I beg to differ, I think we are exactly in the same spot in that we were in with Bill Clinton and the Republicans taking over the House.
I do not believe that Obama will be a one-term president. America has a very short memory, and I believe in two years, the Democrats will spin the "party of no" has stopped the president from being able to further correct the economy, "take us into more debt," and has also kept him from doing some of the legislation that he would like to do, "Crap and Tax," Amnesty, ect.
I believe Obama will win the public's support in the next two years and will win re-election, just as Bill Clinton did. Remember, Bill Clinton had less public support after two years into his first term than Obama does. I believe that is right. I read that somewhere. I'll try and see if I can find the numbers in a minute. Edit: After some research, Obama's approval rating is at 47% and Clinton's approval at the same time in his presidency was 42%. So yes, Barack Obama has a higher approval rating that both Clinton, and from another article, it is higher than Reagan's. We indeed are in a lot of trouble here. It seems more Americans now are willing to go along with Obama's Marxist agenda. Its truly sad and very disturbing.
I think we will definitely see an Obama 2nd term.
Anyway, we are in the exact place during the first two years of the Clinton presidency. Plus, if the Fibbies decide to let another wackjob right-winger do another OKC bombing, or allow another jihadist to do another 9/11, he'll be in like flint into his next presidential term.
Just keep your eyes people for another domestic terror attack. Then maybe even more Patriot Act legislation.
You know what, its very strange that Obama seemed sad and subdued in his speech, because I saw an article that I didn't believe the other day. It was supposedly from a "White House insider" that said that Obama was being professionally treated for depression from being overly sad and subdued lately, and that his entire admin was in-fighting and losing hope in him. Interesting. :-k
White House Insider: Obama Battling Severe Depression
"President Obama is emotionally shutting down. He is a terribly depressed man."

When I read it, I didn't believe it, but now that you say he seemed sad and subdued, maybe there is some truth to the story.. who knows.
The same author also predicted Rahm leaving a month before it was announced, so who knows... maybe a real Deep Throat inside the Obama Administration... maybe it is Rahm himself... who knows....
