“Additionally, higher gas prices have again siphoned off discretionary cash, so that has also softened any demand for other items.”
Even worse for Obama (and the average American), GROCERY PRICES are siphoning off discretionary cash. Obama underestimates the angst of people that pay their own bills; he is finished.
FDR kept a lousy economy and kept getting reelected. Obama’s loss is not a lock.
I believe the media was in the tank then, just as today, for the liberals. They wield enormous power, and with Fox News promoting their brand of progressivism, but still progressivism, their Romney campaign will be drowned by Hollywood, entertainment, big news, and sports.
Romney will lose because he has nothing to differentiate himself from Obama. Their records are basically the same. Any angle he tries Obama can say “He did the same.”
