Why Obama Should Be Re-Elected
I think we really have a winner as president, don’t you? Barack Obama has been doing a great job running the country, always out there doing… stuff. Lots of stuff. Big stuff. President stuff. We’re lucky we have this guy, and it should be an easy decision to keep him around for another four years.
Now, there are people who say Obama has done an awful job. They go on and on about how he has no idea what he’s doing in the Middle East and cite all these statistics that show how bad the economy is, and it’s all rather dreary and depressing. No one needs that. Plus the suggestion that Obama has done a bad job as president is ludicrous. Quick question: Have you ever seen anyone go up to Obama and say, “I would like a dozen tulips”? No, of course not. No one thinks he’s a florist. It’s clear from the job he’s doing that he’s the president. So how bad a job could he be doing as president if it’s so easily recognizable that he is the president? Logic, people.
And the guy has done absolutely everything he’s promised… that’s mattered. Like remember how he said he was going to pass a big stimulus and keep unemployment from being 8%? Well, he passed his stimulus, and now unemployment… is not 8%. It’s an entirely different number than that. If you really didn’t want 8% unemployment, well guess what: You’re not dealing with that level of unemployment. Promise kept. And look at all the work he did for it: He spent $666 billion to bypass 8% unemployment. Could you spend that much money? No way. If I sat you down in front of a computer, logged you in to Amazon, and said, “Spend $666 billion,” it would be futile. You’d be clicking “Buy Now” until your mouse broke. But Obama did it; the man’s got hustle.
Obama also promised to get us out of Iraq, and he… started a war in Libya so we forgot all about Iraq. That’s pretty much the same thing. Another promise kept… approximately. And he used real outside-the-box thinking; Obama doesn’t do things the easy way. Like with getting ObamaCare passed — that was very difficult… especially since everyone hated it and didn’t want it. But Obama doesn’t care if something is difficult or unpopular or nonsensical or unaffordable; he just gets out there and gets it done. That’s a powerful president.
It’s already such an easy decision to say we should reelect him, but if you’re not convinced, there are tons of reasons why a second Obama term would be a great idea:
REASONS WE SHOULD REELECT OBAMA
* We’d save on moving costs. You’ve seen the economy; we need to be pinching every penny we can. Yet we’re thinking of paying to move a new guy into the White House and sending Obama back to Chicago? Such unnecessary expenses do not put the country first.
* We don’t have to make a bunch of international phone calls. If we get a new president, we have to call all the other countries and update them on the change in leadership. Plus a new country was just added — South Sudan — which means even more work. Who has time for that?
That Fleming guy cracks me up.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR WRITING THIS FILTHY ARTICLE PRES. OBAMA IS AN ABSOLUTE FAILURE HE DOESN’T DESERVE TO FINISH HIS TERM LET ALONE BE RE ELECTED! OBAMA IS BOMBING PAKISTAN, LIBYA, YEMEN, SOMALIA, AFGHANISTAN, AND IRAQ AND YOU THINK THAT THE (R) ARE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING TO START ANOTHER WAR? AS I SAID YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF OBAMA IS BOMBING 2 CONTINENTS AND CAN’T MAKE 1 FULL TIME JOB! HE IS CORRUPT AND SPENDS LIKE A TEENAGE GIRL. OBAMA IS A FEAR MONGERER WHO THREATENS TO STOP S.S. CHECKS? OBAMA USES AMERICAN CITIZENS AS LEVERAGE FOR HIS NEEDS! IN THE U.S. WE HAVE HIGH FOOD $, HIGH GAS $, HIGH HEALTHCARE $? MY PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE HAS GONE 40% SINCE HE PASSED OBAMACARE AND IT HASN’T EVEN KICKED IN YET! HE CAUSED THE GAS TO GO UP W/ HIS DRILLING POLICIES, EPA REG. AND A BRAND NEW WAR HE STARTED IN LIBYA ALL BY HIMSELF. ETHANOL SUBSIDIES ARE WHY WE HAVE HIGH FOOD PRICE. OBAMA LOVES ETHANOL, AND OBAMACARE HAS CAUSED HEALTHCARE TO GO UP! OBAMA HAS DEBASED OUR $ TO A POINT WHERE IT’S ALMOST WORTH NOTHING! SO TELL US ALL AGAIN HOW 4 MORE YRS. UNDER THIS PIECE OF TRASH IS WHAT AMERICA NEEDS???? WHERE ARE THE JOBS??? THE TEA PARTY AND (R) ARE OUR ONLY ANSWERS AND YOU BETTER PRAY THAT OBAMA LOSES B/C IF HE DOESN’T THIS COUNTRY IS ON THE ROAD TO GREECE! .4% GROWTH? 1.3% GDP? LAST YRS. GDP REVISED DOWNWARD! SO HOW IS HE A GOOD BET FOR AMERICA? HE’S NOT, THE ANSWER IS THAT YOUR INCOMPETENT! DON’T BE COUNTER PRODUCTIVE TO OUR ECONOMY DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE COUNTRY NOT FOR YOUR PARTY. THINK ABOUT THE 9.2% UNEMPLOYMENT B/C IF OBAMA WINS YOU MIGHT BE APART OF THAT UNEMPLOYMENT #. WE ARE ENTERING A NEW RECESSION, THE TRUTH IS WE NEVER RECOVERED FROM THE FIRST RECESSION AND AMERICANS ARE SUFFERING. VOTE (R) IN 2012 IT’S THE ONLY ANSWER
^^^ only read the headline
…and had trouble with that.
clearly doesnt understand sarcasm and satire
Oh, literal Jim!
Obviously, all the lower-case letters in the article confused him.
that’s hilarious. must be what it is.
I agree. read a little more than the head lines before making comments.
Well, most of N/A’s points are valid. However, the article is pure satire, not to be taken seriously…but to be taken as exactly the opposite of what the author writes.
Helpful tip for novice computer users:
There’s a key on your keyboard that says “Caps Lock”. Push down on it once, then never touch it again.
THANKS! TYPING IS MUCH EASIER NOW
I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that you are not aware of the fact that using all caps is considered shouting. So, if you’re serious about wanting people to actually read what you write, nip the caps pronto. We are not deaf or across the street.
Don’t look now, but I think he’s joking.
Joke’s on you. He replied to a satire with a satire and nobody noticed. This is hilarious.
HUH?…CAN YOU SPEAK UP PLEASE?
LOL.
Thanks, N/A. I laughed for about five minutes at your snappy comeback.
Well done.
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR AWESOME
Paraagraph breaks would be nice too.
C’mon now, show of hands: Who here actually READ the entire post by N/A ?
Be honest now. Let’s see those hands…
1… 2… 3…
As I suspected. Both long AND uppercase – the post was doomed.
N/A must be a really old person, or maybe a disgruntled ex-Cub Scout. /sarc
I tried, I really did. Half the first line and every 5th or 6th word after that was the best I could manage. But I think I got the gist.
I read the first line, then the last line. Even that was too much!
I read THREE lines…motherhood has taught me perseverance, but that was just about as much as I could take.
I PROBABLY READ MORE OF N/A’S POST THAN HE READ OF FRANK’S ARTICLE.
Does that count?!
I read the whole thing. Thought it was funny, and what lib friends would understand the sarcasm
One line.
Actually, part of one line… I didn’t get all the way through it. An All caps psychotic rant by someone who didn’t read the article?
What were the odds it would provide valuable or useful (or even accurate) information? 2%? Less?
Yeah, skipped it. Life is too short for that kind of thing.
N/A. are you for real? you need to read the article again. the complete article. at first blush I too was pissed off. I kept reading to see where he was going with it. N/A all he was doing was pointing out just what a sorry excuse obama has been and is as a president,
Caps Lock: Find it.
Sarcasm: Look it up.
Personally, I think N/A was engaging in satire of his(?) own. Particularly when informed of the Caps-Lock key, and thanking for that info while still doing it in caps.
Reasoning: Mr. Frank did a previous post on “Tips for Not Appearing Crazy on the Internet”. So, basically going all meta on us.
…my thoughts exactly.
Middling job of it – but ok.
Actually, I think N/A is probably a “progressive intellectual” pretending to be a conservative and writing in a way that in his immature imagination he/she thinks all conservatives must think and write.
Now he’ll probably print off this column and show it to all his intellectual friends as an example of how the mentally challenged folks of flyover country think. . . .
n/a is funnier than all of you.
FRANK FLEMING, YOUR HELARIOUS. IRREGARDLESS OF THE ACCURACY OF YOU’RE ARGUMENTS IN THIS ARTICLE, POSTING A REPLY UNDER THE PSUDENYM “N/A” WAS A MASTER-STROKE OF COMITY. THANKS FOR EVERY THINK YOU DO AND FOR GIVING US A SMILE IN THIS DOGGY-DOG WORLD.
Let me guess steverino, GED?
Bee-you-ti-ful, Steverino.
Can’t beat good comity.
Geez, get a sense of humor already.
NA made a good point and I have to agree w/ Obama on this too. We must stop S.S. checks — it’s been, what?, 40-50 years since we defeated the Nazis? I would think no one should be sending checks to the S.S.
Two words, mate:
Caps Lock.
Quit screaming and read more than the head lines.
To channel Reagan on drunken sailors’ spending,, you are defaming teenage girls.
tl;dr
Wow. Direct to FAILblog for this pinhead!
Let’s not forget the comedians, late night talk show hosts, comedians turned pundits, and hosts of fake news/comedy programs!
They’ll actually have to start writing new material if a new president is elected.
For the last three years they haven’t had the burden of writing jokes about Obama since he’s just too awesome to make fun of.
Don’t make them have to go back into that stuffy writers room!
And the writers of the Democrats’ talking points, who will have to dig their old Bush-era scripts out of storage in order to characterize the newly elected Republican president as a “dunce,” a “liar,” and an “extremist.”
…and find a new witty wordplay to compare with Bushitler. That must be really difficult.
“How would you feel if you were trying to get the one open register position at Walmart and then found out you were up against the former president of the Unites States of America? What chance would you have there?”
For any job other than cashier, I’d say your chances would be better than average. But for the cashier position, it might be tough. Obama is good at taking other people’s money.
Not so good at delivering the change.
He might be good at taking other people’s money, but then he just gives it away to his friends.
I’d feel optimistic in competing with Barry for a cashier job; the manager at the store could expect to have money in the register at the end of the day.
Your headline will be mentioned and highlighted by all the predictable left wing talking heads. The content won’t. Nice, huh? Should have thought of it or thought up a different one. At this point, nothing having to do with the sleazebag in the WH is really very funny.
actually, i got here from this text in The Patriot Post’s daily email:
Answers to Questions Nobody Is Asking: “Why Obama Should Be Re-Elected” –PajamasMedia.com. had to read an article by that title at pajamasmedia. glad i did. funny as hell.
Fleming;
You must be the only one left with a sense of humor; it would be funny if it wasn’t so damn sad.
We would save a lot of money re-electing Obama too; there would be no need for Congress or the Courts; no need for czars (useful idiots ’til they get him re-elected); no need for any more CEO’s (since Obama would assume their roles)and the list goes on. By 2012 it may be King Obama and Queen Michelle with the masses earning minimum wage; buddies getting exceptions to every rule and nothing but French quisine at the Palace (formerly the WH). OOPS!! I forgot …
no need for elections either. All in all … a money-saving motherlode!!!
Not only would we save money by re-electing Obama – but he’ll also make sure that the pitance that we would spend keeping him around would be paid in dollars that are worth less than ever! So we spend less money and the money we do spend is cheaper. It’s a win-win!
I can see this article posted on the front page of the New York Times along with the sub head;
And it’ll be all over NPR.
ROFL!
Don’t forget all the bucket makers that would be out of a job if he wasn’t re-elected…(SEE IMAO.US).
The biggest difficulty for this man-child’s re-election…? He is running out of things to lie about. Heh.
john, is that you? that’s so lame.
Please note that when Obama said that he was going to get the US out of Iraq, what he meant was that he was going to get the US Media out of Iraq. Sure ’nuff, cranking up some action in Libya had the whole gang looking for new visas.
Actually, there is a case to re-elect Obama: if the Tenth Amendment folks want to actually wrest power back from Washington, they will need a weak President there. If Obama wasn’t such an all-round disaster, I’d say to go for it.
How’s he ever going to improve his golf score if he isn’t re-elected? It takes practice people…practice!
What is the Dimocratic Campaign Slogan going to be for 2012? They burned the best ones in 2008, profound
clichesslogans like “Yes We Can!” and “Hope and Change!”.I was thinking something along the lines of “Obama 2012: Prosperity is Right Around the Corner!”
I think somewhere I read it was going to be “Winning the Future” or just WTF, with Charlie Sheen as his new campaign manager…
WTF? No seriously, you’re going to get everyone onboard with billboards reading:
“OBAMA WTF”
What the Future are you thinking people?
Considering what he’s done best while in office I think it will be Fore more years!
And where would Michelle vacation if Obama isn’t Re-elected? Plus with Obama tied to the
golf coursedesk, she gets the added bonus of leaving the spouse. It’s only fair.Do you really want the Obama daughters to do without?
The most convincing argument for the re-election of President Obama that I have read yet. If you are an Obama supporter, you really should send this to any of your friends who are having doubts about our young and exciting president.
Another reason: no one else has Obama’s dedication to high speed rail. Without building taxpayer-funded bullet trains from Zeroville to Nowheretown (which nobody will ride because the bus is cheaper) who will ensure that we “win the future” and compete with the Chinese in the all-important category of gummint-sponsored boondoggles?
And who will come up with the stupid phrases we all love like “Win the Future”? We can’t go 4 years without those.

“Obama also promised to get us out of Iraq, and he… started a war in Libya so we forgot all about Iraq. That’s pretty much the same thing.”
Yup, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, who cares? All of them are dirt-poor Middle Eastern sink holes with a lot of sand in them, so who will know the difference if we lose more people, time, and precious resources in countries people know nothing about, let alone can find on a map. And what about Afghanistan? Remember the little on-going “skirmish” we have going on over there? Oh, that’s right, it has a lot of sand in it too. I guess the American people are too “dumb” to pay any attention to that war. That is, of course, unless you’ve had a son or a daughter, a husband or a father, a brother or a sister, or an aunt or an uncle who was killed there. Yes, who remembers dirt-poor places like that? We do.
War in Libya? I thought it was some kind of something in a somewhat kinetic fashion?? With Obama in charge we no longer get involved in unseemly actions like “war.”
Obama’s doing a great job. I’m sure Jimmy Carter is smiling. So far he’s gotten over 800 Democrats fired from office across the nation. Plus some RINOs got booted as well. Keep up the good work Obama! Let’s hope he runs again during the next election and doesn’t quit like LBJ. Super majority here we come!
As I began to appreciate the dimensions of candidate Obama a little more than three years ago, I got very excited. Here, I decided, was the man who would fatally discredit progressivism and eliminate it as a force in American politics. Nothing he has done since has disappointed me. We may be looking at the most successful presidency ever (in my terms anyway).
That’s not an argument for Obama’s re-election, btw. He is so good at what he does, I am confident he will have finished the job of destroying progressivism by the time his first term is up.
It’s not funny, Dude.
Not to mention the interstate phone bills to relay the bad news to all of Theresa Heinz’s 57 states. Bigger than ObamaCare waivers.
You forgot the Muslim outreach thing – it’s working out very well. NASA is making them feel good about their huge contributions to space exploration, and that’s very important, now that we’re grounded and all. It looks like we’re pretty much stuck with the Muslims down here on planet earth, so we’d better do whatever it takes to get along. Obama was downright clairvoyant on this one. Oh, and Islamic fascism is on the march in Egypt, Libya, Turkey, Dearborn, and on military bases too, so chalk another one up for Hussein.
I’m excited about all the jobs being created at shovel factories, and the assembly lines being retrofitted for armoring up the golf carts for the Secret Service details.
Buy stock in spades!
Let me sum up the articles content with an old one liner:
“Other than that Mrs Lincoln did you enjoy the play ?
Wheeeew, thank God for sarcasm. I was ready to go into attack mode.
Gee – almost makes me feel bad I didn’t vote for him last time.
Almost.
Just to add ” tuh thuh ” list-
We won’t have to worry about the imposition of Sharia Law. It will get done without us.
There are more reasons for voting for Obama in 2012 than listed:
1. Without Michelle O., how would we know what to eat? (I heard her voice this morning when I picked up my jelly doughnut)
2. Without O., all worshipping libs would have to find a new religion.
3. If O is defeated, Oprah might give up on her failed network and resume daily tv….what a terror to contemplate
4. Without O, who will apologize to the world for our even existing?
5. Without O to show us the way, how may we aspire to the better things in live: unending golf, Wagy beef at $100 a pound for dinner, lavish trips, lavish vacations, lavish dinners?
Besides, without The One, how would we be so sure that America and Western Civilization are in decline? (Scratch that: we would still have Michael Moore and Paul Krugman.)
You missed entirely about how replacing Obama will result in a return to partisanship. Obama has refused to be or say anything partisan, in fact it is a rare speech he makes when he doesn’t call out republicans for being partisan and pointing out how terrible republicans are for their partisanship. If we replace Obama we will most likely see a return to partisanship where people belittle and denigrate other people just because of what party they belong to.
“No one thinks he’s a florist”
The story I hear is that hundreds of folks are asking him for his autograph while he’s golfing, often saying “Thanks Tiger” after he signs…..
You missed the biggest accomplishment of the Obama administration. He has solved the illegal immigration problem. He has screwed up the economy so much that the illegals are going back to their country of origin to find jobs.
As Mr burns would say about your comment
EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am waiting for the Post-Tenure tell all books to find out what really happened, is happening and will happen up to the End. And I will be very disappointed if we already know.
Don’t forget the expense and time in deprogramming all those school children. We’d have to import deprogrammers, therapists from all over the world. Where will they go to the bathroom? That’s all I’m saying.
The best reason for re-electing Obama (and one I’ve often thought of): So that we may continue to enjoy the Michelle Obama’s Mirror web site!
I’ll give you two other reasons he should be reelected:
1) He’s got to finish a full two terms to fulfill his affirmative action obligation.
2) As one of his ardent admirers on the writing staff of the New Yorker recently remarked, “He’s cool!”
How could Bill Maher keep bashing current President Bush if Obama isn’t re-elected?
This is one of your best Mr. Flemming. Not only was the article quite entertaining but then you blessed us with some seriously hysterical commenters. If they are for real it’s funny but if their sarc warriors it’s flaming hysterical.
Scary Evil Monkey eat your heart out.
Yes, sean, it was all satire, even the commenters. The guy with the caps-locks problem was hilarious. His was satire, too. Brilliant stuff, referring so subtly back to “How not appear crazy”.
Dude, you’re hard-Left, yet you liked it too? Good for you.
and don’t forget, if he doesn’t get 4 more years as king barry,
how is he going to keep getting all those jobs for Texas, and
the other red states?
and, just think about all the $$$ he is probably making for us selling all
those guns to the mexican drug guys?
also, he won’t be able to help us stop drilling for oil & gas.
and there are those golf courses that will probably have to lay people off.
we would be fools not to keep this guy on.
Sir Frank Fleming brings out the best in all of us.
Don’t know how 2012 election will wash at this early stage. However, IF Obama is re-elected it will be because of a miserably slow economic recover and employment continuing to tak lower and lower once more….has been ignored by the divided and dysfunctional TeaParty-GOP House and a senate letting the TeaParty-Gop of the senate take the drivers seat in setting the [agenda] of the senate, but not the results. In other words the dems are letting the TeaParty-GOP take the lead since the election of 2010.
What has been the agenda of the TeaParty-GOP? Politcal posturing for 2012 over governing on behalf of the nation and its most serious circumstances!
Is anybody keeping track of the new job losses being announced weekly…in the number of thousands by the announcing companies? Anybody following the begginings of lay offs in the financials like “HSBC Announces Layoffs of 30,000 Workers…” most of U.S. oeration being closed and the company moving to “emerging markets” in which I suppose most of you know where that is.
The dems are letting the TeaParty-GOP drive the agenda and solutions bus to the election of 2012…so I wouldn’t be to arrogant in thinking they hold all the ace’s.
Maybe its the fatigue poisons (wrong side of 72 and I go to work in an hour) but I find my self agreeing with the transcendent logic of not only Herr Fleming but the refulgent commentary provided by the commentators in the comment section.
Did you notice the disgust on the faces in the peanut gallery?
This month the General Accounting Office (GAO) released a report on the financial crisis and came to the same conclusion as Judicial Watch: The government has failed to provide a rationale for its unprecedented intrusion into the private sector through the massive bailout scheme initiated in 2008. And more transparency is needed to get to the truth. When questioned about their rationale for the bailouts (by Judicial Watch, the GAO and others), government officials simply repeat their standard line: There were “unusual and exigent circumstances” that warranted extreme measures.
“We’ll finally find out what happens if we keep adding to our debt.”
I think we ‘ll find that out no matter who wins the next one.
N/A is Frank J.
The way I see it, if the President wants to be re-elected for a second term, he should run his new campaign on a theme of “Hope and Change!”
Obama is Jimmy Carter 2.0 and he’s a bigger more expensive failure than Carter. In fact, this potus is so out of touch with real Americans that phoney libturds like this writer pretend to invent reasons to reelect the failure. NO! Its time to move on, in fact Dems should have primaried Obama with Howard Dean or someone like Senator Chuck Schumer. Hillary would have been a better choice in 2008!
Obama and the Obamabots have harassed the nation with race baiting lies coming from within the white house senior staff and directed outward via MSNBC aka MSDNC the media arm of the Democratic Party. Yes! MSDNC is corruptly in the tank for Obama and the race baiting, class warfare and anti capitalist attacks have come from the whitehouse and MSDNC. Yes they did! The videos online don’t lie.
Obama has scared industries into a holding pattern fearing tax hikes when lowering taxes would have increased competition at home and abroad. Obama talked in favor of lower corporate taxes, then flip flopped just recently when the Boehner bill was introduced. We need to be more competitive on a global scale coupled with import tariffs so USA producers can produce more goods at home which leads to JOB CREATION!!! Job creation also comes from concentrating on manufacturing and service industries. Obama spent too much effort on needed infrastructure but he wasted money paving some roads that could have waited. What about tax credits for high unemployment areas that would target minority and white areas with unemployment exceeding 15%? Nope, Obama dropped the ball.
Liberal extremists like PJMedia and MSDNC spend too much time angering the base of uneducated with the wrong information. You people have helped to stall the economy while also undermining the opportunities to create growth. You can’t rant about a few bad companies and lump all companies into the same basket. That’s what communists do so if you not commi’s then please try acting more like mainstream Americans than the extremists you’ve become. In short stop terrorizing the nation. Thank you.
