172. I believe he is doomed in 2012.
In my opinion, President Obama has not, and will not in time for the election, deliver the hope and change that we who swept him into office expected. Health care reform, the major event of his presidency so far, has turned out to be a disaster.

In fact, by effectively putting his stamp of approval on Bush-era tactics like extraordinary rendition, declaring anyone to be an enemy combatant, and domestic surveillance , he has incensed portions of his base.

So he has an extremely disillusioned based.

And of course his opposition has been motivated from day one.

I'd say he's in for a very rough road.
