The Obamagasmic are waking up to the reality their man ain't The One after all:
Hope has turned to doubt and disenchantment for almost half of President Barack Obama's supporters.
More than 4 of 10 likely voters who say they once considered themselves Obama backers now are either less supportive or say they no longer support him at all, according to a Bloomberg National Poll conducted Oct. 7-10.
Three weeks before the Nov. 2 congressional elections that Republicans are trying to make a referendum on Obama, fewer than half of likely voters approve of the president's job performance. Likely voters are more apt to say Obama's policies have harmed rather than helped the economy. Among those who say they are most enthusiastic about voting this year, 6 of 10 say the Democrat has damaged the economy.
Hmmm... so the blame Bush mantra's falling on deaf ears...
Interesting.

Quite a feat, really.
Obama had dem control of the house and Senate, a MSM that not only worshipped him (Obama is like a god) but also avoided bad news stories and made the word "unexpected" a cliche. He had an irrelevant opposing minority party. Hell, he also won a Nobel prize for something or other.
With all this working for him, he's still blown it.
Quite a feat.
Time for an addendum to Rules for Radicals.
Don't elect incompetence.

More Obamanomics:
GE given $24.9 MILLION in 'stimulus funds', and then lays off 18,000 workers.
Part of the funds: "the Department of Justice gave GE $999,955 in stimulus money. "The goal of this program," said Recovery.gov, "is to develop a comprehensive reasoning system for event and scenario recognition for an intelligent video system."
Huh?
Closer to the truth would be that parent company GE was given slush funds for favorable treatment and comments on GE-owned NBC.

Expect to hear Hussein DEMAND blacks vote in November, lest they "lose their rights" and "once again become slaves!" This will be a MAJOR push by the White House. Now if a conservative were to threaten WHITES with the loss of THEIR rights should they fail to vote, will the MSM declare him a racist???

I'll own up. I grew up in Ma and voted democrat when younger. Voted for Ted and all the others. Carter was my last democrat vote.
It eventually dawned on me that dems usually engaged in nothing but personal attacks and never defended their records. Repubs seemed to play by adult rules.
The last straw for me was Carter essentially blaming the american people (the malaise speech).
Wonder if Obama will end up doing that?

Oh they'll vote alright. They will be coerced and/or dead, but vote they will. Those stimulus checks were not given because Barry was doing a good job, Quite the opposite. They were given as a get out the vote reward.
