So much for hope and change. With the economy growing worse and worse, the grand promises of Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign have faded as the reality of malaise takes hold.
Mr. Obama has vowed to spend $1 billion in advertising dollars to counteract the effect his policies have had on the nation. The GOP’s campaign chief met with The Washington Times on Friday to discuss why that’s not going to work. “I think this [election] is a referendum on Barack Obama,” said Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus. “The people in this country are going to ask themselves a question: ‘Am I better off than I was three or four years ago?’ And the answer is clearly no.”
Even liberals feel betrayed on a number of pet causes like torture and Guantanamo Bay, and they’re jumping ship. The Pew Research Center found Republicans were making huge gains among white voters. In 2008, 46 percent of this demographic group sided with the GOP while 44 percent preferred Democrats. Today, the Republican advantage has grown to 13 points, with the biggest gains found among those under the age of 30.
In other words, the young voters who once identified with the youthful, relatively unknown senator from Illinois are having a severe case of buyer’s remorse. The survey showed Republicans also made a small 2 percent gain among black voters, but larger inroads ought to be possible given the astonishing figure that 16.2 percent of blacks can’t find a job in Mr. Obama’s economy - double the figure for whites. “People are hurting,” said Mr. Priebus. “The problem that Obama has is that he has had results of his presidency, and these results are awful and people know it.”

Looking back on it, it's kind of easy to understand where his commie old man and whore mother were coming from when they abandoned 0 as a child.
Its been kind of funny watching as my liberal relatives dutifully spent the day encouraging republicans to vote yes on the Boehner bill only to see it tabled in the senate without debate.
Malaise and turkey seem to go hand in hand.
That first turkey sandwich the day after thanksgiving always seems great, but after a a few days of the same thing you grow weary of it.
Yo try to mix it up, maybe a little arugula on that turkey sam will perk it up.
More malaise? The turkey is so dry.
Oh God, I am sick of this turkey and malaise.
I thought they wanted to sell him to the Salvation Army.
Great comment; love it.
I guess I’m missing something; I don’t understand your comment underneath the picture.
The NY Times has a slightly different opinion. Read this for a laugh a minute: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2011/07/30/2491197/from-poetry-to-drudgery.html
I used to call him Chaunce, the Gardner, though perhaps, I should have called him Gershom, for he is a stranger in a strange land. He is truly, not of us, he is not an American, regardless of where he was born. He is almost completely deracinated, drifting aimlessly and lost.
He is intellectually about as shallow as any president in history, possibly the most. Warren G. Harding appears to be a towering intellect in comparison. He was waifed along on the Zephyrs of affirmative action and has not the least idea of how the world works, nor his place in it, nor how this nation came to be.
Yes. America is abandoning Barry just like Stanley Ann did. Hope was not a strategy, and change was not a tactic. He WARNED us he would fundamentally change America, and he DID. Here is the result. 45% of everything we spend is borrowed. It is unsustainable. The stimulus was a kickback to political cronies. The bailouts of GM and Chrysler were dirty jokes. Enough already!
He is like a hired manager of a 7-11. (for clarity, he has never held a real job and no one would hire him to run a lemonade stand) His mentality is, it would be ‘nice’ if the store makes a profit. It would be nice if no one shoplifts. It would be nice if the store does not go bankrupt. But, all in all, he really doesn't care. He is not vested anyway. No skin off his nose. (and, it would be good if the store failed. it would teach those evil capitalist owners a ‘lesson’ anyway, about exploiting the working man, about keeping the people down) We have hired a manager who wants the store to fail, or at least, is indifferent to it's failure.
None of this is really real to him. He is just playing a game, getting a chip off his shoulder, and making a point about this inherent foolishness of Democracy and Capitalism. This is all a theoretical exercise to him.
His headache is always those real American’s, Republicans and Democrats, who do actually care about this country, who do care more about America than proving some pie-in-the-sky theory and ‘making a point’. We drive him crazy.
...everything that goes on with Odumbo is unexpectedly....unemployment,inflation,now his popularity, even though we all knew it was all BS....people leaving in groups, is NOT unexpected.....but that’s what the MSM claims every time it happens to him.
-—Mr. Obama has vowed to spend $1 billion in advertising dollars-—
A better descriptive would be laundered stimulus Dollars
The money is being kicked back from the recipients

When we speculate on Obama’s intelligence based on what he has done to the country in his short tenure, we usually assume he is really trying to get this country on its feet again. That is an error. If we assume the opposite, that he is trying to destroy the country, he is succeeding brilliantly. I don’t believe that he is the braintrust behind this coup, but he has certainly proven a useful idiot to those in charge. I wish I knew who “those in charge” were.
"Obama, you think these suckers gonna vote for you again after all your screwups?"
"My screwups? You the one who angered the suckers, gallivanting around in designer outfits."
==========================================
Obama has FAILED in every "government service" he has shoved down our throats while throwing away trillions of tax dollars. There are over 200 taxes being collected so that the govt is blanketed with tax income. AND NOW OBAMA WANTS AMERICANS TO BELIEVE he can be trusted with a higher debt ceiling, a multi-trillion dollar budget, and govt-run health care.
Obama's a reverse King Midas---everything he touches turns to trash.
=======================================
MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Govt can't even run a high-demand business like a house of prostitution. Several years ago, govt took over the Mustang Ranch in Nevada because they didn't pay their taxes; after which it soon closed.
Talk about colonial attitude. He has it in spades. He thought he could step into the presidency and rule us like an ....skip that word...potentate. He thought we were as easily cowed as the citizens of...well, skip the name of that country.
There’s never been a country like America and there has never been a people like Americans. Give him a dacha and let him live out his days playing “if only” and let us follow the statement of Carl Schnurz
“My country right or wrong
If Right to be kept Right
If Wrong to be put RIGHT.”
We’ll put America right again.
