James Carville doesn't think Obama is a "shoo-in" for re-election. He is concerned about the fallout from Obamacare. It is ironic that Obama's signature achievement, Obamacare, decimated democrats in 2010 and may cost him re-election. Karma's a b*tch!
(Washington Examiner) — Celebrated Democratic political consultant James Carville said Friday that a poor economy, persistent unemployment, an ineffective communications team and the president’s own inability to connect with voters make Barack Obama beatable in the fall elections.
“We have a pretty weak incumbent,” said Carville, who helped a scrappy Bill Clinton to an unlikely 1992 election. Citing Obama’s low approval ratings and high unemployment, the advisor noted that the statistics are not on Obama’s side. “I’ve seen worse, but that’s on the low side,” he said of Obama’s ratings among voters, adding, “He’s not a shoo-in for reelection.”
But Carville adds that it won’t be the GOP that beats Obama. The reason: The GOP candidates are even worse. “I think the Republicans can’t beat him, but events can,” he said, suggesting that the fallout of the Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on Obama’s health reform act will be huge. “Romney can’t beat Obama heads-up.”

OK, that almost made me spill my Red Bull. :)
Obamacare isn't going to cost him the election. The poll #'s on Obamacare are mixed with barely a majority disapproving and none of them actually know because very little of the law has been implemented at this point. He could lose, but it won't be health-care that does it. Jobs.
I actually think his voice, if that is what that strangled reptilian sibilance that issues from his main face hole is classified as, is more of a mix of Strother Martin and Peter Lorre's love child in a menage a trois with a lizard, after which point someone put a suit on it, tried to make a toupee stick on its''head' and failed, and pushed it up the highway toward D.C.
