Does anyone here still believe Obama can win re-election w/o healthcare?

CAN win re-election?

He has a 54 percent approval rating, in a recession, during multiple unpopular international crises that we are involved in, with a unemployment rate of over 10 percent(the highest its been since IIRC the great depression), i mean the list goes on.. Hes been in office what.. 7-8 months now? How the hell is anyone supposed to even begin to speculate with that little time in office with no catastrophes or w/e.

A better question would have been, Do you think BO will seek/win reelection?

Sure he can.

Honestly, if he can keep MOST of his campaign promises, without touching healthcare, I'd be fine with it.

^^ Seriously. Im so sick of hearing about this health care s***. We dont have the resources for this massive 'democratic' bill that is being mulled over. Its just frusterating like... 10 TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF DEBT. FFS, how are you going to expect a citizen to be responsible when we got 10 TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF DEBT. Especially when your leading the way with programs that burn up billions of dollars in a fraction of the time that was expected. Its a huge success! We spent all our allocated money! FTW! Give us more!

Absolutely. The fact that the American people re-elected Bush after the mistakes he made during the 9/11 catastrophe is proof positive that anything can happen. Hell, as bad as things are now, chances are no one will want to run against him! The only thing worse than inheriting the mess Bush passed onto him would be the mess that he will eventually pass on to someone else.

Way too early to say. Even if he gets a HC bill passed, it could still fall on its face. Unless he really screws up the HC bill, I dont think it'll define his first term.
