I think Obama will win because people will not want Republicans in power as they will CUT, CUT, CUT.
No one wants to give up their piece of the pie.
More are dependent on the government for one benefit or another and will NOT give it up.
Our dollar is worth about $.15 now with the funny money being printed up in the billions each month.

We are living on borrowed time. Too bad the majority don't see that.

3) The situation is extremely fluid: who would have thought a couple of months ago about Libya or the nuclear disaster in Japan? And who knows what may happen next...

A lot of presidents had lower approval ratings at this time in their tenure and got re-elected, so I'm not sure you're right.

Doesn't Obama hold the record for the most promises broken? Gitmo is still open, troops are still in
Afghanistan, the federal government has exempted companies from having to comply with health care reform....... I could go on and on.

Sp pretty much everything you wanted him to do. Don't act like you wanted Guantanamo closed, not exempt the companies etc.

What I think does't matter. What matters is that this POTUS failed to deliver on his promises. As far as hope and change...........? He didn't even come close.

Actually, he's doing pretty well at keeping promises if you actually bother to check the numbers. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...ameter/browse/

Your link is biased and has no credibility with me. Obama promised to bring troops home from Afghanistan emphatically. What is up with the troops still being in Afghanistan? Is Obama a liar?

That is not what it is about...it is about that he is saying things he doesn't do and flip flops.

There is already proof that Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling under Bush..., so does he really want to go there...

The man should be out sooner than later. I never saw a person who is campaigning for years and years and never behaved as the President of the USA. He is really winning one award; Worst president ever!
