There’s little chance that Ron Paul will ever be elected president, although if I were to vote right now, he would be my choice. As far as Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann are concerned, both of whom are Bible-freaks, I truly believe that if either of them are elected it would be time to get outta Dodge – as the saying goes. Then there’s Romney, the moron (I mean Mormon) who will probably be the Republican nominee. Simply put, he’s an asshole. As for Barack Obama, I must admit I’m disappointed. He ran on the promise of CHANGE, and quite frankly I see no change, just more of the same mess that George W. Bush left behind; more bank bailouts, more unemployment and more foreclosures…What’s worse, there’s little if any indication that the economy will turn around anytime soon.
The bottom line is that if one analyzes the situation objectively, I don’t believe it makes one bit of difference who’s president. I know, I know, we all get caught in the hoopla and media frenzy, but in reality it really doesn’t matter who’s in the White House. This country is governed by forces beyond the presidency, forces the American people have no influence over. TGO

President Barack Obama is virtually tied in potential re-election match-ups with four Republican presidential candidates in a new Gallup survey.
Among registered voters, the president leads Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann by 4 percentage points and Texas Rep. Ron Paul by 2 points. He is tied with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and trails former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by 2 points. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Republicans most strongly favor Perry and Romney in a race against Obama, with 92 and 91 percent saying they would vote for those two candidates. But only 86 percent of Republicans say they would vote for Bachmann, and only 82 percent say they would vote for Paul. Independents also favor Romney, Perry and Paul against Obama, but slightly favor the president when he’s matched against Bachmann. The president’s approval rating continues to hover around 40 percent–a dangerously low total, according to Gallup’s calculations.
“This is below the rating that any of the six incumbent presidents re-elected since Eisenhower has had at the time of the presidential election,” Gallup writes.
But Obama has more than a year before his re-election race. Gallup notes that in August of the year prior to their re-election campaigns, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton were each below the 50 percent approval mark.
Additionally, the candidates in the Republican field have yet to capture many voters’ attention. “More Americans at the moment say they would vote for Obama than approve of the job he is doing–perhaps a reflection of the continuing lack of a strong front-runner on the Republican side,” Gallup writes.
