Yes, he's toast, I'd be very surprised to see him make a second term.

Obama Toast?

Personally i think Obama's presidency was destined to be 1 term presidency the instant he took office.

Well, his chief of staff and secretary of state are leaving 2012. Turnover of staff and cabinet members is not an indicator of really anything.

I like toast. I don't like Obama. Therefore Obama can not be toast.

Perhaps a waffle.

Aren't you in the area where Waffle House is the rule rather than exception?

Obama will win another term and it is not for his record/current administration or how well he runs a campaign.

You heard it here first. :03:

Nate Silver is one of the sharpest political guys out there.

Good for Nate! :yeah: Obama is still winning.

Actually I still don't think he's toast. He's not done anything to earn a 2nd term, that much is true, but the GOP opposition is not looking very strong at the moment either.

shoulda left it in the toaster a little longer.

lol

As for Obama, I was tired of all the portrayals of him as either some demi-Jesus of America's Hope on the one hand, or the socialist he-who-must-always-be-named on the other. He's neither, and what I think most people failed to see when he was going in was that he was something far more banal - a fast-dealing Chicago politician. And that is exactly how he's acted in his time in office, no more no less.

Well im not American but if I was, I think the Republicans would actually get my vote if Ron Paul was running, I dont like that hes a pro-lifer, but other than that, the guy makes quite alot of sense to me.
But Id rather have Obama than some moron like Sarah Palin.
But like I said, Im not American - so good luck with it.

It will not matter how he portrays himself in the upcoming campaign which he has kicked off. He will not win on merit. He will not win for his current administration. He will not loose to any Republican candidate However, he will win.

Ron Paul has no chance.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Isn't it indifferent wich president that sit in the white house in the next period?

This coming president have-to say it nicely- a real tuff job to do and he/she have to do something that would make him/her the most hated person in USA.

Raise taxes, cut military costs, cut other things (in wich I can't remember the name)
