Wouldn't it be great if he won by a larger majority this time? Consider the clowns in the contest now....it's possible, no?

One and a half years out from his election loss. What's your point?

...not 1.5 years away.

The economy under Obama is improving so far, not worsening, as it was for GHWBush when his poll numbers began to sink.

Obama will be running against one in a group of the poorest candidates a party has ever run for president; whereas GHWBush was up against arguably the best politician in generations -- Clinton -- when he lost.

So what is YOUR point?
