Sure, he’s got 65 percent approval ratings now, but there are already signs of an economic calamity that could hand the next election to the GOP. Reihan Salam sketches out the disaster scenario.

From Reihan Salam at The Daily Beast:

In his first two months in office, Barack Obama has crushed Republicans with the remorseless good cheer of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Amazingly enough, the number of Americans who believe the country is on the right track has increased by 23 percentage points. The iPhone-entranced Democrats who descended on the District during the inauguration seemed convinced that Obama’s healing powers would cure what ails America. At the time, I thought they were nuts. But insofar as America has been suffering from an emotional rut, Obama’s mix of sobriety and optimism really has worked like magic. Eventually, though, the magic will run out, and I’m guessing it will run out before the next presidential election.

    Finaly a nice , informative article. Good work newsOne. All rhettoric aside, it has only been the first 100 Days or so, and there is much for the President to face and contend with. Many of the forces beyond his or any man’s control. I wish him the luck, but more importantly, I wish America the best.

    One way he could lose is if he doesn’t do all that he has promised and fix all that he claim he would. I KNOW and a FEW OTHER PEOPLE KNOWS that it’s gonna take time being that our economy was so f*cked up to even before he came to presidency. But MANY DUMB, UNREALISTIC PEOPLE thought and still thinks that he was gonna snap his fingers and everything was gonna be better or they thought that as soon as he won the presidency, that the economy was gonna be better, black people were gonna be friendlier, and that urban america was gonna be oh so perfect and that’s where people messed up at. It’s gonna take time whether people believe it or not and whether it was a white man, asian man, or spanish man who was elected it would still have tooken time. Nobody could perfect this in a matter of months. But again, my opinion is that the onli way he will lose is if people don’t get this into their heads and tiny little pea brains.

    weather he fix it or not, he still gonna get my vote the next time around, the thing is, he went in, and did his best by sticking to his word, many before him, gave there word, and did none of it when they got in. Atleast we see Obama trying, I mean really trying to get this thing right where it helps us all. Now I can say I love America and I pledge aligence to the flag of the United States. Thank you Obama
