I hope that the Democrats don’t have any second thoughts about running Obama for re-election in 2012. Why would we want to run against a fresh face? In Obama we have a candidate with a record that includes:
- 20% under/unemployment.
- $4.00 - $5.00 gasoline.
- Skyrocketing food prices.
- Dropping home prices with record number of people underwater in their mortgages.
- Skyrocketing deficits measured in trillions, not billions.
- ObamaCare that most people hate.
- Promises of higher taxes.
- Medicare going bankrupt.
- Social security going bankrupt.
This is a president who can’t run on his record.
Who wants another 4 years of what we have just gone through?
Why would we want to see the Democrats put anyone else up?
Instalanche: Thanks Glenn.

So who said "I hope the Democrats run Obama" first? You or Rush?

RUSH: You know what I hope. I actually hope that the Democrats run Obama for reelection. You know all this talk about who's the Republican nominee gonna be? Sarah Palin has her bus tour starting, and the media's rubbing their hands together with glee, "Oh, goody, oh, we at the White House, goody, gee." They hope Sarah Palin's the nominee, oh, it would be a slam-dunk. Let me tell you something. I hope they run Obama, folks. I mean just wind him up and he says it's my fault. Here we've got a sitting president who cannot run for reelection by saying, "You want more of what I've already done?" They can't promise more of the same, because nobody wants more of the same. They can't run on the record. They cannot. They've gotta turn this election about something other than Obama.
You forgot to add:
-Three wars, one with a record death toll
-unguarded southern border
-Obama's leadership left his own Democrat Party with an 800+ seat loss last November
-foreign policy disasters
-record number of golf games DURING ALL THIS
You would think the Republicans would be on this like white on rice. But we haven't heard a peep out of them for four months. Hate her all you want, but when Pelosi ran the House, things got done. This bunch seems content to keep us from remembering who they even are.
I wish I could be as optimistic, but I think this is Obama's election to lose. As unfortunately, it's not going to be about Obama's record, but about the Republican nominee as the MSM goes into full attack mode to protect Obama.
So instead I think it's going to take a huge mistake by Obama, something so big that the MSM can't cover up, or the economy totally tanking for Obama to lose.
I hope it's possible to force Obama to run on his disaster of a record, but the MSM is going to do everything it can to prevent that from happening.
First, it's ALWAYS the incumbent's race to lose, for an election is basically an referendum on him or her. Second, of course the MSM is going into full-pimp mode for Obama. But, if anything they have fewer rather than more people listening to them now than 4 years ago. And probably fewer trusting them also. And the country has already had it's "I feel good 'cause I voted for the black guy" moment. Now, when the media screams "raaaacist", people laugh.
In 2012, it will not be about an unknown quantity with a funny name that sprouts vacuous slogans and lets the unwashed masses project their hopes on him; it will be a career Chicago pol with a record of tone-deafness and incompetence. I won't say he's gonna lose but his job is a WHOLE lot harder now.
OK but here's how Obama wins anyway: the anti-Obama vote in the election is split between the Republican candidate and a Tea Party candidate. This is how Clinton won in 1992 and how Bush II won in 2000 , a third party candidate split their opposition votes (Perot and Nader, respectively).
food stamps. don't forget those 45 million people collecting FS rather than a paycheck.
Yes, it would be a disaster for them if they decided to do so. In 2008, his slogan was "Yes, we can." In 2012, it will be, "Oops! We didn't!"
I still believe Obama will change his mind and not run again. He's never stayed at any job too long.
I'm also surprised Hillary isn't in Iowa campaigning yet.
