Obama: Democratic voter apathy 'inexcusable'

Admonishing his own party, President Barack Obama says it would be "inexcusable" and "irresponsible" for unenthusiastic Democratic voters to sit out the midterm elections, warning that the consequences could be a squandered agenda for years.

"People need to shake off this lethargy. People need to buck up," Obama told Rolling Stone in an interview to be published Friday. The president told Democrats that making change happen is hard and "if people now want to take their ball and go home, that tells me folks weren't serious in the first place."

Democratic voters are waking up to the reality that we Republican voters had to face over the last decade. The party doesn’t matter. It’s a different face on the same policies; they just got more and bigger of the same mistaken policies with Obama, instead of hope and change. They are dispirited because they are having to face reality. It really doesn’t matter for them if they vote or not. The status quo is unacceptable for them and that’s what they will be voting for.

The answer is quite simple Obama. You are exactly who they said you were. A leftist liar that hung out with scumbag bombers and Chicago crooks. I think most of your former supporters get it now. They see you take trips and act in a condescending imperious manner. I am just hoping the GOP congress does not save your arse.

The sooner he’s able to lecture his cellmates in a Federal facility, the better for the world.

When the female vet came out last week and publically stated she was exhausted defending the President, I knew the turning point was reached.

Obama voters: No, the incompetence you display as President is what is inexcusable.

Obama: Democratic voter apathy ‘inexcusable’......................... Maybe with the current job stats, they gave up all hope, and see no change. Talk doesn’t pay the bills. Take away the part time jobs many have to take and those who’s benefits expired and you will see that we are in a Great Depression. Our current FDR does not have a Global War to bail us out of it.

Everyone should check the rolls of the voters in your area. If you have any DEAD relatives, check to see if they are on the rolls as active voters.
This is a small contribution we can make to assure the SEIU/Acorn types have not co-opted your local voting system.

Hey, Barky, the ‘Buck-Up’ line belongs to Sarah. Quit using her lines and just stick to your own losers like hope and change.

The "folks" were serious, BO; unfortunately they believed your lies. If you had told people what you really meant, and who you really are, they wouldn't have elected you in the first place.

After reading some of these statements made by the president I'm thoroughly convinced he's in dire need of psychiatric assistance.

Biden told a 'Rat audience yesterday to "quit whining". I hope these guys keep chastising their base. By November the only people in the country not pissed at Obama and his flying monkeys will be the welfare brood mares and the hard core ACORN types.....
