Cicero
Mayor
But don’t panic leftwingers. Obama is spending a portion of his billion dollars re-election campaign funds [mostly from all those Wall Street firms you hate] to flood the state with door-to-door liars – er – campaign workers who are tasked with telling people paying more for medical insurance – thanks to Obama – that the Anointed One managed health care reform for them. LINK.
Oh but that’s not all! In a state in which experienced workers with college degrees and families and mortgages are now fighting over burger flipping jobs with teenagers those liars – er – campaign workers are going to tell New Hampshire voters that Obama has substantially increased jobs in this nation . . . if you are in the union, that is.
Oh and he ended two wars . . . after keeping them running for three to four years for no known reason that makes any sense.
Yes, Obama is flooding the state with door-to-door liars, but will that tactic work? You see the problem is that for the first time in his life Obama actually has a meaningful record to run on . . . and Lordy, but it’s not a good one. He entered office on a tsunami of raging lies and boastful promises and then turned out to be an absolute dud . . . just as so many realists predicted.
There’s the rub. Those pesky damn realists have turned out to be correct about Obama; he really was a not-ready-for-prime-time player artificially boosted into the Oval Office by a fanatically adoring mainstream media. But now let’s listen to a former Obama supporter and small business man who has to deal with reality under the administration of this Clown Prince:
Even despite blaming the GOP for everything under the stars and pouring incredible amounts of money into his re-election bid, Obama cannot run away from his presidential record, and all the spinning in the world cannot centrifuge the stink out of it.

Now isn’t that a kick to the britches?“Jobs – where are those jobs?” asks Charlie Logiotatos. The small-businessman admits he supported Obama in 2008 mainly out of Republican fatigue.
“He was a smooth talker, what can I tell you?” Logiotatos said in between serving customers in his diner. “His entire campaign was based on hype.”
Now he is saddened by the number of older, college-educated people who walk through his door looking to work as dishwashers after a lifetime of working white-collar jobs.
“I have to admit, it is scary,” he said. “Here you have people who are used to making $50,000, who are reduced to washing dishes or sweeping floors. They are the people who have given up, whose unemployment checks have stopped coming in.”
Logiotatos said the sour economy also has produced an uptick in crime: “The bank next door? Robbed three times in the past few months. Drugs are a problem, too.
“I say people have lost hope since 2008. I don't think that was what the slogan was meant to portray,” he said of the president’s original hope-and-change platform.
The only thing Obama has ever been good at is campaigning for office. But now that voters actually know who and what he is, the man doesn’t have the same advantages as the blank-slate candidate of 2008.To win this state again, the president needs to explain his record and have some sort of accomplishment to tout. Yet none of his accomplishments sit well with voters here in the “Live Free or Die” state.
Independent voters such as Logiotatos, who helped to push Obama to victory in 2008, have hardened against him and will not turn back. Liberals [in the state], who make up his critical base, are not motivated to turn out and vote; to them, Obama has been very disappointing.
And “the president has to have this state to win,” reminds pollster Paleologos. “It is as important as either an Ohio or a Pennsylvania.”
Even despite blaming the GOP for everything under the stars and pouring incredible amounts of money into his re-election bid, Obama cannot run away from his presidential record, and all the spinning in the world cannot centrifuge the stink out of it.
