"Can Obama Get Reelected?"

"Lefties are also angry about Obama's other lies and betrayals: keeping Gitmo open, signing off on assassinations and even the torture of U.S. soldiers (PFC Bradley Manning), redefining U.S. troops in Iraq as "support personnel." Just this week he reneged on his promise to get rid of Bush's kangaroo courts and put 9/11 suspects on trial.

Everyone--left, middle and right--is furious about his Herbert Hoover-like lack of concern over the economy. While the multimillionaire president blithely talks about a recovery as he heads off to golf with his wealthy friends, unemployment is rising and becoming structural. Obama will surely pay for the disconnect between reality (no jobs, shrinking paychecks, hidden inflation) and the rosy rhetoric coming out of the White House and U.S. state media."

Things will be greatly different in 2012.

It is way early to predict right now but based on the current Republicans out there I am guessing Obama will be retained.
Then again if you had asked me 4 years ago, I would have never believed that McCain would be picked for the Republicans. Moderate New Hampshire as the first primary wields a lot more influence than both the TEA Party and the Left realizes.

Yes, unemployment is certainly rampant... They've only created 1.7 million private-sector jobs in the last 2 years, and brought the unemployment rate down a whole percentage-point, from 9.8 to 8.8, and it's still dropping... In fact, the sector that is losing the most jobs right now is the government sector...

You can thank the GOP for the shrinking paychecks. They OWN that one.

Given the lack of a Republican "bench" of candidates, other than the few looney-tunes teabaggers, Obama can probably win without working up too much of a sweat. The GOP has alienated Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and is working on a few others... As I've said before, just keep doing what you're doing!! It's too much to hope for.

I have mixed emotions. Obama has done a nothing to improve the country. Not because he is an evil guy, but rather because he has no idea how. The current group of reps who have announced don't excite me, but, if Obama is elected for another 4 yrs and follows his same blueprint he is on for the next 4 yrs, our financial picture as a country will be a whole lot worse. He has no intention of reducing govt. spending. Maybe Hillary will oppose him, and we will survive for 4 more yrs until we actually get a president who is willing to take on the hard issues. On the flip side, if we can win back the senate, keep the house, I wouldn't mind Obama as pres for 4 more yrs, instead of a weak rep in there. Then in 2016, when our new crop of reps who are governors now could run, win with no problem, and actually improve the country substantially. Christie/Ryan or Christie/Rubio ticket? The dems have nobody....

LJ, the government creates debt and taxes, starts wars with or without Congressional approval, it doesn't create jobs.

Good.. .That means you can stop blaming Obama for job-losses, doesn't it? How conveeeeenient that you can blame him when it's down from Bush's Recession, but his policies have nothing to do with it coming back up...

I'll remember that....

And you keep voting for those intent on bankrupting the nation, taking more of our rights, because its your team. Yeah team. :Cheer

You know,, you can do NOTHING about the past (bitch alot like some do) but you can help make the future, And right now without some sort of "we the people" intervention into government our future looks bleek.
