"The White House believes that by adopting a populist mantle, embracing Occupy Wall Street and anti-Washington sentiment, that the incumbent can make himself into the outsider again.

And while this is a stretch, the Republicans have not been able to develop any sort of coherent message on either jobs, or on tax or budgetary policy or to distinguish themselves from the extraordinarily low ratings that the Congressional party and their leadership gathers."

Frankly, after the last debate, I can see why Obama thinks he's going to win again.

We are too busy FIGHTING EACH OTHER, to fight Obama and his willing sycophantic mainstream media...

The Dems can get away with OUTRIGHT LYING to the American people without fear of ever being called on it by the mainstream media. Why should he fear losing next year?

Exactly right. They have been getting away with it for decades. In order for a Republican to win the presidency, he has to overcome a lying democrat, a lap-dog media and let's not forget voter fraud in all 50 states.

If we nominate Romney, I am convinced too that Obama wins ... in a landslide.

There might not be an election. If Obambi keeps getting away with ignoring Congress, there will be no need of one.

Obama will be reelected because the conditions that led to his election in the first place have not been reversed.

Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.

Republicans and Democrats agree that you have “rights” - lots of them. They also agree that any question ABOUT your “rights”, or whether or not something IS a “right”, should not be decided by a political process because that is “divisive”. So, they both agree that the voice of “the People” as contemplated in Articles IX and X can only be voiced by nine unelected life tenure judges, and that five of them, at any time or for any reason, can give new “rights” and take away old ones, particularly if those old ones arise out of majority voting.

Republicans and Democrats all believe in “diversity”. They, ignoring completely the results of all social science research on this subject, and contrary to millennia of human experience and wisdom, believe that the more “diverse” our country, its institutions, and any private entities within her become, the more cohesive and productive we will become.

Republicans and Democrats almost all believe in “free trade” and “immigration”. These things are good for various constituencies of both parties while they wreck the economy and the nation.

In order to win elections in Republican districts, the candidates have to pretend that they don’t believe these things. But Obama isn’t pretending.

To paraphrase Harry Truman, “given the choice between a socialist and a socialist, the people will choose the real socialist every time.”

Zero’s continued occupation of the White House is a strong possibility because of only one thing: Massive Vote Fraud.

End of discussion.

***Second, the president looks at the Republican primary field and laughs, as he did on “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno this week.***

At a news conference, I remember Obama also laughed when the freshmen (tea party) republican folks that were voted in in 2010 were going to defund/eliminate obamacare. Well, I haven’t heard a peep out of them or anyone else (about obamacare) for quite some time. Looks like it’s full speed ahead.

Since Tokio Rove is doing whatever he can to get real conservatives out of the way so his boy Mitt can get the nomination, it seems to me Obama has a lot to laugh about.

They also believe that they will retake the House (Dem + 30 seats-Welcome back Speaker Pelosi), and pick up 2-4 Senate seats. Then Reid will move to have filibusterers broken by 53 votes.

Obama will be reelected if the banks believe he will give them more of what they want than Romney will. If he shows signs of reverting to his Communist past or stirring up disruptive Rodney King-style riots just to hang onto his throne, then they'll shift to Romney and take Obama out very quickly via the media. So I expect Obama to take a conciliatory, moderate tone rather than the radical approach depicted in the article. He has to play moderate Republican like Clinton did, or his benefactors will spank him. What the radical Left thinks about that really doesn't matter - none of them will dare oppose the Holy Half-Black Chief.

Nothing will change if Romney is chosen, except we'll have a President who isn't actively trying to make the white middle class disappear and die. Sentiment might improve - for a while.

"his willing sycophantic mainstream media"

This is the real GOP opponent, not Obozo, who is so in the hole that he cannot recover on his own. When I hear a coherant 'fight the MSM' policy from the GOP, I will believe that a GOP candidate can win. The current crop of panty waist GOP leaders leave me in despair.

I think he could win on a Populist platform, but it is going to take more than talk.

He is going to have to turn Eric Holder loose and send a few Wall Street bankers on high-profile perp walks.

He is going to have to literally FORGIVE a bunch of student loan debt...not just tweak payments down by six or eight bucks a month.

He is going to have to limit bank fees and cap their credit card rates at something like 15 points over prime.

He is going to have to force banks to take cramdowns on mortgage principle amounts.

Those actions would, I fear, gain him a tremendous amount of popular support.

All of it is problematic for Obama though because he is highly compromised (i.e. has taken more money from Wall Street than any other politician in history).

Is he coming to a point where he is wiling to throw them under the bus to go full-throated populist? I expect we will soon find out.

If obama wins in 2012, it will be by treachery and deceit. That's all that someone like obama is capable of.

The creature will probably be reelected. He has too many factors in his favor: (a) the ongoing collapse of American society reulting in a mere demography not a “People;” (b) the MSM-”three weeks of media treatment and the truth is recognized by all;”(c) a billion dollar war chest;(d)a strong base composed of blacks, homosexuals, Jews, Mexicans, Asians and soon to be added felons;(e)massive voter fraud; (f) a ridiculous list of Republican candidates;(g)voter intimidation-two black thugs at critical white precincts causing thousands of potential white voters to flee in abject terror. The aforementioned are very strong factors.

As I see it, Obama will win. He has been a very generous Santa lately and it will pay off. The die is cast for this country and I really believe that nothing can be done. The only votes he has not locked is the white private, Christian voters and he doesn’t need them.

Good percentage of the military vote: closing shop in the ME and bringing the troops home.

Latino and other immigrant vote: recenty issued the executive power amnesty.

Student 18-25 vote: Getting their student loans reduced not to mention his support of Occupy.

Gay vote: Reversed DADT

All union members: including teachers, firefighters, police.

Green Vote: They love him. Gave our money to a bankrupt solar panel company making them ecstatic.

Black Vote: Nothing more to add.

Don’t forget, with each of these types of people they have family, friends, etc. who sympathize with them.

Those that underestimate their enemy, generally lose.

There are hundreds of reasons why Obama should lose, just as there were mountains of reasons why he should have never been elected in the first place.

Regardless of the strong case against him, Obama could definitely win.

My concern is not so much that he could win, instead, WILL WE give it to him.....?
