Obama was LYING all along about prosecuting MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

Obama.... breaking a campaign promise?

Not that I don't think pot should be legal....

but the whole keeping Fiza thing was a lot worse.


Thing is though, he HASN'T lost his strongest supporters. Cause he knows at the end of the day... no liberal is going to vote for a republican.

Didn't lose homosexuals with his fighting don't ask don't tell because he didn't want a republican group to get the credit and wanted to pass a law before it happened.

Hasn't lost his Jewish voters despite his recent anti Israel positioning.

Hasn't lost the pacifists when he started a war... for like even less reason then bush's stupid reasons.

He could be George Bush or any right wing guy in actions.  He isn't losing votes.  Who's he going to lose them too?

He doesn't have to lose them to anyone; he just has to lose them. If the economy still sucks next year (spoiler: it will) then it's gonna be awful hard for Obama to get people to turn out for him. In 2008 Obamamania was still running wild and eight years of Bush had completely destroyed the Republican party, but as mrstickball pointed out, Obama's win was decisive but hardly crushing. At this point, given the general malaise in the country, a 6% swing seems far more likely than not. If college kids just decide Obama isn't cool anymore (polls indicate that they already have) and don't show up for him this time around, he could easily lose to a competent opponent.
