Presidents get a honeymoon that eventually fades away. Obama's irresponsible choices on the (inevitably ineffective) stimulus bill led to a declining approval, even as voters still liked him personally. "Shovel ready" is a lie and "green jobs" are a fraud. But now that 80% of white Americans disapproved of his response to the Gates incident, the honeymoon is over. Rasmussen has him at -10 and as the unemployment climbs, as it surely will, so will disapproval. (Obama will only sporadically address economic growth and employment.) Obama has committed himself to the obvious lie that letting the government take over healthcare will improve the debt situation -- a claim that no one, least of all Obama, Rahm, and Pelosi actually believes. As we roll into the 2010 Congressional races, independents and centrist Dems have already peeled away. Obama will face an electoral college problem in 2012 and only a bad GOP choice can win him a second term.

But obviously, you will say, that any economist worth anything, thinks that Obama's policies are crap, so in reality there is consensus among real economists

No. They don't care about unemployment unless they are unemployed...and they don't care about debt except to the extent it affects them....and the vast majority of the voting public is still employed....and interest rates are low.

Everyone cares about how it effects them...and there is a huge group of people who will benefit greatly from universal health care...the people that don't benefit as much (or at least don't think they do) aren't a big enough group to do much on their own.

Not the difference between 10% and 8%. So, what, that means that 1 or 2 more people they know is unemployed? The extra unemployed voter is definitely not going to swing voting.

Where is your evidence that people vote based on unemployment numbers?

Getting 80% of Americans to agree on an issue is very hard -- and not something Obama wanted to see. The larger effect is to peel away indies and centrist Dems. They're the reason he won. If they don't believe in Obama, it will hurt in the 2010 election, it will prevent the health care bill, it force centrist Dems in red states into distancing themselves from Obama. All of which is starting to happen right now.

I think people overestimate Clinton's success with poor and rural whites.

Clinton did better with them than Obama, but he still lost them.

What Obama has done is replaced rural whites with more liberal, urban whites, of which there are more of given the revitalization of cities and younger people moving to cities. That won't change. He has lost some of his more upscale suburban support right now, but he can win that back if the general economy recovers.

But the WH better get to Gates and tell him to clean up his high and mighty act before the big event. Gates, who's quite white by the way, is an elitist with no idea how he comes across.

Obama will recover, but I admit it was a tough situation for him.

One thing Obama needs to better understand is how "class" works in the US. Obama and Gates don't think like this, but most Americans view them (fairly or unfairly) as of a higher class than folks like the cop, and when you berate a guy like that, most Americans typically react negatively.

Like when Reagan berated (then fired) the air traffic controllers?

Or when Bloomberg called the striking transit workers "thugs"?

Air traffic controllers and transit workers aren't sympathetic figures. Cops typically are. You are going to argue race has a role, but air traffic controllers were probably mostly white.

Striking transit workers were TTT, BTW.

and they went out on strike, illegally, which fucked over traveling americans. it was the dumbest union move ever, with the possible exception of the MLB umpires who resigned because they were sure that baseball couldn't work without them.

"Cops typically are."

I'd argue that amongst a large portion of America, they're no more sympathetic than transit workers.

"Striking transit workers were TTT, BTW."

I don't argue against strikes, particularly industrial strikes. Service oriented strikes, though, have upset me from time to time. They happened at Yale and I didn't lik them then, and they happened at the MTA as well.

you forgot one minor detail. it was against federal law for air traffic controllers to go on strike. And reagan called their bluff by firing their sorry ass. Americans' respect for Reagan grew immensely after that incident because it showed strong leadership and an actual backbone.

Your point about how he was raised is a good one, but he did the opposite of race baiting: he ran as the post-racial guy, which is very appealing to whites. then when an elite black prof fucked up, obama called the blue collar white guy "stupid." obama betrayed his carefully cultivated image.

I think this is a misconception

Obama ran as a "post racial" guy? His biggest speech in the campaign was about race. Certain folks saw "post racial" in Obama, but most of those were Andrew Sullivan types who lean democrat anyway and are going to vote for him again in 2012. Plus, Obama spent millions of dollars driving up the black and Hispanic vote.

The critical point now is whether Obama can maintain any cred with the activist left. My guess is no. Centrist Dems will force Obama/Rahm/Pelosi to focus on job creation for the next 10 months.

the fact that it would climb and not drop as promised. the fact that Obama had passed his "peak-Obama" moment. the fact that he's lost the class of voters he'd need in 2012. the fact that the Dems had already lost the voters for the fall 2010 Congressional elections. people are still denying most of that stuff today, but it was obvious to me two years ago that he was done.
