“I am not so sure that Barack Obama is going to lose support among his followers any time soon.”

I agree. It’s becoming increasingly apparent to me that followers of Obama are mainly interested in “what’s in it for me”, and the prospect of a turned-on spigot from the Federal bureaucracy directly into their unemployed, bankrupt, over-mortgaged pockets is making them giddy with anticipation.

Will an ACORN follower give a tinker’s damn about Durban? Will that black woman who wanted Obama to give her free gas and pay her mortgage blink an eye if we also give free gas money to Hamas?

Why on earth did America’s Jews vote to support him in the first place? All he has to do to placate them is give them a conference call once in a while, and then toodle merrily on his way down the yellow brick road.

The *only* way that Obama is going to lose the support of that class of people is if someone — or lots of someones — can firmly turn off the promised flow of free money courtesy of the American taxpayer. And then they won’t blame Obama, but will blame Da Man, again, but at least this time if there’s riots in the streets I’m pretty sure we won’t be seeing a lot of white guilt in response.
