Yep!The GOP candidates are all jokes, and Obama has had a steady incline in the polls since October. Nationally, he is either tied or is leading any of the GOP candidates.

I doubt it. Obama has faced an opposition stronger than any of those people you mentioned, all put together. None of those other Presidents had the internet and it's myriad of hate filled antagonists. None of the other presidents had a congress too fucking SCARED to have meaningful dialogue because of an entity like the Tea Party.
I see a much tougher Obama if/when he gets re-elected. The ironic thing about it is... the Republicans could potentially unseat him. But they are too enamored with cartoon characters for their Candidates(not surprising). The only semi valid option is Romney... and he seems very much like a sleazy used car salesman(IMO, of course).
The problem with Conservatives in general, and the Tea Party in particular... is that they want all these changes to come wholesale and immediately. I'm sorry... there's way too much resistance for that to happen. Especially when they align themselves with the people who have the world by the ass already. Because simply... there's too many(by a insurmountable margin) who aren't even close to breaking even... let alone having the world by the ass.
In short... You idiots need to revise your gameplan...at least in duration, if not in expectation.
Well, I don't see Romney as a "valid" option. Frankly, I wonder why this guy who has lost nearly every election he has run in is considered "electable", but Rick Perry, who has never lost an election (at least until now) is considered "unelectable".
But I don't seem Obama as being stronger in a second term. He's actually a pretty weak president, and I suspect most of your Democrat brethern secretly wish Hillary had won the nomination in 2008.

Yup, he just might get reelected. Then, your property values will continue to plummet, ever more children will drop below the poverty line, more manufacturing will leave the country, energy costs will soar, more brave law enforcement people will be killed by Holders Fast and Furious bullshit, Congress will continue to take advantage of their immunity from Insider Trading laws, you'll be poorer, and you'll skip happily to the welfare office for your check thinking you're getting one over on "the man", not realizing "the man" is boning you up the ass.

Obama is a lock!! He's got it made! Just look at his record....oh wait.......

Winning percentage/losing percentage doesn't really matter at this stage of the game. I mean, if you want to go with the "hand that brung ya", that's all well and good. But at the Presidential level, I think it goes beyond that.
I vowed in 2008, that I would vote for whoever got the Democratic Nomination. I know that you.. and probably 99.9% of the people on this board will not believe this, but I was a registered Republican up until Bush's second term. Truthfully? I don't give a rat's ass what people on here believe. My parents were both Republicans, so I registered Republican when I was 18... I never voted in primaries, and I always voted GOP in the general. It wasn't till a little later on in life that I became politically active... and I noticed that the GOP was selling out their base. "work hard and achieve" was their mantra, and I believed in it. I believed Ronald Reagan(and I voted for him in 1984... I was too young in '80) and his "trickle down" message. But you know what? I've seen nothing but corruption and money grabs ever since. I DON'T believe in trickle down anymore. I am a hard working citizen who happened to luck into a State job, and I see so many in the private sector just struggling to break even doing as much as I do for the Commonwealth(and it's taxpayers).
The bottom line is... I've been pretty much sheltered because of my employer. It makes me incredibly sad(especially this time of year) to see people, who before the insane idea of "trickle down" were thriving suffer the shit they do in the current state of this country.
My parents... that's just ONE generation ago... Paid off their home in 15 years. They got a Brand new car every other year. They took my siblings and I on vacation EVERY FUCKING YEAR.... and NEVER, EVER had to worry about a HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM.
It wasn't budgeting, it wasn't work ethic.... it was the country treated the working people of America with Respect and Dignity. Companies didn't sell their soul to the Devil to get slave labor. Companies didn't buy(at least to this extent) favorable legislation.
In truth... I am Fucking ashamed I ever was a Republican.... because for the MOST part, they ushered in this era of economic shame.

Exactly. One full time blue collar job used to provide a middle class lifestyle. Now....two barely get you there.

Meh, so what? It won't amount to a hill of beans either way for me. I will still be happy, healthy and successful regardless of who occupies the White House.
If the bonehead Obama is re-elected I know my money is safe for another 4 yrs- because he will not be able to get jack-squat passed. If a republican is elected they'll probably cut taxes. Either way, I win.

Romney - the Christian Right (which now runs the Republican party) doesn't like his religion. Freedom of Religion and Separation of Church and State aren't in their Constitution and Bill of Rights, remember.
