How Obama wins
By Tom Quiner Barack Obama will most likely be re-elected to the presidency. Are his unfavorable ratings in the tank? Yes. A whopping 49% disapprove of the job the president is doing.

By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElTgJTWZyRg&feature=related] What do Elton John and Barack Obama have in common? A song.
