It’s interesting to look back at 2009 and 2010. If the stimulus, tax reform, and job creation had been top priority...he’d lead Romney today by ten percent easily. It’s an enormous screw-up by his White House team to prioritize things and have this health-care law business consume almost an entire year....and likely to be tossed out by the Supreme court now. A simple miscalculation....really cost him the guaranteed chance to win the election.

"When I was first introduced to Obama, he said, "Oh, you're the gun guy." I responded, "Yes, I guess so." "I don't believe that people should be able to own guns," Obama replied. I then suggested that it might be fun to have lunch and talk about that statement sometime. He simply grimaced and turned away, ending the conversation. That was the way that numerous interactions with Obama went.... It was very clear that Obama disagreed on the gun issue and acted as if he believed that people who he disagreed with were not just wrong, but evil."

Where is that likability that I keep hearing about from GOP candidates?

I can't speak to the numbers, but I can tell you this:

Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 was a major sigh of relief for America. People were so happy to be rid of the horrible Jimmy Carter that America's outlook on the economy improved immediately. The sense of better days ahead was real & obvious, even on the Left. The loss of Carter was celebrated, not mourned, nationwide.

It was this perception change, as much as any new public policies, that turned our economy & morale around. I believe the same thing will happen once Obama is gone.

Have you have ever been to a party or other gathering of people, where one person there is an obnoxious party wrecker? The instantly improved mood of the party when the jerk finally leaves is exactly the same feeling as in January 1981.

John Lott speaks from direct personal experience with the real Obama during the days when they were both junior professors at the University of Chicago.

Sigh. Here we have a conservative POV and even here we see the professor Obama again. He was NOT a professor, he was a lecturer and as far as I know, he did not profess law, he lectured about the 14th Amendment. This professor crap should stop!

“The Worst Economic Recovery Since the Great Depression”

Yes, that would fit on a bumper sticker.
