Well, if you want the "R" to win you better HOPE CHANGE happens!
Hmmm, so besides the Oil Spill Disaster... That could happen to any president, want to clue us in on the record???
I'd find it interesting to hear from a "R" prospective.
The record:
Start with the oil spill, sure it could have happened to anyone, but it happened to Obama and he will pay the price for it just like Bush paid the price for Katrina.
Obamacare, I know you libs love it, but the rest of the country does not and look at the new reports coming straight from the government about people having to change plans. One of the big selling points of the bill was the ability to keep your current plan, with that out the window expect even more calls for it to be repealed.
Jobs, the unemployment rate is horrible and it is not getting better. We should be seeing an improving job market month after month at this point and we are not. Obama and his team have no clue how to create jobs and instead are killing them via big spending, healthcare 'reform' and a general sense of uncertainty for the market.
Spending and debt, he makes Bush look cheap and with the crisis in Greece, Spain and other places in Europe we may finally get to the point that people realize we can't keep spending like mad forever.
Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on terror. Sure he is following Bush's lead in much of this, but Obama ran on a platform of doing something different and he didn't. This takes away his ability to talk about these areas and to paint a rosy picture about removing troops and closing gitmo and civil liberties and anything else. Instead he will have to defend following Bush policies which will lead to the irony that the right will be more in agreement with his decisions than the left and he is not going to get a lot of votes from the right.
Incompetence. Probably the biggest threat to Obama's presidency. One of his biggest selling points was he competency. He sounded good, he debated good, he ran a good campaign. Sure he had no experience, but he seemed to be so well put together that people expected him to be a great president. But that is all unravelling now and the BP oil spill is the catalyst. But there were signed of problems prior to that. Giving the British PM DVDs with the wrong region coding, bowing to people when the proper protocol was something else etc etc. The Obama White House looks to be run by a bunch of amateurs.
Conclusion: A lot of the things above may appear to be little things, but they all add up to big trouble for Obama. He is no longer the promised candidate who rides a unicorn and is loved by the world. Instead he is a president who has a LOT of problems and who is having a hard time dealing with those problems and I expect it is only going to get worse as time goes on.
