Good News for Obama

Not from Libya, obviously, since the situation there plainly has the potential to damage the American President but from a source closer to home. Dick Morris says Obama is finished:

Will Obama get reelected? No way! In the teeth of the economic catastrophe that is shaping up, his chances are doomed.

True, even Dick Morris must get something right eventually and true too that the economic waters remain choppy but this declaration must still be the best news the White House has heard in some time.

Then again, the consequences of the Japanese earthquake and the Libyan excursion may yet change matters and perceptions. But of course the Republicans need to find a credible opponent who can actually win. Not impossible by any means but far from certain. On either count.

Morris, if I’m not mistaken, predicted that the 2008 contest would be between Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice.
