Re: Obama XXIII: The Muslin Anti-Christ Wages War on the forces of Christianity!
Obama's done a good job given the situation and the mindless wall of opposition he's had to work with. Obviously the far right has their crazy conspiracy theories about him and the center right has been trained to hate him for the sin of having a (D) after his name. They don't matter, they aren't in play any way. The other 2/3rds of the country are in play and he seems to be doing well enough with them to be reelected. His most coherent critics are among the movement left, and 2000 showed them they have nowhere else to go unless they want to plunge the country back into the nightmare of the Bush years.
So, barring some sort of cataclysm, Obama ought to win win about as comfortably as in 2008 against Romney, or in a rout against Santorum; nobody on the right will learn any lessons about abandoning their failed policies or their suicidal demographic isolation, and we'll have at least 2 more years of gridlock after which he might get a more rational House to work with.
The funny thing about all the puffed up bloviation from the VRWC is that, like Clinton before him, Obama has governed center-right and will be remembered down the line as an uncontroversial centrist like Ike, JFK, or Bush I. Talk about much ado about nothing...
The right is fascinated by Hillary as a way to cause the same sort of fight among the Dems that the GOP is currently having. She also has ego issues that always make it look like she might put her own career interests ahead of everything else including sense. Therefore the Ailes types float her as a possibility, just for kicks. It's concern trolling.
