Bin Laden bounce definitely OVER for Obama as new poll shows he could lose the presidency
The Daily Mail (UK) ^ | June 7th 2011 | Daily Mail Reporter

Those who forecast Barack Obama had sealed his second term as president with the killing of Osama Bin Laden look to be wrong.

According to a new poll, the 'Bin laden bounce' has already evaporated

Obama's approval rating surged to 56 per cent in the aftermath of the terrorist's death but now just 47 per cent think he is doing a good job.

But it is domestic policies - notably Obama's handling of the economy - that is driving the frustration of the American public, according to a joint poll conducted by The Washington Post and ABC news.

Fifty-nine per cent, a new high, gave Obama negative marks for his handling of the economy, up from 55 per cent a month earlier.

Empty bank accounts and foreclosed homes trumps killing a 10-year evading raghead.

It’s coming to light that Obama and his boot lickers made the economy WORSE....

I found it remarkable during the campaign in 2008 how much more balanced the coverage of the race in the foreign press was compared to our own MSM.

At least he’ll always have Goolsbee by his side.

Austan Goolsby (”Ichibod Crane”) has just left the fold.

Technically, he never *had* the Presidency, merely was given control by the efforts of the Party of the Single Party State. Thanks Scanian.

Goolsby just quit.

Now if OBAMA would resign——then they could stroll into the sunset, arm in arm.

How long before Obama announces that HE is NOT running for re-election?

Just use your own judgment and some simple arithmetic.

Republicans now out-register Dems, 36%-34%.

45% of Americans receive entitlement payments and count on Dem promises.

Meaning? A very close election in terms of the popular vote.

The electoral college looks worse for Obozo.

A great deal depends on the GOP nominee. If it’s Romney or another RINO, a 3rd party candidate might emerge.

Compared to Obama, “Tough Tony” is as pure as the driven snow.

With Americans realizing Obama's done squadoosh to revive the American economy, no wonder why Obama has to run on his economic record, and it's not a pretty one....

But we need our side to be hammering that fact home.

So far little in the way of something official is happening. The DNC chair, DWS, in constantly being quoted with her stupid remarks. Where is the RNC chair taking her on: if only to point and laugh at her absurdity? Its not enough to hope her thoughts are deemed stupid on their face. Our side has to make the point loudly and often that she and Zero are loons and liars.

Where are the freshmen in Congress demanding the budget be cut and offering ammendments to do so at every opportunity? Why are there not constant ammendments that defund zerocare on every bill?

We cannot sit idly by and let the dumbles implode on their own. We have to help them to the next stumble.

So far we are NOT doing it.

Zero should be toast by now. He is weakened but he is anything but defeated. We will NOT have the press on our side and they are still a major players, especially in the blue cities.

Its not impatience on my part. But I don’t see the ardor to win and the constant pressure that is needed to make it happen.

I hope I am wrong.

his complete bungling of the situation with Israel, while being upstaged by Bibi certainly didn’t help the “Challenged One”

More and more, people are catching on that our president is a complete moron.
