They are DEFINITELY WORRIED and IN TROUBLE!!!
"Obama here for Coakley, trailing a diminished aura" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | January 17, 2010
WASHINGTON - The feverish excitement that propelled Barack Obama and scores of other Democrats to victory in 2008 has all but evaporated, worrying party leaders who are struggling to invigorate the base before Tuesday’s Massachusetts Senate race and November’s critical midterm contests, pollsters and party activists said.
President Obama’s scheduled visit to the Bay State on behalf of Democratic candidate Martha Coakley today, a rescue bid planned suddenly by the White House last week after Republican Scott Brown pulled even or ahead in some polls, will be a key test of the president’s ability to reenergize his dispirited party.
So he WASTED TAXPAYER MONEY and BURNED a HUGE CARBON FOOTPRINT to come up here for this.
But the challenges to getting an enthusiastic turnout for Democrats in 2010 are huge. Young voters and left-wing Democrats have become frustrated with progress on the Obama agenda in Washington. Polls show that Obama’s popularity among younger Americans is down....
The BROKEN PROMISES, BETRAYALS, and BUSH POLICIES are bugging them, huh?
While many young voters imagined that an Obama presidency would mean a speedy closure of Guantanamo Bay prison, a wind-down of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a health care plan that would, at least, provide a government insurance plan to compete with the private sector, they instead are frustrated at the slow pace of change, Michael Vastola, 21, a Tufts University senior and active College Democrat, and others said.
We ALL ARE!
We ALL HAD HIGH HOPES for him and he has done nothing but disappoint.
“There was this expectation that this was going to be like a Hollywood movie. He was a candidate almost fictionalized from day one,’’ Boston-based Democratic political consultant Michael Goldman said of Obama.
Oh, is that why his presidency stinks?
“Does it make me frustrated? It does. But it’s reality, it’s the world as it really is, not the fantasy.’’
Living 9/11 lies is NOT REALITY!
The trend threatens to do serious damage to the Democrats this fall as they seek to hang onto their majorities in Congress. With “tea party’’ activists and other conservatives eager to vent their anger over Democratic policies, low Democratic turnout could be devastating to the majority party.
I'm the second of the two.
While a GOP takeover of either chamber of Congress seemed highly unlikely even a month ago, Democratic officials, spooked by developments in deep-blue Massachusetts, fear that Republicans could score big upsets this fall.
And LOSE THIS Senate seat!
Btw, they will be lucky to hold the House next year. Hope Pelosi enjoyed her failed speakership.
The White House is clearly disheartened by the attacks it is getting from the left flank of the party....
Well, WHAT DID THEY EXPECT when they were butt-bumping them all year!?
American voters overall approve of Obama with 54 percent....
BULL!

Yeah, I thought I smelled an MSM poll.
“I do feel disappointment, yes,’’ said Ben Katz, 26, a former Obama campaign volunteer coordinator in Maine. But Katz acknowledged that he and others like him might have had unrealistic expectations of what Obama and a Democratic Congress could do - especially with the filibuster in the Senate. “Some made unrealistic expectations of Obama as a messianic figure,’’ Katz said.
WTF is wrong with this Jew (sigh!)?
He's GOT the FILIBUSTER-PROOF Senate with Joe the Jew as the gatekeeper!
Liberal blogs are loaded with complaints about Obama and demands that the president move to the left....
Only if Israel tells him to.
"When you look at what happened, there’s not much change,’’ said Jane Hamsher, who pens a left-leaning blog, FireDogLake.
There is, but it is in the WRONG DIRECTION!
While Massachusetts Democrats are stunned at the apparent closeness of the race for Senate, they hope the situation will light a fire under the feet of disaffected voters who otherwise might stay home on Tuesday, presuming Coakley would win the heavily Democratic state. Instead of playing down polls that show Coakley in real trouble, national Democrats have trumpeted them to rank-and-file members of the party, urging them to contribute cash and operate phone banks to get out the vote....
Oh, I JUST SMELLED a STINK, readers!!
An SELF-SERVING, AGENDA-PUSHING, FEAR-MONGERING STINK!
The White House has been courting liberals of late.
Yeah, AFTER SHITTING ALL OVER THEM now he wants some loving! Then GIVE US SINGLE-PAYER, dip!
Obama has been brutally critical of Wall Street bankers who are scheduled to receive eight-figure bonuses, rhetoric that has a strong populist appeal. And Gibbs last week deemed “stupid’’ the comments of conservatives Rush Limbaugh and the Rev. Pat Robertson for their comments on Haiti. Limbaugh suggested Obama would use the crisis to appeal to black voters, while Robertson, a former presidential candidate, blamed the Haitian earthquake on a pact he said Haitians made with the devil to rid the country of French colonizers.
That's all CRAP FOOLEYS and DIVERSIONS that WE DON'T CARE ABOUT!
Organizing for America, created to keep the Obama grass-roots campaign network active, is also working to energize the Obama base.
I know a few around here who quit.
While the group has come under criticism by some activists for its top-down approach, Jeremy Bird, its deputy national director, said the group succeeded in getting 2.2 million people actively involved by writing letters to Congress or making phone calls on behalf of health care overhaul and other issues.
Yeah, that was one thing they mentioned.
In Massachusetts, that activity could be critical, supporters said.
“There was a call to arms when the polls started coming out’’ showing Brown closing in on Coakley, said Nicole LaChapelle, a volunteer based in Easthampton.
Little LATE to be on the DEFENSIVE, isn't it, Democrats?
