There of course may be more than one reason, but regardless of your political beliefs why do you think most people who support Obama would vote for him.

A few will choose Obama over Romney because Obama is considered more "likable" than Romney, and Americans really want that in a president. But honestly: anyone who votes for Obama because of his Foreign Policy, his Social Positions, his Economic Policy, or any other specific policies is almost certainly a democrat or a liberal-leaning independent, so they would be likely to vote for Mr. Magoo if he were the democratic candidate.
Note: I'm not making fun of liberals or democrats here. The same would be true if the parties were reversed. It is a very rare president who draws large numbers of voters from the other party.
...and they are racist bastards.
bama apologized to other countries for us. bama thinks we can't make anything of ourselves by ourselves, we must have government help.
he got the peace prize for what he MIGHT do.
I cannot abide by him being my president. I want him voted out.
As another poster wrote ... Just on what freedoms we have lost ...
We now have Limited Free speech zones:
Freedom of the press - Attacked and practically non-existent.
Criticize a president while he is popular and the media will demand for your arrest.
Freedom of religion - Attacked.
Some schools now prohibit religious references in work done by children.
Assembly - Its much harder to protest these days with permits (its illegal to require a permit to exercise a right under common law) DHS crackdowns and so on. Not to mention Obama recently signed into law greater restrictions on protesting government buildings on top of the older restrictions.
Right to bare arms - Under attack. No need to explain why.
4th Amendment - Gone. NDAA and Patriot act both allow for secret arrests. On top of that courts constantly expand the meaning of exigent circumstances to include even flushing a toilet, or even ignoring the 4th Amendment all together. We also have the issue with the government forcing you to sign away your rights just to function in society (for example, sign away your rights to drive a car).

Due process -gone. Most people still get it, but its on the books that the government can ignore it with the NDAA and Patriot Act ... The president now allows any American he wants can be incarcerated or even killed without due process.
Sixth Amendment - Trial By Jury was destroyed by "family" (actually eugenics) courts. Any child can be taken away from any parent without a jury. That was before the NDAA and Patriot act. The rest is also dead since said laws allow the bypassing of public trials and such.
Seventh Amendment - Do you get a jury trial if more than $20 is in dispute? If not, this amendment is dead.
Eighth - dead. The word "torture" explains it all.
Ninth - No one ever seems to care for this one.
Tenth - Dead. This one would take forever to explain every single way its been violated.Just simply put, when the government does anything its not authorized to do by the constitution, its illegal. That means virtually every single federal law is illegal, but they dont care.
And that's just the bill of rights, and not even all the rights, like the right to choose your own medicine and food ...
"The big employment story under Obama has been the shrinking of the labor force — the number of men and women who decide to not work, and also to not “not work”, but rather simply drop out of working or looking altogether. The disappearance of these citizens from the roll of the productive, or potentially productive, is encouraged by the Obama administration’s simmering rebuke of successful people who achieve financial, professional, or social distinction by their own, rather than the government’s, exertions.
This 36% increase in using Google to find respite from work is telling. While we’ve certainly become 36% more enfeebled, it is in the moral, not the physical, sense. If cash and comfort are available without effort, it sure beats working.
The trend towards entitlement, and away from empowerment, suits the pro-government press and the pro-government elected officials just fine. After all, it gives them more dependents, and a more dependable clientele, for their accumulation of political power."

Of course, food stamps is also way up under the spending machine. Vote for me and I will transfer wealth you. Marxism doesn't work!
The Obama Record: May's weak jobs report further confirms the president's policies are failing to help the economy. This is, indeed, the worst recovery since the Depression.
• The share of Americans who've been out of work a long time — now at 42% of the unemployed — is the highest since the Great Depression (source: Labor Department).
• The proportion of the civilian working-age population actually working, at 58%, is the smallest since the Carter era (Labor Department).
• Growth in nonfarm payroll jobs since the recovery began in June 2009 is the slowest of any comparable recovery since World War II (Hoover Institution).
• The rate of new business startups — the engine of job growth — has plunged to an all-time low of 7.87% of all businesses (Census Bureau).
• 3 in 10 young adults can't find jobs and live with their parents, highest since the 1950s (Pew Research).
• 54% of bachelor's degree-holders under the age of 25 are jobless or underemployed, the highest share in decades (Northeastern University).
• Black teen unemployment, now at 37%, is near Depression-era highs (Labor Department).
• Almost 1 in 6 Americans are now p...

• The number of Americans on food stamps — 45 million recipients, or 1 in 7 residents — also is the highest on record (Congressional Budget Office).
