What in hell? - Articulate and not me.

Playing devil's advocate, the reason (aside from just liking the guy) that it's fair to worry about his re-election is that if he isn't re-elected, we get a Republican. It's possible that by 2012 the GOP will find away to return to its not-batshit-crazy roots, but I wouldn't stake my country on it.

Worst-case scenario, I'd rather have someone who is bad at doing good than someone who is good at doing bad*.

* As for Obama, I think right now he's mediocre at doing good, but given his lack of experience and the absolute train wreck he came into, FDR himself would take a year or two to get his bearings.
