Never underestimate the power of the Democratic party to self-destruct. Obama will be challenged from the Left, the party will split and he'll lose. Jimmy Carter , 1980 ( though I'm not sure how the GOP is going to come up with another Reagan. ) Remember, this is the party that nominated Mike Dukakis and then somehow lost (don't even want to hear about hanging chads - it should never have even been close) with Al Gore in 2000.

Unless the DOW is over 15000 in summer of 2012 he's toast. ( and I think Hillary would have been looking at a second term.)
