Congressional Black Caucus Leader: Reelecting Obama is Going to be an “Enormous Challenge”
More like impossible.
President Obama’s reelection in 2012 won’t be easy, the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) says.
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), the new chairman of the CBC, told the group IMPACT to expect a bruising fight to secure the president a second term.
“It’s realistic for our party to understand the enormous challenge we’re going to have, to get him back in the White House in 2012,” Cleaver told the group, as reported on Monday by NBC’s Washington affiliate.
“It will not be a landslide or an easy victory,” Cleaver added. “We’re going to have to scrape and battle for every vote we get.”
The CBC leader’s remarks underscore the uncertainty surrounding Obama’s political footing going into 2012. While the president was swept into office in 2008 with Democratic headwinds, the GOP’s win in the 2010 elections suggest Obama could be vulnerable to a strong Republican challenger.

The most persuasive argument for a Obama second term is that he had a first term at all.
They will have to get people to vote 3 times this election, not just twice.
“It will not be a landslide or an easy victory,” Cleaver added. “We’re going to have to scrape and battle for every vote we get.”
In other words, lie, cheat, and steal.

The stupid fools, I wonder if they even realize that such a challenger is sitting right in front of them?
Allen West!!!
so the only prereq is color then?
racists.
Why fight for votes when you can just buy them ?
Oh, wait, this isn’t the SENATE ….
They should be able to ” Dig Up ” a few more votes here and there.. and don’t forget the ” Captive Voters ” and those wonderful electronic ballot machines that fit right in you trunk.. a few ” Virtual ” votes there to be had… and then there is voting with no ID, weighed minority district votes… Non-documented votes..
A few good Polling place ” Observers ” and lease every bus available.
Really, it just takes a bit of creativity.
Col. West seen nodding in agreement ~
“It will not be a landslide or an easy victory,” Cleaver added. “We’re going to have to scrape and battle for every vote we get.”
I can agree with that statement with one caveat. It won’t be easy, because the Tea Party will be kicking your asses all the way to the polls.
The vitrol? Go look in the mirror lefties or change the TV channel to any station.
Think that conservatives and Tea Partiers are going to lay down and quit because your team of droids is trying out your own brand of al taqiyya?
Guess again. A Republican Gaugamela is comming to a precinct near you very soon lefties… By all means keep playing the libel game. And 2012 will turn out like 1980.
cut off his anonymous foreign internet contributions and he’s last week’s dump
Black Democrats=Bam’s SS elite. They’ll fight without question,
lie, cheat ….and now that Clyburn has been given his sop,….
a whole new office and position, die if necessary for the LEADER.
Clinton can no longer get into the Apollo Theater on a comp
ticket whenever he wants….lack of respect for the first black President, if you ask me.
Headline I would have preferred to have seen in 2008
Congressional Black Caucus Leader: Electing Obama is Going to be an “Enormous Challenge”…
“Congressional Black Caucus Leader: Reelecting Obama is Going to be an ‘Enormous Challenge’…”
I wouldn’t worry about it.
So why run a loser? Just throw your efforts on Pants Suit and we’ll kick her ass as well. You’re all a bunch of fucking losers in my opinion!
Is this guy speaking as head of the Congressional Black Caucus? Unless he was racist, why would the Congressional Black Caucus necessarily support a Democrat — wouldn’t it want to wait and see the choices?
.
Hey..
Let’s not forget the birthers… they should be encouraged at a second run…lol!
Anywhere we can find a complication, I suggest we allow it.
Don’t write Obama off as he is counting on it.
Don’t allow yourself to relax, we cannot afford the luxury. Obama term two, could happen. It is an ugly thought, but we cannot dismiss the possibility.
Relecting Obama will be very possible, if we dont get a solid, well spoken, likable conservative person to run for us.
Love Sarah, but shes too tarnished.
Sentinel, youre a fool and a coward. You obviously have no idea what our country is about, what makes it great and who is capable of operating it in an efficient manner. In other words, you are worthless.
“It will not be a landslide or an easy victory,” Cleaver added. “We’re going to have to scrape and battle for every vote we get.”
He forgot to use the words “manufacture”, “invent”, and “exhume”, the methods the left turn to most when out-numbered by real voters.
Did a Democrat say “battle”? Did he miss the memo that no militaristic language was to be used? Oh wait, that is just for Republicans….
Let’s keep it fair…………http://www.truethevote.org/true-the-vote/volunteer
I believe States should keep Obama off their ballots unless he produces a REAL birth certificate to prove his eligibility.No B.C. No Electorial votes.
Thats it mike r.
SHOW ME THE DAMN BC.
They have almost two years to create an aged looking BC.
There are to many words in that Headline and article so I changed it.
This all that needed to be said.
