Further, I don't think our current president is the greatest example to illustrate your point. Has Obama seemed overly concerned about doing unpopular things during his stay in the White House? Do you think he would be less inclined to act in such a fashion if he knew he'd only have the job until 2012?
Look again at what you are saying. Would he be less inclined? Or more inclined? What's the big deal over a little less or a little more? He still doesn't belong there. What more would he be inclined to do in four years that would be worse than what he will do with eight? And since his presidency is already as sadistic as it is, where is your argument that a second term is important for enticing "popular actions"?

You said Imagine if the Obamination could only look forward to one term.

How would term limits impact his conduct? How do you think things would be better, in regards to our current president? You clearly think it would be an improvement, regarding this particular individual, b/c you wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise.

What have I missed here?

I guess what I should have said was "Imagine if we could look forward to only one term for the Obamination."

The way I see it, the prospect of another term does little to nothing to the behavior of an elected official who actually cares about the office. Of course it doesn't make that much difference for somebody with complete contempt for the office either. Obama is not going alter his behavior too much one way or the other if he couldn't look forward to a second term.

OK, thanks for the clarification. That makes sense. We're on the same page.

Listen, if it makes you feel any better, I think Obama will turn out to be a one-term president. He simply doesn't have much feel or concern for where the thoughts/priorities of the governed are.

The problem, however, is that I think the long-term damage is already done and will be next to impossible to undo. To his "credit," he promised change and, boy, has he delivered.

Do you then support term limits? How do you feel about removing party affiliation from voter registration?

Where do you see long term damage from Obama's term so far?

No, I don't support term limits and I've never really given the issue of stated/public party affiliation any consideration.

Insofar as our president, the real damage he's done has been the nationl debt he's accrued and the healthcare overhaul.
