Barack Obama is facing his Jimmy Carter moment (http://Barack Obama is facing his Jimmy Carter moment)
*As Mitt Romney closes the gap, it is 1980 all over again for the man in the Oval Office*
Until recently, Barack Obama’s re-election was regarded as inevitable – in the same way that summer follows spring, or a monsoon follows a hosepipe ban. The president’s poll lead over Mitt Romney was strong, while the Republican’s character was assassinated by a primary fight that permanently spoiled the reputation of his party. To court the GOP’s conservative base, Romney was forced to adopt positions on abortion, contraception, health care and welfare that are thought to be unpopular among moderate swing voters. Obama, by contrast, is the man who killed bin Laden and toppled Gaddafi. A choice between Obama the moderate statesman and Romney the craven conservative is surely no contest at all.
But in the last two weeks, things have changed. Obama’s re-election is no longer guaranteed; some pollsters think it is unlikely. Day by day, the odds are improving that Mitt Romney will be the next President of the United States.

I look for the signs; I look for them every day. And I've seen this coming for a while now; at least a year. He cannot run on his record. People are tired of his FAIL, his BS, and his broken promises. He's an empty suit. He follows his agenda and doesn't care about us.
"It's the economy, stupid" and he didn't deliver.
Unless he can find a way to pull a late October surprise - and a damn good one - he's gonna lose this election.
