How's That Hope and Change Working Out for Obama Supporters?

Obama's 2012 campaign slogan:

I HOPE you didn't notice that things CHANGED for the worse!

[apillar]

Obama is always going to have the 40% hard core “hope and change” folks. His problem in 2012 is the other 12%.A lot of people I know bought into the “8 years of Bush is too much” “it's time to give the other side a shot” line. They really had no love for Obama, he was just the other option. Virtually all of them have turned against him and most voted Republican in 2010. I can't see anyway he could get them back in 2012. The only way I could see Obama winning is if a 3rd party splits the vote and he can win with his 40% Kool-Aid drinkers.

Good article, although the author needs to learn the difference between raising the question and begging the question.

"...sensible people from the left..."

I think you answered your own question. :)

[jospehm20]

I personally do not think that the people who voted for and foisted Barky on the rest of the country have suffered enough.

Difference is you EARNED those checks!!!!

Thank you for your service!!!

I know this is a conservative site but I wonder why we don’t have any sensible people from the left come here and explain why a Democrat is a Democrat—I did say sensible.

You ever met a sensible liberal Democrat? I haven't. Ergo, Jim Rob doesn't allow them here, and I back him on that 100%

Stupidity should be painful,very painful.I agree,they have not suffered nearly enough but they will.18 months living in a box can be an awful long time.;)

...they will respond in big numbers in 2012.

I don't agree. I'm not saying they're going to run out and vote for the Republican, but I can see a lot of them staying home.

[sinanju]

My opinion exactly, they’d rather be hoisted by their thumbs than admit their mistake. They won’t vote republican, they’ll just stay home on election day.

[danielmryan]

Good article. It throws the liberals' 'voting one's real interest' canard back at them.

When I see an Obammy 08 bumper sticker I look and pity the poor fool.
Specially if I see some white fool. I expect it from blacks but white guilt should be over after this marxist magic negro

[Caipirabob]

This is what they want.

Obama didn't come to fix the economy, he came to bury it.

[skeeter]

You know what kind of check I was talking about.
