According to history he probably won't because he's a president during terrible economic times. I would be terrified if Tea Partiers were running my country. Going to be interesting to watch.

Please don't tell me you actually believe this.

I didn't say anything about me believing Obama will be reelected. I was just stating that the last 3 times this happened, (the opposite party taking the House), the current president of the time was re-elected.

Oh God I completely agree; it is awful.

As I said in a different thread, the results probably reflect the opinions of your parents and grandparents (i.e. seniors) moreso than the younger population (see thread on voter apathy).

Also, I saw this coming a mile away...NO ONE is satisfied during hard economic times; hence, they'll pull no stops for Obama. Bad timing for sure. I'm not excusing him for everything, but I'm just saying that the swaying to the other party was predictable just as much as it is stupid.

Re: 2010 Midterm Elections: Goddamnit

the hard part of that argument, however, is that obama was closer to fdr's position than hoover's
obama was elected on not being of the same party as the guys who let the economic collapse happen
the EXTREMELY ****ING MAJOR issue is that this time around, party hostility was higher than ever, so unlike roosevelt's first term in which he got to push a lot of stuff out in a short amount of time, obama's first term ended up at a standstill
if he manages to pull a bill clinton and actually finds a way to do battle/compromise with the republican party, he'll get his second term. if not, well, let's hope the gop ignores pop issues (everyone should have a good idea what i mean by this) and picks someone who has sane economic plans

also the blatant liberalism displayed in this thread is disgusting and all of you should feel like idiots for that
