If Obama sees he's about to loose the 2012 election, do you think he'll suspend the election in a bid to stay in office?

  Longhunter, do you....I am not even sure how to ask this. Are you out of your mind? Do you not understand how things work? A President cannot suspend elections, and because some yeehaw on some university radio show suggests and idea, doesn't mean it is intended policy by the President. Wow man. Just...wow.

  I'm perfectly aware of how things work, Tex. I'm also well aware of the fact your president has stated he would like go around Congress. I wouldn't put anything past this moron although I don't think he has the stones to actually do it.
  
  Again, this was suggested by Governor Perdue of NC, a Democrat.

  Can you provide a citation showing that Governor Perdue suggested suspending the 2012 elections? That's hard to believe. This may be the citation you saw. Apparently whatever Gov. Perdue said was not intended to be a serious proposal, let alone an indication that President Obama plans to suspend any elections.

  If anything, they would suspend it to stop the outright theft that's going on.
  Walker, in Wisconsin, is cutting social programs, and giving the money to the Uber rich. He is taking public monies out of public schools and putting it into private ones.
  Gvr of Michigan fired elected officials and put his Republicorp cronies in. I don't think people realize what is going in here...
  
  They are GIVING America away! To rich corporations.
  Private prisons-for-profit...it will be private schools-for-profit....private healthcare for profit, you get the picture...

  Now, don't get too upset, Tex. I know damn good and well Obama isn't going to suspend the elections as he doesn't have the stones to do so.
  
  As for what went on in Wisconsin, I happen to support him in his dealings with unions. We just had the same fight here in Tennessee. As for giving money to the private schools as the person mentioned above, if the public ones didn't SUCK as bad as they do here, the people wouldn't be doing things like begging for vouchers to send their kids to the private schools.

  As far as I'm concerned, the NEA needs to be closed down as well as all teachers unions. If you want good teachers, they should have to prove themselves individually. A good teacher should be able to get the best pay he/she can due to their abilities in the classroom and shouldn't be drug down by the bad teacher down the hall who should really be fired. Collective bargaining has no place in schools. It hurts the schools as a whole but, more importantly, it hurts the students.
  
  Believe me, I've been through this with a burned out teacher my daughter had in the first grade. I and several other parents tried to get rid of her but the union stopped it. She retired a couple of years later but the damage was done. My daughter struggled the next year, had to be held back, and we put her in a private school when we moved so she could get more one on one attention.

  Nah man, I'll buy that teachers unions are pointless. Unions are supposed to have some power to protect their members, which the teachers union doesn't. Instead, it just harbors burnouts and flat out bad teachers in the guise of keeping their employment after violations. I hate that education is the first thing cut from the state budgets. I despise it. If the union could protect the teachers from always being the first to get fired, then I would consider it worthy. It doesn't though. Maybe elimination would get better teachers somehow, even though it doesn't make sense how it would. I don't know. They should be like professors, who get paid well, and are held very accountable even with tenure. When they get shredded in a peer review, it counts quite a bit. Who reviews the high school teacher? The principal? I have friends who are principals and assistance principles, and they can't get out of their offices because so many parents ignore their children at home and then get ticked when they fail a class. I'd love to be a teacher, but there is no way I am dealing with little jerk kids and their attitudes given to them by their parents about how perfect and smart they are, when they can't tie their shoes, or the school board populated with ideologues who could care less about the matter of education.

I wish an electable Republican Candidate would and could win in 2012. The fact is no electable Republican wanted the job since Bush left the country in such a mess. President Obama is too much man to QUIT and would not suspend the election to keep it. I think that would be the first time a president did anything like that in history. There has been many first time things that has happen to this President, but I don't think he wants to be the first President to suspend the election to stay if the people vote him out.

Most people who don't have picture ID's, don't have them because of money. These people statistically would be more apt to vote democrat. Ohio is trying to restructure their districts which in the end would favor the GOP. All of these measures are being implemented by republican legislatures.

  Did I say how much I hate these political forums? Doesn't anybody get the fact that both sides are full of corruption? Depending on who is in the majority, who gets heard, who has more backing, more pundits, more radio time (really?) more big corps behind them? We live in a non facto, non representationo, non moralo, society where you need one of three things to get anywhere: a truckload of money, a non white heritage, or a seat in Congress.
  
  Personally, I hope Cain (you know, that other black man) wins. Then we won't have to listen to anymore of this racist, bigoted, poor me, poor man crap. Oh, wait, there's always the Uncle Tom card. They haven't played that one in a while.

  Danny - with respect, the bit about most people who don't have picture IDs don't have them because of money is probably not true. State issued picture IDs can be had for a few dollars. Seniors in some states get them free. An old driver's license will suffice.
  
  I think in today's climate, picture IDs should be required. I never understood why they haven't been all along. Anyone can say they are me and vote in my place. So what you're saying is that the majority of the 'poor' who can't even afford a few dollars for a state issued ID, who will probably vote Democratic, are part of a Republican plot to keep them out. There are very few, even poor, who do not drive today. Use your driver's license and stop believing everything your 'friends' tell you.

  FINALLY!!! An intelligent answer!!!
  
  This was being discussed on the radio because Governor Perdue of NC, a Democrat, suggested the 2012 elections be suspended. I decided to post it as a forum and suddenly I'm a racist Obama hater.
  
  Thank you, ahorseback, for an intelligent answer that wasn't filled with insults!!!

This question makes me laugh because my grandfather was absolutely convinced Bush was going to try this in '08. What goes around comes around, I guess.

Well, that was my reason for the rifle comment, I thought you knew that, Longhunter. When I was in my early twenties I was full of hate for political reasons, life in America is political. One day while i was watching tv the words HATE HURTS YOU came across the screen. It was like a profound revelation and I was just starting my family. I stop the hate and learned to intergrate and manipilate to take of my family. Every few month I will find a way to put those three words up on line. You are not out of order, it takes all kind of people to make a world and all kinds of writers to make a hubpage.

  Nope, just posting a question after the Dem governor of NC opened her mouth and spilled the beans about what they may have planned for our future.

Yes. Obama will suspend elections. He is an evil mustache twirling evil alien born in the fiery pits of hell after all. And hell doesn't give birth certificates. So naturally, this is what he will do.

I'm liking all the intelligent discussions we've got here on Hubpages. You guys really make me feel like the smartest human being alive. But I don't know whether to smile, or frown over the fact that such are my peers.

I guess I'll do both.

  Mortimer, Your 'holier than thou" attitude leaves a lot to be desired when it was someone from your side that brought the subject up. I just posted it here on HP for discussion.
  
  Perhaps you should do a Google search for Governor Perdue's remarks then check your smartass attitude at the door.

If suspending the elections were possible it would have been done by now.

Agree with you there, LH. There is something about Romney that I don't like either. Maybe I'd like him more if I got to know him and what he really stands for.

  I don't think Obama has the stones to suspend the elections and I agree, if he were going to do it, he would have done so.
  
  I posted the forum knowing it would get the more liberal among us going, most of them not even realizing it was one of their own that got the whole thing going.

  I am really not on my game words-wise tonight, LH .
  I meant that if suspending elections were an option, other sitting presidents would have done it to keep themselves in power.
  
  Remember, Obama is on record as saying he is fine with being a one-term president.
  I'll have to find the link on that one. But I know he has said it.

I think it would be more fitting for him to abolish the constitution. As our moral leader he must be freed from the constrictions of this antiquated document that stands in the way of of his true goal to socialize America.

To propose that Obama may suspend elections is a ridiculous statement.

It mirrors the same, nonsensical badgerings of the birthers, the Obama is a secret Muslim/anti-American/Manchurian candidate ideations that so many in the Republican party became fixated on.

As a Republican among a large family of Republicans spread across the length and breadth of this nation, the same stupid chain emails passed around.

Fear-mongering, especially to this degree, diminishes our political discourse and, in my opinion, goes against the point of intellectual pursuit at all in our process of selecting who carries the reigns of governance in this nation.

Know-nothing Cain and "I don't know what I'm for or when I was for it" Romney make a sorry state for the Republican candidacy for office..

Floundering and flubbering Perry is finding the Texas Two-Step was demolished by Bush, and the nation will not stand a clone..

Ron Paul will never be selected, for the minority clique that controls the Republican party would stand to lose, and those who believe that their religions need to permeate our secular society can't stand his social views..

What worries me about Michelle Bauchman is that she's not on drugs or alcohol. She has no rational excuse for how brainless she is...

At least the Grand Old Party was spared the added slap in the face that a Palin presidential run would have brought. I'd have to count this run for a presidential candidate to be some of the cheapest and unskilled performances I've ever seen, but at least it didn't go as low as it could have... But enough of us knew that she was just in this for the money and fame for her to keep from humiliating herself further...

The increasingly fringe mind of the Republican party has driven out Republicans like myself, and many others in my family. It's not that we are no longer viewing membership to the GOP, but it is as though the party has moved to a place that we cannot follow, and the party's leadership has it's head so far up its collective rectum that they fail to see the writing on the wall...

They have run the real party into the ground by isolating the majority of its mainstream constituents... It will be the party's loss.

I don't think there's any chance of him suspending the election. People just like to think the worst of some people, which is where these rumours come from. Much like the constant obsession of whether he's american of not, which wouldn't have ever been as issue if he was white.
