Can I ask some freepers to please tell me what the average American thinks of Obama? I mean the guy in the cubicle next to you, or your neighbor whom you casually say hello to while he's watering the lawn etc.....
I live in Israel now, so I don't really know what the good-ol Americans think. I guess it's fair to say that the black community is 95-99% Obama--but does anyone have any Hispanic or Oriental co-workers, neighbors, etc.. that have mentioned anything about their choice?
Other than the blacks, hollywood loonies, muslims, and some bleeding hearts--Are people really fawning over him as much as the media makes us believe?
I know my parents have never voted, yet I get bombarded constantly with anti-Obama emails from them. I asked them and they said they are getting older and care about the country--they dont like what they see in Obama or his wife. (they were never liberals--they just didn't care) they both registered and will be voting for McCain (hard to believe that he's the best we got!)
I also asked an old conspiracy theory anti-Bush, nut-job friend of mine and he said he will vote for Ron Paul. He said Obama sucks and he doesn't trust McCain.
Even my Boca Raton, yenta, BDS (Bush derangement syndrome) aunts and uncles are up-in-arms about Obama. If I can convince them that McCain is really a RINO then perhaps they'll vote for him, but I'm not holding my breath.
So any "real-life" stories or comments from "real" people would be greatly appreciated.
G-d bless America
Many that I have talked to are more imbued with the ‘I hate Republicans’ mindset. There is no actual rational to put Obama in charge of this country.
rational = rationale
Thats just one person I can talk to from that side of the political world. I avoid them
like the plague they are.
Obama brings the reactions to the surface:
1. More then likely Illegal Alien LOVES Obamao, as he believes Obamao will grant him TOTAL amnesty, literally.
2. Two college age summer co workers love Obamao, all they know is he’s not Bush, and he’s Black...no I’m not kidding.
3. Business owner despises Obamao
4. White co workers cannot stand Obamao, they think he is a Commie and Rev Wright really shocked them.
5. Legal Alien Co worker (from Guatamela) likes McCain.
Quite the gammut.
Where I work there are about 500 people, of which 75% are black (my estimate). I’ve spoken with many about the election, and most of them are for Obama simply based on race. None can name anything he’s accomplished, nor can they say what his plans are other than “change”, though they don’t know what that involves.
Young, minimum wage types in Seattle practically worship him.
And here you thought the real existential threat to Israel was Iran and it’s surrogates, hezbollah and hamas....
Simple—
Only one thing I can see— A Marxist Liberal.
Our 18 YO babysitter told my wife she is voting for Obama. When asked why, she had no reasons to list. [Deer in headlights]
I talked to a guy on the street for 30 seconds as we walked in the same direction last week. He was a lower than middle class hispanic. He complained about the price of gas and said he is voting for Obama because of it.
Those are the two Obamers I know of.
I work in a openly Christian environment though, and I don’t know anyone there who is Obasmic.
Exactly, it’s bizarre.
They love Obamao, but don’t believe Social Security will be around when they retire, when I point out that there tax money could be invested giving them a better retirement, I get a “right on”.
But then pointing out that Obamao doesn’t want that to happen, I get a shoulder shrug in return.

I work at a mental health center, a bastion of democrats. One co-worker is a woman in her 60’s who is married to a union railroad worker. She’s voting for BO because “we always vote democrat.”
seems that real domocrats are unhappy with obama
and conservatives are unhappy with mccain
sad place for the electorate to be

I would vote for a Republican or a Democrat if I thought they were a good person.
Here is what I see in Obama
1. Obama is a man who has chosen criminals and evil men for his friends.
2. Obama claims he is Christian. Yet Obama claims that the Hindu “monkey god” is his favorite God. I say Obama is true to nothing.
3.Obama will tell any tale, switch to any side, to become President.
4. I do not think that Obama will do well for this nation.
5. Obama is really a proven black racist.
Pray that God will help us all in America.
Well, that’s certainly cleaner than my dildo illustration.
"It gets worse:Products of our modern public education system.
Empty heads for an empty suit.
I hear it on a daily basis at work. Except for the owner and myself, everyone is firmly in the Obama camp. It’s more than obvious that we’re dismissed as rich guys (we’re not) who just don’t understand the need for change because we’ve already got ours.
Living on the west coast, the people I’ve spoken to about osama hussein are scared of him like me. He doesn’t have any experience even though he cut his political teeth on the Chicago old world politics, his bigoted, racism against non-blacks, his connections to communism is frightening, his liberal domestic agenda of tax and spend makes me think of Mugabe and his antics turning a once thriving country into a poor, depressed 3rd world nation is petrifying. My friends and relatives on the east coast can’t stand him, some because of his race and some because of what was listed above.
Here’s the problem: what’s left? A lot of people don’t like McPain.
Neither McPain nor osama obama are trustworthy.
The people that I am familiar with, who are not voting for Obama, are Very quiet when voicing their opinions.
This group includes both black/white/bi-racial.... moderates and conservatives…
I have heard NO person state any objection to Obama for the color of his skin….it is his character and his lack of experience that seems to be the main basis of concern. They feel that Obama is simply not to be trusted to defend this country or support our allies.
Mind you, I’m in LA, but almost everybody I’ve talked to about him thinks he’s the second coming.
FWIW, Lincoln’s national government experience was limited to a single term in the House 20 years earlier when he was elected President.
By that standard Obama has more experience than Abe.
This is nothing but pure and simple racial profiling - keep up the truly honest and good work.
Very nice graphics.
I work in a city that is about 95% white (most of that liberal-yuppie) and the rest black/hispanic. In my drive to and from work, I’ve seen Obama stickers on many soccer moms’ SUVs. I would love to talk to some of these bimbos and ask them what on earth they’re thinking. Oh, yeah. They’re not. That’s it.
Or, I wonder if they’re just sporting the stickers to show their political correctness to impress the other leftist soccermoms, and will pull the lever for McCain on election day.
Naaah.
These people are nothing but a group at the end of a long line of anatomical spinkters.
Good point - and both of ‘em come from Illinois.
It's my sense that about half of the white folks where I live either focus on distrust of Obama, or distrust of McCain. It's not about who you like, it's about who you fear.
spinkters = sphinkters
My to younger sister’s were Hillary supporters and very vocal about how she was going to win in November. On and on about it. I saw them both yesterday and there was not a single word about the November election.
One of my other co-workers is a legal immigrant from Vietnam, and he says his entire family hates Obama and knows a marxist when they see one, and will never, under any circumstances, vote for Obama or any Democrat for President until the party is wrested away from leftists.
The white people I know who are voting for Obama are just clueless idiots. They have Bush Derangement Syndrome, believe that the MSM is "objective," and their motto is "anything is better than Bush." They have no concept of what a marxist is, and believe that any talk of Obama having a marxist mindset is "tin foil hat" time. According to them, communism is dead and no one in America truly believes in it any more. They've been indoctrinated their entire lives, and now can't even understand what they've been indoctrinated into. Otherwise, most of them are intelligent people. They are just totally blank slates when it comes to politics, and Obama, for whatever reason, appeals to them. There is also a tendency for them to admit that they think Obama will help "heal" the racial divisions in the nation (lol).
I've lost a lot of respect for a lot of people I know, including some in my own family. You cannot, under any circumstances, reason with an Obamabot. It is impossible. May as well be talking to a mindless brick wall. Most of his supporters can't parallel history, they can't be bothered to learn about policy, and they aren't even capable of using logic and reason to formulate their support of him. They are truly terrifying, mindless zombies when it comes to this election. The marxist apparatus in this nation has done a fine job of brainwashing a large segment of the populace.
I live in a blue town in a blue state. I know virtually no one who will be voting for McCain and probably 80% of them will vote for Obama. The people range from unemployed through blue collar types to professionals and small business people and of all ages. The intensity of the loathing these people feel for the Republican party is like nothing I have ever seen and it all seems to come down to three things, the economy, the cost of gasoline, home heating oil and food and the war.
I do have a brother-in-law, retired military, who will be voting for McCain, but the other military brothers-in-law and nephews are all voting Obama.
It will doubtless come as no surprise that my relatives in Europe, as very conservative as they are, are all Obama supporters, though that may have as much to do with McCain’s longstanding embrace of KLA Mohammedan terrorists and their money as anything else.
Yep, we got nothin'.
Wouldn't it be nice if there were a reset button for this whole presidency replacement thing?
Or at least a yes/no option on the ballot, rather then just yes or blank?
Imagine if both candidates were overwhelmingly rejected (an actual 'no' vote) by voters!
Then we could have a redo of the whole thing...
to=two
My young minimum wage nephews in Seattle can't stand him. But their Daddy and their beloved and oh so wonderful Uncle have something to do wit dat.....:)
I was in Chapel Hill this afternoon, Obama stickers everywhere.
I guess it’s fair to say that the black community is 95-99% Obama
This is nothing but pure and simple racial profiling - keep up the truly honest and good work.
it might be profiling—but am I wrong—blacks vote about 85-90% democrat anyways—add in Obama and I’d place all my money that it’s higher than 90%.
here in Israel, racial profiling keeps terrorists off our airplanes, and ensures a real nice search BEFORE they get into the mall. I love watching the police stop an arab and check his ID whenever they’re in the Jewish neighborhoods!!
We can honestly report that of the 100+ people we are associated with in the working environment, that there isn’t a single one that has positive thoughts about an Obama Presidency.
It isn’t possible to repeat entirely here what some of those associates say in private conversation about Obama.
Here are some excerpted words however; “scary”, “frightening”, “insane”, and more, but you get the idea.
When it comes to McCain though we often hear the following: >>>Crickets<<<

My parents were for Edwards, and then Clinton. I don’t think they ever liked or trusted Obama but I’m sure they will pull the lever for him on Nov 4. (Kind of how I got to supporting McCain I guess). It has always been this way, my parents the FDR libs (and ALL our relatives), me arguing with them, from my early childhood. I recall trying to convince them to vote for Ford over Carter when I was 9. My parents have no idea how I became a Republican.
