What would it be like if Obama was not qualified to be reelected?

Assuming that you support the President and believe that he did a good job, I have a question for you. Can you describe for me what an alternate world would look like that is exactly like this one but with one difference -- that being Obama is not qualified to be reelected ? How would such a world differ from the one we live in now?

edit: Realized this is not another birther thread. Still senseless, just not wacko senseless.

I'm sorry I can't imagine any kind of bizarre world where someone who was born in the United States and is over the age of 35 is not eligible to be president.

We would still be up to our asses in alligators in Iraq, Osama Bin Laden would still be alive, and the economy would be much worse than it is now.
 
Imagine a world where Obama is a robot made of lions, and Romney is a bowl of pudding. Or a world where hamburgers are currency and everyone wears spats! Imagination is fun.

I don't think that's what he means. I think he's trying to say that things generally suck, and that that is a sign that Obama is incompetent.

The election campain across the pound would be even more annoying but the republicans would probably have a candidate who was at least vaugely credible.

On the plus side if the end of the bush's second term is anything to go by we might get a decent war to watch.

What do you mean, "if"? :P

It would look exactly like this world. We elect unqualified people to the presidency all the time.

Oh, I know that. But this is the politics sub-forum. The Paranormal sub-forum is thataway.

Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are currently barred from the presidency. It's always hard to tell with Bill, but that may be what he means by not qualified.

Once again, the conservative, sandwich heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor!
 
I'm a picturing a world where we can divide by 0 and there is a true blue/yellow color in all the rainbows. Also gravity works in reverse.

I would expect to see a huge push to repeal Obamacare, including the good parts, like preventing insurance companies from denying people based on pre-existing conditions. Fun fact: this directly affects me, I've tried over and over and over again this year to buy private insurance, and I'm uninsurable due to my pre-existing condition.

I have absolutely no confidence that a Romney presidency would serve any tangible benefit to the LGBT community. We saw Obama push the DADT repeal, light a fire under DOMA, fight for the rights of LGBT immigrants and refugees, appoint LGBT people to important positions like judgeships, explictly extending Obamacare benefits to same-gender partners, etc. Our Republicans in Congress have done exactly NOTHING but repeated harm LGBT people, demonize, and denigrate them. I strongly believe a Romney presidency is going to halt or roll back advances for LGBT people. Another fun fact: I'm directly affected, as are many straight allies who support LGBT rights.

I expect a Romney presidency to resist raising taxes due to his political ideology, even against the recommendations of the non-partisan CBO. I think we'll see an economic policy which re-invents trickle-down economics, providing no tangible benefits to the middle-, lower-, and under-classes. Somewhere between the "why won't Obama create more jobs!" and "government never creates jobs!" rhetoric, I don't think Romney's policies are going to address unemployment in the country.

I expect a Romney presidency to make strong arguments against illegal immigration which, to the trained ear, sound no different from arguments against legal immigration.

I don't expect a Romney presidency to do squat about excess energy consumption or industries which contribute to climate change.

You mean when Hillary is elected POTUS in 2016?

But Romney said he wanted to keep the good parts of Obamacare.
 
He also said he would repeal it, with no qualifiers.

Romney is like the bible in that you can pull out whatever message you like.
 
If Obama is reelected, then he will not be eligible to serve another term as president starting January 2017. We may find out soon enough what that alternate world will look like.
