Don't be fooled by the media pundits and angry talk from the right when it comes to President Obama and the job he is doing. OK, so the past 2 years haven't been perfect and not all the President's policies are winners. polling numbers on the economy and the President's job approval may be low right now, but his overall approval rating still sits at about 50%. What this says is that, Americans are concerned about the economy and they think he could/should do more. But they still think the President deserves a shot and they like the guy. Also think about where we are coming from and how bad it could have gotten if Obama didn't act fast and made bold decisions to pull our economy back from the crumbling cliff it was sitting on when he took office. Wall Street was out of control and the once mighty U.S. auto industry was knocking on failure's door. Going against a strong push back from the Republican party who wanted to let the auto industry crash and burn which would have resulted in more job loss, Obama and the Democrats pushed through a bail out package, saving many jobs in the auto sector as well as the supporting industries. Now companies like GM are once again profitable and they've paid back their loans with interest to the government. GM and FORD are now planning to invest billions to build new plants which will create new jobs. We are now in another Presidential election, and as potential Republican candidates emerge, it is clear that Obama may very well win a second term. We looked at the current pool of candidates and what they bring to the table as well as some of Obama's accomplishments in his first term to put together 10 reasons Obama will be hard to beat in 2012.
