Up to us to make sure Ubama isn’t the second.
There are plenty of Democrats and even some Republicans who view the Republican primary as a gift to President Obama. Sixteen debates, web videos and “you can’t even make this up†candidate behavior, have provided plenty of fodder for late night comedians and opposition researchers. Meanwhile, frontrunner Mitt Romney has solidified his place on top thanks mostly to the fact that his opponents have imploded.
Even so, three new national polls should give Democrats some serious pause. They show a very vulnerable president who is serious danger of losing re-election.
ABC/Washington Post polling shows Obama’s approval rating at 48 percent. Pollster Gary Langer writes: “In polling since 1940, just four previous presidents have started their re-election year with less than 50 percent approval. Only one of them won, Richard Nixon in 1972.â€
Gallup’s Lydia Saad writes: †Obama’s job approval rating has averaged 44 percent in Gallup Daily tracking since the start of January. That is below the approval rating of seven out of eight previous incumbents at a comparable point in their presidencies.â€
CNN/ORC poll asked voters who they saw as best able to “get the economy moving.†Just 40 percent chose Obama, while 53 percent picked Romney.

This is why the war with Iran won't start till the summer.

Do you feel that you're special calling him Ubama, instead of Obama?

Lots of Republican Presidents have gotten elected when having less than 50 IQ points.

I think it's fair to compare Obama's presidency to Carter and HW Bush; the parallels with each are different, but there are parallels. The fourth was Ford, whose presidency was doomed once he pardoned Nixon, and doesn't apply at all.
