Barack Obama rode the widespread fear following the bank collapses of 2008 to the White House. 53#% of American voters put aside doubts of little experience and no major accomplishments to elect the first-term Senator from Illinois. Under ordinary circumstances, it appears that Obama would not even be considered a viable candidate. Instead, he rode these factors into the White House.
But how many people actually consider themselves ideological kin with the President? Sure, there are many Californians driving Priuses or Subarus with Obama/Biden stickers still prominently displayed but what about the voters in non-liberal regions?
The answer: not many.
Apparently many people like Obama's personality or promise but not his actual ideological background. Further, much of the Democrats' tactics boil down to scaring people about the GOP.

(Sniffle) That's so true.
Heck, what's not to like? High unemployment, High food prices, High gas prices, High utility costs, Record home foreclosures, Bank closings, Investment losses, Stock market losses, Obamacare, A world-class culture in decline, overrun with terrorists and illegals, Trillions of US dollars guzzled by Mideast hellholes.... China dumping US Treasuries, $14 Billion loss on auto bailouts AND billions more in foreign aid to countries holding US Treasury notes.......as Americans lose their homes and nest eggs.
I guess the DNC will create a campaign based on Ohaha's "financial genius." And besides, Obama needs another four years so Michelle can gallivant around the globe in designer fashions, stay at luxe hotels, and eat lobster (sniffle).
THIS JUST IN News Reports Say Job Market Far Worse Than It Appears; raw numbers are downright scary.
Oh, happy day, now the DNC has a-n-o-t-h-e-r good reason to reelect Ohaha.
=========================================
Obamas approval ratings appear to have steadily risen the past two months (course they only polled Dems). Getting rid of putrid Rahm, stashing the execrable Gibbs and Axelrod out of sight (behind the scenes in the reelection effort) was a good thing for Ohaha. And Pelosi out of the way, no longer praising Ohaha, and his healthcare plan, is also working well.
But look closely, voters.... as 2012 looms, Ohaha's looking less human by the minute---more like a vote-crazed, wild-eyed robot, mouthing sound bites.
SEE THE SYNCHRONIZED CANDIDATE Stay tuned. From hereonin everything he says will sound like a focus group sound-bite......with pre-programmed voice inflections, and synchronized hand and head gestures.
They may not agree, (or more appropriately understand), his politics, but they do agree with his willingness to steal from fellow Americans for their benefit
Obamas Deficit Avalanche isnt Bushs Fault scottuystarnes.com / 2/9/2010
Washington Times reports: Even more staggering than the mountains of snow in the capital are the deficits the Obama administration plans for the next decade. Huge spending increases will add about $12 trillion to the national debt for budget years 2009 to 2020. The scariest part is that these deficits are based on unrealistic budgeting assumptions; the real fiscal outlook is much bleaker. In the proposed 2011 budget, the White House defensively attacks the irresponsibility of past deficits.
For example, the 2009 budget deficit of $1.4 trillion is blamed on the George W. Bush administration as if President Obamas $862 billion stimulus package and more than $400 billion supplemental spending bill had nothing to do with it. Mr. Obamas planned 2010 budget deficit rises to an even higher record level of $1.6 trillion.
By comparison, all of Mr. Bushs deficits from 2002 to 2008 the seven years during which his team had the most control over the budget produced a combined deficit of $2.1 trillion. Obama has spent more in 2 years than Bush did in 7 years. Obamas BIOB (Blame it on Bush) defense just wont work anymore.
Ohaha got ready for 2012 by ditching hated staff like Gibbs, Emanuel, Axelrod. Now I bet he wishes he hadn't done that. Another plus is that this time around Ohaha doesn't have Teddy Kennedy running defense for him.
There's a lot of agita in the WH as they try to figure out what to do next.
The Anointed One's original plan was to access the billions stashed offshore, looted from the US Treasury's trillion dollar stim and TARP scams, expecting to be reelected by acclamation. Then he could chortle about hundreds of millions of "donations" for the billion dollar candidate (as he bills himself).
That ain't gonna happen----not looking good for Ohaha:
=============================================
Remember, Ohaha raised a whopping $750 million for his 2008 presidential bid----- purportedly from "anonymous foreign donors" who flooded his 2008 campaign with hundreds of thousands of relatively small, untraceable illegal donations. That was then. This is now.
ITEM Obama's so-called "2012 fundraising network" and his billion dollar campaign war chest are phonies. He claimed to be the first billion dollar candidate---but it won't be from "campaign donations" and "fund-raisers." He has already downsized the "billion dollar campaign" due to public scrutiny.
ITEM Obama held an "intentionally small" DNC fund-raiser dinner at the Red Rooster in Harlem -----meaning they couldn't even giveaway tickets to the $30,000 per head funder....even from Black voters.
ITEM Obama's Boston fundraiser started out as a $5,000 a plate then dropped to $500 a plate ... but he still could not fill the roomOhaha ended up talking to a little over 100 people.
Ohaha is between a rock and a hard place. Ohaha's seen the poll numbers showing Republicans rising in approval, and his own liberal base is disintegrating, many are disgusted he let Republicans take the lead on the budget.
