Here is video of political analyst Dick Morris on The O'Reilly Factor last night where he said some of President Obama's "core support" is now fleeing him. Morris's analysis is preceded by Bill O'Reilly's "Talking Points" segment, focusing on Barney Frank and his Town Hall Meeting.

A primary group of support for Obama and the Democrats has been the elderly, who are no fleeing him because they are terrified of the impact ObamaCare will have on Medicare and on their health care. Their personal security, they feel, is being threatened.

O'Reilly said he believes whenever the Democrats talk down to Americans at the Town Hall Meetings, or demonize them, it is also serving to bring down Obama's support because of the perception they do not respect the opinions of average Americans. But Morris said he believes Obama is more committed to far left principles than he is to getting reelected, and is therefore willing to "march Democrats off the cliff" to get ObamaCare passed. . . . .

Morris needs a new thesaurus. The word he is looking for is evidence not perception.

Please review the article. The passage you cite is attributed to O'Reilly, not Morris.

But you make a really good point. zer0 doesn't seem to understand *anything* fully.

There was a line from the movie A Fish Called Wanda where Wanda tells Kevin Cline's character something like "Morons read philosophy, they just don't understand it." I think that is what we are seeing here. Obama is an idiot with a gian ego. But the people backing him up are true believers. It is the worst of both worlds.

True, but they don't need to go to Tennessee, or Philly for that matter. Just a few carefully chosen swing precincts in a few swing states is all it's going to take.

Also the elderly are the easiest group to intimidate through the use of force. Any wonder why he chose that group to be the first thrown under the Obama bus.

"Morons read philosophy, they just don't understand it."

LOL! Exactly. This line of thinking really started dawning on me seriously when I began thinking about how zer0 will make decisions about troop levels in Afghanistan.

What in his entire life even hints that he's spent 10 minutes thinking about geopolitical military strategies much less anything so specific as the kind of grueling fight necessary in Afghanistan and the region. All he's ever done is fail to organize some communities and be an anti-war poseur.

Honestly, does he exhibit any evidence whatsoever that he has any kind of coherent world view? Or is he just a grab bag of marxist quote-of-the-day bromides?
