Is Obama finished?

[Lincoln Republican]

I can see America re-electing a black President.

But I can't see America re-electing an incompetent President.

So you see Romney as being a one-term President if he ever reaches the White House?  I thought you had higher expectations of him than that.

Now now, we all know this thread is about Obama, not Romney.

But thank you for your great sense of humor.

Wow... you're so disciplined, just like the Romney message 'my past is only to be discussed on my terms'.

Oh my, what side of the bed did you get out on this morning?

You should have some faith in your man, Winfield.

So you're admitting that Mitt will win in 2012, and saying that I doubt he will win re-election in 2016. 

[Lincoln Republican]

If Romney loses in 2012, there is no way he runs in 2016.  His time to run will have passed.

2012 is do or die politically for Romney.

This election is winnable for Romney.  I say winnable, not a certainty.  It is far from a certainty, for either candidate I might add.

Romney is running against a candidate who has turned in a less than sterling performance during his term.  12.7 million unemployed, 5 million of them for more than six months.  (CNN)

According to this forecast, unemployment is expected to be 8.4% in October, not a good unemployment number just before the election for a President running for re-election.

So yes, this election is winnable for Romney.

But Romney has to quit shooting from the lip and stay on message.  He has to avoid making gaffes, and he has made plenty of them during this campaign.    

[Lincoln Republican]

The economy needs to be turned around, millions of unemployed Americans are looking for work, the middle east is a powder keg, innocent children and being tortured and murdered on almost a daily basis in Syria, and this President is running ads with Big Bird.

[Lincoln Republican]

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'.

Rubio sounded presidential during the RNC, why not look into him?

He's a good possibility to be on a national ticket someday.
