I see tons of former Obama supporters jumping ship.

Ironic, however, is that our weak & radical president was clearly evident as such in the campaign.

These folks have no cause to be surprised.

His lack of experience, community organizing background, connections to radicals, and "spread the wealth around" commentary should have been enough for anyone.

I bet most disillusioned Obama voters are still glad it wasn't McCain..

Funny how it seems that the more liberal voters have an easier time thinking for themselves, whereas most conservatives/current Tea Partiers were blindly loyal to Bush all the way until after his 8 tragic years were over - and only now they seem to be getting a clue.

That is getting past so old

-What was Bushs approval rating when he left office?

For people that were suppose to be so loyal to the man his approval rating was so low

Tell me what is so different now that Obama is in office? I mean these liberals that are suppose to be able to think for themselves cant even notice the things they complained about Bush that made him the worst president ever. They now blindly support Obama doing

You're wrong about that. Even the OP admits it. Obama voters are disillusioned, and we're on year 2, not 7 or 8!

There are PLENTY of liberal voices criticizing Obama on real issues, and have been since he started. But you don't watch "liberal media" so you wouldn't know.. you must just guess based on what your crowd does when an (R) is in office.

You don't see people calling Obama criticizers "anti-American" just because they aren't blindly supporting their president 100%. Yet this was the favorite response by the now-tea partiers to anyone voicing criticism against Bush during his reign.

I hardly think lack of support for Obama is a "score" for Republicans, who's inability to field a proper candidate is one of the leading reasons Obama was able to attract so many votes. The bottom line is no matter how bad you think Obama is, the Republicans were worse. Bashing Obama isn't going to change that fact.

First the far right claims that Obama supporters are sheeple and zombies. Now they claim they are deserting him. More contradications from the right.

I beg to differ. With McCain, we at least wouldn't have:

1) the Health Care Scam
2) Wimpy foreign policy
3) Appointments of radical judges to federal courts (and soon the supreme court)
4) $1.5 trillion budget deficit
5) A picture of Obama and Hugo Chavez shaking hands
