In the Tar Heel State, where Democrats will converge next year to dutifully renominate him for a second term, "Obama's most ardent supporters in Durham's black community worry that waning enthusiasm among African-Americans may prevent him from repeating his razor-thin North Carolina victory of 20008," writes Boston Globe reporter Tracy Jan.
Ms. Jan quotes a 52-year-old black woman standing in line at the employment office, saying she "can't muster the will to support Obama for a second term."
"I don't see what he's done. I'm not even going to waste my time and vote," this Democrat said.
In Durham County, where the president spoke, nearly 20 percent of its black voters are jobless, and Mr. Obama's job-approval rating has dropped, even among this most loyal constituency, who have suffered under his rule more than any other segment of the state's electorate.
Nationally, black unemployment has surged to 16.7 percent, the highest since 1984, and a front-page story in Tuesday's Washington Post is ominously titled, "Can Obama hold on to black voters in 2012?" |

Dem turnout doesn’t look good and it doesn’t appear the Indy’s will break his way.

Even most of the idiots can see through this evil man.

I think the zero is just going through the motions now. He can’t wait to move out of the White House in January 2013.

And he and Michelle are spending every dime they can in the mean time.

This just can’t be true. I just read a 3-page Politico article from Drudge that Superstar Michelle Obama is in full campaign mode now, dazzling the Dems at fundraisers with stories of how human Barack is and how he is working so hard and never takes a day off......

The other day Levin read zero’s schedule for a couple of days - one appearance at an (campaign) event on each day that he got to by using AF1 - at our expense of course.
I’d say he’s a worthless piece of $shit but to the communists he’s really quite valuable - smiles his big smile - convinces the masses he’s a nice guy - while behind the scenes he’s working to destroy us.

Do you remember how euphoric those Obama voters were on inauguration day? Quite a difference to what we are seeing and hearing today.

Speaking of Ataaaaaaaack waaaaaaaatch.
Has anybody thought to report Big Time A.J. from Houston?
He did an awesome smack down of some rad-lib yesterday on Hannity.

A good 20% of Zero’s vote count will be fraudulent. Of that there is no doubt.

Nothing like a communist “useful idiot” realizing that they’ve been used and are an idiot. They’ll never admit that they have been supporting communism, though.

(Obama in NC on bus tour)Obama seen with his Black Bus....and AF1 in the back ground. Can anyone find out just how many times AF1 was required to lift off and touch down during this "bus tour"? Millions of $$$$ spent on this Jobs Bill campaign tour....Obama is Liar in Chief and as such can be tried for crimes against the USA.

I’m thinking Baraq will either be a commentator on MSNBC (from their Havana studio) or run for President of Kenya.
