So on one front, this bodes well for the Republican contender -- whoever that may be -- in 2012.

I couldn't disagree more. That 'front' is a small one--

as Hussein (with the able assistance of the MSM) will never, ever, EVER let everyone forget about his ULTIMATE ALIBI--

THE ECONOMIC MESS HE INHERITED!!

That 'blank check' ULTIMATE FREE-PASS CARD (which he is now playing by saying this recovery will take years)--

is a 'trump card' that will reassure his election. It's worked perfectly before--FDR rode that horse of an alibi for many years.

You make an excellent point too. For the nest four years, the MSM will do nothing more than repeat the Obama mantra: "The economic mess is Bush's fault and Obama needs more time to fix it!"

But consider this as well: In four years, the MSM will have collapsed (judging by the pace of the Dinosaur Media Death Watch that we see today). By then, millions more people will be getting there news from the Internet -- UNFILTERED by the bias of the MSM Left.

But the question remains: will this be enough to offset the lemming electorate that put Obama in office?

Dunno...
