Oil spill, politics upset Maher (
Las Vegas Review-Journal
)
Bill Maher would "bet the house" Mitt Romney will win the Republican presidentialnomination in 2012.More surprising, Maher -- one of liberal Americans' beacons -- thinks Romney has a"50-50" shot at beating President Barack Obama.Maher thinks Romney is a dumb "bimbo." So why him?"They've got nobody else. He looks like a president. He ran last time, and Republicansare big on giving the nomination to the guy who has stood in line. They gave it to (Bob)Dole. They gave it to (John) McCain."And who's going to beat him? I don't think (Mike) Huckabee. I don't think Sarah Palin.Even Republicans know she's a joke," says Maher, who performs Friday and Saturdayat The Orleans.Obama seems beatable now because:"The country is very unhappy, and people are very dumb, and Obama has been adisappointment in a number of different ways," Maher, HBO's "Real Time" host, tellsme.Maher credits Obama for signing three laws: health care reform, financial reform andeconomic stimulus."He did stave off a depression this country was heading straight towards. Those arethree pretty big accomplishments," Maher says."If he could get some kind of climate bill passed, and move us in that direction, I wouldhave to say it's a pretty successful first term."On the other hand, Obama (as Arianna Huffington puts her finger on it) trusts everyonefrom banks to BP to do the right thing. He seems to have zero skepticism of authorityfigures.Plus, various Obama policies mirror Republican policies.
