How Long Until Obama Voters Realize Obama Can't Fulfill Their Expectations?

[acptulsa]

Oh, I think they'll realize that their expectations are too high by spring. The only question is, can we help them see that it isn't because they expect too much, but because he's a tool and not even trying to meet their needs?

Obama's reductionist policies will kill them before they ever wake up.

 

[paulitics]

They would rather perish than admit their mistake in judgement.

Hoover was blamed with the bursting of the bubble in '29, even though he introduced Keynesian stimulus. FDR came in with Hoover's plan on steroids and was elected 4 times because he was attempting to fix the economy Hoover "broke." Therefore, basically the same policies the same failures, but it's perception that counts. So as long as Obama has good intentions it really doesn't matter what he does, it will be like Bush's policies in most respects, but the blame will always be on Repubs, conservatives, and free markets, let alone laissez faire economics, because the bubble burst during their tenure, regardless of the fact that the seeds were sown for this disaster in 1971. It seems Keynesians will always hold sway no matter how many times they fail because they are perceived to care, they have "good" intentions, and it appears that they are doing something to "fix" the problems.

I'll see you when the revolution hits the streets.

Let me make a prediction here. When election time rolls around again in about 3 1/2 years from now, Obama will say he didn't have enough time to fix all of Bush's, the Republican's, and the unregulated free market's mistakes. He will scare and the media will guilt the American people into voting him in for a second term. After all, how can we kick our first Black President out of office after only one term? Don't we owe black people more that that?

 

[Crash Martinez]

...as long as it takes for Obama's supporters to stop blaming Bush for all the country's problems and start blaming Obama. So yeah, I'd say 8 years to never.

Ding!

The populous is emotional about Obama. One thing about human emotion is that it's short lived. Emotional hype can only be maintained for so long before it gives way to reality.

 

[angelatc]

The same crowd that believes in Obama is the same crowd that believes in big government and socialism. Reason doesn't function in them, nor do the lessons of history.

Being American means never having to say you're sorry.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

Whatever happens, the excuse will be "Bush had 8 years to fuck it all up, and we need more time to 'fix' it", or some variant thereof.

This just CANNOT be misunderestimated.

My mind and heart will not permit of going along with an unthinking Majority.

He ALREADY said it . . . in his ACCEPTANCE speech when he clinched the deal on the Democratic nomination. Practically the first words out of his mouth were that these changes might not happen in one year, they might not happen in one TERM, but yada yada yada re: prosperity springing from hope or fish painting houses or whatever. He says whatever SOUNDS good. Things that SOUND good make people FEEL good.

Out will come platitudes:

You don't change horses mid-stream

It sends the wrong message to our enemies

These things take time

Stay the course

The one thing Obama CAN'T say is "I never promised you a rose garden," 'cuz he did.

That is EXACTLY what the Majority of politically attuned people are doing -- its OWN Elite, I would add. Hauling out the campaign tables, plotting the "victories" seat by seat, for years on end, so that OTHER Politicos can push THEIR agendas until it swings so far it is not sustainable, and then we can overreact BACK the other way. Again. All the while, with a tiny percentage of people making handsome livings at this bullshit.

Entrenched Politicians are creating and perpetuating bullshit, like many many lawyers do, because it establishes their purpose in life, their financial support, and their security. Their financial support and security, for grossly mismanaging a country, renders them SUBSTANTIALLY better off than the people who pay them.

It is lunacy.

You left out a category for "Never". These people will never acknowledge their own inability to recognize that Pres BHO has let them down. This is the "Yes, we can" bunch after all.

So I did not get to vote your poll.

How about Obama supporters don't care? Whether it be racially, retalitority, or false sense of problems are now solved, modivations.

This appears to be a trend with the Liberal secular individualistic beliefs... whereas, they don;t care about a majority of rights and/or policies, as long as their one or 2 interests are answered.

A good correlation between activist groups and their one subject/policy to be passed/enforced and willing to throw the US Constitution under the liberal bus.

Willing to sacrifice everyone else's rights and freedoms, all for their one selfish objective.

America is now, not a melting pot, just a mixing pot.

are you related to Nostradamus? yeah thats about how i see it playing out too

Actually, he never did promise a rose garden. He just spewed out a bunch of empty catch phrases, and the throngs of mindless fools heard a promise of a rose garden.

I think the economy will start to turn around during the summer and by the end of the year the national dialog will move to other more political issues that are not specifically economic related.

 

[tmosley]

They'll realize it in about a hundred years, when all this is happening again, just as conservatives are now waking up to the self-destructive futility of FDR's policies.
