Obama was one hell of a salesman. He sold the undecided voters on a middle of the road approach while setting up his radical left wing staff. He will always have his base of the liberal radicals and the welfare, "Obama Money" voters. Now that he has shown his true colors and lack of leadership ability he has made it a lot easier for voters in November and in 2012. The GOP could probably run a chimp in a diaper against him and win.

Obama didn't have to sell anything. Any Democratic candidate would have taken that election.

How do you think he won the primary though. Yes McCain was a crap GOP canidate. McCain's campaign was horrid in 2008, you should see his campaign against JD Hayworth if he would of fought like this against Obama it would of been close. When the stars align like that an unqualified radical like Obama gets elected. The spending and Obamacare are a means to an end for good old Barry, don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Definitely the people who still support him. Anybody could make an honest mistake or be bamboozled( Obamaboozled?) but at this point you'd have to be pretty dense to still think Obama is doing a good job or can even handle the job. Obama himself may not even fall into that category, he may be smart enough to know he sucks.

Oh, you mean like Arbusto Energy? A company he ran into the ground and yet somehow got a miraculous $1 million investment for a 10% equity stake in a company only worth 400 grand? And when he blew that wad, he was saved by the bell again when Arbusto was acquired by Spectum 7. And when Spectum 7 failed and was acquired by Harken Energy, he given a seat on the board because his daddy was Vice President. Then he engaged in a little insider trading to cash out before Harken posted huge losses. Of course the SEC investigation was dropped because daddy was President at the time. A strong record of destroying business everywhere he went. Sure..thats successful.

I think he ran the Texas Rangers into the ground, too. But he was good at somehow getting away with not attending any National Guard drills during wartime as an officer in the Air National Guard.

So good he was grounded and had his flight status revoked.

But hey, once again, Dad came to the rescue and made sure he wasn't charged with AWOL.
