Day By Day July 13, 2010 – Something

There is little question that Democrats and President Obama’s political strategy has been to divide America rather than unite them in a common cause. But, isn’t that the socialist agenda – redistribution from the haves to the have-nots?

Isn’t it interesting that a majority of American voters identify Obama as a “socialist?”

The latest poll by Democracy Corps, the firm of James Carville and Stan Greenberg, has Republicans leading on the generic ballot among likely voters, 48 percent to 42 percent.

Deep in the poll, they ask, “Now, I am going to read you a list of words and phrases which people use to describe political figures. For each word or phrase, please tell me whether it describes Barack Obama very well, well, not too well, or not well at all.”

When asked about “a socialist,” 33 percent of likely voters say it describes Obama “very well,” 22 percent say “well,” 15 percent say “not too well,” and 25 percent say “not well at all.”

In other words, 55 percent of likely voters think “socialist” is a reasonably accurate way of describing Obama.

Soon desperation will set into the White House political operatives as their poll numbers continue to drop and the Republicans get ready to take over the Congress. The question is whether the Republican electoral gains will help or hurt the prospects for an Obama second term?

I think the Obama Presidency has already been set in stone – one term failure. Hope and change won’t be able to trump inaction and Big Government policies.
