Obama is the worst President in our lifetimes and the economy has had the worst 4 year performance since the Great Depression. More long-term unemployed than ever.
Why would anyone think Obama would NOT get fired?!?
That baffles me, this idea that somehow Obama has such a strong chance of getting re-elected in the face of such a dismal record.
He may not have a ‘strong’ chance, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility, imo.
The voters obama has a lock on are: the blacks, those who depend on taxpayer transfer payments (like welfare and food stamps), those who benefit from crony capitalism, like GE, the abortion advocates, those plagued with perpetual white guilt , illegals, and liberals in general.
Of course there's voter fraud and intimidation that nobody seems to be able to do much about, and the all-important kneepad MSM, who will lie, cheat, steal, and whatever else they have to do to keep obama around for another four.
My main point is that it's not unreasonable to think obama has a shot, even though his presidency has been a colossal disaster.
All he needs to win is the votes.
The way you win is you first hold your own base then you peel off a faction or two from the other guy. We are running a guy who has yet to prove he can hold the Republican base. He is running against a guy whose own factions are HIGHLY UNLIKELY to switch and vote Republican ~ more likely they will simply not vote for the top position.
That's why we need to operate under the assumption that Obama has to lose 15% of the vote he had last time, and that we cannot count on picking it up ourselves.
Our candidate has to be charismatic in the extreme to overcome the problem that our last two candidates for President came nowhere near the number of voters that Obama got! In fact, we have a declining vote total 2004 to 2008!
