    I hope he's right. but here's an article that may interest you :

    Dr. Williams prediction: Maybe you have read some newspaper articles written by Dr. Williams a conservative economist who happens to be Black. He has taught at several Universities and is currently teaching at George Mason University.

    The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012 and here's his reasons:

    1. Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn't matter what he does. It's a race thing. He's one of us.

    2. College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It's really not more complex than that.

    3. Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope.

    4. Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coattails will carry them to victory nationwide,

    5. Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party,

    6. Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics,

    7. Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more everyday. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda.

    8. The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love him would be racist,

    9. Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won't vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic. And lastly,

    10. Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn't need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned.

    Source(s): Now try and prove this to be wrong.

    Being a computer geek does not make you necessarily politically astute.

    Besides, I am sure he envisioned a better republican field than Bachmann, Perry, Cain and rehashed Newt. Had he known this......he clearly would have changed his prediction and accepted that Obama wins a second term easily.

    Could Jobs have predicted the morons running against Obama - I don't think so.

    Steve Jobs thought he'd beat cancer too.

    I would be very surprised if Obama was re-elected, so yeah I agree with Mr. Jobs (RIP)

    This is what voters will remember...During the 4 years the Democrats had majority in Congress (and 2 years into Obama's Presidency), the national debt increased $5 trillion - a 61 percent jump. The Democratic Congress’ biggest legislative accomplishments - Obamacare and the stimulus bill - have been failures in practice and unpopular with the public.

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/nov/22/cb...

    According to the CBO, the Democrats so-called “stimulus” actually hurts our economy in the long run.

    I don't see how Obama can run on his record. He can try and claim "it would have been worse if we didn't do such and such..." but there is no way he can convincingly prove that to me or many others.

    Absolutely. Liberals will deny that their man is history but he is gone for sure.
