24. Whistle past the graveyard at your own expense, DUers
Because like it or not, this is the growing perception of Obama.

You can bury your head in the sand and make snide comments about the quality of the impression; you can decry what is presented here as "RW smears", but it doesn't matter one iota.

This is the perception most Americans have of Obama, and those Americans are not going to care about the "only 8 months" argument, nor will they give much of a hoot about the nuance of "he's working on it". Obama needs to stop worrying about pissing off the right-wing and push hard to keep the promises he made, or he is going to end up a one-term president.

SNL is a mirror being held up to us...we ignore it at our peril. Remember how effectively SNL torpedoed Palin? That torpedo could just as easily broadside the Democratic party.

Americans like Obama, but they do not see results or a strong push, and both of those perceptions are VERY BAD, and need to be corrected before it is too late.
