Does Barack Obama want to be re-elected in 2012?

[Gaspar]

You are so right about that, Conan.  But just watch - I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it happen.

BTW, I saw Fred Thompson on a commercial last night.  He does not look well.  Shame.  I like the guy and even though we do have some big differences, I think he would be a good President.

I don't think he's healthy enough to make a run.  He looked bad two years ago.

Oh yeah, I can top that, he looked bad in "Days Of Thunder"

A bit o/t, but I just saw the infamous "Voted Obama? Embarrassed Yet?" billboard while traveling north from Branson near Ozark, Mo.

There's an offensive anti-Obama billboard just south of Poteau with the Obama symbol on fire.  They want to burn the President alive?

Fred Thompson isn't eloquent enough to be President.  He speaks like his mouth is full of marbles.  He is a worse speaker than Bush (either one) was.

Yeah, that's a reasonable assumption. /s

You know, part of me wants to go ahead and get our next civil war out of the way so we can start with the healing and reinvigoration of our Democracy already. 

I'm really starting to believe that that's the only logical endgame to all the rhetoric out there.  At some point, enough people will believe it strongly enough to act on it.

Come on, you cannot be serious. Where was this "civil war" crap when Bush was getting burned in effigy?

That's what I'm talking about.  And yes I'm serious.

Well, if that's the case, are you going to take up arms and fight in that war? Oh, and who's side are taking?

[we vs us]

Isn't it obvious which side I'd be on?  And who's to say about the arms part.  It depends on whether I feel my way of life is threatened, or to what degree the things that make my country my country are being dismantled.  I'm not a naturally violent or revolutionary fellow, but everyone has a limit.

But I'm more interested in encouraging the "don't tread on me" folks to go ahead and blow all that revolutionary zeal out of their systems now.  All this rhetoric, all this tension is obviously building towards something.  I really just want to get it over with so we can get on with fixing the country.

We will let the Pioneer's take the arrow's.....

1st order of business is determining how we want to fix it.   Someone will be disappointed, starting the cycle all over again.

[heironymouspasparagus]

We have always been split pretty much down the middle, clear back to the founding.  (40% Tory, 40% revolutionary, 20% don't care)  Same as during the Civil War.  (How could war ever be considered civil?)

Ain't nothing gonna change in the things that people disagree on, either here or around the world.

I love that... well put.
