Why Obama Will Win the Election – And One Reason to Believe he Won’t [Reader Post]

This is another one of those topics I’ve had kicking around for a while and since it will become irrelevant in 48 hours now seemed as good a time as any to wrap things up. This will be one of my posts that will give everyone something to hate. Most of this post is things I’ve been saying since 2009 – the subject has angered my conservative friends for obvious reasons, while the reasons behind my conclusions don’t go over well with my leftist friends. Since early in his presidency I have asserted that President Obama would get re-elected in 2012 no matter who he ran against, and regardless of how badly he does the job of president.

Why are Conservatives Complaining About Obama’s Appearance on The View? [Reader Post]

he was yukking it up on The View where he made what may have been the most honest assessment of his presidency, “I’m just the eye candy.” Even the court eunuchs in the mainstream press couldn’t ignore this one, and Obama took on some friendly fire from his own. Conservatives naturally blasted Obama for this, but I say… “So what?”

Yes, I agree that the president should be acting like, well, a leader. That’s just not one of his skill sets – anyone who did any homework on his background knows that he’s never had a real leadership role (much less a real job) in his life. He’s never shown any aptitude to be a leader, so why would we expect him to behave like one?
