    Is Obama's Magic gone?
    Remember the "Magic Negro" term laid on Obama by the gay black male writer in the LA Times OpEd ?

    Later made infamous by Rush Limbaugh.


    By David Ehrenstein writes about Hollywood and politics.

    March 19, 2007

    AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.

    But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the "Magic Negro."


    AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president.

    Seems the 'Negro' has lost his 'Magic'



    Aug 25, 2011

    Gallup tracks daily the percentage of Americans who approve or disapprove of the job Barack Obama is doing as president. Results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 1,500 national adults; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points.

    Approval 38

    Disapproval 55

        No, not really. He polled very high for months. However the gap between his Approval/Disapproval #s is at its widest

            I disagree. Or at least his 'magic' was touted by most in the professional media. Everything he did or said was reported as "Historical" or "Unprecedented" in his 1st year

                Magic or not. If the Republicans nominate Rick Perry.. that all but ensures Obama's reelection.

                            Obama will get second term

                            Get used to it

                            We are on the right track. In a few years this economy will be thriving

                            Democrats will win in 2016 too. People know not to let the Republicans drive this country into the ground again

                                  As much as I hate to say it, no its not. I hate Rick Perry everything about him, but many many americans love his gay bashing, gun touting, god fearing, type of guy he is.

                                        BREAKING NEWS:? President Obama has just confirmed that the DC earthquake occurred on a rare and obscure fault-line, apparently known as "Bush's Fault". Obama also announced that the Secret Service & Maxine Waters continue an investigation of the quake's suspicious ties to the Tea Party. Conservatives however have proven that it was caused by the founding fathers rolling over in their graves.

                                                    Yeah, we CHANGED from losing 750,000 jobs in December of 2008 to now gaining every month.


                                                    What have your Teatard saviors done so far, other than being cited primarily as the reason we got downgraded by the S&P?

                                                      During the presidential campaign, then candidate Obama made the downturn in the economy one of his cornerstone issues. Now, that he has been president for almost 2 ½ years, time for a “reality check” as Bill O’Reilly would say.
                                                      So, welcome to Obamanomics 101 – where the math doesn’t work because the numbers don’t mean a thing.
                                                      Obama’s main idea for re-invigorating the economy was “the stimulus package.” This bill was placed on the fast-track because Obama hailed it as the cure-all for the economy that would avert an economic catastrophe. According to Obama, the stimulus would:
                                                      Keep unemployment under 8% — This is the one of the better known selling points. So, how did that work?
                                                      The unemployment rate when Obama took office was 7.6%. The stimulus was passed in February 2009. According to Obama, it was never supposed to go above 8% — well, it was already at 8.1% when the stimulus became a law. And it never got any better. According to the Bureau of Labor & Statistics, the unemployment rate remained high. There were some predictions that it would stay above 9% until 2012 (and this was from the White House no less). The CBO also predicts that the unemployment rate would be 8.2% come November 2012 which is higher than when he took office. http://www.redstate.com/cmac1225/201...yment-under-8/

                                                            Ya well if I spent 800 Billion, I am sure I could get a temporary spike in jobs, but this was obviously a band-aid solution. Reality set in.

                                                              Lots of Obama haters on the radio. It's amazing how much hate there is in this world for a patriot like President Obama who doesn't budge to the demands of the mega rich and the masons but instead is fighting to save the middle class of our country from extinction.
