Barack Obama
U.S. President Barack Obama is facing a massive struggle in the 2012 presidential election, as the economy keeps betraying him and a number of former allies and friends, have spoken out against his policies, branding them failures.
How do you tell the nation and the world, who have been negatively impacted by the ongoing financial crisis that began on Wall Street, to give you another 4-years to try to sort out the economy, with no guarantees of success. That's a tough sell with nothing to show for it. That's like going to the bank and stating I want to buy the biggest house on the block with no money or successful credit history to show that you qualify.
Mitt Romney
Romney is exploiting Obama's weaknesses, namely the economy, to tell the nation it is time to give someone else a try at cracking the economic crisis, in a bid to return America to prosperity. Romney is also using his governing experience and background in the financial sector to buoy his bid.
For President Obama, it is very difficult to counter such a message with such terrible economic numbers under one's belt. He needs legitimate, genuine results and he needs them now or he can kiss the presidency goodbye.
