O’s magic wanes

So, has the magic gone?
Sure, there’s always a certain level of excitement during a presidential visit. The motorcade, the prospect of a wave here, a photo op there, for a few brief hours being the center of the political universe.
Asked about the “why” of today’s visit by Barack Obama on his behalf, Gov. Deval Patrick said, “He’s the president of the United States. I haven’t been doing this so long that it doesn’t excite me that the president of the United States would come along and take up our cause.”
Other good Democrats, running in other parts of the country, have not been so eager to be side-by-side with this president. But, hey, this is Massachusetts and if Obama didn’t do much to save the Senate campaign of Martha Coakley, well, that wasn’t his fault.
But some 10 months later the landscape has indeed changed. Hundreds of millions of federal dollars have been sent back to Massachusetts - for Medicaid, for roads and bridges, for public employee salaries - and we’re supposed to be grateful.
But an increasing number of Massachusetts voters - the realists among us - are unhappy and disillusioned. (Suffolk University’s latest poll showed 56 percent of independent voters disapprove of Obama.)

Notice how he only speaks in front of hand picked college kids these days. He can’t afford to to talk to folks who actually work for a living.
There are so many parallels!
Gosh he and Biden have visited Ohio so often that they have to be close to residency status.The only problem though is everytime he comes on behalf of Gov Strickland Kacsich’s numbers go up. LOL
It came from a tall, supercilious-looking Rocket, who was tied to the end of a long stick. He always coughed before he made any observation, so as to attract attention.
I read from the WH insider blogs that Pelosi hates him-— remember when she was leaping up and down behind him like the messiah had come?, lol
He has and will continue to cause irreparable harm to America. Unless he is removed in 2011 then it is probably over.
The idiots who watch TV have no clue.
Each time they visit they create more disdain.
I say keep it up chumps.
and even the coolege kids have to audition, lol
He couldn't be any more unpopular in Ohio if he showed up wearing a Michigan jersey.
No more unexpected questions for him. If he can't use the prompter he at least needs to memorize the answers to questions he knows are coming.
For 75% he’s too liberal, for 20% he’s not liberal enough, and for 5% he’s just...the right color.
“He can’t afford to to talk to folks who actually work for a living”.
...nor can he afford to get questions that aren’t already answered in the teleprompter.
What is that first picture from?
And who does that sound like?
Indeed! LoL!
