GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- If President Barack Obama wants North Carolina in his win column again next year, he might have to count on Elliott Johnson's quiet, even grudging, acceptance rather than the riotous enthusiasm that propelled him to the White House in 2008.

Johnson, a 23-year-old college graduate with a new accounting degree in hand, is an intern at a commercial real estate firm. He would like something more permanent. But many of his college friends aren't finding work, either, and he's counting on a breakthrough in the economy.

"We have to do something different," he said, pausing at a downtown street corner on a sweltering afternoon.

Johnson supported libertarian-leaning Republican Ron Paul, a Texas congressman, for president in 2008, but he's now open to giving Obama a try.

"I feel like there's better out there, but, honestly, I'm not seeing the better right now," he said. "So he may be the best we have."

For the president, struggling against 9.1 percent unemployment and a sluggish economic recovery, that might be as good as it gets these days.

Obama faces the Electoral College, and failure.

The logic escapes me.

[quantim]

But he has a HOT stylish wife.

There very likely is no logic to follow. The person very well may not even exist. Or if he does, he is a MSM plant and will go along and create a fictional narrative the MSM can spin. The MSM is in constant psyops on the American public any longer. 100% in bed with the DEMs and seeking to put them in power. I remember in 2008, it was pointed out one particular “Independent” voter was quoted several times the same day at different events in complete different States (of course pushing the Voting for Obama line).

ME TOO, don't make sense. I think this guy can't get a job because he is an idiot.

Is he saying RON PAUL is to blame for everything, and Obama has yet to have his first term? (scratching head)

They graduate as idiots and they vote same way. Can't help stupid.

[CornBred]

LMAO !!!!!!!!!!!!

[TigerClaws]

Most of the rabid Ron Paul followers have a screw loose.

Amusing that the people who supported Zero the most (the young and the black) are those in far worse shape than before their Messiah took office.

Blacks vote skin color (can you name a majority black nation with full voting rights that’s elected a white as their leader?). The young vote how the media tell them is “cool” to vote.

[Doofer]

The person very well may not even exist.

You might be right.

Well, he is Irish now.

Obama faces more voter anxiety, less excitement

Obama faces less excitement...more excrement.

[combat_boots]

apologies for the double post.

[sportutegrl]

Please tell me that is photoshopped. She didn’t really wear myplate earrings?

[TwoSwords]

It’s Anheusers-Busch’s fault.

[CornBred]

I can’t stop laughing at that picture !

[Right Brother]

They can fabricate stories all they want, but ‘real’ people in ‘real’ pain and ‘real’ sick of the BS, are going to be voting the Marxist out of office.

[kbennkc]

Well, he is Irish now

I should have known, he has really been pounding down the drinks.

[Luke21]

“So he may be the best we have.”

Great campaign theme, Asspress. Same as Jimmy Carter.
