The only difference between the two is that things are not looking up for Obama. In fact, there's a chance things will get worse. He has the luxury of the GOP running a bunch of crazies that he could beat with a 40% approval rating on election day.

No President gets reelected with a 40% approval rating. 

Prove it.

Counter-proof: Harry S. Truman. His approval ratings, not surprisingly, went north and south with the position of the UN forces in Korea in a frontal war with clear advances and setbacks, not to mention the prospect at one point of utter defeat. The last Gallup poll for him (September) showed his Presidency on the brink of defeat. Gallup quit publishing polls that month out of a concern that such polls might influence the results.

You do remember the headline of the Chicago Tribune:

DEWEY WINS

Some people were very confident that Harry Truman would lose  -- big -- having been such an abject failure. There was even a song made for the occasion:

Congratulations! Tom Dewey.
You won by a landslide today
Through thick and through thin
We knew you would win
'Cause who'd ever vote
To let Truman stay in!
Congratulations, Tom Dewey
Your republican dreams have come true!
Here's a victory roar
For President Number Thirty-Four!
The White House is waiting for you!

Election Day 1948 was an abject disaster for Republicans. Truman was gaining on the Republicans throughout the early autumn of 1948, and a bunch of Republican Congressmen elected in 1946 were defeated. The only big positive for the Republicans was that they held an open seat in Michigan with a young lawyer named Gerald Ford.

Poll Lucifer... might as well now.

Two snowmen are standing in a meadow.

One snowman turns to the other and says, "Do you smell carrots?"

Cool. Do me.

Seduction is more suitable for personal messaging. It may not be in the TOS but consider it an unwritten rule of forumgoers.

Rick Perry would be posting partially completed statements because he couldn't remember the rest of what he wanted to say.

Please delete that, Snowstalker. It's disturbing and no one wants to see that.

I've been wondering all my life.

Carrie Underwood rose to fame in 2005, which means that you are seven years old.  That might explain why you posted this thread in the U.S. General Discussion board.

How does Landslide Lyndon avoid being on this list?

Easy, he wasn't nominated.

I just read the first 111 pages of this thread and have come to the conclusion that only someone with no friends would read the first 111 pages of this thread.

I'd rather read 111 pages of pbrower's posting history than do that. Seriously.
