    This is really bad news for Barack Obama and the people who continue to support his policies of big government solutions to our ailing economy.

    "Voters who backed Obama in 2008 but voted for a Republican in the midterm elections, say the President's party is more liberal than they are and that their political views align more closely with Republicans."

    We are basically in the 4th quarter of the game.

    Obama is behind and the clock is beginning to run out on him.

    I don't know when the drop-dead date is precisely but it's getting close.

    If the Vacationer in Chief goes into spring and they run the Indy 500 with a sick economy and still slumping approval ratings then 6 months will not be enough for him to turn it around.

    Obama allowed the far reaching idealistic values of a small majority of American's formulate the market campaign that was his presidential bid. Many middle ground independent American's bought into the ideas without evaluating the long term effects.

    Now that people see what an absolute failure his policies are, and that the progressive lefts idealistic views trump reality, they want no part of that plan.

    The squeal from the fringe is loudest right before death.

    This will all be over soon.

    IMHO

    it's not that the voters have changed. It's that many have awoken from their slumber and wondered what happened while they sat idly by.

    If you look at the way most folks go about ther day and how they raise their familes, they believe in personal responsibility and hard work. Those beliefs are more conservative. Also, as more facts are available via the Internet it is now possible to get both sides of a story instead of the liberal slant from the MSM.

    So, Good Americans have finally awoken and don't like what has become of our country. It's not just condemnation of an incompetent POTUS. It's rejection of liberalism.

    I think that's the same bet.

    How much money would you bet that Obama doesn't get re-elected?

    You are correct, jcarlilesiu.

    Honestly, in the very beginning I was for hope and change.

    But since Obama has been president, I have lost hope.

    Now all I look forward to is change!

    And the liberals in this group try and tell us Obama has a great understanding of the applications of investment capital and how to get our economy moving in the right direction again! It seems that Obama's job performance and his competence as a chief executive is now seriously in question!

    That's why I say that the clock is running out on him.

    He's still the president and I think its possible for him to come back.

    But every month of bad news and new scandals is another nail in his political coffin.

    I'm feeling reservedly more confident all the time.

    But oh man is this moron screwing up the country.

    So he gets his revenge against America every month too.

    You have to understand that the lefts "understanding" is based up idealistic views of how it should be.

    They formulate the ending of the story FIRST and then work backwards to make that happen. The means to that ends do not matter.

    They care little for capitalism or that of a free market. They rather wish to focus on the human element as the foremost priority, failing to realize that it is capitalism that has provided the best standard of living for humans the world has ever seen.

    American's are seeing what we see on this forum everyday. THe progressive lefts store is written backwards, and the means of getting to that part of the story is very painful and not very well thought out.

    American's want no part of their "understanding" of these concepts.

    There is no miracle to save an economy in less than a year. Whatever Obama tries to do will be too little too late. This so-called jobs plan should have been the center piece in the first Recovery Summer, instead he floundered and things only got worse. His days are numbered, the year wasted on Obamacare can be attributed to much of his failure. People have realized the ultra-liberals have hijacked the party and will either stay home or vote against them. America is waking up, people have learned we must save ourselves from the insidious liberal agenda.

    Im all in!

    Obama blew it bigtime. You can blame his advisors, but it seems he's not even smart enough to fire most of them and start over.

    The economy is cyclical. He was sitting during an upswing. He should have done nothing and taken credit. Instead he had to pass healthcare and crash the economy. Sounds like he really believed it wouldn't affect the upswing and thus he could claim, "see, socialized medicine caused the economy to improve!" No question in my mind that's what he would have done.

    At this point, everyone hates his healthcare law. It looks like we'll be looking at a republican supermajority which will be a nightmare for dems. Repealing healthcare, drilling, nuclear plants energy independence, border security, you name it. We may be looking at republican domination for 40 years with Obama as the new Carter on what not to do.

    And it only gets worse as scandals like Fast and Furious and the Solyndra reach critical mass in 2012.

    So agree. Neither is even touched by CNN 's primetime, pretty boy Andy. He is too busy going after Bachman and the HIV statement for half of his stupid show. How can CNN prime time not report on the Solyndra scandal?? CNN, the first name in news? The only answer is outright bias.

    Watch them, they will focus on the Palin-Rice story and on Bachman. They are completley bought and sold.

    Talk about corrupt journalismn, CNN has become even more of a joke then they were, instead of getting better, going to report more straight news, they are actually getting worse. There is also cpmplete silence on Fast and Furious.

    Those are both BIG scandals. And all your here is crickets.

    I'm really considering the idea that Obama is being blackmailed. Regardless of how hard the uber-apologists attack all of the (sealed records, birth certificate, social security numbers), they are not happy with him.

    He is really following the same path Bush Jr was on with the social authoritarianism, did nothing he promised about the wars and even got us involved in another non-war.

    He will be elected again, as he is easily controlled.
