His Presidency is shaping up as "Something Really Drastic". I never thought someone would come along and make Jimmy Carter look competent.Unless something really drastic happens, Obama will be relected. Just look at history.
We have:
A President who is in way over his head.
A V.P. who is a loose cannon and a few slices short of a loaf.
And a Secretary of State equally clueless as Obama.
Add to that Tim "TurboTax" Geithner along with persistent unemployment and we'll see Obama thrown out on his ass in 2012.
but carter lost because of the hostage crisis, right/ I mean even with that, it was close.
Depends on your idea of close - It was widely regarded as a landslide, but because Reagan's 1984 election was even more lopsided, folks tend to forget that. As significant as Reagan's victory in 1980 was, he won 525 electoral votes in 1984 - the most of any American president, and nearly 60% of the popular vote.
No President has won more electoral votes than Ronald Reagan in the modern era...
