He will still have a democratic majority in Congress when he gets re-elected in 2012. He has not been effective at all, but W set the Republican party back so far that the dems could run Pol Pot and get him elected.
Oh, and i'm still waiting for you to get back to me from like 5 years ago on why Asians and Jewish people also vote strongly democratic. You always seem to forget that they are part of 'Da base' as well.
You said that you would look into it. Anything yet?
I don't think so Matt--In fact would say their chance of having majority after 2010.
From a history standpoint most pres that come into power during recession have good chance that things will correct (by themselves for most part) Reagan and GW last 2 examples.
Believe things will not look so rosey by 2010--in fact could be much worse.
In addition -the O myths that he ran on have been exposed.
--uniter?? U.S. never been more divided
--transparency-laughable
--fiscally responsibe
"hope and change" depends apon which side of the distributing your on.
His biggest prob is his narcissitic character -he has now alienated the press and they are no longer giving him free ride--

In O's world everyone that disagrees needs to be reprimanded--
Won't be long till whats been obvious to many and everyone else realizes --
This is just a junior senator with no experience/qualifications from a dysfunctional backround-with radical ties--and a Tony Robbins rhetoric.
