Something that Obama supporters should be asking is: "has obama lost or gained supporters (voters) in the past 2.5 years."

Obama won with 53% of the popular vote.

there's no doubt that Obama has held his core liberal supporters. But has he kept the middle?

about 132 million voters turned out for the 2008 election. Has Obama lost 5% of the votes that he got in 2008? That's about 6.6 million voters....

My belief is that Obama has not gained one voter since the election. I believe that it took every ounce of effort (and dollar) that the democrat party and acorn and the unions and the environmentalists could muster to get that 53%. In addition, I think that there was a huge contributing factor of Americans wanting to prove that they were not 1. Racist and 2. Were so enlightened and open minded that they would elect a guy with a name like Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama's blatant racism, complete lack of understanding about the economy and total bumbling of international affairs has lost him a lot of voters. Is it 6.6 million voters? We'll find out in 1.5 years. Gasoline prices aren't going to help him. Especially when his cabinet stated their intention of driving up the price of fuel...and then Obama follows through with crippling domestic production...while giving handouts for brazilian production.

And if we have a stock market crash..that's not gonna help (and the indicators that I watch say that it is coming soon!). And if housing prices continue to drop...that ain't gonna help.

And it's not like Obama can pressure the fed to drop interest rates to help jack up the market. The only thing that Obama can do to stimulate the economy at this point is to cut taxes dramatically. Especially for businesses. What do you think the chances of that are?

nope...I'd say that the ABB (Anyone But Barack) factor is going to kill the dems chance of getting the presidency in 2012. Best thing the dems could do right now is run Hillary. I think she'd win. Otherwise....a poodle would beat Baracka

In adding up your numbers.....let's talking about the jewish population. There are about 6.5 million jews in the U.S. obama got 85% of the Jewish vote...How many of those jewish voters do you think he lost in the past week? Do you think he gained any since the election?

D'oh! Forget '57 states,' Obama still thinks it's 2008
President mistakenly writes wrong year in guest book at Westminster Abbey

President Obama wrote down the year 2008 instead of 2011 when signing the guest book today at Westminster Abbey in London



The U.S. commander in chief wrote a brief note, stating:

It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.
Barack Obama

24 May 2008

Obama was heard to ask what the day's date was, and while he got the month and day's date correct, he was three years off in the year.

Commenting on the error, top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh noted, "You know, if Sarah Palin had thought this was 2008, Katie Couric would have stormed the CBS anchor desk last night and tried to take over the news just to report it. No, seriously. If Reagan or Palin thought it was three years ago? They're making excuses for Obama, he's jet lagged, he was tired, any number of things."

Limbaugh continued: "You can say what you want about Herman Cain, but he knows what year it is. Obama thinks it's 2008. How do you do that? ...

"Maybe this is what he means by 'leading from behind.' Maybe he wants history to know he was there in 2008 and is responsible for all that's happened since. Maybe he was trying to pull a fast one on everybody. Or maybe he thinks he's still in campaign mode. We know he's campaigning."

This is not the first major oops moment for the president.

During the presidential campaign of 2008, Obama claimed he had visited 57 states, with two more to go:
