He will be re-elected based on his first term performance which should not be a problem.
Can we please stop with the race baiting posts? It seems like half the Greatest Page these days is making a point about him being black or Rmoney being white. Pointless.
A post on the Greatest yesterday literally was titled something like "I hate stupid white people." That should not be ok no matter what color you insert in that title.
Focus on his record! Rebounding economy! Healthcare! That's where our win is.

...focus on Obama "stellar" first term and the fact that Romney is a lying, pathetic, race-baiting jerk (and potential felon)

"Free stuff"? Maybe Romney is projecting.

(221 posts)We have people of all races on this site, so calling out one race as "stupid" is unacceptable and again, unnecessary.
Race can be a non-factor in this election if we let it be.

(102,101 posts)and only one of those was about Obama being black, and Romney white. I think you're exaggerating.
We've been singing the praises of healthcare under Obama, and the dangers of Romney wanting to wreck it, for weeks - months, even. The economy's rebound is not great (certainly not 'stellar'), though that's due to many factors other than the federal government, so it's not so surprising you don't see endless "we're all doing well" posts - they wouldn't be true.
