President Obama’s State of the Union was strongly bipartisan and made smart moves to the center, although it missed a chance to really tackle tough fiscal issues like meaningful entitlement reforms. His Arizona speech was terrific, his favorable ratings are climbing over 50, the economy is showing steady signs of improvement, and the stock market is up. So, how could he possibly lose his reelection bid? Just ask George H.W. Bush, who had an approval rating of nearly 90 percent two years out from his reelection. $#&! happens when you are at the helm of the free world. What could happen? Let us count the ways...

good luck with that, only 1 person I know of can predict the future and be 100% correct, and they are not mortal.

And yet YOUR link tried to do just that.

If you don't believe in "predicting the future" you shouldn't post a link to an article that does "just that".
Gee, a GOP strategist predicts Obama will lose - that's novel (NOT!)

You got that right, they got nothing and in two years they will have even less. As for the "article"; talk about a hug pile of speculations and assumptions, I kept thinking wow, this what feeding the trolls actually looks like.

my link was just as a response to the thread started about pbo winning the election in 2012. I started it because the thread had the winning points, but nothing about the losing points.

Ok, but that doesn't change the fact that ALL the verbage in the article is just plain "hope". History tells us a different story - and that story is that "sitting Presidents during economic recoveries WIN". I think I'll go with "what history has shown happens" rather than with the "hope" of a partisan commentator. The first is a LOT more likely to happen than the second.

then please let me know when the USA has a economic recovery. because it sure as heck has not heppened yet, and I dont see it happening anytime in the near future.


also it is strange that liberals will say that they will go with "what history" has shown, when they always go against "what history" has shown the USA in the past.
