Why are people saying Obama has fallen?

[LBJ Revivalist]

In the other thread, "What do you think of Barack Obama?", most people, both liberal and conservative, were saying he's a nice guy but an awful president, that his presidency has been a failure, etc. That he's "fallen". Why do they say this? I honestly DO NOT see any Republican beating him next year...I don't get it.

Dude, last week you were asking why Obama had the audacity of hope to run for a second term, since his first had been such a failure.

If you're going to continue the concern troll schtick, at least be consistent with it.

Listen, I'm not a f**king ''concern troll.'' In the attempt to make this board completely right wing, any left wing criticism of Obama or left wing views are attempting to be discredited. I am a liberal. I am not a Republican, nor am I a concern troll as you put it. I'm allowed to have my views still.

Obama will win, shocking the Tea Party into realizing that this really isn't ''The America I Grew Up In'' anymore.

He's just another corporatist Democrat like Clinton. He's still the better choice vs the Republicans but many of us on the left are dissatisfied with the right-wing tilt of recent Democrats. Bill Clinton and Obama are to the right of Nixon and Eisenhower on economic issues.

Sure he's probably better on social issues, but that's not going to help the people who are hurting from the U.S.'s pathetic social services and the 30-year long class warfare.

That doesn't explain your complete inconsistency of views from week to week.

Because his poll numbers have swooned again, the economy is headed back to recession, and the Dems are getting spanked in open seat contests they would have contested well or won three months ago.

Next question?

Hey, troll. Weren't you the one who was screaming loudly about Obama being a failure with an obligatory "OBAMA KILLED LIBERALISM AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY" crap?

Yes, however, in that time I've done some reading and it seemed things looked the same way for Clinton around this point in his presidency in terms of poll ratings. And while he's a mediocre Democrat, he's better than any Tea Party nutjob. Having considered it, its the lesser of two evils.

Title of the next ModerateDemocrat thread tomorrow:

a). Has Obama abandoned Liberalism?

b). Is Romney the next Progressive hope?

c). Is anybody else writing in Richard Nixon?

d). Why is Obama not defending the New Deal/Great Society?

e). Does anybody else agree that Obama is finished?

Give us your bets!

I'll put down twenty dead AIDS infected gorillas on option e)!

Why are people saying Obama has fallen?

Because he fell?

Well, if that's the case, don't sweat it.   It was widely reported that Bush, another person who is a genuinely nice guy but by most accounts an awful president, fell off a segueway scooter in 2002, then in 2003 he fell off his chair, while he ostensibly was choking on a peanut, and hit his head.  Remember all that?  And he was still re-elected in 2004.

So don't worry, we like our presidents awful.  Or haven't you noticed?
