The Love Affair With Barack Obama Is Truly Over

[DigitalDrifter]

Six years after offering hope and change, polls show the American public has fallen out of love with their president — so where did it all go wrong?
Barack Obama romped to the presidency of the United States in 2008 on a tidal wave of ‘hope and change’. Back then, the financial crisis was raging and US troops were still engaged in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, but a fresh-faced Mr Obama brimmed with confidence.
He predicted that future generations would look back on his election and see the moment “when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal … when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth.”
Six years later, Mr Obama is weary and greyed and finds his job approval ratings stuck in the low-40s. This October is the 17th consecutive month in which polls show that a majority of Americans disapprove of his leadership.
With November’s mid-term elections less than a month away, even fellow Democrats won't be seen dead with the man who once transformed their party's fortunes. Apart from some closed-door fundraisers, Mr Obama is all but invisible on the campaign trail.
So where did it all go wrong?
It was the economy, stupid …
Since Mr Obama took office facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, unemployment has fallen from 10pc to 6pc and American businesses have created 10 million new jobs — that’s more than Japan, Europe and every other advanced economy combined.

I never even got a ring....

Most of the rings were through the noses of liberals

You can make a phone call with noses now? I am way far behind in current events...do they still lick tongues while communicating after ringing someone?

That's so sad.

We;re down to the hardcore, braindead types who won't admit Obama failed at everything he said he would do, and every task he was given as president.

A little trip down memory lane...



Just for grins and giggles...

Something for the handful of Orgasmic ObamaBots who haven't deserted the sinking ship yet...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........................ As far as I know, President Obama is not running for anything come 2016. In fact, on 20Jan17, he will become a two term ex-President.

So, wail on the President all you want. In the meatime, the Dems that are running will be whupping up on your candidates.

There are definitely those who would still believe Obama walks on water, and has never made a mistake in his life. They'll stick with him like the captain of a ship going down, and it wouldn't matter how bad things got.

Politifact rates him at 70% promises kept or compromises made.

Not bad given the environment of pure hatred.

OK, dumb fuck, I do believe you were one of the brain dead 'Conservatives' that were talking of posting suicide watchs on liberals after 6Nov12. Will the R's take the Senate next month? Probably. And then govern on the principle of 'NO'. And then face a Dem landslide Nov16.

Which means that the narcotized Americans will begin a new lover affair with another welfare/warfare state politician, ie, Hillary Rodham Clinton or ELizabeth Warren.

Your thread reminded me of something that came to me yesterday. While people such as Gwynneth Paltrow believe that by gushing over Obama with her garden party speech about she can't talk because he's just so handsome........ Please note the content of his own speech. He used Apple and Moses as examples of children who were privledged while the little child on a dirt road in Kenya was suffering and in need - there was some story about the children of Africa and he tied it directly to a comparison of Apple and Moses who are both Paltrow's children.

What came to me about this - is that while she is gushing over him - he despises everything she stands for and is looking forward to the day he can openly let her know all her shmoozing didn't avail her a thing!

Wait until she wakes up and realizes exactly what is going on! She's destined to be a working mom alright. In a gulag! Just wait. It's coming.
