Based on the way he's running things right now, he's beating all of his rivals. Based on the way he's running things right now, his lead over them is growing. You're 100% right in that there's a long way to go and it's true anything can happen, but the way he's running things right now, he's getting another 4 years. Employment is rising, GDP is rising, his JAR is rising, his lead over his rivals is rising. I am of the opinion that it's going to take a major economic disaster between now and the election for him to lose.

You forgot, debt is rising, class warfare is increasing, demands are made upon the Churches, and Obamacare ruling is a few months away, the scope of the Federal Govt. is increasing.

We've narrowed it down to four and they're beating each other up pretty badly. Not only does Obama beat all four based on the job he's doing now, but his lead over them is growing.

Romney vs. Obama: +4.3
Gingrich vs. Obama: +10.9
Santorum vs. Obama: +10.3
Paul vs. Obama: + 6.9

If whom one votes for indicates intelligence, that doesn't bode well for a 4-time Bush voter like yourself. :eek:

And despite all of that, Obama still leads all of his rivals and his approval rating is rising.

Face it, unless the economy suddenly tanks, you get to cry about Obama for another 4 years.

Just goes to show what a smile, a good personality, media bias, and total ignorance will do to many people. Why would you vote for Obama with the results he has generated? What is it about liberalism that creates this kind of loyalty?

The same aspect of Liberalism that generated your devoted loyalty to Bush.

Frankly, it's because ignorance is on the rise, and people are collectively getting more dependent. That's not exactly something I would be proud of.

Ignorance is on the rise - on all sides of the political spectrum. Being able to take care of people in their time of need, that's something I would take pride in.

I'd say it's because Obama is doing a pretty good job under the circumstances, and all the GOP candidates blow monkey chunks.

Ahh, yes, the ever popular, "people who vote for (insert name here) must be ignorant," fallacy.

Nice.

Desperate much?

What I can't get over is people who voted for Bush now whining about Obama. It's the apices of irony and hypocrisy.

What about all the people who despised Bush (I was one of them), who now are defending Obama (I am NOT one of them)... what about those people? It's like everyone suddenly forgot what they were so mad about.... You didn't vote for Bush I'm assuming, but you seem rather defensive of Obama, can I ask WHY THE F***?

What is it you're defending? Bush expanded Medicare like whoa. Obama has increased Defense expenditures. You seem smug about something. WTF is it?

Tell you what. I PROMISE I will vote for Obama '12 if he repeals Bush's Medicare D and halves DoD expenditures. Then all he's gotta do is renege on PPACA and he's my hero.

Fat ****ing chance ANY of that'll happen though. He IS Bush. And you love him because he's less idiotic sounding in front of a mic. Easy to please, you are.

The problem liberals seem to have is they cannot comprehend 15.2 trillion dollars and the future costs of that growing debt to our economic existence. The growing govt. isn't an issue for people who think only with their hearts for who wouldn't want to take care of those truly in need. The problem seems to be whose responsibility is that, Federal, State, or local? Most cannot comprehend that a Federal Bureaucrat in D.C. has no knowledge about the social problems in a local community thus wastes the money whereas the individual does know what is going on in the local community and provides immediate and true help to those in need.

Liberalism seems to be an ideology where the focus is on compassionate spending and not compassionate results. What all that spending does is buy votes because it creates dependence.
