Approval ratings are going up quickly. Republican approval ratings are at all time lows. He is cleaning up with independant voters. The GOP field is a mess with candidates no one wants to vote for. Plus he's got Combat Mage driving people to vote for him in droves on ACF. Is there even any point to actually campaigning?

No, he made a comment a couple months ago... That when there's a front-runner, then that's when he'll start campaigning...
I'm guessing his warchest is huge now so he's not breaking a sweat...

Not with these two crackpot frontrunners
These republican candidates are an absolute joke. Every time they talk about social issues, they alienate most of the moderates that could help them win.

No, all the competition sucks as they are a bunch of religious wacktards.
Until a candidate shows up that can balance the extreme ends going on right now we will be severely F*(<ed as a country.

Taxes are increasing across the board.
Terrible Health care bill is increasing the deficit.
Secret taxes are being introduced.
Gas prices are through the roof.
More entitlement programs are in the books.
Government size is increasing rapidly.
The number of government employees is at an all time high.
Yes. The media is united in attacking the Republican Party. It's the "new" political strategy. Use the media (social and otherwise) to make your opponent "stupid" in the eyes of the American people.
People are sheep, and stupid enough to fall for this. Anyone who thinks Obama is good for this country, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, is mentally ill.

Santorum is a religious idiot with radical views that will not get him elected unless a lot of idiots with similar views come out to vote.
Romney is a rich guy and a perfect example of what is wrong with America today.
The only way Obama will lose is if the economy collapses again by November 8, which wont happen because they are going to spend enough money this year to make sure it doesn't happen and they got the IMF on board to make sure Europe doesn't go tits up either.
Obama has this wrapped.
As for the next economic collapse, probably next year.

I honestly don't understand who could possibly be okay with:
Paying more for gasoline.
Paying more for groceries.
Paying MUCH more to give free health care to drug addicts, illegal aliens, and the eternally lazy.
Allowing the government more control over your everyday life.
Paying an additional 3.8% tax on selling your home....when we already have a problem with the housing market?! Obama was at least smart enough to not have it take effect until after the 2012 election.
Now, I will be fair. The Republicans are likely going to be just as bad....just in a different way. If I hear one more thing about abortion, denying rights for gays, or religion in schools, I'm going to goddamn puke.
Things need to change. Completely.
The focus needs to be the economy, size of government, and our budget. Period. We need to get our house in order.

You will see so much of his face on TV from August through November that you will think he is big brother from 1984.
He has already pre-bought so much of the ad time that whoever does win the Republican side will have a hard time finding any time to actually buy.
The large question is -- can he sweep in enough democrats into the house to take the house and can his coattails allow the dems to hold the senate (a harder task actually)?
I think that is where rigged voting will come into play -- it wont happen with the presidential race, but it may happen with certain districts in close races for congressional or senatorial seats.

This I agree with, will be interesting to see what happens there. The Presidential race will be a cake walk though. This could be the worst GOP field ever for that role.

Romney the moderate from 10 years ago would have been a much better general election candidate, although he would never have made it out of the primaries. Romney the wannabe RWN politard of today is unelectable. Republicans don't trust him, and Democrats don't want a far right candidate.

Actually it shows just how far ahead the left is planningwise whenever you look at something like occupy.
I mean it made the country weary of protest which completely shut down the tea party for this election.
It made anonymous what they are today vs what they were before.
It may as well have minted an "I am the 1%" badge for Romney.

The far left is just so very far ahead on everything that it is scary.

America and most other democratic countries are screwed because its people want the government to cater to their own selfish needs.
We elect politicians who promise us little gifts and we boot out politicians who don't deliver on what we specifically want.
Greece is a prime example of a country that tossed out all logic and reason and followed nothing but the selfish needs of the electorate. Greece is the present, but it is probably the future for most countries.

Gas prices are going to spike. Obama will need to campaign, framing the cost increase as the result of Wall Street speculators.
In addition, whoever wins the GOP nomination will change their tune to be more in line with the independents, and thus their ratings will go up. The far right will be upset for a bit, but they'll forget about it by November.
This election will actually be about who can get more of their own side out to vote. That might mean more positive ads then we've seen in the past.

Gas price spikes are a easy win for Obama, just needs to point to the republican lust for subsidizing the industry.

Yes. The media is united in attacking the Republican Party. It's the "new" political strategy. Use the media (social and otherwise) to make your opponent "stupid" in the eyes of the American people.
People are sheep, and stupid enough to fall for this. Anyone who thinks Obama is good for this country, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, is mentally ill.
I really don't understand how so many people can be so stupid.
He's inexperienced, making huge mistakes, and digging a deeper and deeper financial hole from which we are unlikely to recover.

By all means, dispute any of it.
Are gas prices not rising?
Is there not a 3.8% sales tax on homes going into effect in 2013 snuck into the Health Care bill, while the housing market is still attempting to recover?
Are grocery prices not rising?
Is government not larger than it's ever been?
Is the deficit not wildly out of control?
What exactly is incorrect about anything I've said?
This kind of unbridled stupidity from the "Average voter" is why this country is in a tailspin to an economic disaster.

he will use it to push his message first. It will read something like this
"Oil companies are paying next to nothing in taxes. They are getting subsidized by the US Tax Payers. They are reaping record profits for companies. The republicans wont let me pass legislation to make them pay their fair share, and they want you the tax payer to continue to subsidize them."
Its of course not as simple as that but thats pretty much the message that will be delievered and eaten up. Then out of the kindness of his Overlord heart to help the little guy, the truckers, farmers, he will tap into the reserves.

Gas prices are rising, and will continue to rise. The reasons for this are somewhat complex.

There is not a 3.8% sales tax on homes going into effect in 2013. Please reread your source.

Global warming cutting production combined with China and India's rising middle class creating a higher demand for food is the cause of this. Obama isn't the cause.

Supreme Commander Obama? Wow that sounds so cool. It's long past time we abolished our Republic and installed a benevolent dictatorship more like Rome under Emperor Augustus had. Supreme Commander Obama could be the new Augustus.
You can't tell me arab terrorists would ever mess with the new fascist American government led by a man named Supreme Commander Obama. Who would mess with that?

Is President and Supreme Commander Obama even going to need to campaign?
its how the establishments fix the elections these days make one of the opponents running just a person not capable of running. The entire GOP couldn't field better candidates then Mitt Romney or Newt. I personally think Ron Paul is doing so well not because of a loyal following he does have but because everyone running against him in the primary's completely suck.

For some unforseeable, unpredictable, unmodelable reason, food production has declined. Thus supply has decreased.
Totally unrelated, those bastards in the country of "not America" want more food. Thus demand has increased.
In a free market, when supply decreases or demand increases, the cost of goods and services rise.
So, obviously, what we should do is have the military attack the plants until they grow more food, and declare war on "not America" until they reduce their demand.

Food is going up because corn is now being used for more things then feeding cattle. Which drives the price of corn up thus cattle.

Not at all, but the arguement Supreme Holiness Obama will make is this. Why are we subsidizing oil companies making record profits and paying lower taxes (and selling a good amount of their subsidized product now to China) and cutting subsidies on farmers who are paying higher taxes?

Food is going up for about a million reasons, blaming Obama for it is pretty retarded, but it was TUG doing that so that pretty much explains that away.
Gas princes are higher.
Exports are higher
farming subsidies are down
inflation
droughts
etc etc, there are about a million reasons.

Yep.
The NY Times has a good article about the current state of the US, economy, and deficit:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/us/even-critics-of-safety-net-increasingly-depend-on-it.html
One of the more interesting points in the article was this:
" Support for Republican candidates, who generally promise to cut government spending, has increased since 1980 in states where the federal government spends more than it collects. The greater the dependence, the greater the support for Republican candidates.
Conversely, states that pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits tend to support Democratic candidates. "
