I sure as hell hope not. I am no apologist for the President but admit upfront that I am a Democrat, mostly out of honoring my Dad. My Dad would turn over in his grave if he thought any of his boys were Republicans- this from a man convinced that FDR saved the country.

I really consider myself more of an Independent; so, these polls predicting the demise of the Democrats fit into that self-fulfilling prophesy. You say something long enough, then it becomes true.

The polls, which I hate, are predicting a Republican takeover of Congress. What! Where the f--- are peoples' heads? Don't they remember the Bush years: (I voted for George W. the first time)-two wars and an economy in shambles? Who are these people polled? I am 70 years old and nobody has ever polled me.

I do think polls are often true, so now is the time when individual Democrats need to turn this "mother" around. Those of us who try to be objective and the kids and others who elected Obama need to get off their asses to keep guys like the President's press guy, Gibbs, from almost conceding defeat.

Who in the f--- wants to return back to where we were? Personally, I think we expect too much out of a president. He is our leader but most of what goes on in the country is out of his hands, i. e., like high unemployment.. It is hard to know why unemployment is still high-economic indicators suggest we are in recovery even if sputtering. . We have to think the jobs will be back.

It is baffling to me why people want to turn back to a yesteryear which was disastrous.
