This Super Conservative writer is angry and desperate because "Obama was born lucky" and "very charismatic", all those that have tried to stop Obama have failed as fools and idiots. He is wating for the Super Republican to beat Obama and has almost given hope.
Obama is "simpático" that is very nice, pleasant and agreeable to people, people feel sympathy for Barack Obama, Big Problem for Republicans that lack simpáticos.
"Charisma and luck will take anyone a long way – all the way into the White House – whatever else they lack".

GOP Can't Take Anything for Granted In 2012 Presidential Race

GOP Can't Take Anything for Granted In 2012 Presidential Race
Some excerpts :
Say this for President Obama, he was born lucky.
Napoleon said that was the first and most important quality for any general.
The president was lucky that Hillary Clinton, who had proved herself a popular, respected and successful senator from New York, and who has held her own as secretary of state, ran the most spectacularly inept major presidential campaign since incumbent President William Howard Taft came last in a field of three in 1912. (And that was after he delivered four years of peace and prosperity).
Obama was then amazingly lucky that John McCain proved to be an ignorant, complacent economic illiterate who couldn’t even fake competence or interest when the Wall Street financial crisis exploded in September 2008.
And now Obama has four more huge strikes of luck as well.
First, the belated teamwork between the CIA and the Pentagon’s many intelligence agencies began when his predecessor, President George W. Bush, appointed Robert Gates as secretary of defense in December 2006. But the hunting down of Usama Bin Laden came on the current president’s watch.
Second, the colossal U.S. annual trade deficits with the rest of the world started to shrink when Bush was still in the White House. But that trend strengthened under Obama and now the annual deficit is only two-thirds what it was five years ago: It has shrunk by a quarter of a trillion dollars a year.
Third, the great revolution in developing the new fracking technology to access and mine the natural gas deposits in shale formations across America began under Bush. But it only reached fruition after Obama entered office. Last year this revolution allowed the United States to surpass Russia as the greatest producer of natural gas in the world.
This means the United States can be free of dependence of foreign oil -- at least for electrical generating purposes (we still need petroleum for so much else) for probably at least a century.
Fourth, the meltdown of the economies of Portugal, Ireland and Greece in Europe (the three PIGs) has plunged the euro currency into crisis, and that has left the dollar looking relatively stable, despite Obama’s ruinous spend-as-if-there’s-no-tomorrow apology for an economic policy.
The president didn’t initiate any of these developments. But he stands to benefit from all of them. Napoleon would have recognized all that luck.
