Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

Poll: Obama’s Reelection most-feared 2012 event

When a poll asked which potential 2012 news event is most feared, Obama’s reelection finished 1st with 33%. Obama losing finished tied for 3rd with 16%. Other answers: Taxes will increase – 31%, Iran will get a nuclear weapon – 16%, North Korea will attack South Korea – 4%. Frankly, number 2, 3b and 5 are all consequences of number 1, so that score should be 84%.

Come on, just give the man a break. He cannot possibly be worse that GWB. He could correct some of his predecessor's mistakes, though.

  He's had three years to try to correct the few mistakes Dubya made and he hasn't done it. In fact, things are worse now than they have been since Carter was President and another 4 years will make things worse. Have you looked at the economy and joblessness problem lately? Point proven, Obummer has to go.

  Now, if only everyone that has the same fear would go out and vote for the man with the "R" next to his name, we won't have to worry.

This muslim marxist POS will probably try to burn the WH down when he realizes he's not getting another term. He has pure snake blood running thru his veins.

I look at it this way; even if we end up with another 4 years of The One... what's the worst that could happen? "Oh noes! He's GOLFING again! Quick, Marge! Get the kids and run! Run to the bunker, dammit!"

Alleluia and A-fricken-men! Actually, I hope he goes on vacation and stays there, then all that other stuff won't be an issue! Have him take Princess "Skelator" Pelosi and Prince "You Average Joes Smell" Reid with him and DNC Chair Debbie "Does Des Moines" Wasserman-Schultz, as well.

I'm dreading another 10 months of Race Baiting, Class Warfare, and multimillion dollar parties and vacations until we can finally be rid of this Lying Marxist and his hypocrite of a wife.

  Don't worry, he won't go on any more vacations before the election, he has too many public appearances not related to the campaign to attend. ;-)
  Moochelle on the other hand ought to be spewing CO2 all around the planet on her private vacation jet!
