(47 posts)14. Obama rocks
I love Obama but let's face it he wouldn't have been elected president if Bush wasn't such a terrible president!
So yes Obama has a lot to do with the coming elections. When the country is happy with the democrat president that's held office then they are apt to vote more democrats.
When the country is fed up and hates their president then the country goes another way.
I am very left and I am happy with president Obama but I was worried that his severely left socialist views would scare off even some of the staunchest liberals. I never expected him to win so easily that first term. I settled in for a long night of vote counting and was shocked that it was all over by 10pm.
But I give credit where credit is due, it's all because of Bush.
