"He was freely elected by the American people in 2008, and they confirmed their choice in 2012.........You don't seem to have much faith that America will reject "Obama with a facelift" (i.e. Alinsky devotee Hillary Clinton) in 2016, and I agree.

Obama promised change - but a rational person would have expected the change to be positive. And certainly not given him a second chance at the last elections.
