And Boom Goes the Dynamite
Because this headline litteraly made me explode with laughter. Really.
PBS' resident bar stool (or more like pylon) Mark Shields actually thinks Obama, even if he faces Newt Gingrich in the 2012 general election and with the way the economy is going (and what Obama did to make it much, much worse) the current president would win in a landslide.
A landslide? Really? Let's see...
Bush 41 had just routed Iraqi forces out of Kuwait in a major victory and even that couldn't help him win a second term because the economy was bad.
Jimmy Carter couldn't get a second term because of his malfeasance with the economy, even though we was (allegedly) loved by everyone. Sound familiar? He was then resoundingly routed by Ronald Regan.
Bill Clinton had an affair with an intern, lied to his family, America and the world, yet he managed America through a very good economy. Guess what? A second term for Slick Willy.
Bush, jr. had the whole world hating him (or so liberals will tell you) but had a decent economy at the end of his first term. The result, a second term against an ineffectual John Kerry.
But yet Shields seems to think that all that "Yes We Can" crap is still enough to help his friutless leader hold on to the presidency through 2016.

Am I wrong here?
