Great source!


The RCP average has him all the way up to an unelectable 46.1%

Inexperienced senator = bad. Inexperienced president = what...good?
Too bad most of the dems who will be voted out are better qualified to be president than the boy wonder...

Is Obama going to invade a country that hasn't attacked us within the next couple of days and falsify links to 9/11?

If you're going to back such a strong statement then I need to ask what you thought of our initial run-up to the Iraq war? Are you ascertaining that it was a "wag the dog"?

Don't be silly.

Only Congress can declare war.

Like to see the list of high profile Democrats who voted to invade a country that hadn't invaded us?

That is very true. This Economic and jobs crisis could have been turned around a year ago. The American people know that, hence the low Congressional ratings, both Parties. Politics is the primary job of our Reps, not representation. It appears this election is affirming, that's what we want.

The biggest one-day loss for the president's party in modern times was in 1938, when voters expressed their impatience with the Depression and FDR's New Deal by voting out 71 Democrats.

The Democrats also lost 55 seats in 1942, also during FDR's presidency.

And FDR was re-elected THREE times.
