I think you are underestimating him I guess we will see come 2012.
You obviously haven't been watching the same Obama that I have. The Boy Wonder is without a doubt, the most incompetent, the most FAILED president of modern times.
He isn't slick, professional, smart, poised, cunning, masterful, logical, perceptive, or calculating - as you seem to think. He's none of those things, as is evidenced by nearly everything he's said and done since usurping the office of President.
Everything Obama has touched as president has turned into a resounding flop, including the take-down of the world's most wanted terrorist.
And while you're busy worrying about him crushing the Republicans in the election next year, just consider that his approval ratings are in the toilet, and that every Democrat candidate he's supported for election, has lost to the Republican. The American people also oppose his one "signature accomplishment", ObamaCare, by something like 70%. Do I even have to mention the economy?
Do not fear Obama. He's a bumbling idiot on a throne.
