Obama's popularity slipping??

Many of you guys know I live in one of the (if not THE) most liberal/Democrat states in the country. It's no surprise, then, that except for Ronald Reagan, presidential electoral votes have always been guaranteed for whoever the Democratic candidate may be.

Barack Obama has been president (as of this writing) for just five short months. Yesterday, I saw not one, but two bumper stickers that said "OBAMA SUCKS!"

If these cars were parked, it would be interesting to ask the drivers' opinions, but I'd probably get a punch in the mouth as a reply.

I question libs quite frequently, and I've seen signs of his popularity slipping (at least for his policies). I don't think he or Pelosi are making any friends with this cap and tax crap.

Why not question an American who voted for Obama?

Ok...here goes...


Subject: Fwd: Why I Voted Democrat [I really didn't but somebody did]

I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.

I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't obscene.

I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

I voted Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.

I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.

I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive

I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves.. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.

I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters..

I voted democrat because I'm sure that Left-Wing Educators have better influence on my Children's outlook on life than Parents.

I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my rear that it is unlikely that I'll ever have another personal point of view.

Of course Obama's popularity is slipping. It barely had anywhere to go but down.
I know so many people who projected so many of their own hopes and values on the guy that of course he's going to let people down. I don't see a story here.

Popularity

Well, he is dropping in the polls, Rasmussen in particular. I won't give the specifics as to how he's doing in my own personal poll, but it stinks.

So The Obamessiah has feet of clay, after all, just like any other politician. How about them apples ?!? On "Grouchy Old Cripple in Atlanta", Our Obamessiah is compared to a Post Turtle-You know he didn't get up there by himself, doesn't belong up there, doesn't know what to do while he IS up there, & you wonder what kind of a Dumbass put him up there to begin with...(grin)
