Those here who keep on saying they "won't voter for Obama" probably never voted for him in the first place! Granted some may have and are now unhappy, say they have had enough, but when they actually think about things will come to the conclusion that "not" voting is just like voting for a republican, and when the time comes they will vote for Obama.

There are a lot of people who come here for one reason, to discourage people from voting for Obama. They troll the internet pretending to be democrats, liberals, and progressives, but in reality they are simply trouble makers, or right wing trolls.

Those who are serious about "not" voting for Obama need to really think about what a world with another republican in charge of this country would be like, and they only have to look at the states that are now controlled by republicans who won in 2010 because so many who voted in 2008 decided to stay home and "teach Obama a lesson"! The republican agenda is clear, and that agenda has nothing to do with working for the "real" people in this country, but working for the rich and the corporations allowing them to actually run the country.

President Obama has done a lot since he was elected, and set us on a path to correct the mess Bush and company did to this country. Allowing republicans to regain the WH would be a total disaster, and I don't think the majority of people in this country are going to go for the right wing agenda, so take that deep breath and keep thinking positive!
