34. First the Corporate media announced that the Gay Community had turned on Obama
Edited on Tue Nov-15-11 03:37 PM by FrenchieCat
Gay groups grumble over Obama
http://cachef.ft.com/cms/s/0/3ba1fca6-9918-11e0-acd2-00...

but that didn't work

LGBT Community Raising Big for Obama
http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2011/10/lgbt-raising-bi...


Then they announced that Black Folks weren't "Enthusiastic" to vote for Obama in 2012.....

The Black War Over Obama
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/08/14/cornel...

and when that didn't work...
Poll: Black Americans more optimistic, enthused about 2012
http://www.thegrio.com/politics/poll-black-americans-mo...



Then they tried to put out some stories about Obama and women, and his administration....

The WH 'a genuinely hostile workplace for women'
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/63737.html#ix...

Losing Women: Obama Support Sinks to New Lows
http://townhall.com/columnists/carrielukas/2011/09/06/l... /

and then that didn't work....

Women Voters Buoy Obama’s 2012 Hopes
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/11/women-vote... /



Then they tried to put out some stories about Obama and Hispanics, and how they were dismayed with him,

Obama’s Hispanic Vote Slipping Away
http://frontpagemag.com/2011/06/17/obama%E2%80%99s-hisp... /

and that didn't work....

New Poll Puts Obama Far Ahead of GOP With Latino Voters
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/11/new-poll-p... /


And that reminds me about the Jewish vote.....
same story....

More Bad News for Obama and the Left on the Jewish Vote
http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2011/09/26/obama-jewi... /

But that's not going to work, it appears.....

GOP ruins chance to grab Jewish vote
http://whatreallyhappened.com/content/gop-ruins-chance-...

Jewish Vote Not A 'Problem' For Obama, Polls Show
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...


Then they went for the environmentalists,
Ozone climbdown: Is Obama giving up on environment?
http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/201...

and well, that's not gonna happen either....


Obama's Keystone Pipeline Delay Could Shore Up Green Support
http://www.wnyc.org/npr_articles/2011/nov/10/obamas-key... /


so then, desperation struck, and the question was asked.... :scared:

Could Obama lose Arab-American voters over Israel?
http://www.salon.com/2011/06/07/obama_arab_american_vot... /
and that didn't quite work....



SO OF COURSE, YOUNG PEOPLE WOULD BE NEXT...... :shrug:

At the end of the day, combining these constant hit jobs from the media
using like tools those who would spread the bullshit everywhere....
along with curbing voting in state after state after state....
Well some folks may just get what they dreamed off.....Republican feet
deep up in their asses for a long ass time! Wouldn't that be simply
wonderful for all Americans, and for the world? So I hope folks keep working hard on this....
cause I'm one for enjoying those who most deserve it getting their just deserts. Too bad
it will be at everyone's expense.....but after all, a few bad apple can make life really difficult
for us all.
