29. Obama has done about 90% of what he said he would do when elected
Thu Sep 13, 2012, 02:32 PM
Sep 2012

which is far more good stuff than just about any president since LBJ and the 2nd term-3rd term of FDR

that the rest of the democrats took til the 12 convention to start telling people all the good that has been done is the odd part

and when you say the republicans, keep in mind you have crazy ones, and you have ones coordinating for the 16 race, who do not want Mitt to win, becuase if he wins, they can't have Jeb (who had major news yesterday himself saying a book shall come out in late 13 or early 14 and in it will discuss in detail immigration, knowing they need the voters in that demographic that the repubs have so far conceded to the Dems) run against Hillary in 16.

as for Bernie Sanders, well, like Kucinich, they talk a good game and when the votes are needed, vote for Obama and in the privacy of their voting booth, vote for the democrats on the ticket.

It is in the interest of say, Jeb, to make the other repubs look as out of here and crazy as possible, so Jeb can say he is the sane republican, and they will flock to him in 2016, regardless of his name. (Our job is to see he is not anywhere near elected.)

Remember, 7/10 of everything you hear from repubs is just part of the show.
And great politicians play 4-9 steps ahead on their 3d chess board.
(Obama just plays better than them.)

and you will see that the repubs will start coming together out of neccesity as people don't want obstructionists on the repub side(which is why I think so many repub incumbents who have a serious challanger will lose in 2012, and especially in 2014
(Chris Christie for instance, if he was foolish enough to run for reelection will not beat Cory Booker).

The recent repub. rule changes that happened before the repub convention for rules for election 2016 all benefited Jeb (under the guise of being for the good of the party).

just watch.

And be thankful Obama had it so easy to get reelected. (Yes I am talking like it is a sure thing).It is up to Hillary to make sure she secures victory at any and all cost in 16 and 20.
