The last president re-elected with unemployment over 7.2% was FDR in 1936. Ronald Reagan overcame 7.2% unemployment because the rate was dropping dramatically (it had been over 10%) as the economy grew very rapidly in 1983 and 1984. Today, in contrast, the Federal Reserve says growth will be less than 3% this year and less than 3.8% next year, with unemployment between 7.8% and 8.2% by Election Day.

The only way Obama will lose of he’s not in the race. He stole $800B from the treasury. Let’s get real.

Yes, Tokyo Rove does lay out some basic truths that can not be denied especially the bad policies of Obama that people have rejected

Honestly, how can anyone who gives any kind of rip for their kids or grandkids future vote for this guy. How does this not end up a landslide for whomever opposes him??

Simple by running bad candidates like Romney et al. I wish a serious opponent to Obama would step up to the challenge. Perhaps a more charismatic & telegenic version of Ron Paul.

Talked to another conservative at work tonight. Confirmed what I have been saying... If Romney is the R nominee, she and her husband will not cast a vote for president or will write someone else in.

We still need to hammer Obama and not take anything for granted.

The only way Obama doesn’t lose is if GOP runs another lackluster RINO against him.

I have to agree. Truth is truth, thank God.

Because all the divers in Louisianna and Texas are out of work since Obama halted drilling in the Gulf.

Vote Republican!

Yeah, it's really paying off for him. Obummers polls are spectacular and everything is coming up aces for him.

Sometimes all the money in the world can't save a man from the destruction he wrought. This is going to be one of these time. Remember, Obummer is the stupidest man who ever held the Presidency and now he has an absolutely abysmal record by any standard.

He has shown himself to be against the state of Israel - which means he has aligned himself against the favor of Almighty God. Obama needs to worry about much bigger things than the Presidency...

Here’s what the Jews in my area fight over - freaking water balloons. Not a rip about Obama selling out Israel, not a rip.

Nov 2011 is still over a year away...not exactly a time to start calling whether or not he is likely to lose...rather it is time to elect a solid conservative challenger...the kind that the stuffy elites in the Republican party claim has no chance...somebody like a Ronald Reagan rather than a McCain, or Dole, or Bush, or the other Bush.

Geez. The Hasidim are worst than the Rev. Al Sharpton followers. A water balloon indecent is escalated into a race war? The best part of the story is when some head guy from the “Community” rolls in to get everyone to drop charges. Yeah right. I would sue their a$$es of for terrorizing my child.
