If you’re not already tracking & researching candidates for the next Presidential Election; you’re LATE. Or least that is the way I see it..This is a brief list of the folks I feel are going to attempt to become the next POTUS.
HILLARY CLINTON..No doubt in my mind Hillary is going to make a run for it..She knows she had a HUGE following of women when she last ran..Her ego was far too big to accept an invite to become V.P. by President Obama..Hillary longs to BE the POTUS..She was the backbone behind Bill when he was in office; and she won’t stop until she tries one more time to be the ‘Head Mofo in Charge’. Mark my words she IS going to run in 2016>>
JOE BIDEN..Old as he is; Joe might decide to take the plunge one more time for old times sake! I don’t think he stands a chance; but I also never anticipated the 3 ring-circus that landed Bush in the White House either..Just hope folks are paying more attention these days. *sigh*>>
CORY BOOKER..His speech at the DNC wasn’t as awesome as when Obama blew the world’s socks off with his; BUT he IS gaining attention & recognition..Don’t count him out; regardless of whether he says he isn’t going to run or not. He WILL run soon..More than likely he’ll test the waters in 2016>>
ELIZABETH WARREN..She just might want it after a taste of being in the spotlight..Her work on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is no small achievement..Not sure if its enough to call for a run for the White House though..But there is a remote possibility..I’ve seen stranger things happen in recent years regarding our Presidential Elections! >>
ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA..I think he likes the idea of being the 1st Latino President..Even though he isn’t yet saying he’ll run; I think he will. Anyone want to bet on IT?>>
DEVAL PATRICK..Another one that says he won’t run in 2016..Close friend of Obama & I personally think he WILL run..Many folks have said they wouldn’t run; ended up running for past presidential elections..Time will tell</strong>>>
ANDREW CUOMO..Might be a long shot; but I think he will run…His chances are weak in my opinion…But I said that about the last Bush that ran. Twice! So who knows..>>
MICHELLE OBAMA..Personally? I think she is too far devoted to Motherhood to run..BUT I’d LOVE to see her make a run for it..How awesome to see her win on the heels of her husband’s double terms! Little chance she’ll run though; but I’m a dreamer…>>
Y’all ready for 2016 Presidential Election yet?
Berna's Vibe~The Way I See IT.... 
I’m such a Michelle Obama fan, more so than Obama. I think she’s just fabulous: beautiful, intelligent, nurturing, inspiring …! She’s not gonna run; she can do so much more without fighting policy in the White House.

Well, you listed the Democrats hopefuls. I hope this is all it is. Personally, I’ve had enough of eight years of the Democrats. Obama care is coming. I wonder how many people are going to be happy with paying this mandated bill aganist the constitution. This bill will still leave thousands upon thousands without insurance. Socialism is alive and well in this country. Who knew? I think George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would turn over in their graves a couple of times.
I want my country back. I’m ready to kick out every single Congressman. As far as Hillary Clinton, “What difference does it make?” She is an avid socialist if one listens to her comments. I know most people on this site probably won’t agree with me, but we are all Americans. This is a country of diversity. I never thought I’d see the day when Christians are considered terrorists. Yes, I gladly stand up and say, “I’m a child of God and I’m a Christian.”

One question first..And I say this with all due respect my friend..Because I’ve grown to HATE that comment @ I want my country back. Want it back from what??? I can’t agree with anything you’ve said in this post..And yep, thats a first. I won’t even begin to tackle the points I don’t agree with. Its ALL of the points you made. I totally disagree…and I’m rather surprised, sadly so, that we are so far apart in our opinions on this topic. But it happens…Doesn’t mean we can’t once agree and be in alignment on other topics. But this is probably a topic we shouldn’t try to converse on. And I’m a child of God also..But I also believe in whats best for majority of people. I don’t buy into media hype or things that are rumored about nor points that haven’t been researched and read…Many folks speaking against Obamacare? Have NO clue how much it will be good for them. That is sad..From my Senior citizen triple retired parents down to my youngest 20 yr old son; and everyone in between I know and love WILL benefit from Obamacare. That , my friend, I can assure you from coast to coast & stretching overseas is alot of people

Hello my dear Christian sister.
Great Biblical scholars do not agree on the interpretation of the Bible. I am a Tea Party member and active in it. Yes, take back my crounty from those who are tampering with the constitution. Take back my country from the unions. Take back my country from the environmentalists. As far as Obama care, I guess we’ll see what happens a year from now. The problem I have is the reduction of full time hours from forty to thirty-two hours. When my husband worked and I worked, we needed every hour we worked of pay. Yes, the government has taken money from the medicare and Social Security.Why isn’t it the Congress are not going to accept Obama care? Why is it our President doesn’t accept his own plan?
I respectfully disagree with you. However, this one thing I know is Jesus is coming. We who are alive will meet Him. Will politics make any difference when we go to Heaven? No. We’ll be too busy singing praises to the our Lord and Saviour.
This will be the last time, I will comment about politics on your blog. Whatever other subjects you discuss I”ll be glad to talk about. Maybe, you might take a look at what I wrote about how Muslims are killing Christians. I picked up a book about a dear Pakistan Chrsitan who is convicted of Blasphemy. She wrote the book along with a French journalist and sits in a dungeon awaiting her hanging for the past four years. The book is the only way her family makes any money because they are hiding. If you don’t read my blog, please look up this book on Amazon. I was brought to tears as I read her words.
Take care. In Christian love and respect. Sharon

@Yes, the government has taken money from the medicare and Social Security.Why isn’t it the Congress are not going to accept Obama care? Why is it our President doesn’t accept his own plan?…<>When you say the government has taken from medicare & social security..Do you realize that began LONG before President Obama came into office? You say you’ve had enough of 8 years of a Democrat sitting as President, right? But I’m curious if you realize the very things you’re unhappy with; are the direct result of BUSH having mucked things up so badly for Americans..To the question about Congress not accepting Obamacare? I think even an alien looking down upon the mess called American society can answer that question..I’ll let you figure that puzzle out because honestly? I could go on & on & on about the reason. And there is only ONE reason. As for your question about why doesn’t our POTUS accept his own plan? That makes no sense to me..Must be something the Tea Party is putting in the tea to make you even ask such a thing..What you might now know…Obamacare was fiddled with & thinned DOWN just to get passed. That was not because our POTUS wanted that to happen..It was the only way the ridiculous folks resisting what was BEST for Americans ; would pass it. So YOU and yours will get a thin version of government health care that the SAME folks who voted against it already HAVE..Does that sound right to you? Because if it does than we can’t make a connection in this dialogue..It will never sound right to me; because it isn’t right. It isn’t right for you nor me nor anyone of our loved ones nor any American citizen…I won’t touch the topic you’re bringing into this dialogue about Muslims & Christians…It is simply not relevant to this line of dialogue.

That is a bet you’d lose..I don’t often speak in place of others; but I can assure you Jueseppi HAS read Obamacare from page to page. He has also posted it constantly & consistently on his blog site..Let me tell you why your responses are very problematic..
You’re speaking from a position that is VERY offensive from the get-go. The verbage you used from the onset instantly gave me chills..Scary to think folks can talk & get along so well; yet NOT know they can think so differently. You stated@ You wanted your country back. I asked@From what? Those are very dangerous words..And they do NOT mean what you said they mean..Or better yet they’ve got a very, very dark underlying message. A message that really is quite transparent..And that is the message that Jueseppi responded to. I care less if you have a cazillion Black friends who didn’t vote for Obama or feel as you do…There are FAR more who did vote for him and wouldn’t be caught DEAD near a Tea Party gathering…I’m sorry but I’ve never heard from a Tea Party member who wasn’t totally speaking gibberish and craziness..Not a ONE. I desire this topic, as any other, on my blog to be one of open & honest dialogue. I also don’t want the important MESSAGE to be missed because of choice of verbage or language. I’m in complete alignment with Obamacrats’/Jueseppi’s viewpoints…I’m an unapologetic Obama supporter…And one more thing & I don’t know why you keep repeating myth & not facts. Obamacare was NOT changed because our POTUS wanted it to change. PERIOD. It was changed, thinned down, because your cronies would not pass it otherwise. Exclamation mark. I recall when President Obama said even IF it killed him he was going to get Obamacare passed & give all Americans a chance to get health care. I don’t know any other President in my lifetime whose ever used that verbage about anything. I’ll part with this last comment. It is a quote by Malcolm X…”If you have no critics; you likely have no success”

Then a very great deal of us..Not in all ways; but in some ways..For instance I won’t even entertain the thought of marrying a White man..Ever..And I’ve met some really cool White guys; who btw accuse me of discriminating because I won’t date White..My response? They’re absolutely right..It is a preference & one that I will never veer from. It is an acquired taste..No different than someone who likes a certain wine or will only date blondes..etc etc..I just hate when folks whip their Black or White friends out in a conversation to prove they’re not racist! As IF..My very best friend is White & we’ve been friends for 30 years and if she would EVER use that line @ Well my best friend is Black so I’m not racist..I’d be hurt! Because it would mean I was a token friend..Anyways I’m rambling now & way off topic…I say all of this to say do I feel people who say racist things are racist? Yep, I do.

For me, he is my super hero. He cares about what is going to take place when Obama care comes in. My husband was figuring out what it would have cost us. This national insurance would cost us twice as much as we ever paid. Besides this Obama and his cronies took millions out of medicare which he had no business doing. When Americans reach 70 if they need surgery they have to go before a death squad. Most of the politicians in D.C. are communists whether they be Democrats or Republicans.
I hate to see desire my country crumble before my eyes.
i know this is controversial, but I needed to say it. Obama care, Common Core are nothing but communistic. I feel sorry for my child oren and grand children that is if we survive.
