Dare to give a damn!

Throughout the Obama Administration, the president has been able to count on the solid support of Democrats. Not anymore.
According to the FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll, Obama’s job approval among Democrats has dropped from 84% two weeks ago (June 29-30) to 76% on July 13-14. At 76%, this level of job approval is below any the Fox News poll has ever recorded.
Why the collapse? Most likely it is due to liberal disappointment with the continuation of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the continued use of Guantanamo, Obama’s inability to cope with the oil spill, and his refusal to push immigration reform when he could have passed it before he lost his 60 vote majority. Undoubtedly, the renewed sluggishness in the economy is also playing its part.
Nothing could be worse news for Obama as he enters the 2010 Congressional campaign. Democratic dissatisfaction saps turnout and undermines the president’s efforts to keep his majorities in the House and the Senate.
But Obama is making his troubles worse by his insistence on focusing on his minority voters to the exclusion of even the white liberal electorate. Consider Obama’s decision to sue Arizona over its immigration law. The general electorate backs the Arizona statute by 59-29 according to the FOX News poll. But 38% of Democrats support it as well (50% oppose it). Obama’s refusal to prosecute the Black Panthers for voter intimidation after they stationed themselves outside a Philadelphia polling place in military uniforms with clubs also underscores the growing exclusion of whites of all stripes — including liberals — from the Obama base.
Polarizing the electorate over hot button issues has long been a viable strategy, especially for incumbents in political trouble. But usually they do so along lines that still gives them a majority of the voters. Obama has polarized the voters but has given himself only the short end of the stick. Not very smart.
Solution for liberals who think Obama is not liberal enough;
Learn Spanish and move to Venezuela where you won’t be continaully disappointed that the revolution has not been completely successful.
(In other words, why don’t you all go and %^&$ *()&@#(^$%)
IMHO
Everything’s fine for Obama.... Just as long as they never allow another free and fair election to be held.
“…due to liberal disappointment with the continuation of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the continued use of Guantanamo, …and his refusal to push immigration reform when he could have passed it before he lost his 60 vote majority.”
I call these parts a load of crap; he is a lousy pResident (very few senators make good Presidents), and he is nothing more than a psychotic self-centered lying Racist and Marxist/Leninist ideologue!
Sort of like when the Bolsheviki split out of the Social Democrats. Soetoro = Lenin?
Wow! I was able to assess the worth of this article in the first 10 letters of the source website. Damn, I’m getting good at this!
I think the main reason for the drop isn’t from leftie Dems, but moderates. It’s the economy (a lot of them are out of jobs and expected help), the oil spill and drilling moratorium (a lot of Dems live in the Gulf Coast), and as Morris points out, the AZ law. Morris is wrong about them wanting “immigration reform” though. They want border security first. They certainly don’t want amnesty and more illegals with 20% real unemployment.
Seriously, met an attorney, bright, likeable guy. When I delved into Liberalism and the Socialist Communist links, I got a whats wrong with communism, it hasn't been tried enough or perfected.
He was shocked when I told them they killed over 100 million, best estimates.
can you imagine how great our country would be if the libs
either moved or didn’t vote?
i hope a lot of them take your advice.
I am not so kind, i wish they would just commit suicide.
the only good lib is a dead one.
In Sally Field style, Obama:
No one likes you. We really don't like you!
“He was schocked when I told them they killed over 100 million, best estimates.”
If so, he was a deceitful bugger. He’s probably well aware of what the communists have done since the 1917 revolution and the number of bodies in all those anonymous and camouflaged graves.
IMHO
Watch all those “brilliant” Independents vote, once again, en-masse for all those cuddly Democrats they love so much.
(Whenever they press the lever for the Democrat, they feel intellectual and it enhances their self-esteem.)
IMHO
Hillary! lurks in the shadows.........
“I hope a lot of them take your advice.”
All those lib &^%@#$%%^ haven’t the intestinal fortitude to move to a socialist country.
But, then again, if they did, they just might change it.
They’re so psychotic and contrary that they’d probably want to institute capitalism. But, the powers that be would hand them their heads.
Best regards.
Kindly read my tag.
Speaking of tags, I think Puerto Rico is now a state so your tag is right, 58 states.
Whether you give a rats a** about Dick Morris or not, are you saying the article is not true and factual?
Morris is wrong about them wanting “immigration reform”

How so? Have you not seen the anger the Dems are spewing out on Arizona and Governor Janice Brewer. The Hispanic bloc of Dem voters thought that B. Hussein was going to have an Amnesty Bill within the first 6 months of him taking office; and they are pissed.
Am I right or wrong?
Oh a lot of people like B. Hussein. He’s supposed to be an articulate, intelligent, witty, charming guy; isn’the? Stupid people like him because he can charm a dog off of a meat wagon. I call people like that Charlatans and Cons.
