President Obama and his closest advisers are pushing back at the notion Obama is a one-term president doomed for defeat in 2012.
Obama’s top political adviser on Friday issued a memo to the Sunday news show producers and other reporters that concludes Obama is in strong shape for another four years in the Oval Office.
The memo from Obama guru David Axelrod noted that the president has strong support from Hispanics, the fastest-growing segment of the population, and that GOP approval numbers are in the dumps.
Obama himself took aim at the doubts while speaking at a Democratic fundraiser on Thursday night. He insisted his odds of winning reelection are better than what his chances were for winning the White House in 2008.
“Now, I know that, over the last couple of months, there have been Democrats who voiced concerns and nervousness about, well, in this kind of economy, isn’t this just — aren’t these just huge headwinds in terms of your reelection?” Obama said.

From this same story, farther down: "A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday found Obama leading Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, 51 percent to 39. The same poll had Obama ahead of Perry, the Texas governor, 51 percent to 39."
Gee, it's really hard to understand why "Obama and his closest advisers are pushing back at the notion Obama is a one-term president doomed for defeat in 2012."
The best thing (maybe the only thing) Obama has going for him is that he gets to run against what the Republicans have to offer.
I sure would like to know who these idiots are who don't like how he is handling the economy but who would re-elect Obama anyway. What is wrong with these people? It is just like California; California is going bankrupt under Democrats, so Californias elect more Democrats and Jerry Brown. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!
I am convinced that Obama is going to get re-elected. A majority of Americans have become stupid.

People are getting paid to say that. God help this country because his 4 years are four too many. There is no improvement in the status of this country since he was elected and Americans should wake up to that fact. that he has ruined the U.S.A. His croonies are blind.
No improvement?
It's far worse than that. It is in serious decline.
Hes History as Far as i am concerned. The left can say what they want, But hes History and Amen to that!
Not so quick.
People from other countries that are not even citizens voting, I'm sure there will
be all kinds of other election fraud. Plus his attempts to stir up some riots and
thereby declare martial law?

Obama is a clueless underqualified, failed community oganizer who apparently failed as legal counsel for the criminals at ACORN as well, seemingly badly enough so he can no longe legally practice law. We don't really know since he will not ,make his records available and he should long ago have been MADE to release them after all the questions about his elegibility and his Social Security numbers, pretty much all fraudulent, and his passport for the 1981 trip to an at the time proscribed Pakistan.He should be inpeached also for multiple violations of his office and abrogation of his constitutional OBLIGATION TO ENFORCE, NOT AMEND OUR LAWS UNILATERALLY. If Congress were not as corrupt as the President, we would not be in the situation we see today.Period.
God help us if he gets re-elected!!! I couldn't stand another 4 years of Obamannation!
It is the "left" that betrays American values, traditions and America itself, not the right. Lets start with Obama's faults, records and history before we attack any conservative, male or female. It is about time!

Propaganda for the left is a tool that they have perfected. They think they can can tell the people with the help of the leftest media that Obama is going to be reelected for his strength of what he's pushed through the Democratic house and senate, Obamacare, Frank/Dodd Financial banking bill, lets face it, in the real world of the American electoriate he is a weak looking President with only Taxing and Spending on his mind, trying to make it look like the Republican controlled house is the force stopping his Jobs Bill.
The Jobs bill was not even taken up by the Democrats to get it into the house for debate, in fact the name of the Jobs Bill was taken by a Republican for another bill put forth in the house. What a weak joke Obama really is.
