Ok there I said it. But before you go lambasting me, posting Im bookmarking so I can laugh at you in November Well, I was 100% correct when you were all uttering in disbelief and bookmarking my post in 2010 and look where that got ya.
The only real bump Obama has seen is when he started iterating some of the language of the 99% / Occupy movement. Other then that he has been flat or slightly behind Republican candidates even with them being Looney Tunes and all.

But these are people living day to day having to deal with the harsh realities of our corporate controlled recession. They are honestly acting out of Gut Reactions to what is the reality of their day to day existence.
They understand the SEC has mutated into some sort of New York Mafia like Protection Racket accepting No Fault fines from Banksters and then promptly destroying all the evidence as to hinder if not deter any meaningful State Prosecutions.
They understand ALL elected officials in Washington (Democrat and Republican alike) have thoroughly been corrupted by the Corporate Elite. Meaningful change just isnt going to happen at the hands current system and they know that. They have been waiting and hoping for relief for years and all they have gotten is lip service while their futures and the futures of their children deteriorate even more. What, the Dems are going to promise to Fix Social Security ya weve seen how they have been putting the fix in on that one.
Plain and Simple Ya got Nothin
You have nothing to offer the Working Class citizen except more of the same and that just isnt going to get it any more.
You can forget about the youth vote - They have been completely disenfranchised by the current Corporate Regime and politics as usual in Washington.
Now before all the politicos get on my case reiterating Hold the Line, Hold the Line first try some thing really refreshing, admit to your Boss (the powers that be) Its an uphill battle and our chances are ify at best Your best bet is to actually do your job and represent the best interest of the people who elected you and not the corporations who donate to you Any way its about time the corporations took one on the chin. Gawd knows all the Working class Americans have been taking it in the shorts for years.
