I think Obama’s re-election is a pretty sure thing — unless he is found ineligible for the office. And, based on past events, I don’t hold out hope that the eligibility issue will ever be allowed to take hold.
I've felt that way for many months now. What causes me the most pain is Congress. I thought with the Tea Party strength, we'd be able to storm the Capital. I was hoping for strong gains in the House with capturing the Senate a possibility.
All that enthusiasm seems to have dissipated. I knew we'd be stuck with zero, but was hoping for a really strong firewall to hold him at bay (kind of the way clintoon was checkmated in the 90s’.)
But there sure doesn't seem to be any joy in Mudville at this point!
