People dislike him, and those who dislike him are complaining more now than ever. You're hearing from them, not the actual Obama-supporters.
In fact, based on recent polls, there is more support for him and less support for oppositions than in 2008!
BKF, what do you mean, "got the black vote?" Got a minority to vote for him in general? If so, he also got the "Mexican vote." Just because some people are idiotic doesn't mean all blacks are. It actually doesn't mean anything about their skin color. I asked my mom, who voted for McCain, if she voted for him for certain things and she just flat-out said that she doesn't know what McCain's viewpoints are.
Now, you tell me which is worse. To me, they are the same and you can't just suggest that he got a certain minority's vote wrongly because there were many, many blacks who knew a lot about why they were voting.
I expect the ratio of black who knew why they were voting versus didn't know why they were voting to be the same as the ratio of whites who knew why they were voting versus didn't know why they were voting."So, you see, BKF, even if you found that video, it proves nothing as it's not represeting a whole skin tone of society.
Personally, I'm glad he didn't directly send Americans into Libya, and instead used either the UN or NATO like Bush should have. Personally, I'm glad that the health care reform bill got passed. And personally, I'm glad Obama's budget plan saves us 4 trillion dollars over the next 4 years instead of saving 1 trillion now like most Republicans wanted. Too bad if we get another president in 2012 that they will take credit for Obama's financial fixes. That's really the problem with saving more money down the road instead having a crappy pay-off now.
All of these things really angered a lot of people, especially Republicans, to turn more emotional and violent and to speak up, generally, about these issues. I don't understand why 1) they don't agree with Obama entering Libya yet supported entering the Middle East, 2) don't understand that the health care reform breaks trusts and monopolies, giving everyone a better chance at health care and if their rates go up, it's because the health care company's fault because this reform doesn't make that happen but they're happy to blame Obama for it to get away with raising people's rates, and 3) Republicans try to say, "SEE! HE'S NOT TRYING TO SAVE THE US MONEY!" when in fact he is saving us more money down the road.
People will complain and complain until they sound like they're right, even if their complaints are based off of lies and those gullible enough to believe them will probably help spread those lies and complaints. That's what you're hearing.
I'm not a Democrat, even though I share many views, and I'm not a Republican, even though I share many views. In fact, I support Ron Paul, who's a Republican, more than any other president I've seen in a long while. I look at issues, unlike the bulk of America, and I know what I'm talking about, unlike the bulk of America, and that's how I come to my decisions. Labeling yourself as one party or another makes most people feel like they have to go with the flow of the decisions those parties make and their relatives and family sometimes choose to be in that party just to go with the flow of it... Sadly, this leads to people not knowing what the heck they're talking about. I don't do this and many of the people who voted for Obama don't do this. So, you don't really hear from this No Label group.
