Why the hell is anyone surprised, angry, resentful that Obama is trying to win an election?

What the hell do you expect him to do? I expect more moves like this rallying the base. I expect sub-$3, maybe mid $2, gas prices after Summer. I expect him to pound the fact that Osama was captured on his watch, and how Iraq was down scaled, and how the Dow is basically back to where it was before the collapse, etc etc etc.

Hello - it's a fukkin election year, and he wants a second term. Incumbents have a huge advantage, and the GOP can't send a winner in to save their lives.
