Don't get me wrong - I am not blaming Obama for all the problems we are currently experiencing. I am, however, judging him poorly on his reaction and subsequent follow-up to a broad range of issues. He lacks the ability to focus on one issue at a time, close the deal, move on to the next one. He is too spontaneous in his off-the-cuff comments which the public and the media then have the chance to pick apart at leisure.

You should thank your lucky stars he lost then, You owe Obama, big time, for allowing you to walk around with your head held high like this. McCain/Palin would have ushered in a new Dark Age and set the country back 30 years, morally and spiritually. The truth would be settling in around now and we would all be hunkered down indoors wondering if the martial law will ever be lifted.

It was an answer both to the OP who asked if Obama might be a one-term wonder - and also (as quoted in my post) an answer to DavyCrocket's question.

Pay attention to the order of the posts, I responded with that statement when they compared our current economic state to 1930s Germany.
Actually economies were compared - not a comparison of Hitler and Obama which you made - please keep up with the class - the problem with your comparison is that Hitler lasted a lot longer in power than Obama will

Sorry who left us in the dark and in a economic recession was Dubya, two wars that he left Obama with, and banking system on the brink of collapse not to mention record foreclosures and a collapsing stock market.
Were you living under a rock? Thanks for your prediction though about him being a one term President
Since you are predicting ,can you give me the winning numbers for the next Powerball Lottery?
