No, he's not. And there-in lies my discontent with Obama. Compared to FDR and Harry S., Obama is weak. Very weak. If he was a strong as FDR, the lead he'd have over Romney right now would be in the double digits, but it's not. Look at the crappy, half assed campaign Romney is running.....and there is still a strong chance that he may win.
What does that tell you?

The average American voter sucks, exceptionally.

The average American voter is struggling to figure out who to vote for. They don't really like either candidate and it's coming down to generalities and party loyalty. People don't even know what Romneys plan is and some will tell you they don't even trust the guy----yet plan to vote for him anyways.
Not trying to be a downer, Bob, just calling it as I see it.

Here's my take on that. The outcome of the presidential election will be determined by the as-yet undecided voters. That means the next president will be chosen by the dumbest people in the country.

He is probably as close to FDR (with the exception of LBJ) that we will get in our memorable lifetime....
and you never know how Obama's actions will affect us 10-15 years from now....
everyone said Truman was washed up too while he was in office...his rehabilitation occurred in the 1970s-80s...

As I see it, the dumbest people are the ones who never had a doubt who they are going to vote for.
Obama because he prints "Obamamoney", Romney because he's a "businessman".

I never had the slightest doubt so I guess I'm one of the dummies. Seriously, Dave, did you? I mean look at the crazy train that the Republicans put up this year! Did you for an instant consider voting for Bachmann? Perry? Cain? Santorum? Gingrich? Paul?
Romney????
