Fox News’ Kimberly Guilfoyle Predicts Obama Already Has Re-Election All Wrapped Up

video
» 101 comments

If you’re a regular viewer of The Five, you know that Barack Obama’s chances in 2012 are not good. Despite Bob Beckel’s protestations, every day it feels like we get more proof that he is doomed, doomed, doomed. Solyndra goes all the way to the top! No one can win with these unemployment numbers! Even liberals hate him! That’s why it felt so surprising to hear Kimberly Guilfoyle, with litte fanfare and at such an early date, posit that the President already has re-election in the bag.

The comments came during a segment on the impressive Black Friday figures that was going pretty much just as you’d expect a Five segment on the subject to go. Beckel was excitedly declaring it the beginning of the “Obama Recovery,” Eric Bolling was shutting him down, and Greg Gutfeld was making jokes about liberals being hypocrites since, after all, Occupy Wall Street totally hates Capitalism, right? In the middle of all this, Gutfeld cut in to ask Guilfoyle about comments she’d made during the day predicting that Obama would win next year. While she didn’t seem thrilled that he put her on the spot, she made no attempt to sugar coat her theory.

“Do I [think Obama will win]? I think he does. I said it before the show and you’ve called me out on it. Nice. I think he’s gonna get re-elected at this point.”

“Come on, The Five. I know the good money’s on Mitt Romney’s the presumptive candidate and you guys aren’t fans, but are you really throwing the towel in already? I’m kind of feeling like what Bill Clinton said in [Nicholas] Kristof’s article in the New York Times, saying that, ‘Look, Republicans can’t get it together.’ They can’t even get it together for the primaries, decide who they want.”

Of course, a full year of a daily show where Bob Beckel cackles in glee as his co-hosts fall further and further into depression and despair might make for some compelling television. I mean, not good television. But definitely compelling.

Watch the clip from Fox News below. Guilfoyle’s comments come at the four minute mark:

    Whether you find her political analysis valid or not, I think the interesting thing is how different it seemed from the narrative the show’s been putting out the past few months. If you’ve watched any of The Five’s Solyndra segments, there’s always been an undercurrent of “Oh, he’s doomed” and, during any mention of the past month’s unemployment numbers, they’ve said repeatedly that there was no way he could win. So I was really surprised to see her say this so plainly and not get instantly shot down by anyone on the table.

    Maybe it was just being in a different studio messing with their heads, but it seemed like a complete reversal of everything I’ve heard from this show.

    Any of the show’s many fans want to help back me up or disagree? Has there been any hint recently that Guilfoyle or anyone else was feeling this? I can’t think of anything but I may be wrong.

    No matter who gets elected, there isn’t going to be any sort of “rebirth.”  Nothing gets done in the Senate without 60 votes, and no matter what happens in 2012, neither the GOP nor the Dems will reach that mark.  So the logjam will continue long into the future.

  • Anonymous

    Jon I honestly don’t watch anything on Faux, but what may be driving the narrative is the discord within the Republicant Party.  It’s like a parade of clowns and the one’s they should be listening to – Huntsman and Paul – are drowned out by the rhetoric.

    You know, Mr. D, I think that the day after the election, if there is still an Obama store open somewhere, the merchandise will be marked down to -$1.00 and you will be paid to haul the junk away. Any Obama t-shirts left will be used as rags to  clean the store to make way for a profitable business. No more worship for any politician. They are still just humans.

    She’s right – that’s not to say Democrats should take it for granted he’s won, but Obama is far ahead and fortunate in his opponents, those passengers in the clown care looking for a circus.  The Republican record is not something they can run on yet they cannot differentiate themselves from the Republican record – particularly when they’re trying to sell the same thing the Republicans did – albeit trickle down is now ‘job creators’ – and want Americans to expect  different result.

    The Republicans shouldn’t have had so many debates. The more people see of these candidates, the more they realize how clueless they really are…ALL of them. Familiarity indeed does breed contempt…even on Fox! 

  • Anonymous

    This isn’t a new meme to the Fox stage, especially The Five.

    I think all conservatives are operating on the assumption that Obama will win re-election, but will lose the Senate and the House will remain in GOP hands. Anything more to that would be a win for the GOP.

    This is rather stunning.  I hope it causes the Rs to do some soul-searching (and, yes, I’m assuming they still have one to search).  Off the top of my head, here are some things I hope they discover:
    1. Protests against a system that panders to the 1% is not necessarily anti-capitalist or socialist.
    2. Being green is patriotic.  Being greedy is not.
    3. The US is not primarily a geographic area composed of isolated individuals in competition with one another.  It is a country composed of citizens.

    If Obama wins it will have been Fox’s News fault, if you ask me… they’re like a parasite, they use the candidates for ratings, then next day trash them. Either that or they just trash whoever isn’t popular at the moment. It’s a popularity show on that network, where the craziest ideas get the most attention.. so what do you expect? Of course the candidates are going to say more and more crazy things because crazy things get you attention (and agreement) on Fox News.

    Ron Paul and Huntsman are the only two candidates that aren’t Fox News candidates.. and lo and behold they are also the most sane. 

    Anyway, seriously, think about it, you can’t blame Democrats, the party was sunk from within by Fox News, Roger Ailes, and News Corp.

    The last point is a little vague.  My point was simply that Rs have lost the sense of our responsibility to one another as citizens.  Of our shared destiny.  I’m not suggesting that social programs and safety nets can’t be reformed to be made more efficient or to guard against exploitation.  But what’s come out of the R party often dismisses the project altogether.

The only question is not whether Obama wins, but whether he carrries a fillibuster majority in both houses of congress.

    What makes you think he’s “so far ahead”? He’s only beating Romney by 1.5% and a “generic” republican by 0.2%. These are within the margin of error of any poll.

  • Anonymous

    Guilfoyle is right, Obama already has it locked up and really there is only one reason why. The Republican candidates all suck, the base doesn’t like any of them which is why there is a different front runner every few weeks. The base can’t stand Romney worst of all but the establishment has chosen him to be the nominee. I don’t get it it’s the same thing the Republicans did in 08, the base didn’t like McCain and only got excited when he picked Sarah Palin.

    The Republicans have a great chance to knock Obama off, personally I think Obama has sucked as President. I am an independent I have no dog in this race and ultimately thinks that Washington is so broken it doesn’t matter who is President. But the Republican field is so completely pathetic, not one of them will beat Obama. If they had run a Chris Christie or Marco Rubio. someone they actually like this would be a completely different ballgame and Obama would be toast.

    Republicans blew it once again. It almost seems like they don’t want to win so they can stay in the minority and snipe from the benches. Like it’s some long term strategy to win down the line.

    Let me remind you that millionaires get more than $30 BILLION in subsidies and tax credits from the government each year according to a report from Senator Tom Coburn.
    The biggest benefits are paid in the form of tax credits for mortgage interest, rental expenses and gambing losses – millionaires claimed a shocking $21 BILLION in gambling losses between 2006 and 2009.  But,
    Senator Coburn, in his report, also said millionaires are paid more than $1 BILLION a year in social security benefits, have received some $74 MILLION in unemployment insurance between 2005 and 2009 and collected $316 Million in farm subsidies between 2003 and 2009.  In fact, Michelle Bachman’s family received $251,000 in one year. 

     ”This welfare for the well-off —costing billions of dollars a year – - is being paid for with the taxes of  the less fortunate,” Senator Coburn said in releasing the report. 

    Note:  Senator Tom Coburn is  a Republican senator from Oklahoma.

    Some people (like WCinW12) seem to think that states should be in charge of agencies.  And that is true to a point.
    However, we are so interconnected, that one state does in fact, effect others.  The department of Education use to be run by the states or so it seemed.  A student from Texas would move to the State of Oregon and find that he/she was way behind in what they were learning.  In a mobile society like ours, we need standardized tests for our kids.

    RealJoe, you are clearly out of your mind.  Repubs took the House and almost the Senate.  Obama had two years to strut his stuff with a democratic congress and senate and failed miserbly, failed to show leadership and whines publicly over Republican opposition to his tax and spend plans.  He’s not a leader, rather a professional campaigner.  Yet, he will win in spite of it all because the Republican party can’t get out of it’s own way, unfortunately.  O will be a lame duck and nothing will get achieved in his second term; only a continum of the current malaise.
