You should check various forums related to Obama's recent announcements, there is much rejoicing. The question is, will he stick with it or back down? If he sticks with a Truman versus Congressional Republicans strategy, his approval numbers will rise as will his chances at re-election.

Since I'm an American, speaking in American English, when I refer to a European as "conservative" I'm using the American definition of the word.

I agree with you on that one (for once) . Hillary had/has the experience that Obama was lacking and should have been the nominee.

I wouldn't put any money an that.. He and the manly woman haven't been seen together much lately, and rarely travel together, even when going to the same place.

The last I heard his approval ratings were around 40%, and they're still going down hill. My approval rating for him would be a big fat 0 percent.
