OBAMA MAY PULL OUT
By DICK MORRIS
Published on TheHill.com on September 20, 2011
As bad news piles up for the Democrats, I asked a top Democratic strategist if it were possible that President Obama might "pull a Lyndon Johnson" and soberly face the cameras, telling America that he has decided that the demands of partisan politics are interfering with his efforts to right our economy and that he has decided to withdraw to devote full time to our recovery. His answer: "Yes. It's possible. If things continue as they are and have not turned around by January, it is certainly possible."
Just looking at Michelle Obama's unsmiling face during her husband's recent speech to Congress triggered an insight: These folks aren't having fun anymore.
Obama, whose insistence on passing a healthcare law that the courts will probably throw out cost his party the House, will now cost his party the Senate too.
Obama's historic race to the top in 2008 was animated by huge margins and turnouts among four key groups: African-Americans, Hispanics, Jews and young voters. New polling data and the results of the Brooklyn-Queens Turner-Weprin elections suggest that his base is decaying, chunk by chunk.
* An analysis of the past three Fox News surveys indicates that Obama's job approval rating among voters younger than 30 has declined to 44 percent. By combining the past three surveys, Fox News was able to accumulate data on 600 under-30 voters indicating a sharp decrease in the president's approval from his former supporters.
* According to Gallup, Obama's approval among Hispanics has also dropped to 44 percent. Aggregating data from recent polls, as Fox News did, Gallup concluded that the president's ratings among Hispanics were not much higher than among the general electorate.
* The election of Republican Bob Turner in the single most Jewish district in America -- one that had not gone Republican since the 1920s -- shows the decay in Obama's Jewish support. Alienated by his perceived anti-Israeli bias, Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jews voted in massive numbers for Turner. Results in heavily Jewish areas reflected his desertion. But even such neighborhoods as Forest Hills, Queens, populated by Reform and Conservative Jews, showed the candidates running almost even.
Only the African-Americans remain of Obama's 2008 coalition. Surveys show his approval among blacks at higher than 80 percent, indicating no diminution of his enthusiasm there.
Yet the entire campaign strategy of the Obama people is to move to the left, fanning class warfare, to elicit strong liberal support. Rather than compensating for his loss of liberals by reaching out to independents and traditional swing voters, he just doubles down on his appeal to the left, further alienating the middle.
But the kind of enthusiasm Obama kindled in 2008 cannot be ignited easily by negative appeals.

Unless you actually have some sort of knowledge of a crime, calling for him to get 'indicted' is just plain goofy.I hope he doesn't pull out. This destroyer needs to stand for re-election and face the angry public. I personally want the satisfaction of seeing him get the "shellacking" he deserves. As far as I'm concerned he should be indited after leaving office and face charges for abuse of power.
Usurping Congress and the Constitution for starters.
Funneling taxpayer funds illegally too.
Obama's approval rating has been climbing since he announced he wanted to raise taxes on the wealthy. Scrolling down the page shows history to verify this.RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Obama Job ApprovalThe president's approval rating is on a downward spiral.

The president's approval rating is on a downward spiral. The economy is in the toilet. Liberal Democrats are unhappy and saying someone else should run. There is speculation that Obama might do a Lyndon Johnson move.
If the opposing party can't win with a rigged deck like that, how pathetic are they?
Yet, they seem determined to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory.
What a Hobsen's choice we have this time around.
Dick Morris is a complete idiot. Obama has no intention of pulling out of anything, let alone the 2012 election.
He is in it to win it..and if things keep going as they are he is gonna win it.
:2dance:
ugh.....
1st, he hasn't done anything illegal... so no, he shouldn't be indicted.
2nd, don't be so cocky... he's still in a very good position to win a 2nd term... and he very well may do just that.
sorry, i get a lil miffed at folks continually wanting presidents brought up on charges when they disagree with them.
Obama is not a criminal, nor is Bush.. Clinton is, but not Bush 1 or Reagan, or carter, or ford.. Nixon was.. Johnson wasn't, JFK wasn't.
Obama does stuff that i don't like.... every President i've been alive to see does stuff i don't like ( i was born during Ike's term)... i get over it, i don't want any of them in jail for doing what may well be the most difficult job in the country.

And he beats every republican candidate in head to head polling.
Dick Morris, the man who predicted Hillary Clinton vs Condaleeza Rice as the two primary winners in 2008...yeah, I think I am not going to bet money on his ideas.
Has there ever been a person in history more perpetually wrong than Dick Morris? I'm not sure I've ever seen him predict something that actually happened.
So if I made unwed pregnancies a felony, should I receive praise and worship if the teenage pregnancy rate drops?
Accomplishment by force is not worthy of bragging.
