Could a 77-year-old man defeat Obama?

[Amelia]

I contend that America is age-ist.

I don't think a 77-year-old man could defeat Obama no matter how good his message was -- no matter how perfectly progressive, or how perfectly conservative, or how perfectly he threaded the needle for independents.

Do you?

Ron Paul couldn't win at 55 cause he's a fruitcake.

The squirrel in my front yard could beat Obama.

The election is ours to lose.

Does the constitution require the President to be human? That's the real question.

Obama is human? Lol

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Welll ... IF the president is a person, that person must be at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen, yada yada.

But I don't see where it says that the president has to be a person.

Ron Paul polls even within the margin of error with Barack Obama.

I disagree. I think a rock could beat Obama in a head to head election.

Sure...Just make sure the vice president is healthy and young.

I doubt that's really necessarily. Rocks can't die.

I believe that Obama is a lot stronger than he looks. He will be very difficult to unseat. The power of incumbency, his ability to read the teleprompter, and his overall likeability, make him a formidable opponent. I caution conservatives to not get overconfident.

I like our odds, but I don't like overconfidence! Stay thirsty my friends!

Sound advice - and very true.

You have that back wards, I know your guilty of this in numerous instances...

Wait. Can a corporation become President?

I doubt any would want the job. Anyone who does should be admired just for the pure bullshit they go through. Of course I don't equate admiration with ability, but still.

I see.

Well, I'm intrigued by your "Squirrel in your yard" 2012 idea. His soaring rhetoric about storing nuts for the winter has awakened me to the need to invest in America's future by cutting spending and focusing on infrastructure repair and investment.

Probably, if you ask our Supreme Court.

In a golf game perhaps.

FORE!

You're right - I do have it backwards. But I am not guilty of doing it repeatedly. If you think I am, then show me where I've done it before. Otherwise, you're just talking.
