Will Ralph Nader Challenge Barack Obama to Democrat Primary in 2012?

RUN FOREST NADER, RUN!!!

Barack Obama has not been the most favorite individual among the Liberals and Progressives lately. Those such as US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who caucuses with the Democrats, has even gone so far to say that a Democrat Progressive needs to challenge Obama in a Democrat primary in 2012.

Is Ralph Nader that Progressive? The well known consumer activist and past Democrat Presidential primary contender has stated that he will launch an initiative to field primary challenges to President Obama in key states. Is Nader the “Monkey in the wrench” and the fly in the ointment for Obama? Imagine the damaging effects to Obama, who would have to run a primary and push himself even farther to the LEFT to win? All too many people believe Obama is more LEFT of them presently. The effects of a primary against Obama would be devastating to his reelection bid and force him to spend his political war chest against a challenge from Democrats who he believes to just be in lockstep with him.

“It’s an initiative to scan the possibilities of people who may run,” Nader said in a phone interview. “My guess is that it’s almost 100 percent sure there’s going to be a primary challenge to Obama from somebody or somebodies — plural — in some states.”

Nader’s effort follows comments over the weekend by Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), a liberal independent who caucuses with Democrats, that it would be a “good idea” for Obama to face a primary challenge in 2012.

Obama has made many promises to the LEFT and has done nothing more than “left” them holding the bag. The end result is a falling Obama job approval rating as Barack has managed to upset the RIGHT, the LEFT and INDEPENDENTS.

Guest Post: Brian is a Blue State

A special thanks to RED for letting me post while he takes a little bit of a well deserved respite. I do not have quite the same style but will certainly do my best to carry on the SM tradition.  I take my posting name in honor of Red’s original web posting name from back in the day, “Red in s Blue State”. Get some rest Red and feel better.

ABC/WAPO Poll: 39% Approve of Obama’s Handling of the Economy … Base Crumbling

Obama in more even more trouble in the polls as only 39% approve of his handling of the economy. But that is not the only trouble for Obama in the most recent  ABC – Washington post poll. As reported in the LA Times, Obama’s liberal base is crumbling. Barack Obama can be described as nothing more than an “EPIC FAILURE”. Especially after last nights speech when instead of leading, he chose to use the same old blame game. How come none of the MSM last night were saying that it was Obama’s best speech ever? Maybe because it wasn’t and every one knows it.

More than a third of Americans now believe that President Obama’s policies are hurting the economy, and confidence in his ability to create jobs is sharply eroding among his base, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The Post-ABC survey found that a majority of Americans still blame former president George W. Bush for the state of the economy. But it also found that Americans who identified most closely with the burgeoning tea party movement are more likely to have experienced lifestyle changes because of the downturn.

Full poll can be seen HERE.

What does Obama face in 2012? How is Obama going to answer this question of the American people? Honestly, what has Obama done in his first term in office that anyone in America wants more of? Frankly, the US can’t afford to have Obama for another 4 years.

Are You Better Off Today Than Jan. 20, 2009?

A slim 15% claim to be “getting ahead financially,” half what it was in 2006. Fully 27% say they’re falling behind financially. That’s up 6 points since February.

A significant majority (54%) says they’ve been forced to change their lifestyle significantly as a result of the economic times — and 60% of them are angry, up from 44%.
