2. Considering the economy ...

Obama is damn lucky that Romney will be his opponent.

Of course none of the Republicans who have run in the primaries would have had a snowballs chance in hell against Obama.

I feel the economy will show significant signs of improvement by election time unless Big Oil successfully manages to raise gasoline prices to record levels.

But it absolutely amazes me that the Republicans would pick a rich indivual who is currently building a mansion with an elevator for his car and is so totally out of touch with main street America as their candidate.

Car Elevators: Romney's Latest '1 Percent' Moment
March 28, 2012

From car elevators and outdoor showers to expansive basements and beach-view decks, Mitt Romney's plans to renovate his $12 million beachfront villa outside of San Diego are nothing short of luxury.

But for a presidential candidate who has constantly battled the criticism that he is "out of touch" with the average American, an elevator specifically designed to lift and lower his vehicles in and out of the home's four-car garage, could make selling that "average guy" persona a tad bit tougher.

Romney's plan to renovate his La Jolla, California beach house has been known for months. But documents first discovered by Politico, which broke the story Tuesday, show that Romney also plans to add a 3,600-square-foot basement, an outdoor shower, and a car elevator.

While these luxurious plans were uncovered by reporters, many of Romney's 1-percenter-style traits have been brought to light by the candidate himself.

Of course this is the party that ran John McCain and Bob Dole for president.

I predict the Republicans will be wailing and gnashing their teeth after the results of the next election are announced. It will be fun to watch.
