Politics, short term memory of Americans, and the burning desire for instant gratification stuns me.
The Republicans are all screaming about the deficit and blaming it on Obama, while quietly ignoring the fact that Bush, the prior two term Republican President, not only left us with this huge deficit but also blames Obama for not fixing it. I understand we've come to expect instant gratification here, but this isn't going to be fixed over night. If it's that easy to fix, why didn't Bush fix it before he left office?
I think Obama is doing "well under the circumstance". The United States hasn't been this low in the past fifty years. This is difficult. But clearly he isn't the wonder boy promised to us. Anyone who believe that shit is stupid.
Will Obama win a second term? Maybe. Depends on what the Republicans put up against him. Palin won't cut it; She's a joke. The Republican party forgot the most important part of the presidential election - They put McCain (old and ugly) against a young black and youthful looking black man. If they try to put up an old man against Obama again, they'll loose. They need someone who looks like he's not going to die with his next breath.
