With President Obama throwing his weight behind a few candidates, who all lost, and the Olympics, and more recently, predicting that the Colts would win the Super Bowl, and the Saints won, would you want President Obama's help for a victory at this time? Is it coincidence, or does he drag people down?

You make some good points. As I am mostly conservative...his prediction of the superbowl isn't really relevant. But if I was a democrat...it depends on his poll numbers and the political climate. For example, in 2008 the political climate was very rough for republicans (even though all liberals are SOLELY blaming Sarah Palin for John McCain's loss...but in actuality...it a combination of factors...Bush's low approval ratings, McCain's less than stellar ran campaign, his lack of focus on the economy, his age and being out of touch on some things, Sarah Palin not being very prepared for the interviews, etc.). Now the political climate is rough for both democrats and ALL incumbants (including dems and repubs). So since Prez Obama's poll ratings went down some...and if I was a dem...I don't think I would be enthuiastic to have him run for me...but it depends on a lot of factors...what district you in, his poll ratings, political climate, etc.

He said he was leaning towards the Saints, but in the end said he believed the Colts would win. He tried to have it both ways actually, but he said the Colts would win.

NOTHING from him....seems like a winning ticket to me.

He's NOT good at making any ONE decision and sticking to it.
Always seeking to have it both ways and trying, in vain, to please, or appease everyone.......but in the end....he can't.
He's doing well just to please himself, which appears to be the most important thing of all....for his ego, perhaps?

He's a flip-flopper (indecisive stutterer who is LOST without his trusty teleprompters).
He's a POTUS who's only success has been at dividing the country more than it ever was before he was elected.....even after 8 years of Bush's "accomplishments" at dividing US.
Hope he and his loyal flock of O'bots enjoy laying waste to America....and the Democratic Party too.
Hell hath NO fury....like this NATION scorned!
