The more America knows, the more it grows!

As he has since January, this week, Barack Obama enjoyed much more visibility as far as the public was concerned than did John McCain. By a margin of 76% to 11% respondents in Pew's weekly News Interest Index survey named Obama over McCain as the candidate they have heard the most about in recent days. But the same poll also shows that the Democratic candidate's media dominance may not be working in his favor. Close to half (48%) of Pew's interviewees went on to say that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately. And by a slight, but statistically significant margin - 22% to 16% - people say that recently they have a less rather than more favorable view of the putative Democratic nominee.
In contrast, if anything, Pew's respondents said they want to hear more, not less about the Republican candidate. Just 26% in the poll said they had heard too much about McCain, while a larger number (38%) reported that they had heard too little about the putative Republican candidate. However, as for Obama, a slight plurality reports that recently they have come to have a less favorable view of McCain rather than a more favorable view of him - (23% to 18%).
Not surprisingly, a very large number of Republicans say they have heard too much about Obama lately. But 51% of independents shared this opinion, and as many as a third of Democrats thought so too.

They’re all Bama’d out.
It’s a vicious (but wonderfully so) cycle in the making. The more he slips in the polls, the more frenzied his msm bootlickers become in heaping praise and laud on their god, the more exposure Obama gets, the more gaffes he commits, the more the public tires of his gaffes and the more they see he is an empty suit, the more he slips in the polls....repeat cycle....
The kids will be the ones that abandon him first. Their attention span is far too short for them to stay with him long enough to deliver the votes he is expecting.
“Words? Just words?”
Yessiree bob.
Mr. Obama is turning into a caricature of himself.
The mere mention of the messiah makes me nauseous anymore. I wonder if it could be considered a hate crime if I puked on a liberal while discussing the chosen one?
I’m sick of the media darling for sure!.....
And I also think that buyer's remorse is setting in and that if Hillary makes a play at the convention, she might actually get some traction.

Yeah, all of us in fly over country have heard enough. The drive-bys can’t get it through their thick heads that we don’t worship this guy the way they do.
I am 100% sick of hearing about Obammy Hussein O’Baloney.
Also there are way, WAY too many pictures of this guy around and his pictures give me the absolute creeps. The guy is an empty suit, a cipher, the Stepford candidate, a Manchurian candidate, a BS artist and an evil, commie, socialist, Islamofascist Muslim in sheeps, donkey, wolf’s or goats clothing.
He looks just like Alfred E. Newman. With maybe bigger ears.
He’s creepy, just plain creepy.
The more he is exposed the less popular he will be. I am enjoying the first signs of panic in the drive by media. After Clinton on tv yesterday saying the Constitution gives the requirements for President I am begginning to wonder about the Obama birth certificate reports I have seen on Free Republic???? Maybe there is something to it.
It’s a great thought, and it certainly would be hysterical if the clinton’s actually pulled it off.
But isn’t he the Messiah, the one we heard about from the Germans? Did he not do great feats and miracles? But, nay, he was not present and, when present, voted “Present”. No bill came forth from his rhetoric. While refuting the fallacies of the surge, he refused comfort to the afflicted. Indeed, he flipped the flop of an energy plan. And so they crucified him and nailed him to the truth of his ways.
