Barack Obama … Carolina in His Mind … Many Things Have Changed in North Carolina Since 2008
President Barack Obama and his reelect minions have “Carolina in their minds” and it is not a good thing. That’s North Carolina on his mind as Obama could never win in South Carolina. The Obama campaign has been looking for a 2012 campaign slogan to replace, “Yes we Can”, because they obviously can’t and “Hope & Change” as all Americans hope for these days is some change left in their pockets. As seen in what is transpiring in states like Virginia, Florida and North Carolina, their slogan should be, “This Ain’t 2008 Anymore”. In 2008 Obama beat McCain in the Tar Heel state; however, he would be hard pressed to do that again and pick up those electoral votes.
North Carolina represented the high water mark for the great Obama wave in 2008 — but he’s swimming against the tide there in 2012.
No state better illustrates the challenge Obama faces in trying to consolidate the historic gains of his 2008 campaign at a time when hope, change and optimism have been supplanted by anger, skepticism and disillusionment.
It’s not merely that fewer than 45 percent of state voters approve of the job performance of the president who’s set to land there Tuesday, or that the state’s unemployment rate is pushing double digits. Or that both houses of the state legislature flipped from blue to red in 2010.
We have stated for quite some time that it is a near impossibility for Barack Obama to catch lightening in a bottle as he did in 2008. That was then, this is now. What is Obama’s greatest issue to rally the troops … um, maybe his record as President for the past 3+ years, over 8% continued unemployment, out of control spending, record number of Americans on food stamps, record number of Americans on federal disability, escalating gas prices and Obama himself … the $5 trillion man. Oh yea, and Obamacare.
Honestly, as James Taylor sings … the only way Obama will win Carolina is “in his mind”.

More Honors for Barack Obama:1 in 2 New College Graduates Are Unemployed or Underemployed … They Very People Who Backed Him in 2008
Hey youth of America, how is that “Hopey – Changey” stuff working out for ya these days?
Barack Obama promised hope and change to the youth of America. He promised them jobs, happiness and unicorns. Obama promised them the world and has delivered, um, pretty much nothing. The youth who mobilized for Obama in 2008 are now presented with the following, one in two graduates are unemployed or underemployed.
VIDEO Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit
The college class of 2012 is in for a rude welcome to the world of work.
A weak labor market already has left half of young college graduates either jobless or underemployed in positions that don’t fully use their skills and knowledge.
Young adults with bachelor’s degrees are increasingly scraping by in lower-wage jobs — waiter or waitress, bartender, retail clerk or receptionist, for example — and that’s confounding their hopes a degree would pay off despite higher tuition and mounting student loans.
An analysis of government data conducted for The Associated Press lays bare the highly uneven prospects for holders of bachelor’s degrees.
Hope and change baby. I wonder if any of these duped folks will be so supportive of Obama in 2012?

Barack Hussein Obama Says, “In Just Three Years… We’ve Begun to See What Change Looks Like” (Video)
AMERICA, HOW’S THE “HOPEY-CHANGEY” THING WORKING FOR YA?
UNREAL, Barack Obama actually thinks that America is on the right path and we are beginning to see what change looks like. Of course “what change looks like” is defined as Obama’s agenda to make every American dependent on the government from pre-birth to grave.
President Barack Obama is actually proud of his accomplishments as President, really? Obama told a group of supporters today,“In just three years, because of what you did in 2008, we’ve begun to see what change looks like. We’ve begun to see it.” Listen to the comment at the 1:35 mark of the below VIDEO, President Barack Hussein Obama says the unthinkable.

The full transcript of the video clip can be seen at Real Clear Politics.
We knew it wasn’t going to be easy. We knew the changes that we believed in wouldn’t necessarily come quickly, but we understood that if we were determined that we could overcome any obstacle, that we could beat any challenge. And in just three years, because of what you did in 2008, we’ve begun to see what change looks like. We’ve begun to see it.
So Barack Hussein Obama’s change looks like the following:
- Record number of Americans on food stamps.
- $5 trillion in new debt.
- continued above 8% unemployment.
- Barack Obama has added 5.4 Million to federal Disability Rolls.
- Barack Obama has tripled the US deficit.

More Failure from Obamanomics … 5.4 Million Join Disability Rolls Under Obama
Barack Obama, what a legacy … The Rise of the Nanny State as more and more Americans become dependent on government.
Thanks to Barack Obama’s economic policies and Obamanomics a record number of Americans find themselves on food stamps and disability. A record number 5.4 million workers and their dependents have signed up to collect federal disability checks since President Obama took office. UNREAL. American workers have given up looking for jobs, exhaust their unemployment benefits and then sign up for federal disabilities.
A record 5.4 million workers and their dependents have signed up to collect federal disability checks since President Obama took office, according to the latest official government data, as discouraged workers increasingly give up looking for jobs and take advantage of the federal program.

Obamanomics Epic Fail … CBO States Food Stamp Rolls Explode By 70%
From the CBO comes the following, Barack Obama, The Food Stamp President …
The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, a 70% increase from 2007. It said the number of people receiving the benefits, commonly known as food stamps, would continue growing until 2014.
Spending for the program, not including administrative costs, rose to $72 billion in 2011, up from $30 billion four years earlier. The CBO projected that one in seven U.S. residents received food stamps last year.
Good grief, is it any wonder why Barack Obama is trying to divide and deflect as a political strategy for 2012 reelection? If he actually ran on his record he would be rode out of town on a rail. What a pathetic weak recovery due to nothing more than the policies and socialist Obama agenda.
