   He’s been the underdog in every race he’s run…..and in the long run, America always roots for the underdog! That’s a good place for him to be…no satisfaction, no resting….no complacency for us. Let the Republicans get all complacent and proud…..they’ll get their comeuppance! I think one thing that happened in 2010, in addition to the professional left and their destructive antics, was the complacency on the part of independent and
   Democratic voters. They still thought “we got this”…..so foolish. Now those same people know it’s not a lock…that seems to be what is needed for action. Let the Republicans spend their energy on their stupid primaries, we’ll conserve ours for the real deal. In the meantime, the warchest is being built up for a full assault.

   Yep. People always expect him to fail. And he always seems to prove them wrong.

   Wow Stunningly rude with their poll at ABC.. “one term President” “lowest number of his Presidency”. I doubt their poll, and there is no way we’re going to let President Obama be a one-term President.. the media really really underestimates his BASE, but thats ok, I don’t mind being an “underdog” either Oh & pushing that speech by Christy(ie?) is really sad.. good grief ABC.

   And George S.: Blech… I’ll never forget his disgusting display during the primaries, and that pathetic ‘debate’ between POTUS & Hillary.

     George is an idiot!! He gets an interview with the POTUS and uses his time to ask silly questions about a questionable poll and wants the Prez to respond to something the fat boy says. Think of all the good questions he could have asked. Questions that real people would like answers to.

       You’ve got give George Stephanopolous this: he’s consistent…

       Consistently petty, shallow, gossipy, wrong, and deathly envious and resentful of the great,calm, evolved and intrinsically decent and brilliant man President Obama is…

       George will never be more than the desperately dishonest, small-minded sideshow carnival barker always looking and grasping for straws hoping to trip the great guy up…

       A solid 25% indeed…

   Lesson learned stop waiting for others to do it. We must do it or watch the country go under. Freedom is not free.

   What he said in the interview was not what ABC wrote in their write up. They wrote that he had a defeatist attitude and was looking downtrodden and crap crap crap. That’s the height of disingenuous reporting. But hey; it’s the GOP Media; what else could I expect. He’s right when he says he’s the underdog and has always been the underdog because people always underestimate him, count him out or say he’s down for the count and he comes back with a slamming punch. Republicans can go ahead saying crap about him; but lookout for when he finally enters the campaign in full throttle mode. He’ll be swinging left and right with truth and facts and making them look like petulant children. And really? 42% is now a low apporoval rating? Really???!! He’s higher than freaking Reagan and Clinton at this point in their Presidencies. Give me a break!

     I read the writeup on the ABC site and that is the impression I got too. It was pretty depressing, since I hadn’t seen the interview. The President’s poll numbers are really not that low. George is one of the Clinton people and has always been against PBO, add to that his being part of the MSM that will do anything to get repugs back in office.

       PBO has always been the underdog since he started to run for president, we all remember Mark Penn manipulating
       the poll for Hillary Clinton, The keep telling us that she was going to winn and she was 35% ahead of PBO, and the
       also the MSM were telling us the same fucking lies so many of the Obama supporters were geting worried . watch out
       for the ground game that the Obama will develop that’s what is at. PBO did excellent on the interview I am not worried.
