He should really be worried because if his cronies don’t get the unicorns and rainbows he promised it is going to get ugly.

Except, once he's in, it's hard to unseat a politician. I think the last president that ran for reelection, that didn't make it, was Herbert Hoover.

Of course, Truman and LBJ saw their polls slip and decided not to run, so I guess we can still hope.

Don’t remember Jimmmy? Or Boosh I?

Oops. How could I forget.

Obama raised $745 million, twice as much as McCain

Kind of poetic Justice that McCain is outspent, and badly beaten (by contemporary standards) *after* the passage of McCain-Fiengold, which was all about getting "big money" out of politics.

Still, the delicious irony is not THAT delicious to be worth having the likes of B.H. Obama inflicted upon us.

If I remember correctly, Carter and Bush Sr didn't make it. Ironically, economy was the reason. Carter and Obama has some incredible campaign similarities. Hope O follows the footsteps of Carter and ends up in ignominy. Guess who defeated him with his conservative views, ability to connect with people and being a Governor from west? There is another Governor waiting in the wings this time with lipstick. You Betcha!

Exactly! Notice how when Bush and the GOP raise tons of money, the liberal MSM decry it and say “get money out of politics”. When Osbama and democrats raise money, they sit and marvel at it and say how great a rainmaker he is. Its hypocrisy.
