me too. i looked at his chart for last election and this coming one and it seems about the same so i think he will win but he still won't have the sort of support that will make it possible for him to do his best--that he will again be handcuffed. uranus seems to describe it best--folks looking for change but hanging on to tradition=stalemate.

The stars look good for Obama, but who knows. As an American I know better then to assume however I also hope he gets reelected.

I think people are hesitating to talk about this topic because it's related to politics and people take things very personally. I don't know if you go on to Global Unity 2.0 often, but the debate in relation to whether or not Obama will get reelected gets pretty heated.

You've got to take into consideration the circumstances that Obama was put in, seriously. He can only do what's manageable, if the economy is a mess and if he's constantly meeting resistance from a GOP dominated congress, getting things done becomes almost impossible.

I cannot understand who or how anyone could like Obama but I don't want to argue. I am just making a statement of my incredulity.

If leaving the country seems like a good option to you, then do what you gotta do. I think things will get better, eventually.

I would have to strongly disagree, he's used the signing statements MORE than G.W. Bush and launched a war in Libya without Congressional approval.

Drone attacks and assassinations are also within his purview and he explicitly requested the power to kill without oversight in the 2011 NDAA. This includes US Citizens.

Not acceptable to me. Nor is the opening of "Gitmo North" in Illinois any compensation for the minor improvements made at Gitmo.

And while Obama takes credit for ending the war in Iraq, truth is, this was done AGAINST his wishes.

I know people think it might be racist to not support Obama, but these wars are killing people- mostly brown people.

Well, I think he is charming and handsome, and the media distorts things.

Both of them are really intelligent too, and the last thing that we need is another...shall we say "less brainy" president in office.

What's also nice about those two particular presidents is that not only are they very intelligent but they're humanitarians. Obama has a Leo Sun with a Gemini Moon and Aquarius Rising. They've both been involved in nonprofit work and grass roots movements. Notably Obama's work in Illinois and abroad and most recently Clinton's work in Haiti.

When Pluto was in Aries, when the cycle initiated back in 1822 it was the rise of Andrew Jackson. Jackson ran the indians towards the ocean and made the two party gridlock. Ron Paul is the anti-thesis of the corruption and the idea that the president can bully to write laws. The founders never intended the president with that kind of power. He is at the forefront of the novelty of our time, "bailout", "federal reserve", "banks", "99%." I see that Uranus is in Aries, and I think people are getting with the energy and see it's a time for revolution. A Ron Paul revolution.

Interesting. Well, firstly Ron Paul isn't going to be the Republican candidate so he's not even an option to loosely ponder about. It's just a waste of energy, honestly to spend time discussing him because I think an Alien from outer space has a closer shot at becoming president than Ron Paul, no offense to Mr. Paul. Do you really want to discuss someone who's not even close to getting the candidacy? Romney's destroying the competition with about 600+ delegates. Paul only has 51. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/04/why-mitt-romneys-wisco nsin-win-puts-an-end-to-the-gop-primary/

It is only from studying this man's leads did I learn how are news nations are jsut propaganda willfully and deliberately creating their own stories. Hitler's Goebells is Murdoch's Frank Luntz. The smere stories against Ron Paul are all to protect people who understand nothing of God.

Ron Paul thinks one of the biggest threat to America is abortions. I, as a woman, will never vote for him. I also find it extremely hypocritical as someone who supposedly has a hands-off approach to government, that he believes governments have the right to police a woman's body.

At the same time, I see his appeal to some. He rides on this anti-corruption, small government, states rates platform. He appeals to conspiracy theorists and young people, because he is also anti-drug war. Which I don't think will ever amount to anything; seems to me he is lying for votes and support. We all know it will never happen. Furthermore, I don't understand the appeal of 'states rights" over federal rights. So what if the federal government can't oppress me if the state I live in still can? Switching one evil for another--it doesn't solve anything IMO.

Romney I do not trust as far as you can throw him. He's got big business and private sector written all over him. He'd be taking trickle-down economics to the next level and that is the absolute worst thing for this country right now.

Obama is going to just sit on his bum and do very little for the next 4 years if he gets in office, which really totally sucks. At least we know what we'll get with him. And we know he would put a liberal judge on the supreme court if someone steps down, and that is something it desparately needs right now.

No one is gonna touch anyone's birth control. You can get birth control for under 100 dollars for a woman at a doctor. This is ridiculous too. You can get condoms at Wal Mart for under 10 dollar or fifteen if you want fancy ones.
