He can not be underestimated. Besides, who is really out there that can compete?

Was Obama a competitor in Sep 2006? Obama wasn't even a US Senator in Sep 2006.

Perhaps the next president will also sneak up on you like Obama did to Hilary Clinton.

Yes. This was all orchestrated long before hitting the political trail. Obama did not wake up one day and say lets run for president. He was groomed and backed by quite a few. Yes, sir, he was a competitor....the world just did not know it yet.

Well then what makes you think it isn't happening again?

BTW Obama won the senate by default because his opponent was involved in a scandal. Sex.

As stated above. He knows how to motivate people. I strongly believe he will have those that do not normally vote go out and vote again. His campaign was played like a first chair violin. He is by no means a dope. I would say his losing in 2012 is not in 'the bag.'

Obama is doing the same thing to the Dems as Carter. But it may be worse. Subconsciencely, many could be looking toward countries which are also governed as Obama has governed and don't want to be like those countries.

Good one!

Its a nation of 300 million people and their great-great grand children he is giving away.

Economically there are basically two ways to go. You either have policies which draw people up or policies which drag people down. Obama is of the drag people down school.
