As the economy continues to sputter, some are questioning President Obama's re-election chances. But the president on Thursday insisted, "The odds of me being re-elected are much higher than the odds of me being elected in the first place."
The president acknowledged his supporters' concerns at a high-ticket Democratic fundraiser Thursday night, hosted by Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, the former U.S. Ambassador to Portugal.
"But we remain very confident about our ability to win a contest of ideas in 2012 -- as long as we can get the message out," Mr. Obama said.
The president said voters in 2012 will understand that the current economic climate stems in large part from long-term problems, like the structural deficit and shortcomings in education and energy policy.
"I think, an innate sense among the American people that things aren't fair, that the deck is stacked against them," he said, "that no matter how hard they work, their costs keep on going up, their hours are longer, they're struggling to make their mortgage, and somehow nobody's paying attention."

Tell that to all the incumbents who got blown away.
They used to be 2:1, now they are 100:1
He is in a better position of getting impeached hopefully.
he’s right.
He now has the AG on his side who will ignore all election fraud.
Watch for million of fake votes, duplicate votes , dead people votes, illegal immigrant votes to get him back in office.
Watch for the black racists and unions to stand outside voting booths.
Only the republican Govs can stop this by getting rid of early voting and having people watch the voting booths and ordering police outside all voting booths.

They call Pres. Bush and Perry dumb, and this bozo can't even speak in complete sentences. These are just words struggling to find a thought.
Odds are he will have a billion dollars to use for his re-election. He will have the illegals vote as well.
Obama is crazy....still talking like he and the Dems hadn’t run things since 2008. You are in charge Barry...you are the one “stacking the deck” and bottom dealing...and in 2012 you are gone!
hee hee.. nice try
I knew this was satire
...what? IT’S NOT?!?!?!?!?!?????????????
Even odder, if his odds don’t improve, he’s bound to get even.
He has ideas? Who knew. He's on tv every 15 minutes so getting the message out isn't the issue. Devoid of ideas is the issue.
"Get the message out"? This guy does nothing but talk and everytime he does, his poll numbers drop.
Yeah, sure, that's the problem. Not enough speeches.
For being the best speaker ever, he sure doesn't seem to be able to get his "message" out.
He’s probably right. “Americans” just love arrogant, lowlife bass turds. Especially one that can make white girlymen faint when they hear him read from a teleprompter.
BS Zero. You only won in 2008 because you didn’t have much of a record and the media was able to bury what record you did have. They also hid the fact that you are a leftist, Marxist radical who doesn’t like America. America knows who you are now.
