Good point about Bush. My argument with that is that you can't compare Bush to Obama. Apples and road signs. Bush won in 04 because Kerry was his opponent and the only person better to run against would have been McCain and he wouldn't switch parties so Bush could beat him again.

Obama, like him or not, is an iconic legendary figure. He is the first black president of the United States. He is also a great speaker and someone who inspired the masses. Remember all those people who were fainting when they got to see him? I don't see that sort of Power in him anymore
