Truly, I don't think Americans think that, the right thinks that. I live in a very liberal area in a very red state, support here for Obama is bigger than ever - however so is the hate from the right media, which fires up the people.
I know many people that voted for him, not all registered democrats. None of them though, are upset at him for anything he has done - other than maybe not pulling out of the wars. They all support the healthcare bill, and the majority make over $200k a year. And every single one of them have said they will vote for him again.
That base, thinks they have found the perfect guy... 
No I haven't seen the speech.. I will check it out. I have thought several of his other speeches sounded much like Bushes. |
I live in Ron Paul country, so sometimes I don't have a handle on what other side is thinking. Because everyone person I know that makes over 200k that voted for Obama said the wont be voting for the D's in 2010 or Obama in 2012.
Still a bit far away to be making predictions on 2012 but I think Obama may be in trouble. A lot safe D states are losing electoral votes and a lot of safe R states are gaining. Then, Im guessing, the southern swing states will go to the R's.
