Nearly two years ago, the political world could only marvel at the breadth of voter support for Barack Obama.
The new president had won over voters once thought to have abandoned his party for good. He'd found new reservoirs of support among groups many thought were tapped out.
He energized a coalition — made up of blacks, women, Latinos, young voters and large numbers of suburbanites — that some believed would keep Democrats in power for years to come.
A scant 20 months later, the Obama coalition is frayed and frazzled.
A majority of those who voted for Obama still approve of the job he is doing. But that number is eroding.
Surprisingly, support for the president among Latinos, young people and women has dropped as much as it has among groups that were considered less likely to stick with the president, such as white males, according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Support among suburbanites has dropped dramatically too, surveys show, while African American voters remain Obama's most loyal constituency and his fiercest defenders.

... dozens of interviews with Obama voters across five swing areas show that the warning signals are blinking for the president's party.
Obama voters evince little interest in the midterm election. When they express goodwill toward the president, it rarely extends to his allies in Congress. Many do not consider themselves Democrats.
Pew's survey experts routinely ask respondents to characterize the president in a single word. In their most recent poll, conducted this summer, more respondents than ever answered with the word "disappointing."

If she tries to unseat Obama she will have a huge problem with the blacks. They don’t care Obama sucks as a leader, president or lies every time he opens his mouth, All they care about is he’s black. They aren’t about to let any “whitey” take him down
They won’t vote for Hillary. They will punish the Democrat party for forsaking Obama and stay home.
**************
Bank on it, unless Obama is suddenly and completely removed as a factor in some way which CANNOT be attributed to the Clintons. A plane goes down, a walk in the park, or some vast right wing conspirator gets to him.
Anyway, the decision is not hers. It is Soros’, who owns them both.
It was the WOMEN who across all demographic groups voted in the majority for the fool.
Decisions of great importance, those that can alter the course of a nation cannot be made based on emotion. The Founding Fathers in their infinite genius and wisdom saw this and denied women the vote.
They were correct and we should have the 19th Amendment repealed.
LH....
I have been smelling the Clinton Machine cranking up for a couple of months, read my older post.
But I do no think America will buy her, she is getting long in the tooth and it shows and she is shrill, just listen to the clip Laura Ingraham used to play all the time.
My gut tells me Evan Bayh will ride in out of the sunset and challenge them both.
The Dems will eat it up, even the ardent may still have Clinton fatigue, and by that time with a Conservative House and Senate, they are going to look for a new face for the DNC, because the prospect of having their @$$e$ handed to them in 12' after 10' is too much to bear....
Don’t be so wishful of a Clinton challenge!
After two years of control, Republicans will be bloodied by the media and our Whiner-In-Chief....just look at how he complains when Republicans have zero power!
Put Hillary against Palin in 2012 and Clinton wins huge.
Americans will remember the good “Clinton” economy.
Women are toxic to electoral politics. Especially now that many single women with or without children, are clamped onto Government (on all levels) welfare programs. Gov’t is their ersatz substitute husband and whom they want money from. Meaning they want the money of productive taxpayers
Married women vote conservative compared to the unmarried
She’s looked terrible of late. Can’t see her getting elected...she’s such an ugly woman and one of the most uninspiring pols...I’d rather hear nails scratching on a chalkboard, than to listen to HC. Were it not for her pig of husband, we’d all be saying Hillary who?
Every woman I know who voted, voted for obama. Now I get anti-obama cartoons from them in their emails to me!
Oh, look...he’s a lefty...
It is not melting. It is in place. It is law.
The money is gone and redistributed. The union leaders have received payoffs to take care of the next ten years. The health care industry has been wrecked. The teachers have been bribed and paid. The wreckage will keep lawyers fed high on the hog for a decade as it all gets sorted out.
The messiah must be crucified
“disappointing”....for a lot of his supporters is just code for “I’m not getting enough “freebies” from the government.”
Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky: "True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within. Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.... Many leftists view Hillary as a sell-out because she claims to hold moderate views on some issues. However, Hillary is simply following Alinsky’s counsel to do and say whatever it takes to gain power.
"
No, lol, my son and father are lefties...but only in sports. ;)
Socialist.
One word to describe our current president -
“Unqualified”
or how about “unprepared”?
