The MSM will continue to prop him up, but eventually “the chickens will come home to roost”, as his spiritual leader once said.

I think we are about to find out how much of the overall population that “core” constituency represents for Obama. His 96% will follow him to the gates of hell.

note: his straight up approval is down to 51%. That is what, 2 or 3% below what he got on election day?

It’d be interesting to hear from those who both voted for him, but are no disapproving. Interesting and sad, of course (wtf did they expect??!).

And of course The One will take his low approval numbers as a sign that people are desperate for health care reform, a second stimulus, and cap and trade. His ego is too massive to admit that it’s exactly those policies that are causing people to really distrust him.

The number 8 is symbolic of new beginnings. Therefore, -8 must be the symbol for new endings.

Or the new beginning of the new end.

Rush has stated that what it will take to burst 0bama’s cult following is for him to lose his cool and do some Clintonesque finger pointing speech.

Poll numbers might do it. The guy’s such a narcissist that he lives and dies by what others think of him.

You mean the white, sons and daughters of the wealthy, who just graduated college after 5 1/2 years, and voted for Obama because John Mayer said war sucks and Bush is evil? Now they still have a war and they can’t find a damn job. They are having to apply at Burger King and they are pissed about it.

I’ve spoken with a few ex-Obama supporters who now have buyers’ remorse. They were all so blinded with Bush Derangement Syndrome that they honestly believed anyone would be better. At least two of them now wish Bush were back in office, and another is honest enough to say he still doesn’t like Bush, but is starting to really hate Obama.

Best of all, I’m seeing more dissent among die-hard, generational ‘Rats. I’m starting to think folks are waking up.

Gallup showed his approval at 98% among blacks. Think what these numbers would look like if racism were not a factor and blacks were judging him based on performance and not the color of his skin - his approval numbers would be 4 to 5 points WORSE!

0bama gave a speech a couple of months ago. I forget the exact occasion, but he was talking about some of our founding documents. The upshot of the speech was that all of these founding documents were what made "HIM" possible. There was an incredible creepiness in the way he phrased it, as if he was saying, "for all of US history, you've been striving for a goal, and that goal was me." I think that was his most narcissistic speech.

Runners up:

"We are the ones we've been waiting for."

The one in Europe where he said that after electing him, future generations would look back and pinpoint that moment as when the oceans began to heal and the seas quit rising.

Swatting a fly in an interview and expecting a reporter to complement him on it.

Democrats have run Messiah based campaigns the last couple of times. Edwards and Kerry claimed that if they were elected Christopher Reeve would walk again. The difference is that 0bama seems to really believe it.

What's more is that it might even be worse than -8:

Currently, the baseline targets for the adult population are 39.0% Democrats, 32.5% Republicans, and 28.5% unaffiliated. Likely voter samples typically show a slightly smaller advantage for the Democrats.

Interesting internals, too, e.g.,

“Thirty-nine percent (39%) now give the President good or excellent marks for handling the economy while 43% say he is doing a poor job. Those are by far his lowest ratings yet on the economy”

THAT will be his undoing... watch what happens when the Rats kill the economy even more with Cap -n- Tax, zer0Care (-8Care?), tax hikes and Porkulus II.

Keep on keepin’ on, Rats!!!! You’re the best friends the GOP has!!!

The sad and scary thing is that these changes are likely all due to the unemployment numbers. If the economy turns around, Obama’s numbers will probably go back up. Voters need to look at the whole package. They have elected an America-hating, rage-filled Marxist. Maybe the economy will make them take a second, more clear-eyed look at all aspects of Obama, I don’t know. What I do know is that we must keep doing what we can to oppose him.

[There is a gender gap when it comes to perceptions of Obama’s performance. By a 46% to 27% margin, men Strongly Disapprove. Women are more evenly divided—33% Strongly Approve and 30% Strongly Disapprove. ]

So, not every portion of the populace has lost their minds. If you subtract black males from those totals assuming nearly 100% are Obama supporters, that means white and asian males are more than 50% in the strongly disapprove.

Are women from another planet completely?

The entire social economic black experience is geared on this type of group think. It has been said that when everyone agrees, that means someone isn’t thinking.

This type of cultural uniformity thru brainwashing and dis-information is the same method used to oppress the North Korean people and other tyrannical regimes across the world.
