Dennis Kucinich: Dem Primary Challenge Would Make Obama ‘A Better President’

Two-time liberal Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich will not challenge President Obama in a primary. That said, the Ohio representative told CNN’s Piers Morgan on Tuesday night that Obama should have a challenge and that having one would make him a better candidate — and president. He said:
“So should President Obama have a challenge? I say he should. I think it would make him a better president if he received a Democratic challenge in the Democratic primary. Will I be that candidate? No.”
Watch for yourself, below:
The former Cleveland mayor and eight-term member of the House of Representatives has been a loud voice for the most liberal faction of the Democratic Party. In June, he sued the White House for unilateral action in Libya without a declaration of war from Congress.

We do not need any more thugs doing on the job training using their marxist socialist ideologies and hate against the American people. Enough is enuff. He not only MUST go, shudda been impeached long before now.

Posted on September 9, 2011 at 9:36pmI protested Dennis outside of his office in Lakewood, OH (Homosexual Paradise).
I had the largest sign out of everyone – calling Kucinich a traitor for supporting Obamacare after a ride on Air Force One, I protested with the liberals AND the conservatives (which were segregated, by the way, I wandered between both crowds).
I was the ONLY black person who was out there protesting that day. The local news covered it, but they made sure I didn’t appear on the news (despite my intentional loudness and the size of my sign), they couldn’t have their narrative destroyed by a big black guy protesting with all those white people…
I even had one older black guy roll by in his car and say “What the hell are you doing out here? What are you gonna do when you lose your job?” in regards to healthcare.
I didn’t have a chance to answer him, so if he’s reading this, here’s your answer…
I own my own business. I don’t work for someone else.
If I lose my job, it’s my fault, because I CREATED my job. I pay for my healthcare as it comes.
I don’t put any faith in insurance companies, insurance is a ponzi scheme.
I put my faith in YAHWEH.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 6:50pmDennis is blabbering at a ghost for a reason … To keep our eyes off the real fight.
The Socialist Party will be concentrating on the Senate.
They know, full well, Barry Soetoro is history.
If the Socialists maintain control over the Senate, nothing will change, and we’re stuck with the crap Barry, Harry & Nancy have shoved down our throats until the next election, when they can move the ball forward a little more.
This happens all the time in DC.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 6:42pmYes, thats real sound logic there buddy. For one the challenger would be no better than BHO. He wants the candidate to inspire BHO to become a better president because he lacks real motivation. So if there was a Dem challenger he would take his presidency more serious? Can’t argue with those sentiments.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 5:15pmI do believe Piers Morgan referred to Obama as a monkey when he used the reference “he should beat his chest a little and let the republicans know he is the president”. I wonder if the left is outraged at one of their own?

Dennis has either intentionally or mistakenly left something out. If Obama had a primary challenger he would no longer be the President. Even the Far Left Democrats are tired of Obama’s incompetence. He is really making them look bad.

Posted on September 7, 2011 at 4:16pmThe only thing that would make Obumbler a better president would be for him to RESIGN EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. Then we could just send Biden off to a corner to play with his coloring books and crayons until our new president takes office in 2013…..
