It is time again to start pondering if the current President has put himself in a place to be re-elected or if he has effectively lost the re-election battle before it has even started. In an article by The Christian Science Monitor written on September 3rd 2011, they dive into just that question.
It is an interesting question to ponder especially for the Obama administration. The article "Is Election 2012 the GOP's to lose? What Obama could do" really walks that fine line of political bias and offers a great overall picture of the obstacles Obama will be facing. First and foremost, it is a great read simply because it does not feel like the writer has an agenda. It is written in a very clear and unbiased manner as it really opens up the ways Obama could still win the election yet also shows that it will be a hard road and if he is not careful, the GOP could hit a home run without even trying.
In this article it shows how Obama is facing some tough issues that he needs to overcome (or explain away) in order to be re-elected. With a high unemployment rate and the debt crisis, Obama has the obstacle of trying to communicate that all the issues his office has faced were not all his fault. However, the author, Linda Feldman, points out that Obama does not have to convince everyone, but just enough people to win the election. The question is, can he? I highly suggest diving into this article as it really is a well written, easy read, with some great thoughts to ponder as we begin our election season.
