Obama increasingly comes across as devious and dishonest

Quote from Grandluxe:

I wonder if there will be riots if Obama loses.

I think that if it becomes apparent that Obama is losing he will call for protests etc and attempt to divide the nation even further. I've never seen such a divisive President in my lifetime. He'll also probably give away any advantage we have with missile defense and other things that he has the power to compromise. There will also be further attempts to loot the treasury for his friends.

Yet some percentage of people will still vote for him. Its amazing the American harbors so many people that hate her even though they thrive here.
 
Quote from JamesL:

His biggest advantage in '08 was that he was running against Bush (if you will) and McCain was represented as a continuation of a weak President's policies, similar to Carter and Ford in '76. Repubs in '76 were running as fast as they could from a disgraced administration and saw Ford as an extension of it, just as they were with Bush in '08. Obama and the Dems needed a boogieman and Bush was they perfect foil at the perfect time to fill that need. We are now 4 yrs removed from that and those who would lean right may not be so quick to run from the right again.

Yes, I agree. Bush was on balance a bad president. McCain could have distanced himself more from Bush, but that was hard to do after he had been a vocal supporter of Bush's worst decisions, ie Iraq, and had also forfeited his credibility by supporting the bailouts.
