What's happening in this election?

Suddenly the tide appears to be turning drastically against Barack Obama. From Bill Clinton to bad economic news to stupid gaffes...these last few weeks appear to be a disaster.

When my left-leaning political website is full of anti-Obama news, you know it's bad. Today's headlines:

Poll Shows Romney Ahead in Wisconsin
Global Opinion of Obama Slips
Adelson Gives $10 Million to Romney Super PAC
Is It Time for Democrats to Panic?
Obama Loses Both Liberal and Centrist Donors
Romney Nearly Catches Obama Nationally

Unless President Obama completely collapses as a leader the 2012 election is likely to show why President Obama won in 2008. After all, he remains as slick a communicator as Ronald Reagan. If he can have as effective a campaign apparatus in 2012 as in 2008 (which will depend upon keeping the political base intact) he wins.

    

To be honest, I remember hearing Obama's speeches and genuinely being impressed. Since then, he kinda seems flat. Perhaps it's age.

It's been more than just two weeks of bad news.

I read an article a few weeks ago, I can't seem to find it, but it noted a list of negative things that have occurred regarding the President literally on a week by week basis pretty much the last three months.

The Secret Service Scandal - No impliction of the President, but it still shines a negative light on Government institutions

Surpreme Court ripping apart Obamacare

The "Open Mic Indicident" with the Russian President, making Obama seem presumptous

The unemployment rate going UP during the Obama "recovery"

Obama's support for gay marriage which instantly helps Mitt Romney

Scott Walker decisively wins Wisconsin recall

Bill Clinton on Romney's "sterling" business career, undercutting Obama's line of attack on Romney

Bill Clinton on Bush tax cut, undercutting Obama again

Sarah Jessica Parker goofy ad and Hollywood bigwigs

This whole "leak" situation

Now we have this ridiculous illegal immigration stance. That's 11 things off the top of my head which have systematically been bringing the President down. It's not just two weeks of bad news.
