Why do you think it is Karnal that his own Party members now think he smells like 7 days old fish left out in the sun?
On the one hand, Obama is seen as someone who’s either sold out his reform agenda or been too ineffectual to make it happen.
On the other, it’s the economy. There have been huge job losses, the US may well enter another recession, and this hits the urban poor harder than anyone.
Read your GOP candidate’s policies: he wants to stimulate the US economy by building ships and planes, and sending them off to war in the Middle East.
There’s a sense in the US that Obama is fiddling while Rome burns.
Rome, however, is not burning, it’s declining. There are no easy answers to the problem, but the citizens want them. Anyone with a Bible and a sales pitch can sell himself as a presidential candidate these days (look at Obama), but no one can fix the mess.
Americans are slowly starting to realize this, and they hate the idea of waking up one day and not being number one anymore.
