President Obama is looking at a very rough ride to any hope of reelection. Will he be reelected? Presently, "No.” It's so bad I don't think even a big war will save him. His foreign policy, even with the assassination of Osama Ben Laden isn't enough. Too much of the world is tainted by his indecision, lack of forethought, and a basic lack of a foreign policy. The reality is he didn't run as a ‘Foreign Policy' president, and it shows.

The whole of North Africa has fallen away from American influence, unless Obama wanted Islamic strongholds in those countries. We suppose he did not, any other thought in the other direction is a horrifying conclusion. So, due to his lack of understanding and the same lack of understanding by his State Department, that is Hillary Clinton, again, the whole of North Africa has been lost.

The president's vacillation in his statements and actions regarding Israel shows a man who doesn't know how to peruse a coherent policy or is shilling for votes. Either one is very bad. Israel is the only nation, which the U.S. could rely on in a large scale conflict. Where else is there? Iraq looks like it would be part of ‘ground zero' keeping in mind that Iran would be the epicenter of any conflict.

A war with Iran is not impossible.

Now, who will be the next president, the one which will be replacing Obama, because he will more than likely loss in 2012, again, a war will not save him. The slow plodder has been Mitt Romney, and had stayed steady, between 25% and 30%, against rising and falling Republican challengers.

Herman Cain's rocketing candidacy created enthusiasm and sideswiped Romney, and though Cain has left the race, the damage his rise didn't to Romney is evident. It showed that the majority of Republican voters weren't interesting in the Massachusetts governor, and that hasn't changed. Once viewed by the Republican élites and the MSM has the ‘presumed', Romney's campaign has grown desperate as Gingrich has risen to take Cain's place, and still rises. Will Gingrich keep the lead, maybe. But Romney is now in a slow fade, but fading none the less.

What is interesting is that Gingrich is being beat up daily about his past sins, about his divorces, about his flirtations with left-wing junk science and policy, AGW, and Cap and Trade, for instance. He's getting more than vetting, but he's enduring an examination Obama never received and to the detriment of the nation—going back to foreign policy.

Certain presidential candidates have not gone away. Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum are still shadowing the front runners, though their shadows are a distance behind. They should keep on going, and not drop out considering the volatility of the race. Romney may disappear entirely, and that second spot needs to be filled.

There are those pulling for Johnson and Paul, and they should continue to do so. Persistence can pay off and Rick Perry is still there.

Fact is Obama is a one-term president. His presidency is going to leave a mess behind. The new president will have to clean up not only the mess, but resuscitate the morale of the nation.

Glenn Beck: Conservatives Who Support Gingrich Must be Racist

"Not a typo or a joke. He thinks if you're a conservative and you see even the slightest difference between Newt Gingrich and Barack Obama then you must be opposing Obama because he's black.”

Harry Morgan -- Grownup

It was by sheerest coincidence last Thursday that I read Gerald Nachman's fine "The Teening of America" in the December edition of TAS (if you haven't read it yet…), and later the same day heard of the death of the character actor Harry Morgan at 96.

Newt's Rise: It's the Persuasion, Stupid

Generally, the only persuasion we see today is the phony attempt to make voters think the politician agrees with them.
