- People don't vote for people they don't like. Unfortunately this works in Obama's favor. he is an embarrassment with no leadership ability.

- Voters tend to vote for the candidate they like. Kind of funny that way...?

- Once again the idiots on the right are so out of touch they are clueless.
Look at Mitt talk, you can see he looks he gets on his face once in a while that looks just like a mean abuser, and his job history shows just that. I'd die before I'd vote for that pig. - Reply to this comment
- Of course kit does, as does his ability to lie to the public, and to give money we don't Have to the parasites. More free money than his likeability. Give them money and they will follow you to the grave.

- Cool and likable has 23 million Americans unemployed and underemployed. This is the very best president for the rich and educated, since only the rich are able to afford filling up their tank at $4.25/gallon. Everyone else has seen their job go away and their income get diluted in the last four years of cool!!! So, let's have four more years of Cool!!!

- Give us a break, and tell the truth for once, since GASoline was higher in mid-2008 under the bush/cheney regime, than it is now!
How many of those millions lost their jobs during bushworld, since the construction/housing industry tanked first while boosh was still in the White House, and it was boosh's lack of oversight that allowed the financial sector to implode!

- It will matter in the general election with certain democraphics. Lots of voters under 30 haven't a clue about the economy and couldn't care less about political philosophy. They will vote based on who they think is the "coolest". Serious voters, deeply concerned about the declining state of the country over the past 4 years will vote on political philosophy and leadership.

- bmallen3: "Eisenhower was the Allied Commander in WWII and actually accomplished something positive."
Yes, and he was the LAST republican president that balanced the federal budget too, whereas Bill Clinton was the last Dem President to balance the federal budget!
Now, we hear from 'lyin' ryan' that it will take the republicans 28 years to balance the budget after the bush/cheney regime tanked our economy -- yet the conservitards are upset that President Obama didn't fix ALL bush's terrible mistakes including the economy and bush's two WARS of choice, in 3 short years! - Reply to this comment
- There is a problem with being likeable when you're also smart and capable? OBAMA 2012!

- "The president's likability factor could be a problem for Romney and the Republican party if voters like him enough to look past their disappointments in his performance. A series of focus groups conducted by the Republican polling firm Resurgent Republic illustrated that issue."
GEE schmitty, seems you're so worried about the results from this republican polling firm, all you can do is 'try' to bring out U.C. Berkeley papers from 2007, and expect us to swallow that whole!
Try reading from conservative republican economists like Stockman and Bartlett that have worked for past republican presidents, to see what they think about "supply side economic insanity" today! - Reply to this comment

- Hey -- try reading this which is much more relevant today:
Supply-Side Economics, R.I.P.
During the George W. Bush years, however, I think SSE became distorted into something that is, frankly, nuts--the ideas that there is no economic problem that cannot be cured with more and bigger tax cuts, that all tax cuts are equally beneficial, and that all tax cuts raise revenue.

- Ha Ha Ha......New report just out by the CIA that shows there was no gutsy call by the POTUS on Bin Laden. The mission was controlled by an admiral. Obama did nothing. LOL

- LOL!....the conservitards will never give President Obama credit for anything -- especially for anything that bush screwed up like the economy or the search for bin Ladin!
LOL!
- Finding Bin Laden took a lot of courage from folks who were demonized by being mean to the poor Muslim boys in Gitmo who were just at the wrong place and wrong time (with an AK-47 and an RPG). Obama fought the tougher questioning techniques tooth and nail, although without them we would have never heard about Obama's courier, who led us to his spider hole.
