Yup.
Listen, I don't care if someone approves of Obama or not - the fact is, if they look at the facts objectively and leave out their OWN opinion of Obama (either good or bad) and JUST look at what his approval ratings are during a VERY HARSH recession it's hard to come to the honest conclusion that he's in not in a pretty strong position once the economy recovers. I mean the fact is, if he can still manage a roughly 50% approval rating with the unemployment rate at 10%, what's he going to be able to manage as that unemployment rate falls as the economy recovers.
That's not me as an Obama supporter speaking, that's just me as a logical person.
Realistically, the only way he won't be re-elected (assuming the lack of scandal or a vastly successful terrorist attack) is if the economy doesn't recover - an quite frankly I don't think there's much chance of that.
