I can see Obama being a two-term President as long as the healthcare bill doesn't get dismantled.
Hell, even if it is, he can just say the Repubs don't want you to be healthy, or something.
It is possible Obama will try and rebrand himself, he has even hired new people from the business community to try and make himself "look" like he has stopped attacking business but at the end of the day all the wackos he has appointed at places like the EPA will keep the pressure against him and make it highly unlikely he can get elected to office again unless he moves with the Republicans in a very obvious way to fix things like this messy Obamacare garbage.
Obamacare does nothing to actually reduce cost of medical care, at best it simply attempts to spread the cost to more people to pay for it. The American people want the cost reduced, and there are very easy ways to reduce the cost of medical care that cost the Federal Government almost nothing. Everyone in America has seen a large increase in their insurance policies because of Obamacare. The mandate to keep young adults on their parent's insurance policies is a huge cost to the insurance companies and someone has to pay for that cost as one example.
On topic, humans have always been violent, we have killed each other for about any reason you can imagine. Some people try to give excuses for their behavior but at the end of the day the true reason is they are broken, something in them does not work right and they do horrible things. This guy in this incident was certainly not a Palin or Rush supporter, it is not like anyone can show he ever even heard a single speech by Sarah Palin. Those trying to say it was driven by anything said by Conservative speakers are simply trying to use this horrible incident to push their progressive agenda. If they can cast a shadow on Palin and the rest of the Conservatives and shut them down, they will have an easier time transforming America into the daycare center they wish it to be.
Even after this shooting and the claims of progressives that it was "political rhetoric" from the Conservatives that caused the shooting, we see more examples of the same not from a Republican but from a Democrat:
During a comment about repealing Obamacare, Steve Cohen (D) compared the comments from Republicans to the propaganda from Nazi Germany that came before the Holocaust.
"They say it's a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like (Nazi propagandist Joseph) Goebbels."
So here we have another Progressive painting Republicans as being similar to "Nazis" there is your hostile "political rhetoric" at it's source, even the ADL cam out against this guy and said "We hope he will reconsider his offensive statement and we urge all members of Congress to reject such odious comparisons".
