That was in 1982. The POTUS had inherited a nightmare of economic disaster. In mid term elections Republicans lost 27 seats to Democrats. The Presidents approval rating was in the tank at only 35%.

Some declared there would be a revolution, the President didn't have a snow balls chance of being re-elected.

Who was President in 1982? Ronald Reagan, who was re-elected! History repeats itself, the jury is out on Obama, only time will tell. If he turns around the economy in the next two years or so, he will be a hero. Re-election is all but certain!
