Imagine if the GOP was able to stick to actual things Obama does wrong, without pandering to the crazy right-wing fringe and making up ridiculous fabrications to criticize him about? What would it be like if Bloomberg or someone else with sanity was the Republican candidate and campaigned on the idea that Gitmo should be closed already, the BP oil spill should have been prevented o handled better, stricter banking regulations should be in place by now, etc etc etc... That candidate would have a 20 point lead right now and I'd be voting for him.
Instead the GOP ran Bachman, Cain, Santorum and Perry. The best they could do was a habitual liar like Mitt who has already given away the Hispanic vote, black vote, female vote, elderly vote, gay vote and so on to the point where an incumbent presiding over the worst economy since the Great Depression is likely be be reelected anyway.
The problem isn't Obama... The problem is the Republican primary cant get a sane person with clear views nominated. The best people won't even run a campaign anymore. Bloomberg, Rubio, Christie? They would never win the Republican primaries because they aren't crazy religious zealots with small minded views and ignorant militancy toward the rest of the world.
