If Obama wins, what would he do in a second term?

Washington Post ^ | May 4, 2012 | Ezra Klien

[QT3.14]

“In a second term,” Mitt Romney darkly warned in a speech to the National Rifle Association last month, President Obama “would be unrestrained by the demands of reelection.”

But Romney was cagey about what, exactly, that would mean: His only specific prediction was that Obama would “remake” the Supreme Court. So it was helpful when, at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner a week ago, the president opened up about the “secret agenda” he has planned. “In my first term,” he joked, “we ended the war in Iraq; in my second term, I will win the war on Christmas. . . . In my first term, we passed health-care reform; in my second term, I guess I’ll pass it again.”

In other speeches, Obama has offered a more serious preview of what he’d like to get done if he’s reelected. On March 30, he listed second-term priorities including reforming the immigration system; remaking the nation’s energy policy so it addresses “the long-term challenges. . . . of energy independence and climate change”; doing more to ensure that “people who don’t have work can find work” and that “our housing system is working for everybody”; pushing forward on education reform; and executing an “effective transition out of Afghanistan.”

But that’s not really a list of what Obama would do in his second term. It’s a list of what he would like to do.

It depends on whether or not Mitt kills the down ticket as well. We lose the House and you and I may wind up in reeducation camps. We keep the house and gain nothing else and look for the US to go full out Euro-Socialist. We keep the house and gain the senate and you will see Bam Bam sending out trial baloons to see if all his shiney new afirmative action generals will support him in a “temporary” suspension of the other branches of government.

FEORWARD - Destroy capitalism in America

Countdown until Jackwagon leaves Office: 258 days as of May 7, 2012.

[Maceman]

He'll try to implement his Civilian National Security Force.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

I hope he shoots that little leftist shit Ezra Klein for being a weasel. It would be a mercy killing in the eyes of some; just weeding out the sellouts and weak, in the eyes of the Obama people.

Excuse me. I have to go take an “Ezra Klein”.

[GreatRoad]

Transfer Americans money to his stash in Geneva unless you voluntarily contribute to it - just like Stalin. $9 gas. Lots of people will be disappeared.
He will laugh like Caligula as people scream.

[patriot08]

Finish destroying America.

The Lord God is Ruler of the Universe. Whether Obama, or anyone else thinks that is irrelevant. He just is, as everyone is about to find out. He IS, and he RULES in the affairs of men and the Universe. - I think Obama is a judgement of God on this country, and the world, Obama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi, Clintons and all their minions. We are the things created, and as such, His ways are above our ways and His thoughts above our pitiful thoughts.

Group therapy for me.

[TrumpisRight]

My 6 grandkids!! They are what it is about! The Lord God must help me protect them.

I’m a Tea Party member who has been to many an events and donated 100’s of dollars to help get the word out.

I too lecture on the Constitution and have studied it for more 55 years. It will take a true leader to get us out of this mess we are in. That leader will need the Lord God to give him or her the drive to lead and lead us out.

[Don Corleone]

in my second term, I will win the war on Christmas.

He is NOT joking!

[denydenydeny]

One thing I know he’ll do is what the British Labour party did during the long Blair/Brown years: Remove all immigration restrictions and take in millions of immigrants for no other reason but to give the Democrat Party a permanent electoral majority.

[Kenny500c]

He will begin the Obama Momma 2016 campaign.

[grobdriver]

what would he do in a second term?

Apparently, whatever he wants.

No opposing body seems to be strong enough or willing enough to stop him.

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

And how, exactly, would a GOP-controlled house and senate restrain Obie’s use of Executive Orders, USSC and other judge appointments and nominaitons and foreign treaties to continue with his destruction of the USA? Perhaps by calling for his impeachment. But other than that, we’d still be royally screwed.

Exactamundo!

YET, we have "Freepers?" such as Waywardson who want all of us to abstain from voting for Mittens and goes so far as to frame his arguments wrapped around "Christianity and Patriotism," as outlined in his INSANE and DELUSIONAL RANT yesterday: " "Why Christians and Patriots CANNOT vote for Mitt Romney

I'm still shaking my head over that one and what you claimed our FASCIST, NARCISSISTIC, NEO-COMMIE, AMERICA-HATING, TERRORIST-SUPPORTING, Dear Leader would do, is only the tip of the iceberg and will no doubt harm our Republic to a point we may not recover for decades....IF EVER.

Sure, stay home and help O'Bummer get re-elected.

Makes sense to me!!!!! /s

“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.” ~ Ronald Reagan, from his first inaugural speech as governor of California, January 5, 1967

Ronald Reagan’s warning about losing our freedoms echoes down through a generation of lost momentum and squandered opportunity.

We now have the most ignorant electorate in the history of American elections. I believe we have the most corrupt government and media our country has ever seen.

In any case, Americans will get the country it apparently wants and a country it so richly deserves.

I would have voted for Newt.

[Chode]

crush, kill and destroy whats left of the country???

[Clintonfatigued]

This is something you need to ask yourselves. I'm not condemning or judging you, as it's your choice alone and one that I'm not qualified to make for you. But you know as well as I do what awaits us if Obama is reelected. If Obama does win a second term and the inevitable happens, you'll have to ask your consciences “Did I do my part to prevent this catastrophe from happening?”

[Eastbound]

"Please God in heaven help us in real time of need!!"

Necessity is the mother of invention. I'm sure we'll think of something.

[cripplecreek]

My conscience is clear. I have no intent of facing my maker with excuses about the lesser evil.

Its something I gave a lot of thought to many months ago and I have to put my own soul first because there is no collective salvation and I can’t save America by myself.

[Tau Food]

One of the few things I’m sure of is that I’ll never feel guilty about not voting for Romney.
