Obama almost 2-1 favorite to win re-election
Will President Obama win re-election in 2012?
Karl Rove concedes that his chances are pretty good. “I consider him a favorite, albeit a slight favorite,” Rove told Politico. “Republicans underestimate President Obama at their own peril.”
Mike Huckabee, a potential challenger, isn’t among those making that mistake.
“The people that are sitting around saying, ‘He’s definitely going to be a one-term president. It’s going to be easy to take him out,’ they’re obviously political illiterates – political idiots, let me be blunt,” he said.
That may explain why Huckabee and others haven’t been eager to jump into the race. I suspect they’re waiting to see how the coming budget confrontation plays out between Obama and Washington Republicans before making their final “go/no go” decision
At Intrade, “investors” can “invest” in markets trying to determine the chances that Arctic ice in 2011 will be greater than that in 2007 (43 percent), whether physicists will observe the elusive Higgs Boson particle by 2012 (12 percent) or whether the U.S. will adopt a VAT or sales tax this year (25 percent). The people willing to put their money on the line have made Obama almost a two-to-one favorite to win re-election.
(BTW, Sarah Palin is given a 7.4 percent chance of winning the GOP nomination, down from a peak of 28 percent; Herman Cain has a paltry 0.3 percent chance. But as the famous political prognosticator Lloyd Christmas would point out, Cain does have a chance.)

Or was that Phil Gingrey that did them malpractice thingys. Him and Tom look so much alike. It coulda even been Paul Broun. He might really be a witch doctor though. You know how these tea parties can be. We just get all of our talk all mixed up while sitting around watching FOX, our one and only source of news, and start blaming whoever for whatever. I just hope no one objects.

A lot of Blue States and major urban centers are broke or going broke. They’re all-in for Obama and the Dems, because they ultimately can’t survive without huge bailouts. Bookman and the AJC want you and me to pay their debts and for their failure to govern wisely. They want us to pay to enable the Al Gore’s of the world to reap windfall profits off trades in carbon markets they will invent and rig. They, the abortionists and abortion apologists, want control of our health care and hospice decisions. They have their sites set on our 401K investments. They want open borders and amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. Obama is their straw man/front man. Look again at the economic and infrastructure decay in the Blue States and the major Democratic urban centers. This is your future if you vote Democratic and for Obama. Pretty clear choice.

dB – this bears repeating:
The US flew nearly $12bn in shrink-wrapped $100 bills into Iraq, then distributed the cash with no proper control over who was receiving it and how it was being spent.
The staggering scale of the biggest transfer of cash in the history of the Federal Reserve has been graphically laid bare by a US congressional committee.
In the year after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 nearly 281 million notes, weighing 363 tonnes, were sent from New York to Baghdad for disbursement to Iraqi ministries and US contractors.

Generally an incumbent president is pretty hard to beat when running for re-lection unless the challenging party has an unusually strong candidate, which the Republicans don’t. The stronger Republican candidates are probably waiting until 2016 when they won’t face an incumbent and will have a more sure chance of winning.

Obama effectively has one year to turn around unemployment, the housing market, bankrupcty of the state and local government, and prove that the world is a safer place to be than when he became President. Without those accomplishments, the Democratic party will lose the Senate and have further losses in the house. His threat isn’t from the Republican party, but rather from his own party which may revolt at his inability to solve the major issues of the day. Sure, if the Republicans are stupid and nominate someone who is too far to the right, they may lose. That is what Rove has been saying for months. It’s not going to be anyone but Obama. The electoric in 2012 will be voting out of desperation for leadership not change. If the Democratics and Obama can’t resolve the budge deficit problem along with Medicare and Social Security before 2012, that will be a major demonstration of a lack of leadership. People are angry and some have loss hope and faith in this government doing the right thing.

There is a dynamic coming up in the next few months that could change the odds of an Obama re-election.
What is he going to do about cutting the deficit? Does he fight Republicans in the House? Does he let Harry Reid do his dirty work in the Senate?
Right now, the public really does care about spending, and they are in a much different mood than they were in 1995, with a much more capable President in the White House. If Hope & Change stonewalls cuts and the government gets shut down because of his actions, the GOP isn’t going to be seen as the bad guys this time around.
Could affect his re-election chances, even with the increased turnout of the Dumbest Generation (18-25 year olds) in 2012.

If gas goes to $4/gal, perhaps this time you’ll pay attention to what triggered the last collapse. The housing bubble was a victim of it, not the cause, and all you mental midgets haven’t been paying attention to WHY people could no longer pay their mortgage at the same point in time.
And there are still morons on here thinking $5 gas would be the best thing that ever happened to us because it would force us all to walk to work or use mass transit. Here’s a clue for you…. There wouldn’t be any work to walk to and there wouldn’t be any public funds to increase mass transit capability.

Yep, you just knew knew my full time leghumper was not gonna tolerate part-time leghumpers getting any glory.
Find a new insult. That one’s never worked on me. I’m pretty sure it’s getting tiresome to everyone else although your leftist friends would never say as much.

SoCo, I’ll take even odds on the prez being labeled socialist before this thread is though.
Talk about close but no cigar!
He is a social elitist who favor unions and communists.

Milton,
As my Grandpa used to say, “You can call me what you like, just don’t call me late to supper”.
Actually I’m a pretty civil guy as most here can attest, but when someone, right off the bat, starts name calling and insults, I just have to try to give a little back to see if they can take as well as dish out. My personal opinion is that you can’t take it.
But having said that…you may have some good points to offer, who knows?
I don’t because once I get to the names and insults I quit reading. If you really want to make your point, try being civil…works for me.

I love how the party who got their clocks cleaned just 4 months ago has now proclaimed themselves winners 20 months from now.
And the debate about global warming is over too, eh?
The Leg Lamp is a "major award".....

Speaking of the effects of drugs (no, I’m not talking about Obama), let’s look at your post:
“You far right wingers sure like your drug addicts to do what passing for thinking for you”. Some bad LSD perhaps?

You’ve lost it UinUK.
Are you a fan of Vinyl? Because you just keep spinning it round and round.
Let’s go back to your post – shall we?

dB – this bears repeating:
The US flew nearly $12bn in shrink-wrapped $100 bills into Iraq, then distributed the cash with no proper control over who was receiving it and how it was being spent.
The staggering scale of the biggest transfer of cash in the history of the Federal Reserve has been graphically laid bare by a US congressional committee.
In the year after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 nearly 281 million notes, weighing 363 tonnes, were sent from New York to Baghdad for disbursement to Iraqi ministries and US contractors.
oh, yeah … those GOPpers are fiscal GEEEEEENyusses – great way to run a war
Now the statement about disbursement to US Contractors is not true and the second statement from you about GOPpers sp has nothing to do with the topic at hand. The US was returning Iraqi surplus funds – BACK to the Iraqi government. You’re the one that decided to spin it another way.
Sorry hon – EPIC FAIL!
