Will Obama be re-elected in November if the unemployment rate stays over 8%?

most Americans are smart enough to understand that Obama really isn't at fault for this, as the European debt-crisis and China's reaction to it, is playing a large part in all of this.

Let’s take a look at each of these misguided viewpoints. Establishment economists working for the left-wing contingency of America’s fascist government claim that the high unemployment rate is merely a consequence of cyclical unemployment, which is related to changes in demand that occur through business and economic cycles. During the first two years of the Obama presidency, the cyclical unemployment argument was unanimously accepted.
In contrast, establishment economists working for the right-wing contingency of America’s fascist government claim that the persistently high unemployment rate seen in the U.S. is due to structural factors. Thus, according to these hacks, the lack of growth is due to what is known as structural unemployment. More recently, the structural unemployment argument has been disseminated for the sole purpose of increasing the momentum of the Republican Party going into the 2012 elections.

I tried to get through this article. I really did. I think I got as far as the fact that the Jewish mafia runs the president and Kennedy was killed because he wouldn't bow down.
Unemployment will remain high. Fact is, there is no quick fix. There are bad fixes like the the last stimulus and other plans I have seen put forward. The best answer, imo, is to stop with the class warfare drama, stop spending so ridiculously much on wasteful programs, and improve welfare/unemployment programs. This requires accepting that no answer will suddenly bring wealth and a 3% unemployment rate back.
I don't know what it means for the election, though. I find it hard to guess anything with this stuff. I was at a dear friend's house yesterday and when the usual anti-Romney rhetoric came on tv, she gave me the list of Democratic talking points like she was reading a prompter. Then when the 14.4 unemployment rating came on for blacks, it was all about how Bush caused that. I didn't correct her or debate, but her entire household believed that stuff. I have seen similar things with right wing talking points among other business owners. Seems like it will just be another competition for who can energize their base more this time around.
I had to read it twice to be sure I wasn't imagining it.I missed that, but you are right, it is in there. ****ing hilarious.
Improving welfare/unemployment problems really does not solve any problems. While infrastructure is transient jobs, there is a ton of that type work that will need to be done, so why not knock it out now, create some jobs, and down the road have less to spend on that type thing?
I predict, out of desperation, that Obama will start a war with Iran, to "unite" the country, keep the economy off of page one and get the folks all riled up with the usual chants of USA, USA, USA...

Yes. Romney is such a lousy candidate that Obama would have to royally **** up in order for Romney to win.The republicans handed Obama 2012.
Yes, because Obama is not a Republican. The Repubians are done for a while.

Now that is a good question. I think it is entirely possible, but I think it would be really hard. If the September jobs report shows unemployment over 8, I would call Romney the favorite to win in November, barring any other major changes between now and then. If it does drop under 8 by then, Romney is probably in trouble.
when did 8% become acceptable or the new normal?
I hope you were being sarcastic. Obama would not start war with Iran assuming he keeps on the same line as his foreign policy has been
Where did I say it had?
You seemed to suggest it as a decision point for the American populace: over 8% bad, under 8% good. That is a presentation that implies a normal of 8%.
