Four more years and Yes he can. He got 303 electoral votes, 33 more than required. Come 2016, it may be Hillary Clinton's turn. Hope she will contest and win to become the first women president for that country.

I also would like or have liked Colin Powell or Condaleeza Rice in the candidacy. John McCain was great until he brought the nutty fruit cake, Sarah Palin into the fray.

Let's see how the future (next 4yrs) unfolds; generally in a 2nd term as seen in the past, shows a more aggressive side of the president.
By 16, Hilary Clinton will probably be too old to contest.

Hmm... Time for socialists to rejoice. The guy who is bent on destroying USA is back in saddle for next four years. I think his reelection will go down in history as most historic turning point for USA and the world. Obama must have been schooled by MMS/Kangress. He absolutely co-opted minorities and that is what won him the election. Henceforth, instead of famous line "It is economy, stupid" the line will be "It is demography , stupid". Another lesson that Obama learnt from Kangress is that you can ALWAYS win election if you know how to play with other people's money. Tax productive class, distribute it to lazy morons, promise write off (like student loans) of loans, borrow (because he does not have to repay- future generations will) and spend.
Wait till Greece experience is repeated in USA

Obama care will move healthcare in USA more towards canadian healthcare system - more wait times, doctor shortages and higher insurance premiums for healthy people to subsidize older/unhealthy people
Obama will also replace the secular Syrian government with Sunni extremists allied with Jihadis from Al-qaeda like he successfully did in Libya.

Healthcare infrastructure ( dr, tech, hospital, services) is very good. Obamacare is neither replacing employer base healthcare and nor it's free. But Obamacare making it's affordable for pre-existing condition, taking away life time limit and you can add up to 26 year old kids when they are in college. Medicaid program is going to expand for poor people to cover more people.

If Obamacare was that simple and good, there would not have been much resistance and criticism.
If any law can make pre- existing condition affordable, whole world would have accepted that. Obamacare, primarily, is a way to destroy USA economy. However, the disaster would strike a few years hence. By that time Obama would be enjoying his sunset on a beach witha glass of beer while the future generations would pay monetarily and the present generation with a dismal service like we do in Canada. It is truly unfortunate that most of us do not understand or appreciate the unfairness and cruelty associated with socialized medicine. I had a friend in Canada who died of cancer. I learnt certain horrible truth about Canadian healthcare. First thing that I learnt was that Chemotherapy is NOT free. If one is not covered by insurance, which he was not, then his family is ruined financially. Second when some NGO or charity extend help, one does not get the best drugs as these drugs are costly. What you get is drugs which are outdated by 5 years. Please read about death panels of Liverpool care in UK by googling it. Problem with socialized healthcare is tremendous waste of money and resources. I would like to ask one simple question. Do you know what is the cost of blood test in Canada?. When the care id "free", we are lulled in to complacency while the blood testing lab and the politicians and bureaucrats benefit out of our "free" test, the cost of which is billed via taxes. And bloody we have to wait for 3 hours in line for a blood test and wait 10 days for the result and then go to the family doctor for copy of the results. I know some of you would jump on me for the above. But I would like to clarify that there has been enough debate on CD about the subject.
Also Obamacare was not the result Obama won. It was Kangress style (India)of politics that
Obama whole heartedly adopted which won him victory. Kangress rascals in India have provided a simple formula to the world. Distribute (or rather make a drama of distributing) to majority by taking from lesser number of people, pander minorities, encourage illegal immigration by minorities, pander trade unions and keep Govt. employees happy by raising their salary and expanding bureaucracy. Indira with her dirty mind introduced this in 1971 and look at the poverty levels in India today. Obama would have same delirious effect on USA. Fortunately, I would not be alive after 40 years but my kids and grandchildren would be. They would pay and curse me. Obama was absolute failure in first 4 years and if you try the same formula, you cannot expecta different result.
