No he hasn't. If he has, then Reagan failed too, since Obama's numbers look better at this point than Reagan's did!

Us tricky righties, we are all for deficits, if it's a Repub applying Keynesian theory!

Take off the hate goggles.

Yes Republicans will pick up a lot of seats in 2010. But that is not unexpected in midterm elections (especially with all the fear-mongering, Republican hatred).

Same thing happen to Reagan, Clinton, And GW Bush.
And guess what? They all were reelected....

LOL!
I hear ya. It's not as easy to poll dead people as it is to register them to vote.

I've got news for you all, Obama will WIN a REELECTION in 2012. EASILY!
The guy didnt even win 2008 easily.. And you think now that everyone knows what he's about they are going to suddenly change their mind and support the man? Ooh the humor!!

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE DEBT. THEY ONLY CARE WHATS GOING ON AROUND THEM!
Just when I thought it couldnt get any funnier...
Americas economy is strong?
In 2007 we paid the debt all the way down?

Whats your choice of drugs?

The educated voter - irrespective of party affiliation - will see right through the media bull**** about the "economic recovery" and be cognizant of 15 million Americans (9 percent and up) being unemployed during this "historic recovery."

New Deal 2010 Version = Epic Fail. Unless his old buddies from Chicago help rig the election, not only will he not be re-elected, we're hoping for his resignation sometime in 2011.

I've got news for you all, Obama will WIN a REELECTION in 2012. EASILY!

You tea-party/Conservative whiners need to realize that just because your undying biased hatred for our President has clouded your ability to see everything good about Obama and the good job he is doing.
MOST OF AMERICANS aren't haters like you all are!

When it comes time to vote, the larger percentage of Americans will see how much BETTER America will be in 2012 than it was in 2008.
That is all thats going to matter!

Americans will realize (even more than they do now) that Obama came in after one of the worst Presidents in the modern era;
SAVED the economy, passed long awaited Healthcare reform, lowered overall taxes for the middle-class.... in addition to the the upcoming Obama initiatives that will benefit America!

You Tea party whiners can only fear-monger for so long! You can only cry wolf and cry that Armageddon is upon us for so long!

All that B.S. noise will fall on deaf ears for majority of Americans.

When America has FULLY recovered (by 2012) (jobs, economy, etc...), no one is going to care how in debt America is!

CRY all you want but its true! No one cared for the LAST 30 years about America's growing deficit! No one cared when Reagan ran up the bill! No one cared when Carter ran up the bill! NO one cared when H Bush ran up the bill!

No one give a d*mn when GW Bush ran up the bill to unforeseen heights!

Guess what? No one will care when Obama does it!

90% of Americans would rather the country be riddled in debt BUT America's ECONOMY be STRONG! (Stock market, jobs, opportunities, etc...)
THAN
America to pay the debt all the way down BUT be in a similar Economic CRISIS (like 2007); where jobs, businesses, homes disappear leaving the country in a huge panic!
NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE DEBT. THEY ONLY CARE WHATS GOING ON AROUND THEM!

My last point to speak on Obama being easily reelected in 2012, is YOUR PARTY DOESN'T have a LEADER OR even have a formidable CHALLENGER to Obama!
No one out of the Conservative/Republican/Tea-party can match/beat Obama in a debate, let alone a Presidential Election!

Are you guys serious? Do you really think Sarah Palin (who couldn't finish her term as Governor) could beat Obama (one of the smartest political minds since Bill Clinton, Reagan)????
Palin would get embarrassed WORST than she did in the 2008 Election!
Although I like Palin, Huckabee, and especially Romney; we all know that either of these and any other Republican SCRUBS you can find.

The 2012 election will be a landslide for Obama!


That is all! Carry on!
Obama is the worst thing to happen. He just said the economy is much better, but we are still in a recession. What part of a recession is good? He will not be able to get anything passed after November. He will be a bigger sitting duck then he is right now.

I guess he will not be on Arizona's ballot in 2012 will he?

Obama is not one of the smartest politicians. He is in over his head. Heck, he even said so on national tv. He didn't realize how hard this job was going to be.

Let him and his family enjoy the history that they made and lets hope 2012 comes where real change will happen.

Agree. If unemployment doesn't drop below 8% and the stock market doesn't rebound, and taxes increase he is a goner. Only a masochist would vote for him. Or maybe someone not too bright.(if the shoe fits)
