Easy Win for Obama in 2012?

Quote from shortie:

So you massaged the data to get the outcome you wanted. Good luck with this type of strategy!

some interesting data on unemployment under FDR:

Unemployment fell dramatically in Roosevelt's first term, from 25% when he took office to 14.3% in 1937. Afterward, however, it increased to 19.0% in 1938 ('a depression within a depression') and 17.2% in 1939, and stayed high until it almost vanished during World War II

WIKI

Massage the data? Dude, it has not happened in 74 years. And it won't happen again. The independents are long gone. Hell, even his liberal base is gone. Even the blacks are done with him. I've never seen a President who lost virtually every one of his support groups.

.......Obama's approval ratings among independents is lower then Mel Gibson's with Jews. Yeah, it's that bad.

Quote from Maverick74:

Aren't the democrats the ones who have started all but one of the wars of the last 100 years?

Yeah, they love to bitch about it when they are not in power, but then suddenly when a democrat is in charge, going to war becomes a "humanitarian mission" accompanied by cruise missiles made of "love", and tanks made from "tolerance and understanding."

Well, war is the centerpiece to Keynesian economics. It's really the only way they know how to prop up the economy.

74 years is not 74 data points... how many data points with >7.5% unemployment and the president facing re-election do you have? 4-5? and then you go ahead and remove the one that disagrees with your "model".

You should probably stick to what you know best stubby, starting stupid polls.

Easy win with no confidence...something to be truly proud of.

Odumbo doesn't care, just so long as he wins.

I count Afghanistan and Iraq as two separate wars. So Dubya managed to start two of the wars of the last century.
