Obama will win in November. I think. I’m not sayin’ I want him to, and I’m not sayin’ I don’t want him to, cause I’m not sayin’ who I vote for, or how much money I make/have, or whom I’m having sex with, cause my folks raised me to not say those things. I’m just saying, Obama will win. Why?
Well, I’m no genius (understatement of the year, though I would like to point out the year is only 18 days old), but it’s a known fact the the incumbent rarely looses. (Of course Jimmy Carter lost to Ronny Reagan in 1980.)
In part ‘cause they have the plane, the pulpit, the press, stockpiled funds, and recent positive accomplishments to boast. But it’s mostly, the old slipper syndrome. If the slippers fit n’ feel fine, don’t vote ‘em out.
About half that don’t like Obama at all, and never did, won’t vote for him, same as the last election. But the half that do like him, and always did, will vote for him—same as last election.
If you did like and vote for him, but now aren’t sure he’s made good on lots or most of his promises, and because of that you feel you might be likin’ him less, well then, you’re in the group whom I feel will, when it comes down to it, stick with the old slipper—you’ll vote for Barack; the majority of you, that is.
Why would you not vote for him? You really don’t know if ObamaCare will or won’t work, so you won’t judge him poorly on that. Sure, you might be miffed and surprised he’s unable to strong-arm GOP congressman and senators, but you’re really not sure of the specifics he’s bungled by not keeping them in line. So, you won’t hold his pussy-footin’-roun’ the GOP players against him either.
