Not quite. Yes, the MSM can be expected to trash the Republican candidates for President, VP and every other national office; it's their 'template'. But the biggest difference this time around is that Obama is no longer an empty canvas on which people can paint their ideal President. He is a KNOWN quantity this year, and some who voted for him last time have no intention of making that mistake again. They may not be saying that to the pollsters, because they don't want to be thought of as 'racists', which the media tends to do to folks who don't bow at the altar of Obama. I think this is why the polls are still so close; I don't think the election will be.
Known to a point. We still don’t know his history, and the Dems will want to hide the facts of the last 4 years, which ain’t pretty.
We need to press Obama to what is ahead in his plans. What exactly is the reason he wanted the Russians to play ball and hold out until after the election with that open mike incident with the Russian President? Why would he need to tell a potential adversary that he needed to wait until he didn’t need public opinion for his power in order to do...what?
A few suspicions I have of Obama in his second term, or prior to leaving office if he loses in November;
-Sweeping gun control, as much as he can ram down our throats, as fast as he possibly can.
-Unilateral nuclear disarmament.
-Massive cutbacks in military spending.
-Increased taxes on businesses and those making $100K.
