Actually what will propel him to a second term will be the fact that the house and the senate, in republican hands, will hold in check the O’s mad dash to the left, which will bring a stabilizing effect to the economy and a host of other issues. Unfortunately, this will redound his favor and the electorate, gullible as they are, will say, “hey, things are getting better, lets not rock the boat, let this guy stay in office.”
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.
Very possible, as this is what happened with Clinton, but remember, Clinton used Dick Morris' "Triangulation" to co-opt welfare reform and other issues. Plus Clinton faced a weak Republican ticket and a center-right third-party Perot candidacy. Obama is too politically naive to triangulate as well as Clinton, and assuming a strong Republican ticket and no significant center-right third-party threat, will face a much tougher re-election challenge.
I agree, this is exactly what will happen. Same as Bubba. The next Republican congress will make Zero look good and he will be re-elected, but with little power to do anything.
Remember how Clinton was forced to sign welfare reform? Barry may well have to roll back some of his disasters, even if in for two terms.
