>LOL - I am sure you know why. What I wonder is why he had so much support back in 2008? I could see what was coming from a mile away - heck he flat out told people what he was going to do - remember? He said "Energy prices will necessarily sky-rocket". P T Barnum was right.

>Many saw what was coming - but the problem was that the Republican party had become so discredited by late 2008 that the vote was clearly an anti-Bush vote more than a pro-Obama vote. Most U.S. presidents have been two-faced at various times, but this president has taken it to an art form. On the one hand, this adminstration talks about the huge cost of the Iraqi war (and of course, Obama vacillated between 2003 and 2007 on his support of the Iraqi invasion)...and on the other hand, Joe Biden shoots his mouth off about Iraq being an example of democracy.

>What I fear is that the Republican party hasn't learned the lessons of 2008....sure, they had a decent (but not huge) victory in the Nov 2010 elections, but I don't see an emerging candidate who can beat Obama. There are individual specific things about Huckabee and Romney that I like, but I don't see either one beating Obama. Very sad...

Agreed - Huckabee or Romney are not showing much in the way of strong leadership. What do you think of John Bolton?
