The reason for Obama's popularity

[Questor]

It's the weird name. Talking heads simply don't feel right unless they've used his name at least ten times a day. Remember Boutros Boutros-Ghali? That guy got more references to his name by talking heads than anyone else in human history, even though his position warranted virtually no public attention.

The reason for Obamanations popularity is simple; the majority is easily fooled and there's nothing new about that.  Remember Hitler, Mussolini, Stallin, etc., etc.; same ole, same ole.

Interesting thought Questor.... It's kinda like the old NASCAR driver, Dick Trickle, even if he wasn't leading the race, they always seemed to mention what place he was in.  I t5hink they just liked saying it and getting away with it on TV

They mentioned Bush almost as often but not in endearing terms

  If it's such an interesting name why don't they the HUSSEIN in the middle ?

YUP!........Same old, L. Johnson, Nixon, Carter, George B the 1st, Clinton, George B the 2nd, The new Cmdr. in Thief, and most likely the next, and so on!

How can you trust a man that doesn,t even know what his pastor is saying. He followed him for how long and didn't even know where he was going. HOW IN THE HE-- CAN HE LEAD THIS NATION BUT INTO THE LOST PLACE .

Hunter, I think you missed the point.  The Presidents you mentioned didn't have intentions of changing everything as radically as this guy (the Obamanation).  I do not believe that he has any devotion to this country at all.  He wants to remake it in every way; economically, socially--the whole deal.  There's change and there's change and his kind of change is not for the better--unless you're into communism.

Any liberal capable of lying as much as obama can and has, likely will continue to be popular. However, when the American people come to their senses and the lies start to be appear apparent, the opinions will change when it comes to popularity. That does not mean they won't vote for him in the next election. Most Americans accept that politicians lie for their cause. What most Americans will not accept and what is mostly likely to cause them to switch votes is a president who presides over a failed economy. The majority of American people will accept facisiam as long as it delivers a stable and reasonably healthy economy. The gauge that will be used for this will be primarily two high level aspect:

1. Unemployment rate: If the unemployment rate at the next election is less then it was on the day the prez took office= Success
2. Interest rates: They need to be at or reasonably close to when the prez took office= Success

If obama delivers the above two items, he is significantly more likely to get elected then not no matter what. The one wild card issue for him is a terrorist attack. If we have a large terror attack after his first full year in office and depending on how he and his admin react, this could trump the economy at the next election.

The main stream media is going to continue to cover for him no matter what happens with the economy of a terror attack. They will continue to act as an extension of the obama propaganda machine under all circumstances. Even if the economy is a failure, they will simply puppet the administrations excuses. So this is always a risk. If the main stream media can lie and hide the problems, which they will, all they need to do is get a few percentage points of the undecided voters to side with obama and he will win again.

I have given up on the mass of the American people. They don’t care about our a president or any politicians regard for the constitution or our founding principles. They primarily look out for the success of their bank account.

Have you ever heard of the snow ball effect?

Sort of like the frog in boiling water! He will jump out of hot water, but heat it slowly and he won't try to jump until it's too late.

Each new president is bolder than the last, but the ones before have laid out the groundwork  for them.
If Hillbillary or McCant had won, I think the story would be the same.

G W gave us the Department of Homeland Security. That department stinks like Hitler's Third Reich.

Obama may be the one to drive the final nail, but he damn sure didn't start the coffin . JMHOP.

Oh yea! I'm not Communist, or Fascist. That's why I voted for the Constitution party candidate....Chuck Baldwin.

  NW hunter;
  How well did Chuck Baldwin do ? Did a vote for him help keep the Obamanation out of the oval office ?

The national political pendulum swings to the the far right or the far left every 4 or 8 years.  Despite their claims that they stand for small government, the last Republican bunch grew the US government by leaps and bounds while spending like drunken sailors on shore leave in Hong Kong.   Now the far left Democrats will take that to a whole new level.

Folks need to wake up and realize that the national Republican party and the national Democrat party are as alike as two stinking crap sandwiches.  Neither of those party's give a hoot whether their constituents live or die so long as the money keeps coming in from communist China and the fat cats.

alsaqr, THIS IS THE "CRUX" OF THE MATTER! Home run my friend! Over the bleachers!
OBAMA OFFERED CHANGE! Now an older more seasoned CONSERVATIVE should know better, but many whom CLAIM TO BE CONSERVATIVE, do not seem to. They have a mind set of LESSOR OF TWO EVILS that was most likely passed on to them by THEIR PARENTS. They continually settle for less and less, and while they strongly disagree with the liberal, they equally, and just as strongly disagree with the FREE THINKING VOTER. i.e. It is THEIR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY, "THEY ARE RIGHT, YOU ARE WRONG".

It is the old adage, Can't see the forest for all those damn trees.

They CLAIM CONSERVATIVE, but vote middle of the road LIBERAL, and condemn the TRUE CONSERVATIVE, for voting for TRUE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES, by saying: HE CAN'T WIN! Well of course he can't win, all the CLAIMED CONSERVATIVES are voting for the CLOSET LIBERAL CANDIDATES!

These CLAIMED CONSERVATIVES will never change, they instead will CONTINUE TO VOTE THE LESSOR OF TWO EVILS, and when their CLOSET LIBERAL CANDIDATE (example McCain) fails, they will not only blame the liberal, but WILL ALSO BLAME THE FREE THINKING, "TRUE CONSERVATIVE" whom voted for the TRUE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE, all the while "wringing their hands" and blaming everyone but themselves, whom are the actual one's whom have abandoned the Constitution and Bill of Rights, for that SHINY ONE, whom "speaks well in public", and makes promises he has never kept, never intended to keep, and couldn't full-fill even if he were to try.

[SHOOTALL]

Alot of folks don't even know what party the canidates are from , they just want to know who will give them the mose free stuff !

 Al & Dee;
  I agree that both major parties have been partying to long at our expense, but for anyone else to stand a chance we must "get it together" now. I think the "tea parties" are a start, with Beck's 9/12 group.
   It may seem a small thing, but I suggested hganging a teabag in front & rear windows of your vehicle. Mail back a teabag back to some politician or party who wants your vote or donation. That way, without further explanation, they will know just why you are not donating.
  Anytime at work when some stupid or PC announcement is made, hang a teabag on the thumbtacks holding the stupid note.
  Push the teabag, press it, have it appearing everywhere..just like old Kilroy. It will force them to keep them from ignoring us or our issues. Teabags should be appearing everywhere...
  At last town meeting, when someone made a stupid, Socialist suggestion...using taxpayer's money of course, I rose to speak..swinging a teabag from my left hand. Lots of chuckles..but the Socialist idea was shot down!
    The teabag spoke louder than I did, and I am known for my "platoon Sgt" voice...
