President Obama is taking heat from his Republican rivals and some members of his own party for being vague about his agenda for a second term.
On Thursday, Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan told a crowd at a campaign event in Florida that Obama “is not telling you what his second-term plan would be.”
“He’s not saying that he is offering anything new,” the Wisconsin lawmaker said during a town hall. “All he is offering is four more years of the same.”
Republicans are using the critique to parry Democratic attacks against Romney’s tax-reform plan, but they aren’t the only ones questioning what Obama’s priorities would be on Day One of term two.
“What would make my heart leap is to see him offer a forward-looking speech that encompasses all the things that he’s been talking about in little bits into a big thematic package, and one, big, second-term-agenda speech,” said Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons.

“What would make my heart leap is to see him offer a forward-looking speech that encompasses all the things that he’s been talking about in little bits into a big thematic package, and one, big, second-term-agenda speech,” – Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons
Don’t hold your breath Jamal.
All the “little bits” of illusion just add up to one big thematic nightmare.
What would make my heart leap is to see him in an orange jumpsuit for all his crimes against the American people, beginning with his eligibility charade, through to his responsibility for the deaths of our citizens in Benghazi, and everything in between.
Obama wants desperately to be re-elected and as such he cannot tell the American people what his true plans for America will be. Paul Ryan said, “he will offer the same for another four years”. I strongly disagree, the next four years will be a total and complete nightmare.
Obama will have free rein to do what he wants, when he wants, which is pretty much what he has done in his first four years, but he did have some constraints, while in his next four years should he remain in power, there will be no constraints on him, and all heck will break loose.
He will destroy America’s missile shield to appease the Russian’s, he will further drift away in supporting Israel, and the true Arab Muslim will surface as he welcomes many more key Muslim Brotherhood members into his twisted and dysfunctional Administration. Sharia law will become the law of the land and Congress will be no more.
That my friends is why I disagreed with Congressman Paul Ryan’s statement, things will absolutely not be anywhere near the same as they were having him lead America over a fiscal cliff, there is no more money for him to do so. On November 6th, if Obama remains in-power, America will be destroyed forever, and all those folks in Ohio that will vote for him because of Obama’s free phones, will find themselves out on the street as well, all by their own doing.
