WASHINGTON – Six months after Republicans alarmed Democrats with a midterm election wave, President Barack Obama has shaken off the jitters and found his political footing despite sluggish economic growth and deep public anxiety about the direction of the country.
The White House now displays an air of confidence, bolstered in part by achievements such as the killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. commandos and the financial success of an auto industry that Obama bailed out over the objections of many.
Obama is also benefiting from the absence of negatives. The economy, while lethargic, is growing. The private sector is creating jobs. Natural disasters, while deadly and plentiful, have not developed into governmental crises. Skyrocketing gas prices, which fed the public's economic fears, are now subsiding.

I hope the ‘rats keep convincing themselves everything is okeydokey and keep encouraging Barky to act like the America hating commie putz he normally is. Barky continuing to act true to form is the best argument against re-electing him.
The AP is even predicting that Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker of the House again in 2013!
Indeed they require treatment asap.
In your acid destroyed mind Jim, your boy is going down.
The MSM method of journalism...just wish it to be so, write up your wishful thinking with a few of corroborating quotes by supposed Republicans no one has ever heard of and of course lots of Democrats who agree with you and it will become true!
These libs are delusional!
Already the storm wrecked cars are being tagged by taggers?
The double-dip news is trickling out...perhaps he won’t be in a second honeymoon long.
“The AP is even predicting that Nancy Pelosi will be Speaker of the House again in 2013.”
Why would anyone want that? (or wish it on their worst enemy?)
Congress, through it’s legislative agenda has a huge effect on the US economy (the president just gets the credit or blame for their acts). The economic conditions we are experiencing are a direct result of the 4 years of Democrat dominance under Pelosi/Reid. 2006 - 2010
Think the economy is bad now? Try Pelosi/Reid redux II.
...another one of those geniuses who finds everything "unexpected".
LOL...gotta laugh at the BS from the lib media...if there was a GOP autumn surge what’s going to happen this autumn with the price of gas and home heating oil higher than ever, unemployment still near 9% and the economy in the sh!tter??? i’m sure the liars in the media will come up with something else to give obozo a “foothold”....
Apparently Mr. Jim Kuhnhenn is a blithering idiot.
Ah, but even his .... smells good!
That’s possible. I looked up his photo. He has a 60’s haircut... one of those girl cuts. LOL
No, I’m not sure what the SE means, but the orange X’s indicate the vehicle was checked and cleared for remains or survivors.
Another AP campaign press release for President Super Fly.
