Poll: Would You vote for Obama again?

[sabotstarr]

Obama was heralded as the president who loved and used the internet to bolster his candidacy as president.
The question is though, would you vote for him again after seeing his current performance? I personally am not old enough to vote (1 year...yesss), but would not vote for him.
Let this scenario assume that the other candidate is not an issue, and if Obama himself is worthy of another candidacy. And i did try to see if this topic was done, and did not see it. No bashing of Obama too hard, just if so or not and a short why.
And if you view this please vote, because i know most of you aren't currently

EDIT: so a running total of yes and no up to this point,
97 No's
90 Yes's
47 Undecided
120 People don't live in the USA (whats wrong with them?)

Depends on how he does until the election.

 

[Rajin Cajun]

Shouldn't you have an option of never voted for him?

will do

 

[Lazier Than Thou]

No chance to vote for those of us who didn't vote for him the first time?

Edit:

Fantastic!

 

[HT_Black]

I'd simply abstain from voting, due to my cast-iron belief that the world's going to Hell regardless of who's in charge of the United States.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I plan on making a revolution and destroying the bi-partisan system by then. We'll see if he still wants the country by then.

No problem. Just figured I would add it before someone stomped on your neck for it.

Having voted for Obama the first time at this point I'm undecided. All I know is that anyone the Republicans will field will grate my nerves especially if they are dumb enough to go with Palin. At this point the Republicans just need to split and hopefully get a real party platform other then act like we do the opposite of the Democrats. At this point I would probably vote for him again but I say that hesitantly as it is still way early in his presidency to really give a solid feel on the man.

Edit: added a depends on next few years button. sorry it wasn't up before.

If he grew a spine between then and now, maybe. He doesn't seem to understand that in this day and age, there is no in-between; you can't please both parties. He needs to be pushing his agenda as it needs to be pushed, not diluting and weakening it because of the loudmouthed, ignorant braying of the same idiot Republicans who got us into this mess in the first place. Maybe I was just naive for believing he wouldn't fall into the trap that is "bipartisan politics". Change, indeed.

I'm Canadian, so I can't vote for or against Obama, but I'd be interested to hear why you wouldn't vote for him. Just saying, "would you vote for Obama? I wouldn't," without any explanation doesn't really give us much to go on, does it? He's been in office for what, half a year, and already you think he's doing a sub-par job?

Personally, I think Obama's a decent President, and I was impressed by his speech in Cairo. I'm not a huge fan of the bailout, too much money spent on a manufacturing industry we should probably be transitioning out of - instead of putting that money as an investment towards creative industries - but I think the republicans would have gone a similar route.

Anyway, doesn't the other candidate always matter?

 

[Lazier Than Thou]

Where's the "I will if he gets his shit together and starts to deliver what he promises" vote?

Actually, of the 500 something promises he made on the campaign trail, he's got about an even record on promises kept vs promises broken. I saw something about it back in April, so things might have changed since then, but he's only had the opportunity to do around 30 of his promises.

Yeah but in all honesty the alternatives were worse. I mean it was either Obama or Mr. Rogers the grumpy ole' crazy Nam vet who sings songs about bombing nations. Oh and calls other national leaders Evil. McCain would have been a death knell for America whether that would have been a blessing because it would have been quick and painful will be answered in a few years.

Well, that is what he promised to do, and bipartisan politics is just another word for compromise. I agree that compromise isn't always warranted, but it is necessary at times.

Ummm.. i wouldn't vote for him again due to the fact that he promised that he would do all of these amazing things so quickly, and now the only major thing that i have seen has been riddled with things that he promised against (stimulus and ear marks) and yes the other candidate matters, but i wanted to see if people would still vote despite the opposing candidates.
and i haven't watched him enough to make a correct decision, but that doesn't stop the rest of public now does it? =)

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I personally didnt vote for him just because the last election was a bunch PC publicity babble..so i put my own vote in for a fictional person. But i say people, especially the republicans, are not giving him the proper amount of time to prove himself. Think, when he got sworn in he already was forced to try and fix all the crap Bush dropped upon us and people thought it would happen by the snap of a finger. But since it didnt Obama is now getting condemned

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Not likely. After eagerly releasing that massive "stimulus package," and then expressing interesting in releasing another, I'd rather not have him in for another term.

 

[Ancientgamer]

I never voted for him because I disagreed with him on his economic policy and some social issues. I turned out to be right on both counts.

Oh, and I'm underage too.
