Assuring Obama is a One-Term President

The race is on. Several people have stepped forward and expressed an interest in or have already filed papers to run for the Republican nomination and be the candidate that will challenge Barack Obama in 2012.

After watching the two televised debates thus far, I can tell you that all who participated in debates, either in South Carolina or New Hampshire, would make a much better president than what Obama has been so far, and, truthfully, I don't see him improving in the next 18 months.

I also really liked the debate participants attacking Obama and his policies and not each other. Any ammo used by Republicans against Republicans is ammo the Democrats can also use against Republicans.

If we all agree that we don't want to see Obama in the White House until January of 2017 then we must stand behind whatever candidate is chosen by the voters in the primaries. In 2008 there were many who were upset with either John McCain or Sarah Palin or both. There were some who sent a message and voted for Barack Obama simply because they didn't like the Republican ticket. I ask you "how did that work out for you?"

Everyone has issues. The job of an intelligent electorate is to chose the best candidate, not the perfect candidate.
