I'll post the same thing to you I posted to Warfy:

I am not getting on the dems!! Few liberal are. We are only questioning Obama. And it is the independents that are fleeing the Obama ship like rats. The vast majority of the liberals like me are holding fast. All polls show that.

And the independents are not deserting Obama because of what any liberals are saying. They are doing it because Obama has made mistakes like going after health care in 09 when he was looking right in the face of a second depression!

He should have addressed the depression full bore with the best advisers like Volker, Krugman and stiglitz instead of marginalizing them.

People vote their pocket books and when they are worried about jobs nothing else matters. That is a matter of statistical verification which Ezra Kline presented last week. Kline said they can predict is within 2% uncertainty or something like that. A very high correlation.

Had Obama addressed the depression right off the bat as his cabinet had advised him, and had Obama listened to Volker, Krugman and stiglitz (who said the stimulus was too small and the rescue of the banks should have been run through main street instead of giving money directly to the banks) instead of those two idiots Summers and Geightner, the dems would not be in the trouble they are in.

What the liberals say or do not say, has nothing at all to do with the desertion of the moderates/independents. Nothing at all.

"It is the economy stupid"--it is always the economy. Almost a perfect correlation regardless of who is running. Ezra Kline!
