If McCain would have won, then the Dems would most likely stay in control of Congress and this "awakening" of the American Public may not have happen.

Now it is looking like the GOP will take control of the House and possibly the Senate, then the WH in 2012.

Obama will win easily because the Republicans do not have a single viable candidate and will probably be forced to run Palin by default. And even more people hate and despise her than hate and despise Obama.

The truth of the matter is that of all these haters who seem to think they have all the answers and would personally make a perfect President themselves I really hear VERY few ideas of what they would actually do that would make things a whole lot better.

I think this is a very premature statement. I voted for Obama and I think he's done relatively well considering the mess he inherited but a lot can happen in the next couple of years. Let's see how he does over the next year or so and who he's up against before we start claiming that he will President until '16.

This means that the Pubs will put forth in the next election the same nonsense that lost it for them in 2008. They are still Bush republicans. This means they don't know a thing about the economy, Wall street, the infrastructure, health care, civil rights, or dealing with the deficit. They run up deficits to record levels even when given a surplus. They cause illegal immigration to grow worse while only complaining about it. They favor increasing h-1b visas to bring cheaper indian and asian labor here to displace millions of qualified americans. This causes the unemployment rate to skyrocket.

Their small govt nonsense means less regulation. Less regulation means the rich get richer and the rest go to hell. Less regulation means more food recalls, historically bad oil spills because of cuttting corners, ineffective responses to natural disasters (like Katrina), and neglect of federal investment in medical and technology research that could find the cure for deadly diseases. A cure fo cancer or alzheimers might've been found with the trillion dollars they wasted on a failed ideological war that we are trying to get away from now. Among this bunch, warmongering remains high on the agenda because they believe that every society should be just like ours and strives for such. How pompous. They think it's ok to attack sovereign nations unprovoked even when those nations pose no imminent threat to this country. They don't mind lying to get congressional approval, then continuously lying about how well the war is being managed. This tactic perpetuates war and keeps the public from focusing on their inability to solve domestic problems.

They are about protecting those who benefited from discriminating and denying opportunities to others. They oppose affirmative action, holding that racism no longer exists to the detriment of certain minorities, even as they practice discrimination. They have a very backwards view of abortion, having the gaul to believe that any man can tell a woman what to do with her body. It goes on, but their narrative has been nothing but negativity since this great president was overwhelmingly elected. Their negativity continues in the form of some of the most pathetic political figures in history: Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck. Incredible.

President Obama given the worst mess in history and he has been doing an excellent job. He's here through 2016 folks! We are fortunate as a nation.


Like Bill Clinton said, "It's the economy, stupid".

Unemployment will be higher in 2012 and the economy worse, due to the Obama tax increases and strangling credit. Obama loses in a landslide.

It is the economy, stupid.

The problem isn't the "haters" that you and all the liberals seem to only focus on. The problem is the moves B. Obama is making under his authority. The BP oil spill should be enough to show you guys how far this guy will go. Do you think Obama actually means what he says about kicking someones' ass over the spill? If you do then I feel bad for ya
