Obama, of course, is hardly a shoo-in for 2012

Not a shoo-in? After last night's speech there seems to be no need for the formality of an election. The man should be our dear leader for life and happiness and prosperity will surely follow. Or, maybe not.

“Obama’s message was inherently upbeat, optimistic, and future-oriented”

Why not? Dear Leader’s agenda of driving America, the dollar and the economy into the tank is right on track-it’s all going according to plan.

The Kenyan is going to have to produce a birth certificate. That could be a problem.

How do you beat a fake?

With someone real?

Or someone equally fake?

Serious questions that need to be answered.

I agree with you, but if you've got it in your head that Sara Palin would somehow be the one to knock off Obama, it's because you are making the mistake of bestowing your own political beliefs on the independents and the Rockafellers. Given a conservative VP candidate, the right will vote for whatever Republican candidate Fox News awards us. Candidates need money more than anything to win independents, and that includes national recognition. I'm guessing that the best we can hope for is a team like Gingrich-Rubio. And it will be Rubio, no matter who gets the Presidential nomination.

Aframs, who have been hurt the most by Obamanomics, will still vote for him at about the same rate as they did in 2008. Not even another four disastrous years, which would be likely, would turn them from The Anointed One. However, Obama is going to get hurt bad by the loss of indys. The gigantic debt burden and the lack of jobs is going to turn many indys towards a legitimate Pubbie. Nevertheless, whoever the Pubbie is, he or she will still have to make a very good argument. But even if he wins, there’s no way he’ll have a seven million vote margin. I’m betting on a Pubbie as of now.

especially if Americans believe the economy is improving.

key word in the whole article. If the media/administration can make the public believe the economy is getting better...as opposed to the economy actually improving.

“Obama’s message was inherently upbeat, optimistic, and future-oriented, while Ryan was left warning that our best days may be behind us and that Americans are being lulled into ‘lives of complacency and dependency.’ Plenty of commentators noticed that Obama, at least stylistically, seemed to be channeling Ronald Reagan”

Here’s the difference, though. Reagan actually made things better, and people trusted him. Obama can be as sunshiny as Strawberry Shortcake, but if people don’t think things are getting better, and if they don’t trust Obama’s policies, he’ll just look out of touch.

So gimme the Readers Digest version: does this asswipe columnist, writing for that MASSIVELY popular POS “Salon” think Republicans should just roll over and piss themselves in submission to Hussein?

HE might do that. We won’t.

This whole charade has been an exercise in misdirection, as this screed illustrates. While obama's Reagan imitation will fade quickly enough, the regulatory onslaught against the American people will continue unabated.

By 2012 the people will be so fed up with tax increases, medical rationing, "Carbon" footstepping on their necks, that the economy will become a background variable: ie, a bad economy will help sink him, but a good economy won't save him. See Algore2000 for precedent.

That is, it will if the republicans are smart enough to point out all the evil crap going on under the surface that wasn't even mentioned last night.

Um, yes. Bambi is a liar, he is a talker. He speaks of decent rational things, and then physically does the most leftist thing he can, all while trying to fool us into believing he is moderate. He is a dispicable human, and that’s about the nicest thing I can say about him, really.
