Apparently the messianic veneer has worn off from the 'anointed one' four years after his coronation. Several reasons pop into mind concerning the missing in action leftists on the forum. The 'blame Bush' bullshit doesn't fly anymore after four years. Plus, Obama OWNS the current economy..It's impossible to defend the indefensible.

Progressives are having a very difficult time defending the destructive policies of their community organizer Obama. I see alot of buyer's remorse from the Independents that supported Obama in 2008. Thankfully, Independents are running away from this fraud like the plague. And it didn't help Obama one bit by him removing the word 'God' from their platform, and Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel. The President is the only one that can change the platform which is another mistake in the litany of idiotic mistakes that Obama makes on a daily basis, nevermind Joe "put yall back in chains" Biden.

For the most part, Progressives are cowards. Progressives NEVER take responsibility for their actions, and they will NEVER admit they made a mistake by voting for this street rabble-rouser from Chicago, so it is only natural for them to stay clear of the forum since Obama has been a consistent proven failure. Progressives are only good at one thing..class warfare and painting their Conservative opponents as either murderers, felons, and last but not least, the infamous trump card that no longer has any meaning..Raaaaacist... which is exactly how they tried to paint Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. In Romney's case, all three.

Lamont, that is exactly what these progressives do on this forum...No matter WHAT you critique about Obama's policies, the progressives, like a laser beam, go straight to the race card. The race card is a default button for the politically inept, and the forum is full of them, I certainly don't have to tell you that..:-)

It would seem that the progressives would be expounding on all the great successes of their man Obama with less than two months before the election, but instead, late term abortion, genitalia usage, and birth control are the cornerstones of their Party,

I have never seen, in my entire life, a President that refuses to run on his record for his re-election. All this fraud has is class warfare, and lies on his opponents. This is exactly how Obama has won every election he has ever been in. Jack Ryan knows this all to well when he ran against in Obama for State Senate.

Dig this:

In his first race for office, seeking a state Senate seat on Chicago's gritty South Side in 1996, Obama effectively used election rules to eliminate his Democratic competition.

As a community organizer, he had helped register thousands of voters. But when it came time to run for office, he employed Chicago rules to invalidate the voting petition signatures of three of his challengers.

The move denied each of them, including incumbent Alice Palmer, a longtime Chicago activist, a place on the ballot. It cleared the way for Obama to run unopposed on the Democratic ticket in a heavily Democrat district.

 Have you watched Star Wars bar scene come to life yet? ie: the DNC Convention. If you haven't you should, you would get more laughs out of that freak show than you would from watching a Gallagher comedy show.

 Speaking of freaks, he are four like-minded individuals. Great book by an ex-1960's leftist turned Conservative,David Horowitz.

Remorse indeed Mark!
