Disappointed Supporters Question Obama By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
WASHINGTON — It was billed as “Investing In America,” a live televised conversation between President Obama and American workers, students, business people and retirees on the state of the economy, a kind of Wall Street to Main Street reality check.
But it sounded like a therapy session for disillusioned Obama supporters.
In question after question in Monday’s one-hour session, which took place at the Newseum here and was televised on CNBC, Mr. Obama was confronted by people who said, in short, that they had expected more from him. People from Main Street wanted to know if the American dream still lived for them. People from Wall Street complained that he was treating them like a piñata, “whacking us with the stick,” in the words of a former law school classmate of Mr. Obama’s who now runs a hedge fund.
“I’m exhausted of defending you, defending your administration, defending the mantle of change that I voted for,” said the first questioner, an African-American woman who identified herself as a chief financial officer, a mother and a military veteran. “I’ve been told that I voted for a man who was going to change things in a meaningful way for the middle class, and I’m waiting, sir, I’m waiting. I still don’t feel it yet.”

Where’s my pie? Loan bailouts? Free tanks of gas?
Snicker, snicker. I wonder how she got by security? They must have figured if she was black she would be an ardent Obama supporter. Bwahahahahaha.
What more of a startling rebuke of this charlaton does America need before it wakes up. At this hour, this poser is absolutely fuming and raving at his subordinates for getting into this ‘live’ uncontrollable situation. Heads will effing roll, they will roll.
Although someone once said, "the liberal media always eat their dead.
I guess they have to, in order to cover up the record.
Bump for more exposure.
When Obama can’t even competently choreograph his town hall meetings, you know he’s in trouble.
0bama is a great example of the difference between “implied” and “inferred”.
He “implied” he was a messiah.
His supporters “inferred” that they’d be “gettin’ paid”.
None of any consequence................
How come you ain’t paid my mortgage yet, dog?
UH oh, they dared question The Wun.
Now they’ll face his wrath.
(Wizard of Oz style.)
If you have the seen the video, watch Obama’s response. He’s fresh out of ideas, rambling on one topic off another.
If he gets this kind of treatment too much, he might rethink his campaign for second term. The praise, the cult-like following will no longer be there, and he just can not accept it.
Anybody who voted for 0bama ought to be in therapy and be treated with strong head meds. They’re obviously delusssional.
I'm going out on a limb and predicting a new Index low tomorrow morning. StrApprove won't find a new low but the StrDisapprove will scrape close to 50%.
To truly feel the effects of Hope and Change, you must be willing to bend over.
Wow.
” The praise, the cult-like following will no longer be there, and he just can not accept it. “
No worries - he’ll always have MSNBC to provide ‘the praise, the cult-like following’.....
