Dick Cheney: 'Barack Obama is a One-Term President'
2010-02-19
Former Vice President Dick Cheney rallied conservative activists today during a brief yet surprise appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference. "I think 2010 will be a phenomenal year for the conservative cause and I think Barack Obama is a one-term president," Cheney said to a standing ovation. He walked out to applause, chants of "Cheney" and a standing ovation as he appeared after daughter Liz Cheney's speech. "A welcome like that is almost enough to make me want to run for office," Cheney said, laughing. "But I'm not going to do it."

#12  Iff lcoal restaurant, etc. Afro-Amer patrons here on Guam are any example, the BAMMER'S = DEM'S HOLD ON 2012 VEE BLACK VOTERS IS ALREADY ON SHAKY GROUND.

In any case, IMO the cincher for mainstream America will be iff RADIC ISLAM 2012-2013 formally declares that it possesses POTENT NUKULAAR + OTHER ADVANCED WMD WEAPS-TECHS. On that day, NUC IRAN = TEHRAN GOVT. WILL ALL BUT AUTOMAT STOP BEING AN ISSUE IN FAVOR OF MORE DUBIOUS, MORE GEOPOL DANGEROUS NUCLEAR MILITANCY-TERRORISM.

IMO again, the above is COVERTLY why the PERTS say the POST-IRAQ "OBAMA SURGE" IN AFPAK HAS ROUGHLY ONE YEAR-OR-SO TO PROVE ITS MERITS, + MIL OR TACTICALLY DEFEAT THE MILTERRS.

#9  no mo uro, I mostly agree with your analysis but it really does point to what is wrong with America when voting blocks vote on such insubstantial things. Makes me sad.

#8  While they won't go for immigration reform this (an election) year, they'll push to get 12 - 20 million illegals amnesty and citizenship in 2011 so they can vote for the POS known as Obama.

#7  Dick Cheney: 'Barack Obama is a One-Term President'

If the left had its way, it would be true. President for Life(tm) only needs to get into office once.

#6  Fair enough Alanc. However, while the possibility of single urban white women staying home exists, the possibility of blacks staying home does not.

As long as this guy runs they will go out of their way to vote for one of "their own". Any strategy to unseat Obama has to take this fact into account.

#5  NMU the one main hope in your scenario is that those groups NOT vote. They won't vote Repub but they may not vote at all.

That was a big part of Scott Brown's victory here in MA. Many of the overwhelmingly liberal Ds stayed home.

#4  Tall order, Mr. VP.

Two groups have to be dented before Obama loses in 2012, blacks and single urban white women.

Blacks will vote for Obama no matter what. He could set fire to twenty buildings full of school children and immolate them all and more than 95% of the black voters in this country would cheerfully vote for him in 2012. Forget about peeling them off to Republican. As long as Obama runs they will vote for him out of ethnic solidarity and tribal loyalty regardless of his actions or policy.

Single urban white women will continue to vote for him (with rare but notable exceptions) because a. they want to sleep with him and b. he's a Dem, and the Dems promise these women the one thing they want most in life - protection from negative consequences in case of unplanned pregnancy (either easy abortion or welfare to raise the kid if they have it).

Running a charismatic sexy guy might peel away some single women in terms of the sexual attraction thing, but for many election cycles now the Dem promise of no liability for illegitimate pregnancy has kept over 75% of single urban white women well in the Dem fold. Good luck changing that.

This leaves us with the necessity of everyone else voting 65%-35% for a Republican candidate. Not impossible, but not hugely likely, either. I hope I'm wrong, but.....

#3  He'll only be a one term president if the repubs manage to get through to the drooling mass of halfwits that voted Obama in. Which is a pretty tall order .

That being said , it took a Carter administration to get a Reagan administration .

As Obama said , Hope and Change !

#2  Although his rhetoric says otherwise (imagine that) Barry has secretly given up on the Health Care bill as a source of revenue for fixing the economy his social programs, midnight basketball, 60 new federal agencies and hundreds of thousands of federal patronage jobs. We must now be punished incur massive new tax schemes, hence bipartisan commission to address the government's budget problems.

#1  Maybe he'll get impeached if he tries to shove health care takeover down our throats and be a half-term president.
