By Gary Langer Oct 3, 2011 2:30pm Majority Expects Obama to Lose Re-election
A majority of Americans expect Barack Obama to be a one-term president, an assessment on which, in past elections, the public more often has been right than wrong.
Just 37 percent in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll say they expect Obama to win re-election in November 2012; 55 percent instead expect the eventual Republican nominee to win. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is asking the president about that result in an interview today.
It’s a challenging finding for the president because expectations can fuel voter enthusiasm – precisely the ingredient that led the GOP to its broad success in the 2010 midterms, when charged-up conservatives turned out while dispirited Democrats stayed home.
Democrats do expect Obama to win, but they say so only by 58-33 percent – a comparatively tepid vote of confidence within his own party. Republicans, by contrast, smell victory by a vast 83-13 percent. And independents – the linchpin of national politics – by 54-36 percent expect the Republican candidate to beat Obama.

He could either burn through that billion in a losing effort or he say "no mas", bounce with his billion to who knows where and laugh at the rest of us. Could he do so and remain bullet-free is the real question.
*vote* *fraud*
It all depends who we end up with. If its Romney I am probably going to need antidepressants or some other strong prescription med. Plus, I may have to get drunk. I still don’t think I could do it. It is possible I might thow up on the ballot machine.
once every 30 years that shoe shifts to the other foot...Bobo is done, it's over
Betfair has gone cold on Bobo contracts. Sux. But it was hot & heavy through 2Q. Still gonna come out like a rose!
Buh bye, Bozo.....
Note to self - buy more concertina for the permimeter before November...
My, my all the love for the Illegal.
I would be 100% sure he would not be elected again if Voter ID was put in place and we had one day to vote like it used to be.
It’s a perfect storm for voter fraud when ACORN gets to vote 24/7 for two weeks with no voter ID. With that going on, we could have a billion votes for Obama counted, with only 300 million americans eligible to vote.
And that is only a Billion reported, most of his money comes in a brown paper envelope. Like the Visa donation scheme last time.
in 1968, gold was $39.31 an ounce.The median wage was $5571.76 [according to the SSA http://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/AWI.html] That means, to adjust for inflation you divide todays wage, $32,127 by todays price for gold, $1664 to get an annual gold purchase power of 19.3 ounces a gold in a year.
Now divide the 1968 median wage of 5571.76 by the 1968 price of gold at $39.31 yealding a years worth of work for 141.7 ounces of gold.
Now to compare the difference, divide the 1968 ounces for the year by the 2011 ounces for the year. 141.7 / 19.3 = 7.34. That means my mom was paid 7.34 TIMES what I am paid today.
So the answer is no I am not better off, and if you were wondering how your mom was able to pay off her morgage and you are not able to, now you know why.
Excellent!
It IS why OUR parents are better off. Ours have a house that’s paid for, all cars paid off, vacations SEVERAL times a year ...cash flowing non-stop.
We may never compare to that ... and we’re close to 50 now.
Would so love to see him take off with his campaign chest, then the DRONES do what they do best.
In the fifties and sixties, people could sock their money away because savings accounts paid five and six per cent interest rate.
Not about to let up. I want him to suffer like we have suffered under his thumb and the thumbs of his commie minions. I want him to be hated for years and years to come. I want him to be excoriated by generations to come for the destruction he has done to this country.
I am bitter and I hate obastard for what he has done and continues to do to the people of this country.
He has encouraged the entitlement class and set their expectations and experience so incredibly high that it is unsustainable under any circumstances. He has trained them to believe that there are no consequences to horrible decisions. When the gravy train stops, under any circumstances, anyone in their headlights will be the enemy. The next president after obastard will be a hated man by the left and especially by the entitlement class because he and the congress will be the people that “stole” their candy. They will riot, first in enclaves like Detroit and then their “leader” will come along to spread their hatred and increase his power. Obastard may be that Lord of the Flies leader for them with the same disastrous results.
I only have one vote but other people have two or three.
That will only work once the National Popular Vote Compact kicks in, and we no longer have the Electoral College to contain the popular vote imbalances to single states.
The National Popular Vote Compact will allow illegal votes to walk across state lines.

Its the economy, stupid!
Democrats are going to quietly pressure the President to stand down for re-election.
If its a referendum on him, the will lose the Senate. A Republican trifecta is now their worst nightmare: expanded House majority, Senate takeover, the Presidency.
Its the Obama Recession!
