Obama is fast losing white voters' support

[bijou]

Reporting from Washington - After a summer of healthcare battles and sliding approval ratings for President Obama, the White House is facing a troubling new trend: The voters losing faith in the president are the ones he had worked hardest to attract.

New surveys show steep declines in Obama's approval ratings among whites -- including Democrats and independents -- who were crucial elements of the diverse coalition that helped elect the country's first black president.

Among white Democrats, Obama’s job approval rating has dropped 11 points since his 100-days mark in April, according to surveys by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. It has dropped by 9 points among white independents and whites over 50, and by 12 points among white women -- all groups that will be targeted by both parties in next year's midterm elections.

"While Obama has a lock on African Americans, his support among white voters seems to be almost in a free fall," said veteran Republican pollster Neil Newhouse.

Strategists in both parties blame Obama's decline on growing discontent with his policy agenda, particularly after a month of often-rowdy debate over his proposed healthcare overhaul, in which some conservatives accused him of socialism. Obama's ratings seem likely to rise again if he wins passage of healthcare legislation this fall.

Finally the MSM have come round to addressing Obama's falling ratings. Though of course it is white people to blame.

But whites are the racist ones, because they decide on policy issues not skin color.

People just seem to like to play the race card. This turd has no clue that it's NOT about race but about his policies. I could give a shit if he were pink & purple polka dotted, as long as he regarded the Constitution as the basis of law and quit hiring racist and whack job Czars.

IIRC, there was a poll (didn't catch which one) that said Obama's black support has dropped from 96 percent down to 74 percent.  This is hugh.

From what I understand the educated minority's are beginning to wiggle their eyebrows and ask what the heck that man is doing.  When I say educated I mean those that have a high school diploma and can read and write and speak English.

Our immigrants both legal and not ARE survivors.  They keep a weather eye on how the wind blows off Washington and are ready at a heart beat to pack up and head to Canada.

They do not understand the concept of single family housing, They do not understand the idea of living apart from family. In my neck of the woods the new Americans work 2 jobs and the older generation raises the kids and keeps their home spotless. AND THEY VOTE.

This new weird idea of Obamas and his plan to speak with little kids has them upset.  Most of them came here so their children could live a free life and not be brain washed by the government.

I believe the reason Obama will have one problem after another is the diversity of our population.

Germany was 70% German blue eyed blonds, The other 30% was a melting pot that in each division had so few members they could not do more then run away or try to hide.

Then the final blow to the minority's was the national identification card.  It was that card that allowed the government to round up anyone they wished.

This country is and was founded by Mongrels, as is Obama. he is as much white as he is black.    BTW, does anyone know what the what part of him is---French, English, Irish or Russian ?

Obama is loosing on all fronts except for the wellfair folks and the intellectual jerks that teach our children.

Give him time my friends, he will in the next few months understand that he cannot take over a diverse society.  Obama will have to learn how to herd CATS to put anything in place that will please us all.

He has to appease the Black Panthers

The White Supremacists

The John Birch Society

The Asian Cartel, the Latino Gangs, The Irish, the Italian Mobs.

The Hells Angles and the out law drug runners.

Then there is the typical White Folk that work 45 years and retire.  Those all ready retired after working 3/4 of their lives. Not to mention all the other races that have earned their retirement and fear it will go out the window.

Poor Old Obama, this poor man has no idea what he became involved with.  I do feel sorry for him, I think he really wants to go down in history as a good leader, BUT, the poor smock is allowing others to destroy his 4 years of fame.  It is not him that is failing us, it is those he has chosen to help run this Republic.  Alas dear Bruits, you too.?

"Wow, I ran as a centrist telling people that not only could I handle all problems in the country but moreover that once I was elected there would be no more problems. Promising tax cuts, an end to the war in Iraq, and that I would close Gitmo. I was billed by everyone that supported me as a uniter, as someone that was above partisan politics. So now that I'm in office and it comes to light that I lied about everything, and continue to not be able to tell the truth, not to mention attempting to uproot the entire US system of health care, AND pushing the tentacles of government further and further into the private sector - costing trillions of dollars in the process; Why am I losing support?"
