#1 "he would 'rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president'"

Here's a clue, Bambi.

You're going to be a mediocre one-term president.

Even Cahtah will look good compared to you.

#2 FOX NEWS AM > "GLENN BECK" Show segment > As the DemoLeft has a clear formal SUPER-MAJORITY in the US SENATE, GELNN-MAN'S MATH > says that. contrary to DEM + MEDIA RHETORIC, the GOP cannot stop OBAMACARE, etc. given their aforesame Supermajority [GOP don't matter in terms of Senate seat numbers] + DEM MAJORITY IN HOUSE.

IOW, BECK > Its NOT the REPUBS that are truly stopping or obstructing OBAMA becuz of their basic lack of numbers in curr Congress, BUT RATHER ITS ELECTION-HAPPY/MINDFUL SCARED DEMOCRATS WHOSE STATE-LOCAL CONSTITUENTS ARE IN TURN SCARED OR SERIOUSLY DISLIKE OBAMA'S LEGISLATION.

#3 OOOOOOPSIES, forgot to add GLENN BECK > PRO-DEMOCRAT + INDEPENDENT OR MODERATE-CENTRIST mainstream Americans dislike what they believe is an attempt by POTUS Bammer + Congressional Dems to impose SOCIALIST-STYLE, OVERWHELMING US GOVT.

#5 Instead of immediately pivoting back to the economy

Prediction of governing as a "centrist" WRONG!
Prediction of conservative "pivot" WRONG!
Barry's "Bolshevik" self descriptor... SPOT ON!

#6 Because of his trio of sins, Obama's job-approval ratings dropped more in his first year than those of any other president in recent times. With each of these sins, many congressional Democrats were at least enablers and often willing co-conspirators. Obama may have led them off a cliff, but they seemed determined to go along.

Well if Barry suggested you all go out and buy a TOYOTA, knowing what you know now, would you ?

The President of all 54 States will definitely surpass the accomplishments, while in office, of President Dewey!

#12 This guys estimates are on the conservative side right now. Senate side, I can see alot more closer races that could end up in the (R) camp.

There are a total of (36) seats up for grabs,
currently the (D)'s and (R)'s are holding (18)each.
