Thatwas not the question. They asked me why I thought he would get re-elected, I answered, do try keeping up with the discussion, once again it is YOU that FAILED.
So you dont think people want to vote for Obama based upon his accomplishments? Really?
President Obama has restored relations with the middle East (Israel etc) that was at a all time low at the end of the Bush administration.
Romney actually lost jobs when he was Gov.
Bush again, Bush Bush Bush...just give him a kiss and tell him you love him. He's the only thing that can make Obama look even remotely good at this point. So you NEED Bush.
As for middle east relations?
Do yourself a favor and get educated about the real way Obama has treated Israel

Massachusetts did not lose jobs when Romney was governor. The state gained over 50,000 jobs even though population grew by only about 25,000 (and the working age population grew by less). So two jobs were created for every resident gained. And more than two jobs were created for every working age resident gained. He got the state's unemployment rate down to 4.6%. That sounds pretty good compared to what unemployment is in the US right now, wouldn't you say?
The US has lost a net total of close to 600,000 jobs since Obama has been president while the population has grown by more than 8 million.
As far as this idea that Obama has "restored relations with Israel" and that the relations were at an all time low at the end of the Bush administration, that's laughable.
As far as your idea that Clinton handed Bush a rosy economic situation, it is true that there were some budget surpluses under Clinton, but did you sleep through the early 2000's recession?
Also, I find it quite ironic that you complain about debt added during Bush Jr's presidency when you are an Obama lover. Yes, Bush amassed a lot of debt, but Obama actually amassed more debt in his first 3 years and 2 months in office (through this March) than Bush did in all 8 years he was in office.

Is there any particular reason you don't believe Barack Obama will be a one term President?
I'm not guaranteeing an Obama victory in November, but when you consider that his opponent won't even win his two "home" states, it's not a great sign for the GOP.

There's a slight chance (notice I said slight) Romney could win Michigan, but you are very correct that he won't win Massachusetts. That being said, I don't think the fact that Romney will lose MA and likely MI is relevant. There have been several presidents who have lost their home states.
Obama's job approval rating remains too low for him to be re-elected, unless third party candidates do very well this election, because incumbents typically have a ceiling in the percentage of the vote they receive of their approval rating among actual voters, or actually slightly less than their approval rating among actual voters. Some Obama supporters have said that people just won't vote for Romney because he is so "unlikeable," except some recent polling indicates that Romney's net likeability is now ahead of Obama's.
Of course Obama's approval could go up or he could outperform his approval rating (which is very unlikely based on historical precedence) or third parties could get a much larger share of the vote than usual. But some Obama supporters think he is a shoe-in and that is absolutely laughable.

look for the strikingly handsome tall guy waving an american flag in front of the white house on tv as news of barack obama's defeat is announced to the world on election night. That will be me.

While it's doubtful any Republican will ever win the bluest state in the country (MA), it's quite possible that Mitt Romney could win MI and even NH. I wouldn't be so sure those are in the bag for Obama and neither are states we are counting on either.

Exactly right. The best thing about Romney is he should do well in the same states Hillary kicked the community organizer around in, and several of those were the main swing states.
