But Conservative media has been able to effectively spin the message that Obama is to blame for employers not wanting to hire (sitting on trillions of dollars)... for corporations sending jobs overseas, and they have created the expectation that a President can somehow magically improve conditions in the private sector by forcing business owners to add workers. It's easy for a Gov't/President to screw things up for an economy.... But it is much harder for a President to fix it once it's broken because of the limited tools... and especially with a Congress Hell bent on working against him so that they can get re-elected. The approval numbers are largely the result of the economy...and unfortunately whichever party is in power usually takes the hit...whether they deserve it or not. American voters don't pay much attention to details to determine which party is working for their interests. But it's not just the economy. This is also a result of a shrewd (effective) media strategy on the part of Republicans/Conservatives. As a result, Obama is seeing his numbers drop in States all across the Country. This is why I believe 2012 will look more like 2000 & 2004...not the blowout of 08.<br /><br />Progressives are partly to blame for not doing more to fight the false/misleading narratives...Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/07872444863142531165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21083673.post-25914570944420582672011-09-15T08:38:49.356-07:002011-09-15T08:38:49.356-07:00The vast majority of White folk don't even und...The vast majority of White folk don't even understand that they are born into privilege (particularly White men) by virtue of the very color of their skin.<br /><br />No mistake, though, not all of us White folk are blind to the delusion you describe so eloquently here.
