Disaster relief as a product.

I like your use of cult here- they all are under a form of hypnosis, I think. Oh yeah, private sector disaster relief, Uh, huh....

The unemployment rate has got to fall during the next year. Just has to- and Obama's re-election people need to find a way to demonstrate how his policies have been responsible for what recovery we have had. I believe in the need for building our infra-structure for long-term economic stability, but see why so many people just can't wrap their heads around this when they have been out of work for months and months. At a certain point with so much distrust of all politicians no matter the party, I think many people will vote more about what they see as not working than future ideological policies that fit for them.

And those young college student voters that helped get him elected are now among the many that have degrees and can't jobs and owe student loans. Hopefully, the younger of this population will support him- I think there could be a high level of dissention among voters 18-22 during his 2008 election and his re-election.

Although, among POC I think he will carry a majority, especially Latino voters. But, I really see that this will be no shoe-in re-election for Obama. Which makes me nuts in some ways as he has gotten some very important policies through Congress that have had little or no movement for decades and decades.

The communication gap has got to change. I am just not as confident about his re-election as I once was. Bring on the "pictures of a thousand words" Re-Elect Obama people- bring it on NOW!!
