Surely President Obama could not really be so lucky to be blessed with such an incompetent opponent, could he? Sometimes, I even wonder if I'm dreaming about how bad the RMoney campaign is being run. In fact, in most instances, President Obama's campaign hasn't even had to lift a finger, especially in regards to his overseas trip last week. We've got a little ways to go to November but Romney has run such an incompetent campaign so far (and his trip abroad didn't help things at all) that his favorability ratings are sinking and people are starting to sour on him, things that will be difficult to fix no matter how many billions of dollars in ads are run against President Obama. That people seem to generally like President Obama and believe that he is looking out for the average "John and Jane" suggests that he stands a good chance of winning a second term barring some kind of catastrophe(though I can't exactly imagine what that might be).

All I can say is, whatever he is doing, I hope he keeps it up!
