There are a couple of things aiding Obama.
We have had a Republican President for 8 years and have a bad economy.
I call BS on the 'concept' of bad economy.
It's just a 'fear' tactic, meant to explain why the FED-RES-BANK injected magic money (which only increases debt) into the major banks.
I haven't seen our 'economy' collapse.
I haven't seen this 'amazing' recovery due to a massive influx of 'cash'.
Gas is under $2.00/gallon.
The 'blame bush' tactic is awfully transparent, and really only works on the weak-minded.
