Hopefully he starts doing and telling the GOP to themselves before they completely dismantle the foundation of this country.
I think I can call that at this point. Barring anything seismically stupid said on his part, or some new economic crisis that causes a swath of new unemployment.
Republicans will talk themselves out of this realization and rationalize all sorts of things in the Fox "news" echo-chamber to avoid admitting this.
1) Hatred of Obama will be well balanced out by total lack of enthusiasm for Romney on the part of the GOP base.
2) Romney's background as an investment fund manager will present an easy narrative for Dems making the case to frustrated independents.
3) Overall slobbering nuttiness on the part of the right wing has probably turned off more than a few independents for Republican candidates in general.
This and the economy seems to be righting itself albeit slowly, and not getting markedly worse.
I can only hope his second term finds his administration pulling its head out of its ass, and starting to take on the GOP in Congress that is so obviously putting party ahead of country.

I think he will be re-elected pretty easily. The economy is not great but a little better than when he took office. I think most Americans will vote to give him a second term just so we don't take a step back.
We'll see if Wall St and UCA can buy the WH for Willard Gecko.
It's going to be an extremely nasty campaign with PACs able to lie, smear, slander Barry and Michele on Gecko's behalf with him claiming "it's not me doing it".
The only point I'll agree with is your un-numbered fourth point about the perception of an improving economy. If Romney is the nominee and his "calling card" strength is somewhat marginalized by decreased importance, it will be extremely difficult for him to draw the contrast on other issues.
I think it's going to be close tbh
Doesn't matter.
Each has a k-street stamp of approval. Pound your chest - convince yourself otherwise - pretend it REALLY matters.
The country has already lost the next election.
The 1% will win, the 99% will lose.
It's never been about Repug vs Dem, or even about politics. It is and always will be Haves vs HaveNots.
Since Willard Gecko won't get out the vote on his own, we'll see how the Fox Repug and associated lying, hate "Christian" media will mislead/scare the bubbas into voting: Obama's war on religion, Obama cut-n-run, Obama, war-on-anything. America's ing bogus wars everywhere.
America loves wars for killing, murdering, screwing somebody, anywhere hard.
rich vs poor, but theres more poor voters in america, just like ethnic groups > white
obama might call the shots, but its the 1% who decides the policies and where americas direction should be heading....
"theres more poor voters in america"
many of the poor and sick old don't vote, and the Repugs' bogus Voter ID will block millions of them from voting.
I hope you are one of them that is blocked.......
Or maybe you have already moved to one of the most wonderful
socialist countries, you used to brag about.
RP imho is the only potential candidate that has a better odd of winning da presidency then Obama does tbh, u guys just be ing stupid to vote 4 anyone not named Ron Paul
"RP imho is the only potential candidate that has a better odd of winning da presidency then Obama does tbh"
As with Noot, InSaneTorum, RP has absolutely no chance of getting the nomination.
An RP America would be even a worse social/economic Darwinian dystopia.
I'm not so sure.
1. paid almost $3.40 for gas on the way to work today. National average is just under $3.50.

2. The unemployment numbers are not as good as 8.3 would make it out to seem. Plus Obama made the enourmous mistake of setting a bar at 8.0.http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveodl...-11-or-15-1-2/
3. Solyndra, SunPower Corporation and other companies taht Obama selected and gave money to that are either failed and/or are failing.
Republicans have arguments to make and plenty of facts that will support their cause. I think that by Super Tuesday the GOP needs to fall in line and get behind their candidate. To early to call in my book. A lot can happen before November. I for one, will not be too upset if Obama wins. My world is not that different now than when Bush and Clinton were in office.
"Republicans have arguments to make and plenty of facts that will support their cause"
Repugs have nothing but lies and bogus facts, fabricated controversies (Solyndra) to to support their cause.
Notice how NOT ONE OF THEM has mentioned the names of dubya and head, not wanting to remind the usually amenesiac sheeple how bad the last Repug regime ed up America.
And with Romney or Obama(take your pick) we are left with a dying wellfare-warfare police state thats owned by the Communists.
Agreed. A blowup in europe that affects the recovery here is about the only thing I see that can derail Obama now.
It's interesting how confident all of you are even when the polls don't agree with your conclusions. This election is far from over.
I might disagree with the general consensus of the thread - IF the Republicans truly had a decent alternative. However, the Republicans have chosen to run the guy who go beat by the guy that Obama beat last time.
Obama, FTW.
A LOT can happen between now and October, but the most recent polls give Obama the edge.

what a shocking prediction!
Who do you think will beat him? Romney is pretty much a clone of Obama, except he leans towards giving more money to bankers than Obama did.
from your article
I'm pretty sure when the smoke from the primaries clears Romneys numbers will go up.Among registered voters, 49 percent say Obama’s performance warrants a second term; exactly as many say it doesn’t.
Among political independents, who are likely to determine the outcome of the election, 47 percent approve and 50 percent disapprove of the way he is handling his job.
At the end of the day Republicans hate Obama more than they dislike Romney and Romney is not as offensive to moderates as the rest of the republican field.
The election is far from beginning, but I tend to agree a drawn out, contentious primary favors Obama. Republicans tearing each other to pieces doesn't hurt Obama and overexposure is a danger.
Should be pretty close. Romney could win, but the polls I've seen have Obama slightly ahead of Romney.
Which ones were you looking at, CC?
I predicted this months ago.
I also agree it will be close, and the only reason it will be close is because of the enormous amount of people that dislike Obama. The right wing media has done a pretty good job at demonizing him.
But still, the Obama hate will be overshadowed by the lack of a decent GOP option. Close but easy win for Obama.
