Voters unsure of Obama’s agenda. President’s second-term plans vague.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Ask voters to describe what a second Obama term would look like, and even some of the president’s most ardent supporters have a hard time painting a picture.

“I don’t know,” said Cynthia Malbon of Manchester. “I’m skeptical that anything much is going to happen. It’s probably going to be worse next time around.”

Mrs. Malbon was attending a rally with the president Thursday in Manchester, as President Obama tried to answer criticism from Republican nominee Mitt Romney — highlighted again in the GOP challenger’s first rally after Tuesday evening’s debate — that the president lacks an agenda for a second term. The president came to New Hampshire for the first time since Sept. 7 to rally supporters as polls show the race tightening in this small but hotly contested swing state.

A Suffolk/7News poll on Monday showed the candidates tied at 47 percent. Two weeks ago, Mr. Obama was leading the Republican by an average of 6 percentage points in the Granite State.

The Suffolk poll found that voters give the edge to Mr. Romney in fixing the economy, 45 percent to 42 percent, a possible indication that people don’t have a good idea where Mr. Obama intends to lead the nation in a second term.

The president’s campaign team says his agenda for a second term includes hiring 100,000 more teachers, boosting domestic energy production, creating more manufacturing jobs and cutting the deficit. The president also argues that his second term would be a bulwark against repeating the mistakes made by his Republican predecessors.

If you have not figured out what Obama is all about by this time you should not be voting.

Second term plans?

I thought that when Biden alluded to what would happen to the SCOTUS if Romney were elected, that he inadvertently stuck a fork in 0bama when he said that.. America doesn’t want more Marxist butch lesbians on the SCOTUS!

And it's not true Obama does not have a 2nd term agenda.

There was a blurp, hardly anybody noticed, mid summer -

that Obama is going to fully tackle the AGW, and ‘Cap and Trade’ as top priority. Secondarily, his admin is going to fully cooperate with UN on Agenda 21/Global tax/other nonsense.

Too much of the public is clueless. Scary.

"It’s probably going to be worse next time around.”

This is going to be so sweet.

Yet this woman is at an Obama rally and I bet she is going to vote for him. Ugh what a loser.

There ARE no specific plans for Obama’s second term (now unlikely). He has specifically avoided in recounting them beyond the same empty promises he made in 2008. He has no budget, nor does he have any reconciliation of how he’s going to pay for the 5 trillion dollars of red ink he’s already created PLUS the crap he’s promising now.

He can’t relate this because he doesn’t know. He only knows he has to pay his entitlement voters. He has not yet come to the realization they are never satisfied. They are equivalent to uncontrolled vampires feasting on the available human population. None of them will realize, or recognize their gluttony left uncontrolled will leave them bloodless in a short period.

For O’s comment to which that was the response, he should have been impeached, removed from office, tried for treason, and hanged.

And that process should already have been completed.

Instead he may very well be reelected.

WASF.

Anyone that is unsure of dear leader’s second term agenda should have their voter registration revoked. He plans to do the same as the first term only in spades.

 Sung to I am Henry the V111

I am Obama the dupe I am
Barack Obama the dupe I am
I will give you nothing in the coming four
just like I did in the years before
and everyone was a trillion
lost it on the solar and the wind
sixteen trillion total
Barack Obama the dupe

I am Obama the dupe I am 
Barack Obama the dupe I am
I let George Soros pull my strings
by pass Congress appoint Csars and things
and secretly I'm a Muslim
bowing to every king and man of fame
I hate this place called America
Barack Obama is my name.

It’s almost as if Obama doesn’t really want to be re elected?

I recall that in the past, the GOP sometimes hasn’t had a tangible vision, and resulted in poor performance. Obama can’t even muster up some fictional plan on “hope and change” this time. They have no energy, vision, or plan...

They are acting like they know they are going to be defeated. I have suspected for years that each party KNOWS what the numbers look like, their own numbers. Maybe the Dems doing their own polling, know the game is beyond them?
