1. A dip in the shtick for now...Long Term Bodes Well for the MAN

GOP using Fear Cards left and Right...and a lotta cow chips too.

The one leader in place for the next 3.5 years...and we wanna see him FAIL???

The guy IN PLACE to fix our bad shit to good shit...and we wanna see him destroyed by the hordes of Ankle Biters sent by the

Party of NO?

WTF? Violates Reason, Sanity, and Truth

Obama can bite back with quiet/effective/productive success stories...something the Bushies rejected 8 years ago,

3. Only if he soldifies his base

George H. W. Bush proved what happens to a president who loses his base in 1993.

5. Poppy Bush lost the Presidency in 1992...is that what you meant?

Bush lost indies too...he was very uncaring and out of touch on the economy.

6. He exited office in '93.

Mostly because the GOP base stayed home the previous November.

2. Or to put it more bascially..

Republicans polling remains in the crapper while the Democrats are almost twice as popular.

PANIC!

4. Kicked for the update

:kick:

7. Certainly suggests a clear way for him to get that popularity back, don't it?

the way is clear - but it won't be easy.

8. It's even clearer when you look at the cross tabs

He lost the Republicans long ago and that's flat. He's losing some Independents but his biggest losses are amongst Democrats.
