Opinions/Editorials Title: President Obama Will Not Be Re-elected. Period. Why? President Obama Will Not Be Re-elected. Period. Why? Obamaflation has arrived, and this is what it looks like. Milk. A gallon of skim. At the local Giant in Central Pennsylvania: January 11, 2011: $3.20 February 28, 2011: $3.24 March 6, 2011: $3.34 April 23. 2011: $3.48 That would be a 28 cent rise in a mere 102 days, from January to April of this year. The third year of the Obama misadventure. Then there's the celery. Same sized bag. Same store. January 11, 2011: $1.99 a bag. March 6, 2011: $2.49 a bag. A rise of 50 cents in 54 days. And the gas price during the administration filled with those who think "drill baby drill" is so yesterday? As one Internet photo had it, the numbers for regular, premium. and diesel were replaced with "LOL," "OMG," and "WTF!" Thus be it to governments who seem not to understand that energy is what makes the economic engine -- and your car -- hum. What does this mean? It means Barack Obama is not going to be re-elected president of the United States. Period. Neither Rush Limbaugh nor our founder, R. Emmett Tyrrell (as far as I know) shop for groceries in our local Giant. (Hopefully he may have created a job where someone else down there at his Southern Command does it for him.) But having been keeping tabs on groceries here for the last four months with an eye to writing this exact column four months later, I find it astounding although not surprising that Rush and Bob Tyrrell seem to be two of the few (Rush noted yesterday that Fox's Brit Hume gets this as well) who understand the President is a political goner. Or, as the delightfully subtle Mr. Tyrrell has put it for months, politically "dead in the water." All understand why. You can get away with a lot of things as president and blame them on other people. For Obama its George Bush or now the oil companies or also now those evil corporations or… well… yada yada yada. But when average Americans begin to understand that Obamanomics is directly responsible for a 28 cent rise in the price of milk (with over a year and a half to go to the 2012 elections), there is going to be political hell to pay. And the buck, so to speak, stops, as it always does, with the president of the United States. And voters here in Pennsylvania are making exactly that connection between Obama and the cost of their milk and their gas.. Like clockwork, in perfect synchronization with the rising cost of milk right here in a part of Pennsylvania afloat in dairy cows -- comes this from Public Policy Polling.

The Democrats are pulling out their 70 year old playbook, accusing the GOP of wanting to throw granny into the snow with a nothing more than a can of cat food. Will the people still buy it? I don't know. One important point: no matter how bad things are, Obama seems to have a tight floor and ceiling around his popularity, which hovers around the mid-40s. I think Obama is getting at least a 10 point boost because he's black and white liberals and some moderates are trying to make up for a past history of racism. He truly is the Affirmative Action President. Is that enough to put him back into the White House??? I don't know. I sure hope not.
#5. To: jwpegler (#3) I don't know. I sure hope not. Want to guarantee Obama a second term? Just keep harping on the BC issue. Forget jobs, the economy, the wars, all of that minor stuff. Just go 110% BC. That will do the trick.
#6. To: Skip Intro (#5) No votes are lost on the birth certificate issue. Watch the next poll. It will bear it out.
#9. To: A K A Stone (#6) "No votes are lost on the birth certificate issue. It's hundreds of days until the first primary or caucus votes are counted. The next poll won't determine if Obama will lose.
Replies to Comment # 9. Mike you need to accept that the birth certificate issue has hurt Obama really bad. He waited so long to release it that a lot of people will never believe it is real. Even if it is real. Which isn't exactly clear right now.
