How glorious.
A month after emerging victorious from the bruising Democratic nominating contest, some of Barack Obama‘s glow may be fading. In the latest NEWSWEEK Poll, the Illinois senator leads Republican nominee John McCain by just 3 percentage points, 44 percent to 41 percent. The statistical dead heat is a marked change from last month’s NEWSWEEK Poll, where Obama led McCain by 15 points, 51 percent to 36 percent.
In a single month. Obama has lost 12 points to McCain.
To. John. McCain.
What’s that I hear PUMAs? I totally agree, but I told you so doesn’t translate well into cult-speak so I’m sure they wouldn’t understand.
This is something we all can understand easily. We aren’t limited to what Precious says is ok. We have the capability to experience truth individually. We don’t need anyone’s permission to think.
But for those that do there are other realities. Scary realities. Realities where “that woman” is a diversion from all things Barky. OMG!
More seriously, some Obama supporters worry that the spectacle of their candidate eagerly embracing his old rival, Hillary Clinton, and traveling the country courting big donors at lavish fund-raisers, may have done lasting damage to his image as an arbiter of a new kind of politics.
The spectacle of eagerly embracing. These supposed followers of the new politics have real issues reaching out. Which only defines how much hype this new politics bullshit really is.
What is most amusing amazing is that the Cultists attribute this to Hillary. Like it couldn’t have a thing to do with Obama’s flip flops. The guy is getting so good at flip flopping that he can actually flip flop and throw someone under the bus at the same time. And call you a racist.
I’m telling you this guy has talent.
Newsweek speculates that Obama’s embrace of Hillary has damaged his brand of New Politics. That did a lot less damage than Barack Obama’s series of policy reversals and gaffes over that three-week period. He has revealed himself as an empty suit and a pandering rookie, and he certainly didn’t need Hillary to point that out.
A casual reading of the polling data alone would have confirmed who is responsible for this shift away from Obama. And it isn’t Hillary.
But there is a definite momentum away from Obama, especially within the independents. June’s poll, taken only three weeks ago, had Obama ahead by 12 points, 48-36. Obama has lost a whopping 14 points among independents and now trails McCain, 34-41.
Obama now trails John McCain among Independents. It serves the misogynist friend with terrorists elitist flip flopper right.
