You are right it did not go that well for him, but it was not all his fault! It was both sides fault.
The American people want solutions not excuses.
Write it up in the history books anyway you want. Obama = you're fired!

We do want solutions, so fire your Republican congressman. It's Republican Obstructionism not Obama who are responsible for not addressing America's issues.edit on 25-1-2012 by averageGuy505 because: (no reason given)

I just started watching it a few minutes ago, but so far I am actually very positively surprised, at least by his statements about taxation and deficit.
So far so good!

The 2008 campaign was the costliest in history, with a record-shattering $5.3 billion in spending by candidates, political parties and interest groups on the congressional and presidential races.
Several political pundits predict that President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign could report spending $1 billion by Election Day. If he does, it will only be a small fraction of the amount an off-beat White House hopeful named Lee Mercer claims to have spent on his own campaign so far.

I just heard that Obama is spending 725 million on his campaign this year...I'll look to see if I can find anything to back that up...but worth noting!
I heard this at a college campus...in an American Government class...from the professor!
ETA: I should say his campaigner's are spending...we all know that the POTUS wouldn't do that!
Seems about right considering the 2008 numbers...

If the unemployment rate is 11% Obama can say whatever he wants.
He will not get re-elected.

That cash is going to the networks who run the attack ads.
I guess ABC,NBC,CBS & CNN will smile as that cash falls into their bank accounts.
I see a quid pro quo.

It would be about 16 bucks per person, roughly.
Hey, buy me a pizza , buy my vote.
After RP they are all the same.
