Will Obama soon be an ex-President?

If the Wall Street Journal is considered a conservative newspaper, then their counterpart on the left would have to be the New York Times. In that regard they could represent the Democratic “establishment” viewpoint. The Sunday September 11 edition had an interesting article on the front page.

Democrats Fret Aloud Over Obama’s Chances

Democrats are expressing growing alarm about President Obama’s re-election prospects and, in interviews, are openly acknowledging anxiety about the White House’s ability to strengthen the president’s standing over the next 14 months.

Elected officials and party leaders at all levels said their worries have intensified as the economy has displayed new signs of weakness. They said the likelihood of a highly competitive 2012 race is increasing as the Republican field, once dismissed by many Democrats as too inexperienced and conservative to pose a serious threat, has started narrowing to two leading candidates, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, who have executive experience and messages built around job creation.
And in a campaign cycle in which Democrats had entertained hopes of reversing losses from last year’s midterm elections, some in the party fear that Mr. Obama’s troubles could reverberate down the ballot into Congressional, state and local races.
“In my district, the enthusiasm for him has mostly evaporated,” said Representative Peter A. DeFazio, Democrat of Oregon. “There is tremendous discontent with his direction.”

If the New York Times could print a story like this, on Sunday and on the front page … the people in the White House must be frantic. Some conservative voices hint at a possible landslide in 2012??? That prospect looks stronger today.
