If that's what the left says of Obama, then I think America is about to take one giant step for the mankind and elect a republican in 2012. That will be a historic moment folks, watch out brace yourselves! MSNBC: Obama's approval ratings are in the weeds http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44358736/ns/politics-white_house/
I think the country will re-elect Obama simply because of the circus freaks running on the GOP ticket. People remember how republicans destroyed this country. And they are being reminded with the **********s.
The left thinks Obama is weak and not very liberal. The right hates Obama. The center likes Obama (and dislikes the left and right) but thinks he is a weak leader. This all came out in the Pew polls. Don't put too much into it. The left will still back Obama over anyone on the right. And moderates will back Obama over anyone extreme.
I don't follow. The outcome is far from certain at this point. We don't know who the GOP candidate is, how the economy will change, what weird stuff will happen, or how the media will portray the GOP candidate.
