In the hollister before you nail the coffin closed on obama s campaign. this has been i can t think of a president with a worse summer than this president has had. in every sense of the word. i contend from the beginning, electoral politic is upsetting the expectations. expectations are so low, if you go forward unyear from now, if the unemployment is 8.5% it will look mighty stout. eric: but the office of management and budget came out and said 8 panth%, forget about it. 9% unemployment or higher through the 2012 election. how dis he win? andrea: the o in obama is for zero. that s what it stands for. you re right. stimulus, remember, supposed to keep the unemployment above 8%. would expect higher than that. that s where the expectation thing comes to play. this administration is setting higher and higher.
