This will be funny all the way to November. Just watching the party of No aqirm all the way.
The really tough news for Team Obama about this long GOP primary season? Mitt Romney will win the GOP nomination.
The other tough news for Team Obama is that in the General Election chances are their candidate will still be Barack Obama.
I am sorry but I heard David Axelrod say this was going to be a hard race and very close. He said, "47% voted against President Obama in 2008 and that was with the wind at his back." He also said, "this is going to be very close and hard fought all the way"! No where did I hear the word "Giddy".
ck gas prices lately .. home values.. over 8 % unemployed....that will wipe that smerk off your face...
4 More Years!!!!!! Obama/Biden 2012!!
LAugh Now Cry Later
Every negative ad that one republican runs against another benefits Pres. Obama. The candidates understand that mud is "just business", but their supporters often do not. Romney is going to have a tough time uniting the GOP after his scorched-earth campaign.
No thanks vote for presdient obama 20012
Giddy. Is that why the 17 min. doc to refute the new exposes that Hannity showed tonight? And btw, Gallup now has him at 45% again. And Ras does too. I would not be too giddy until not only the economy picks up but that Bama himself is finally vetted as the worse radical Prez in our history. Issues still matter to more than 50% of our voters though the lemmings do not care as long as they get their food stamps, and entitlements our tax payer's pocketbooks. Amnesia must take place for those 50% on Obamacare, energy scandals before they MSM and their clown can get giddy.
Refrain from calculating your juvenile poultry before the process of incubation is entirely materialized.
Gosh I hope so but it all hinges on voter turnout and we will have to work on that: 40% voter turnout= GOP landslide 50% we have a chance, 60% Obama landslide. We know it they know it. Why do you think GOP state legislatures and governors are working so hard to keep everyone from voting? We must stand up to their efforts, They are well funded and motivated. Vote! While you still can.
The bonehead thinks he has the election wrapped up. Just the way of some who knows not what to do.
President Obama needs to start running attack ads against willard in each primary state as they unfold. Not tons, but enough to counter some of willards big cash advantage. He is going to be the nominee so best to keep him fighting, keep him in the Krazy Klown Kar primary, and best to let voters know in every state of the US what a dirt bag willard mittens romney really is. romney decreed yesterday that his underlings in the republicon race should bow down before hime and swear their allegience to his excellency mittens.
I am sure, they are not „giddy“. To have a big part of Congress, Senate and some of the GOP/TP States, not working to move forward to find solutions for the country’s problems is a sad state of affairs! To put all efforts into “….one term…” is not a program but an insult!
I am convinced, the President would much prefer to have a real exchange of ideas with honest and upright competitors than to watch the clown car making stupid comments and putting the people and country in jeopardy!
It is time to get the game on let's go obama time to rock the house grahamslam
You know things are bad for the teapublikans when they, after all these months of assault on the American public, are still looking for somebody to lead the party of NO and hate.
Pathetic when what's her face wants to step in to save the day but it would be to really sink your party into oblivion.
What really improves President Obama's chances is that the GOBP's entire platform and campaign consists of "We don't change, we don't apologize and we don't learn from our mistakes. We're just more of the same failed stuff that messed up America to begin with. However, we are very white, and that should be enough."
