This is the “X” factor, for sure. I remember clear as day telling myself, and anyone who would listen, how impossible it would be for Obama to get re-elected in 2012 (I think I even had the same sure-fire belief in 2008!)
What’s that quote that says something like, “no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people,”?
Something like that, yeah.

Well the only problem was the Republicans who ran against Obama (McCain/Romney) and the fact that in 2008 the economy was going into the toilet.
