Barack Hussein Obama is one of the most mediocre Presidents. He doesn’t understand economic reality and supports Islamic causes. Obama is a 3rd World Liberation Ideologue and on paper should be easy to knock off. The reality is he might win re-election anyway. It hasn’t to do with how lame the GOP field is, it’s about one thing: His color.
Many of the Republican presidential hopefuls should be able to beat President Obama in 2012. This president has a track record now and, thus, many vulnerabilities. If he is not our “worst president,” as Donald Trump would have it, his sweeping domestic initiatives—especially his stimulus package and health-care reform—were so jerry-built and high-handed that they generated a virtual revolution in America’s normally subdued middle class.

The problem Mr. Obama poses for Republicans is that there has always been a disconnect between his actual performance and his appeal. If Hurricane Katrina irretrievably stained George W. Bush, the BP oil spill left no lasting mark on this president. Mr. Obama’s utter confusion in the face of the “Arab spring” has nudged his job-approval numbers down, but not his likability numbers, which Gallup has at a respectable 47.6%. In the mainstream media there has been a willingness to forgive this president his mistakes, to see him as an innocent in an impossible world. Why?

What gives Mr. Obama a cultural charisma that most Republicans cannot have? First, he represents a truly inspiring American exceptionalism: He is the first black in the entire history of Western civilization to lead a Western nation—and the most powerful nation in the world at that. And so not only is he the most powerful black man in recorded history, but he reached this apex only through the good offices of the great American democracy
This explains why despite a lousy performance. Obama stays in the upper 40’s. It’s because Americans don’t want to vote out the 1st supposed (he’s Mulatto) Black President. The Republicans are scared to go after him with gloves off. If Republicans don’t fight and offer a clear alternative, they will have no one to blame. Take the fight to Obama and ignore calls of racism. People love fighters not pushovers.
