obama was down on the mat after the elections,
but the pubies picked him up with legislation.
My fear is that the GOP candidates will do a great job knocking themselves off in the Primary. Unless his excellency gets a decent threat in a primary battle, he will probably be successful as the GOP does its suicide act.
My fear about the GOP is based on most of those clowns running seem to want the Presidency as a scalp on their list of accomplishments. We need someone who sees the need to save the country and wishes to put this service above their personal gratification. There are a few with that mark that come to mind: Newt (forbid it he wins as he is off the reservation); Paul; Ryan; Palen; amongst a few others. Chief among the grandstanders is Romney IMO.
