Why President Obama lost the election: a poll
« on: October 20, 2012, 11:21:46 AM »
It is not too early for us to start the Monday morning quarterbacking.  It will be interesting to see how our votes correspond to the analysis being done after Election Day.  I will post a similar poll for Governor Romney as well, so that we cover all the bases.

Given the choices, the economy. On a broader scale, general asshatery.

Given the election cycle, and election day closing in, people who only pay attention for a couple weeks every four years are starting to have a better understanding for what he is.
That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.

The poll needs an option like "Incompetence," "Unlikeable," or "He's a buffoon who screws up everything he touches."

I'm also surprised you didn't list guns, although I don't think that's the reason.

Lacking the option to vote "Seen for what he actually is." in this thread's poll, I will wait for 6 November.  

*sigh*  I vote in Oregon, probably will have a ballot waiting on my next visit to the mailbox.  Apologies for sharing the senior moment.

How did you leave out "racists"?  Was it too obvious?   ???

(there's should probably also be a choice "It's Bush's fault")

The economy is the obvious and logical choice. And besides, arrogance wasn't listed.

Hey Fitz and AJ - another bumper sticker for you. Obama's "O" but with the word Obey like in Lee N Field's post.  =D

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

I choose this answer.

So now we have two people who think Obama is a communist turd button. I don't think I want to know the definition of turd button.

I think "blindly arrogant" should be in there somewhere, but I am sure some of the other answers cover it.

I think it's that little piece that's stuck, you know it's going to be annoying and stink but you can't get rid of it.  :laugh:

I voted "economy" but I was surprised that foreign policy didn't make the cut.

I picked "too liberal" because that's the closest answer to his problem.

The state of the economy is because he's too liberal and incompetent.

The state of the world is because he's too liberal and incompetent.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
