states” and the “dutch language.”?

[Invincibly Ignorant]

No wonder London has been overrun by Muzzis.

The natives are restless. There is a marked difference in the elite media romance with UBAMA. I’ve noticed it since Trump came along, and Rush remarked today that the WaPo was not impressed with Barry’s cute remarks on border defense while speaking in El Paso.

Of course we’ve bushwhacked Trump so we’re back to crickits again among our field, who like gophers only pop up once in awhile then dive back underground.

Maybe Newt will marshall a sustained attack before we shoot him in the back too.

“Historians may look back on 1 May 2011, and the killing of Osama, as the day Obama secured his re-election.”

The question is whether the bump from killing Bin Laden will last a year and half. The answer is no f’ing way. If the economy is strong at election time, Obama should win easily. If it’s still in the toilet, he should be easy to beat. If recovery proceeds at a painfully slow pace, it’s game on.

Forget Sarah Palin and Donald Trump: Obama needs a challenge from the left

Trump IS the left ... his history of political contributions is public information.

The sheep are so gullible ...

[imfrmdixie]

"The irony is that Obama, a self-styled conciliator and healer, has spent much of his presidency appeasing Republican foes on Capital Hill and capitulating to corporations and Wall Street banks. He has eschewed populism, allowing the Tea Party to surf public anger over bank bailouts and bonuses, job losses and home repossessions."

[Son-Joshua]

It’s a good bet that Hillary will run. She has gained new credibility in foreign policy, from a liberal’s standpoint.

[miss marmelstein]

I often post over at The Guardian - it’s one of the easiest sites in the world to sign up on. That’s about the only good thing I can say about that rag. But there are many good conservative Americans who post over there and are bringing a whole new perspective to those insulated, left-wing Brits. I just wanted to encourage other freepers to go over there and sign up and get in the fight. Especially you, 2ndDivisionVet, because I think you’re great.

[PoloSec]

Even if there is good challenge from the left; I think he would still win the primary.

How ever; a strong challenge from the left would cause him to spend a significant portion of his billion dollar campaign fund. That would be a very good thing.

At this point in time any conservative could easily beat Obummer.

[LibLieSlayer]

medhi hassan... hmmm a good Anglo name... hmmm... NOT!

[TLI]

An Associated Press poll last October found an astonishing 47% of Democratic voters believed that Obama should be challenged from within the party for the 2012 nomination.

"Astonishing"

Yeah right, a real shocker that Hussein The Magnificent would get called onto the carpet by the donks.

Ten bucks sez the author has a little bammy campaign poster in his bathroom...

[familyop]

Well, of course Mehdi Hasan with the Empire would oppose Trump, who has spoken rather brashly against globalism.

[Mozilla]

The enemedia is hard at work at trashing the right. Obama has done stuff much worse than anyone on the right period. Just saying.
