I believe he can but thats not saying much. If republicans want to win then stop putting forth stupid candidates. As I said earlier, Obama was a populist and that's how he got elected.

It was recently found that the employment numbers were fudged to look good. They play a dirty, dishonest game of politics -- win at any cost!

Could this be an example of an Obama voter who doesn't have good comprehension skills? Or an example of the typical liberal's intentional misunderstanding of the English language?

Everyone knows what he meant, except the liberals who chose to pounce on it and make something of it that it wasn't.

It didn't take any superpowers. It was easy to see who he was, if you hadn't bought into the "emperor's new clothes" type of blindness.

Why didn't Romney's superpowers enable him to actually win the election?

And if he's so stunningly clairvoyant, why didn't he know he was gonna lose so badly?

Nonsense, Obama won because he was the 'fun' president. Nothing more, nothing less. Romney predicted that Obama's ideas would be an epic failure; however few liberals and independents listened; and insisted that Romney was just another 'old rich white guy' that America was "tired" of. Now a year later, borderline Dems and Independents are having 'buyer's remorse' wondering where things have gone wrong.

Now the GOP has the luxury of saying I "told you so" and the Dems have to answer to the failure of the economy's recovery and Obamacare, the two key issues that won him the election.

Even loyal Dems are getting tired of the "obstruction" excuse and the "I didn't know" attitude of this administration. He now stands at an abysmal approval rating at a lax 37%

Here's the Economist current cover of this month's issue...

He overestimated the ability of the masses to think for themselves.

He's not clairvoyant. He actually expected people to be smarter than they are. Imagine that! Y'all proved him wrong.

Credible enough?

You'll probably come back with Huffington's spin on it. Something more credible would be appreciated.
