So much for hope and change. With the economy growing worse and worse, the grand promises of Barack Obamas 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 GOPs campaign chief met with The Washington Times on Friday to discuss why thats 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 theyre 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 buyers 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 cant find a job in Mr. Obamas 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.
