Americans are so "scared" they're not thinking straight about the upcoming elections, President Obama said over the weekend, as he sought to explain why voters are turning to Republican candidates.
The president, speaking at several rallies and fundraisers as part of his final get-out-the-vote stretch, said Republican candidates are "playing on fear" and suggested voters are falling for it. He said Americans have every reason to be worried, but lamented that "facts" aren't doing his party any good this year.
"People out there are still hurting very badly, and they are still scared. And so part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we're hard-wired not to always think clearly when we're scared," Obama said at a Democratic fundraiser Saturday in Boston. "And the country is scared, and they have good reason to be."

He must be referring to 2008.
I’ve been scared ever since he was elected.
We are thinking clearly and it is the Democrats who are scared.

Get him a STRAITJACKET ! ! !
I dunno, I think fear focuses your thoughts quite well. It's called survival instinct.
If we really get "scared", bambi will be too...
Many years ago, my Daddy told me it was possible to sugar coat a turd. But once all the sugar was licked off, it was still a turd. The American sheeple have just about licked off all the sugar on the ObaMao turn and don’t like what they see.
Der Fuhrer!
The Boogie Man in the Oval Office wants to know why voters are scared. Anyone have any ideas?
How about "Scared and hyperalert because of the last two years"? The storm winds of Obama have finally cleared away the fog the Dems had been using to hide their aims.
Fear the people, Zero. If they can vote out their Congressmen, they won’t hesitate to throw you under the bus. I love the smell of napalm in November ...
Umm...Education did nothing for you Obambi. People are not scared, they are mad as hell!
You might of scared us at the beginning, I admit that the millions of small businesses that closed were scared shtless over your election. People that knew what you were all about used to be frightened.
But now they are angry, and you are going to pay for that. We should not have to be afraid of any political leader, and thats what you just didnt understand, O “Educated” One!
Its only normal that the people of this wonderful nation turn from being afraid of what you will do to them, to now plotting what they can do to you. Its that old “get even” game, that you are so good at. Now its backfired on you, the fear has turned to such anger that people cant put it in words.
But we all feel it, even you. You know it, we know it.
You got it.
The left made a mistake and put a revolutionary Marxist in power,
and the rest of us “frogs” woke up to the fact that it’s jump now or we’re cooked.
Another lecture from professor dipsh!t.
