A unique move by Obama mobilizing the public against his opponents via social networking. Whether it proves successful or not, it shows a breath of fresh air in democracy, the people may not get at politicians in congress but can get at them on Twitter. Obama is a man worthy of respect.

Obama is in a precarious position definately, but a recent poll showed most Americans favoured a mix of cuts and increases, and that they blamed the republicans more than Obama. What this shows is the amount of Americans fed up with the neoliberal agenda of the republicans and the effect it has had on their economy. At first they probably did suspect Obama but now I think they realise he is more Roosevelt than Stalin and he just wants a fairer society and more sustainable economy.

Obama was losing thousands of followers last night because of his excessive tweeting. It wasn’t good publicity or campaigning at all. Those who would always have voted Obama still love him but the all important swing voter is just seeing too many tweets and is just ignoring most of them, even unfollowing Obama.

His approval rating has hit the floor because people have realised how much he has pushed the US near default. He’s right to blame Republicans who are refusing to budge on certain issues but Obama is the root cause. We wouldn’t be having this discussion if he had started reiginig in spending when he took power 2.5 years ago!

If ever there was a sign that he’s lost all political power, this is it right here. “Tweet your rep!” he says. He might as well be a judge on the x-factor.

What comes to mind is an image of a man with a rope that is hanging from a hook attached to the ceiling with the other end tied around his neck. If the distance between the floor and the ceiling gets any further apart the man will surely be hanged.
