Why Obama’s Popularity is Falling
Grand Rants ^ | 01-17-10 | Alan Speakman

Posted on 01/17/2010 11:00:34 AM PST by Stoutcat

In his Jan 15, 2010 op-ed piece, Charles Krauthammer offered his explanation for President Obama’s falling ratings…

"The reason for today’s vast discontent, presaged by spontaneous national Tea Party opposition, is not that Obama is too cool or compliant but that he’s too left."

While I think Dr. Krauthammer is right, I believe he missed something. Americans are tired of our elected officials lying to us. We’re sick and tired of promises made in the heat of a campaign only to be casually broken once the office is secured...

I doubt even Black America will turn out for him...
Seriously, what has Lord O done for them? Where is the free money...I mean, reparations?

no pony, no vote.

I think Mr. Speakman is right on. I’ve noticed on the blogs the Obummer being referred to as “the lying King”. I’d love to see a poster of a mangy lion head with the imperious Obama’s mug on it entitled “The Lying King”.

I’m waiting for some politician that will level with us and tell us the refreshing, though terrible, truth.

This is where we are, this is where we want to be, and it will take pain and sacrifice to get there and save ourselves and our children’s future. We will create a stable atmosphere for business so they can plan and that is all the government will do for you. If you are destitute and need help, you need to depend on the generosity of your family and neighbors and help each other. Government can’t do it anymore.

That would be a winning strategy if it was more than just a strategy.

I’m not holding my breath waiting for any politician to say things like that though.

Cue up the full blown chants from the left that Obama failed because the country is too racist.

A good man, a decent man, demonized by the MSM and deserted by the wobblies.

I miss Dubya, when there was not double digit unemployment, the nationalization of industries, and we had terrorists on the run.

Don’t be fooled by what you see libs and lefties being bummed out over by The One. If he were as left as they really want him to be they’d be in Heaven. As unhappy as his supporters appear to be, it isn’t for the reasons you may think and that’s something to be very concerned about.

Because Americans are finally taking their heads out of the sand and waking up to what we have known all along:

Obama is nothing but a wicked, SELF-SERVING, ungoldy, black racist, communist, socialist, Marxist, who HATES America and ALL that it stands for; loves (and pals around with) foreign and domestic terrorists more than America and her people and wants to turn America into a socialist third-world hell hole by bankrupting the ENTIRE system and replacing it with his version of socialist communist "OBAMALAND" where all of his friends and supporters become the new "overlords" while the rest of us subserviant peons pay for it all as their willing slaves.

They’ve already got their reparations in the form of affirmative action, decades of public assistance, tons of government and private charities that cater specifically to blacks, minority beauty pageants etc, etc...

Dr. K’s brilliance shins the light of truth through all of Obamas BS.

Even though obammy hasn’t paid their lectric bills and bought them flashy cars you have to know blacks will support this ass clown regardless if he is found in bed with young boys.

Because he is an unrepentant liar who is only concerned about himself.

Because he cares nothing for other people who he feels are there for use and rejection when their usefulness to him is over

Because he hates America and is doing whatever he can to destroy it from within.

Never mind the list is almost endless.

Obama ran as a "blank screen" ... he said you could project ANYTHING on it you wanted. This will get you elected. But he cannot be everything to everyone ... and in the end everyone is disappointed. Blank Screen Politics is a good way to win, but a sure fire loser in the end.
