I have noticed the news media, particularly those of a more liberal slant, have gone out of there way to point out what appears to be about a five point bump or bounce in the presidential polls in favor of Barack Obama.This is not really all that unusual for an incumbent president to receive a boost in the polls the Democratic Party having just concluded their convention last week is basking in a temporary jump in the presidential poll numbers. I am left to wonder however is this seeming hick in the polls really to be believed? Democrats, have a way of stacking the polls they take because the often ask more fellow democrats than republicans or undecided or in dependant voters. Still one is left to wonder how long will Obama's bounce last? I don't think it has a long life.
Obama, has problems among his own supporters New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, covered the recent democratic convention and was left totally unimpressed by Barack Obama's acceptance speech. Miss Dowd, is a renowned liberal and she was quite captivated by Obama, in 2005. She said that in Obama's speech she felt like Obama blamed the American people for the slow economic process and the change in the hope and change he was talking about was the hope that the American people would change.There fore if change wasn't happening fast enough it was the American people's fault. To say the least, Miss Dowd, was far from impressed with Obama and she has definitely lost that loving feeling she had for Obama, in 2008
Although no one can say for sure how long Obama's bounce will last there is one thing that is very sure there will always be those who would prefer something for nothing I only hope that there are still more people in this country who would rather choose to work and think for themselves rather than let the government give them hand outs and do there thinking for them. I'm afraid however that there may not be and if that is true then Obama's reelection is all but assured and America, once a free and independent nation guided by god through the free will of man alone will be gone forever. I suppose the next election will reveal the economic path Americans, choose to take a lot is riding on this election and one thing is sure Obama can enjoy is bounce in the polls right now but the poll taken on election day in November, is the only one that counts! As always my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
