Which part? The one about how we all we kept hearing for the first two years of his presidency was the health care bill, and how he wasn't going to compromise with the republicans because he's got the "numbers" on his side in the house and senate?Your understanding of History is inaccurate.
Not really, Obama is actually in real trouble. If things are this bad with all this time before the elections, and Romney hasn't even really campaigned yet, then what will it be like when it gets closer. This from a pro Obama news source:The writing is on the wall. Unless a major mistake by Romney or his campaign occur, I don't see any way possible that Obama will be reelected. In my opinion the media is actually hiding how bad the polls really are against Obama.Let's face it.
We have an Affirmative Action national media doing their best to prop up our Affirmative Action POTUS.
Both fail.
And yet, Obama is leading in the polls which count the most ...

They keep repeating the mantra that "it's turning around", as if there's any truth to it. But the reality is they are in denial and Americans know they are being BS'd by the media who will do and say anything to get Obama re-elected. Even Democrats who will be voting for Obama know they are being BS'd. At some point in time the media will realize it's a lost cause and throw the white towel in. Here is one of the results of the "change we can believe in" that Americans voted for in 2008:
States, federal government reduce length of jobless benefits | The Lookout - Yahoo! News
Hundreds of thousands of jobless Americans are losing their federal unemployment benefits earlier than they expected due to new rules passed in February that make it harder for states to qualify for extended jobless aid, the New York Times reports. At the height of the recession, Congress passed a law to boost unemployment assistance to up to 99 weeks: The unemployed would receive federal money instead of state funds if they continued to be jobless past the traditional period of six months. In February, Congress extended this law, but added rules that would draw down the number of weeks the government would pay for, based on whether a state's jobless rate had decreased and other factors. Now, only three states still offer 99 weeks of assistance, and all three will stop doing so in September.
More than 5 million Americans have been out of work for more than six months, down from a high of more than 6 million two years ago. Supporters of extending benefits say they stimulate the economy and provide a crucial safety net for vulnerable workers, but those opposed say they discourage people from finding work.
Meanwhile, some states, independently of the federal government, have made it more difficult for people to receive jobless benefits. The National Employment Law Project (NELP), a nonprofit that advocates for more support for unemployed people, filed suit against Florida, saying it wrongfully denied people jobless benefits. The group says only 15 percent of eligible people are receiving unemployment assistance in the state, the lowest rate in the nation. This is due in part to a new law passed last year that requires unemployed people to take an online "skills test" before qualifying to receive the roughly $275 per week in benefits, the Miami Herald reported. The state's unemployment rate has fallen to 8.7 percent from 10.6 percent a year ago.
