Despite being totally incompetent, and arrogant in his ignorance, it is not inconceivable that 0bama, with ACORN's help [and dedication to voter fraud and vote stealing], could come out on top for re-election. Vigilance had better be the keyword in 2010 and 2012. Remember Al Franken, the battle cry!

McCain, Romney, Gingrich...I’d say they all line up with Mondale as far as appealing challengers.
Palin - probably damaged goods, thanks to McCain’s election minions, though she can repair her image. But likely not before 2012.
Huckabee - I really like the guy personally, but he’s put holes in his own boat.
Sooooo...time for a dark horse. Who’s out there?

This is why the Socialist have undermined the morality and are anti-religion.You have to have a large % of voters with no pride or work ethic willing to vote fore the meager crumbs doled out by the Socialists. They are taught to hate the evil capitalist but fail to realize they are voting for a monopoly of Communist party elites who will treat them worse than the capitalists they revile. Idiots. The Republic will not survive this one.

"Cant ever forget that apparently more than 50% of the population is made up of moochers/looters. Theyll always vote commie."The other half is made up of folks that will vote for six different "Conservative" candidates depending on which agenda they support. Unless a real consensus is reached among Conservative voters early in the election cycle, Obama will be a two term president, and America will continue its descent into hell.

There was someone on the radio the other day that predicted he would be driven out of office and forced to resign over some corruption scandal, that would make Nixon look like a altar boy..............

It all depends on who challenges him. A sitting President HAS to be beaten in the election, because they have any number of inherent advantages. Unless things absolutely collapse and he is truly run out of town, it all depends on who is running and how well they can out campaign the campaigner in chief.

True, true, true!
The GOP position of passively being less awful is not going to get them anywhere except extinct.

Don't forget the mushy-middle independents. They need to be educated by conservatives but if conservatives are busy eating their own... well, that's an ugly picture that never wins elections.

I remember back when I was smoking pot, I thought how screwed up the world would be if everybody was on drugs. Well here we are, all screwed up...

We are on our third administration in a row with a history of recreational drug or alcohol abuse at some point in their lives.
We see the results, I think.

EXCEPT...the thought of a "President Biden" is just too frightening to contemplate...for very long... Not any more. I'd take it. I'd take NIXON at this point.

To: madprof98
The nicest thing about today's political society is you can ignore history.
Let's see - since the end of World War 2, well within the life span of almost all of the existing people who are likely voters, how many Democratic Presidents were reelected based on their own 4-year performance?
Trueman - had a partial term after FDR died, won in 1948 but lost in 1952.
Johnson - had a partial term after JFK was assassinated, won in 1964 but didn't/wouldn't run in 1968.
Carter - 1976 to 1980.
Clinton - 1982 - 2000. The exception because he ran, very hard, to the center after 1994.
The Presidents who won a second term based on their performance were all Republicans.
So, will BHO run towards the center to be reelected in 2012 like Clinton did? That's the real issue not all of the false flags raised in this editorial.

That would be great. I’d like to see that. I’m afraid, though, that we’d face rioting as we’ve never seen it before, because,you know, “The Man” would be out to get the black guy.
The other problem is that Joe Biden would be our POTUS. What a dumba$$. Then, of course, there’s the guy who would be his VP. AWK!

To: madprof98
these people might actually pull it off again.
I never thought embattled Clinton would win a second term, but he did.
If there is perceivable improvement in the economy and jobs -- and the MSM will provide unfettered coverage of improvements -- Obama could win.
People vote with their pocketbooks. If their own economic situation seems 'livable', they will vote for the status quo. If their own economic situation is poor, they will vote for change.
Obama has roughly two years to use those bail-out funds to give the impression that the economy is improving.

The more that people learn about the Obama Administration, Obama himself, and the direction of the country, the more people do not like Obama personally and see him as extremely arrogant and narcissistic. I don't think that the average persons opinion can be turned around for any reason. Many people, mostly democrats, are simply not honest about their feelings towards him as a man, not willing to admit they made a mistake in his presidency. With Reagan, it was just the opposite. The more they saw him the more they liked him as a person. He appealed to the good natured side of the American people and was a genuine good man as seen by most.

This will be made easier for BHO with big GOP wins in the 2010 Congressional election... just as the GOP Congress facilitated Bill Clinton's run to the center and helped produce the famed budget surpluses the Democrats now claim were the result of Clinton's presidency.

Absolutely.
If the Grand Old Party runs a retread candidate, they will lose, no matter how bad Obama is.
