Why Are Nearly Half the Voters Still Slobbering Over Obama?

I don’t get it. According to Rasmussen, 47 percent of likely voters approve of the job President Obama is doing.

They called Ronald Reagan the Teflon president but the title now belongs to Barack Obama. Nothing sticks to him. Not Fast and Furious, not the trouble associated with ObamaCare, not Benghazi, not the IRS scandal, not the deal for Bergdahl, I’m betting not the border crisis and not anything else, including his less than forceful response to Mr. Putin for Russia’s role in the Malaysian plane disaster.

The mere fact that they’re slobbering should itself be a huge clue.

In much the same way that an abused woman cannot/will not break off the relationship

As I'm reading through the thread, you're the first poster to say something that has relevance to breaking into that 47%.

I'll bring your statement one step further. That abused woman will leave the bad relationship if she has confidence that a new better one is available. There has to be clarity about why that new relationship is better. A new political relationship with the Republican Party? They talk the talk, then make so many compromises that they deliver on nothing.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...won't get fooled again"

Voters are not going to leave the known bad deal with Obama for what might be a worse deal with the 'pubs, who stand for nothing.

There are probably only 40 million people in the US who watch the News…

Because 47% of the population get stuff from the government instead of paying taxes. Apparently about 10% of those people have stopped slobbering because it turns out not all of the “free stuff” is actually free.

Maybe that’s the problem when you consider the News is controlled by the NY slimes, NBC, CBS, ABC & CNN.

Good point.

Trading one abusive relationship for another serves does the victim no good at all.

I meet a lot of young people in their 30’s who don’t have any faith in the political process and when pressed, will admit they do not vote. Those who do vote figure their individual vote won’t matter anyway. After the will of the California voters was ignored twice by the court system on gay marriage, I understand their doubt and hesitancy. I still vote though.

Back in 2007 and 2008, they developed an emotional bond with him that will not be broken. This transcends the political realm. It’s a heart-and-soul emotional attachment.

It's a form of spiritual blindness. The "great deception" as it were.

I believe that the inner city Democrat voters voted twice for Obama because they perceive that it was in their best economic interest to do so.
That is where they must be convinced by the Republican Party. You want to convince the inner city Democrat voters to vote Republican. Put out some commercials about the water getting turned off in Detroit.
Just show a hand going to a faucet and turning it on with no water coming out. The narrator says, “Here’s what voting Democrat for fifty years in Detroit got them.” They can understand that.

People are blind to the evil under their noses because Satan also owns them. You either belong to God or you belong to Satan. Those who belong to God possess the necessary discernment to identify evil.

I quit wacko tobacco when it quit working after three times in Viet Nam. I quit drinking when the hangovers lasted 3 days. I use a lot of Honey and Cinnamon for arthritis. What don,t hurt don't work.

For the same reason here in Wisconsin Scott Walker will probably have a close race with a liberal airhead named Mary Burke. Walker brought the state out of deep debt and broke the power of the unions that put the state in the red. Burke has no qualifications other than an advisor to her father’s business. A lot of her past was spent snowboarding in Colorado...no lie. Many libs in this state would vote for Jeffrey Dahmer over Walker.

“If he was eligible to run again, he would be reelected in a landslide no matter who ran against him.”

I doubt it; when is the last time you saw an Obama sticker on a car?

It’s been years; even the hardcore leftist stormtroops (public school teachers) don’t sport them anymore (and I live in NJ!).

These are the people that must be disenfranchised if the Republic is to survive.

“I believe that the inner city Democrat voters voted twice for Obama because they perceive that it was in their best economic interest to do so.”

An increasing share of the former middle class believes the same thing; they can’t find worthwhile work, and think gubmint handouts can give them some semblance of the standard of living we used to have.

“That is where they must be convinced by the Republican Party. You want to convince the inner city Democrat voters to vote Republican. Put out some commercials about the water getting turned off in Detroit. Just show a hand going to a faucet and turning it on with no water coming out. The narrator says, “Here’s what voting Democrat for fifty years in Detroit got them.” They can understand that.”

I’m sure as an election neared every ghetto resident would have their water back on; that is how it works. Ghetto people are swayed by what was on TV the night before the election; there is no analysis beyond that...
