No. That's not it. Obama can't run on his record. He can't win by a landslide this time. He blasted Bush for a number of things that he is still claiming to this day are keeping him from doing his job, but look at the conservative perception of Obamas record.
Obama has continued every major Bush Jr. policy from foreign affairs to taxes cuts but in a watered down version that renders them useless.
He endlessly apologises for his country being successful to foreign dignitries,
He has reduced employment overall with very few real gains.
Gas is almost double what it was when he took office.
His energy policies have failed on every front from Solyndra to KeyStone to florescent light bulbs.
Even the media is beginning to grudgingly admit that he might be in for a fight this election cycle because he has been an utter failure on every level.
Taxes may very well be higher on the middle class, which will be a hard sell when people actually realize that the Republicans only control 1 branch of government...
Cars are more expensive because of Cash for Clunkers
Homes are losing value still after 3 years...
Guantanamo is still open in spite of his pledge to close it in the first year.
For the first time in history the U.S. has been given less than the highest rating by S&P.
Things are clearly not better after 3 years of Obama. Many poor and middle class families no longer have the audacity to hope for change (Matt Damon said that I believe)
Obamacare has some serious issues and has been challenged all the way to the Supreme Court. That's normal, but the reaction to it by the Bamsters administration is not normal... Regardless, liberals will support him on that until they realize how it will ultimately effect them.
He DID kill Osama Bin Laden, and thats in his favor, but all he did was carry out the exact plan Bush laid out.
It is easier for Obama to lose than it is to win. He will do okay as long as he can manage to keep his past under wraps to fool his base again.
It's an election the Republicans can lose too though. They will probably manage to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory though, unless they get their shit together.
Obama is struggling to keep his base. The Republicans are struggling to get one.
The reality is that if Obama can't get the voters out like he did in the last election, he's sunk.
I think it will be easier for the conservatives to get their people angry enough to vote than it will be for Obama to convince his base that he deserves a second term.
