As right-wing protesters dominated the news this summer, it would have seemed the perfect opportunity for Obama's much-touted organizers to drown out the conservatives with some coordinated agitation of their own. But they barely made a ripple. Where were they? And how could such a formidable grassroots operation-having just put Obama in office-fall quiet so quickly?

[Izzy Dunne]

They were activating the grass. know whatta mean, Vern?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Money ran out.

[C210N]

Where are the grassroots supporters? Where do small foreign credit card donors go once the computer application that generated them {donald duck, mickey mouse, crusader rabbit...} exits, and the icon is then just sitting on the desktop?

[besides just sitting there in wait for the next election cycle]

I thought everyone knew.... Obama’s grassroots money came from two places that were anything but (american) grass roots; Soros and powerful interests, and a network of money funneling from China and foreign interests

[Real Cynic No More]

uhhhh, I think Acorn is having “Management Issues”.

[sickoflibs]

Bush is gone, they won. Now they are waiting for their reward, 1) stimulus, 2) GM bailout, 3) free health care paid by those rich greedy republicans.

Sounds like I am kidding, but it’s natural political dynamics. Many freepers didnt get this result of losing.

[Past Your Eyes]

My guess is that most of them are going to be too lazy to actually turn out and vote for him again. At least that is what I am hoping for.

[TexasFreeper2009]

fame is fleeting, obama is so “yesterday” among the youth, they have moved on to the latest Disney created skank.

[sickoflibs]

Another McCain or Die thread. More surpised freepers that libs are relaxing while conservatives are orgainizing. Imagine if that other guy won...

[VanDeKoik]

That army was just Facebook “friends” and bandwagoneers that fell for a slogan and lots of hype and the opportunity to make “history”.

This detail stuff is just, you know, like boring and junk.

[BunnySlippers]

They are ACORN & SEIU. As far as I’m concerned, they’re still around.

[mudblood]

They collapsed into the singularity of their own identities...not even light can escape....

[Sir Gawain]

Yeah that stuff’s too hard. Can’t I just wear my Che shirt?

What happened to Obama's massive network of grassroots activists?

Soros stopped paying them.

[Buckeye McFrog]

wha.....Obama? Dude, that is SO 2008!!!

[equalitybeforethelaw]

The union steward required higher pay?

[MamaDearest]

Obama's much-touted organizers to drown out the conservatives with some coordinated agitation of their own.

Clearly this edict was meant to cause social unrest and incite racial tensions where applicable. Not very presidential behavior whatsoever. In fact, thuggery advocated by a world leader.

[TexasCajun]

Logistic Problem!

"Obama was so like um last year!" ~ Former Obama Activist

[bicyclerepair]

They found out he wouldn’t pay their mortgage and fill their tank.

Peggy Joseph is a Maroon!

[The Wizard]

the bomb and his minions must go

[wac3rd]

Uh, well, uh, the is no grassroots movement, it’s all funded by SEIU, ACORN, trial lawyers, enviromental groups (Saudi/Iran) and Soros (globalists).

Their thinly veiled lies are easy to spot, go to a Moveon.org rally, it’s comical.

[sportutegrl]

What happened to Obama's network of grassroots activitists?

Secretly they are suffering from some buyer's remorse. But, The Grassroots will only admit to that in their Midnight Confessions.

You may not have noticed this but astroturf does not actually grow. It just sits there and then after a while the real grass starts poking through.
