Title: Why President Obama lost the election: a poll
Post by: MillCreek 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.

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.

Dirty Commie would have been another valid choice.  :P

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")

Last two posts are awesome. But a little sad.

Why isn't " A real opposition party was discovered at the last moment" a choice?

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 didn't see the "Because he's a communist turd button."

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.

(Continue applying these to all the issues...)
