I doubt it. A lot of people went for "hope and change" without realizing that "hope and change" is Swahili for "communism".

Holy Schitt, you called it! It only took a few posts before the 'c' word got deployed.

Barring a decline in the economy and all out war in Iran, things are perking up for the Obama right now, and he hasn't even started running campaign adds or giving campaign stump speeches yet.

If I were not a fan of Obama, I would start getting a little concerned with the upcoming election quite honestly.
