Patton's right, this is all about 2012 for Barky.
That said, Barky's MSM buddies are already happy-talking the economy as furiously as they can...... "ooooh, after-Christmas sales are booming! Sales up, jobs will be up (quote some DimRat econopol slimebag like Krugman -- one of 'em did already), construction up, house prices up (your equity/wealth-effect feelgood factor with 'em)", and blah, blah, blah.
Georgie Clintonopoulos and Hatey Katie will be trying to happy-talk Slick into a second term, and the 'Rat cadres in the statistics-issuing departments of the FedGov will be feeding them prolechum and liestats to support their Big Lie.
Gotta outlast AJ's Kennedy and Scalia, after all. Get those lesbian Communist lawyers in there ....repeal 2A as Job One for the Communist cadre comrades ... and so on.
