    Carville on Obama: ‘He’s a lucky, lucky, lucky guy’

    On Tuesday’s Fox Business Network simulcast of the “Imus in the Morning” radio program, CNN contributor James Carville told host Don Imus that though President Barack Obama may lose re-election because of an event, he will not lose it because of the Republican candidate.

    “I’m out there speaking to [Republicans] and talking to them and they’re just like flinching,” Carville said. “‘God, what are we going to do, Mr. Carville?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know, why ask me.’”

    The only way the president will lose according to Carville is if some event takes place and changes things.  He maintained it wouldn’t be the result of the GOP nominee outshining Obama.

    “Right now, things are starting to perk up a little bit,” he said. “Who knows? This is the — no Republican can beat Obama. Events can beat Obama. He’s not going to get beat by a Republican. Now events could come in and cause him to lose the election. But that’s it right now. That was not the case three months ago.”

    Carville also suggested that Obama’s current fortunes were a result of luck.

    “You know what, he is — if this president, if I had anything in the world I would love to do? I would love to go to Las Vegas and stand by him at a craps table. ‘Mr. President, you just throw the dice. I’ve got my money on every roll,’” Carville said. “He’s a lucky, lucky, lucky guy.”

        Juanita, if James Carville said it then he is probably right. He is not only smart, he is as democrat as it gets.

      Remember the day...

      January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:

      At the time:

      The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77

      The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%

      The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

      George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

      Remember the day...

      January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.

      The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

      BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!!!

      THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment... to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ! (BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was Financially risky for the US economy):

      And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac????

      OBAMA

      And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie???

      The HYPOCRITE in Chief Obama

      So when a LIB tries to blame Bush...

      REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!

      OBAMA: A law Review Editor who never published an article in any Law Review.
      OBAMA: A former State & U.S. Senator who never authorized a piece of legislation.
      OBAMA: A lawyer with no significant accomplishments in the law & no reputation in the legal community.

      Not a big fan of Carville, but he's spot-on here.
    • WaltP  •  3 mths ago
      Carville is overrated and calling things safe as usual; but hes better than any advisor Obama has at the moment. He will lose just like McCain did and it will be something he can't give a Hope and Change Speech or wiggle out of. Gas prices and the instability in the Middle East or Arab spring as he call it. Whats up with our people trapped in Egypt?
      • Caro 3 mths ago
        Dear God, I hope you are wrong Walt P, otherwise folks wih common sense that just want to be spared of the social agenda of no more public schools (or good old puritan schools in their place), privitation for profit of most govenment functions. Reason got us here. I hope
        Reason prevails. I don't care if it comes in a (slightly) darker package.

      If you own a home please read. THIS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY !!!!!
      Do you know about the ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners. Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It's in Obama’s health care bill & goes into effect in 2013. So this is "change you can believe in"?

      Why 2013? Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012 elections? Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax. If you sell a $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Does this make your November and 2012 vote more important? Oh, you weren't aware this was in the Obamacare bill? Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either.

      In America an oblivious political class, led by a president who characterizes young motherhood as a 'punishment,' prefers to offer solutions to problems that don’t exist rather than the ones that are all too real. I think this is what they call handing out condoms on the Titanic. NOBAMA!
