Is Obama finished?

[Frodo]

In much the same way Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton's presidencies were pretty much over after 1970, 1982, and 1994 respectively.  I'm still surprised how every historian has ignored the presidencies of George McGovern, Walter Mondale, and Bob Dole.

If President Obama doesn't turn things around in the second (townhall) debate, then yes he would likely be finished.  We would all be talking about the last great triumph of White America with the election of Mitt Romney -this being the last election in U.S. history in which a presidential candidate can be elected to the Presidency primarily on the backs of white voters.

Well, unless you're about 90 years old now, there will be plenty of white Presidents in your lifetime.  In fact, I believe Obama will be the only non white President for some time to come.

Just sayin'.
