Obama's job 'tougher than he thought': Some voters don't blame president

A “few” shifting out of a dozen is quite a significant change for someone who won by a 7% margin, especially since they probably cherry-picked the folks to quote...:^)

The main premise of 0bama being denied reelection is that voters who voted for him will now change their votes to the Republican candidate. Those voters will come mostly from the independent group, not from much from the Democrats. Surely not from the Blacks (unless the R candidate is Cain). So, it's important to hear from the independents, not from the Dhims.

There’s a t-shirt graphic of Bush going around lib circles which basically blames Bush and says that people are blaming Obama because he’s black.

>> But about a dozen people who voted for him interviewed yesterday at the Deerfield Fair... only a few said they would definitely vote for someone else.

Here's what keeps the ‘Rats up nights:

“A few” (Three? Four? Five? You know it's at least three or they would have said it differently) out of “about a dozen” “would definitely vote for someone else”.

That's a loss of 25% or more of his support -- and you *know* they picked that "about a dozen" from his *base*. Barky is hemorrhaging voters, and spin pieces like this won't close the wound.

The Kenyan is toast.

Poor little Barry tried. It’s not his fault that real jobs are much harder than being a community organizer.

It’s not that hard, if you have a lapdog propaganda media supporting your agenda.

See my tagline.

I’d think there would exist just a single person in the crowd who knows what the hell Obama’s done.

Would you, as a conservative, talk with the MSM? I wouldn't. I would figure they would just drop my quote if it didn't fit their agenda.

Amazed his experience as a cupcake salesman didn’t properly prepare him.

That IS a tough job - especially for the stupid.

This collection of interviews seems to take place at an event in New Hampshire. I hope that there are other places with people who hold other opinions!

I was at a local VFW and there were three retired union guys that had voted for the obummer in '08 and now it is only one out of the three says he will still vote that way.

I know it's only a small sample but more and more I'm hearing that folks that voted for him are disappointed with the one, and I've NEVER heard a voter that voted against him say that they will switch and vote for him in 2012.

For a state that prides (and promotes) itself as being politically informed and ‘plugged in’ - these residents display a remarkable ignorance about the overall political scene. The blame Republicans in Congress for blocking everything, yet the Democrats had overwhelming control of the Congress for 4 of the last 5 years - based on what I hear, see and read around here for the last 20 years - ‘NH Yankees’ including prominent, the Republican ‘emeritus elite’ are remarkably comfortable with siding with the left-leaning Democrat partiers. The level of political debate and awareness has been on a downward run that is accelerating every year.

What a balanced article!

It had the whole variety of viewpoints - from people who voted for Obama before and probably will again, to people who voted for Obama before and definitely will again.

Who says the media is not balanced?
