Carville: 2012 could be ‘very rough’ for Obama, says civil unrest ‘imminently possible’
Daily Caller ^ | 7 June 2011 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 06/07/2011 4:55:03 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Who ever thought the saying, “It’s the economy stupid,” from James Carville in 1992 would become a staple in presidential elections 20 years later?

That expression made its way into the campaign in 2008, and according to Carville, it could be the theme of the 2012 campaign as well as President Barack Obama seeks reelection. In an appearance on Monday’s “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Network, the former Clinton adviser said that, based on the May jobs number, if the unemployment picture doesn’t improve, 2012 could be rough for the president.

“[L]ook, I don’t think anybody — if 54,000 new jobs is the new standard, it’s going to be a very, very rough 2012 for President Obama,” Carville said. “But the three-month average was 160,000. If that is the case, then he will do OK. I can’t tell you what will happen. But yes, if this, if this last jobs number is an indication of future job numbers, it’s going to be very, very rough.”

You can tell he wanted Hillary. Why would it be so horrible for Obama to lose the election? He would still get 400,000 a year for life; bennies; speaking tour; travel; secret service for 10 years; and much more. If only my life could be so awful.....

Voldemort with glasses?

In any case, unemployment in November 2012 is unlikely to be below 8.3% and could easily be 8.9% to 9.3%. Any of those numbers would be bad for the communist, which is good for America. It may be the economy, but some voters are stupid (especially dead and fictional voters). The druggie will try the "well, it's much worse than predicted before I seized power, but imagine how bad it would have been without my extra $5T in government waste, fraud, and abuse." The big question: will that work again?

This the same snake that said after the last presidential election that the Democrats would contol the federal government for a generation.

” James becomes more snake-like every day.”

He does bear a resemblance to a certain part of the male anatomy :) :) ;)

He spouts the administration line of 160k average as opposed to the trend.

Threatening or predicting violence is a not-so-veiled racist position. This guy is a pig.

Same prediction/threat that the left has made ever since 2008 -

blacks will riot if 0bama is not elected,
or if 0bama is shown to be ineligible,
or if he is impeached,

or if he is not re-elected?

They are just looking for an excuse. It's not a question of "if", it's a question of "when".

And when the violence starts, decent people will need to not give an inch, but rather push harder and harder against the destructive culture. Change is gonna come, and I don't see any reason why Western Civilization, with its Christian underpinnings, needs to change. No, after the violence will come change, and all of that change needs to be within the dysfunctional ghetto culture.

I have a (FUBO) sticker on my truck and have for two years.
So far no one has challenged me on it.

At least, as far as we know, he comes home to his wife and family.

It also sounds like he’s actually a decent and friendly guy. My husband flew him & Mary Matalin out of Miami about two months ago. Both were kind and graciously signed their boarding passes and took photos. My husband was very impressed by both of them.
