Something happened 38 years ago that puts more attention on the
President’s reelection efforts. The White House now is
preoccupied with Presidential primaries.
Primaries were unknown until Oregon started the first one in
1910. Support for them wavered during the next 60 years. Then,
in the 1968 Democratic Convention the Kennedy delegates
wanted more primaries. Now 35 states have them.
In the early 1970s, because of Watergate, election reform laws
appeared. They compelled the President and his staff to be
concerned about primaries. Campaign money had to be raised by
small contributions from many.
Presidential candidates had to make impressive early showings to
obtain the needed financial support from thousands of small
contributions and to qualify for additional campaign funds from the
federal government. While these reforms may have resulted in a
more open selection of candidates, they put increased importance
on primaries.
The President and his staff now turn their attention for
almost two years to reelection.
Many people in searching for 6 year presidential term may use, Six year term, 6-
year term, 6year term, and Second term, or even 2nd term. It doesn’t matter as
long as they are seeking the wasted effort used in Campaigning to become a Lame
duck president rather than a One term president. That Presidential race keeps
Obama, the Leader of the Free World, on the Campaign trail, with his attention on
the Election polls for 2012, or as they are called the 2012 election polls, rather
than on Goddafi, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, and the Arab world.
Of course Palestine and Israel also need his attention, as does the recent Israeli-
Palestinian negotiations, and the Hamas involvement.
