Will they still think Obama is the messiah?

You bet they will. I don't know what it is, but from those that I know voted for "The Obama" I have heard anything ranging form he is doing an outstanding job, to those who know he is screwing up, defend him and ask "well what is he supposed to do, he is just doing what he thinks is right". Personally, I don't care if a politician is a member of my preferred party or not, but when one screws up, I will be the first to say what I think about it. It's like everyone is afraid to say anything negative about "The Obama".

Of course they won't hold him responsible. They are far too naive to realize what has happened. Obama will always have his ace in the hole; "inherited". Anytime the tough questions are asked, there is an asterik by what he says because he makes sure to point out that he inherited all of this. Well, he's the one that said he could fix it and that everybody else is a fucking moron. He is the one that promised everything would be one big circlejerk by the campfire. He's going to play Americans like a damn fiddle, and its almost depressing to watch.

Maybe they are not getting what they asked for

I started to post that article, I got it in an e-mail, but I was too lazy to go dig it back up. Thanks for posting it. A good read.

That video and some of the quotes from the article pretty much spell it all out.

I just thought about this. From the article:
So she shakes her head in disbelief as she reads the angry messages scrawled on the poster boards in front of her.
"Say NO to Obama and Socialism!"
"OBAMA'NATION."
"Who cares what Obama says? America IS a Christian nation."
Childs puckers her lips and listens as Greenwood residents take turns stepping to the podium and shouting through a megaphone. Their speeches revolve around the same themes Childs hears in her phone messages, except what she identified as the solution to Greenwood's problems is what these speakers now disparage as the cause.
"We all know this president is the major problem," David O. Davis III says. "I've got friends with families who are losing their jobs, getting laid off."
"We're struggling to pay our bills and get by," Cathy Heitzenrater says. "We're feeling disenfranchised from our own country and disappointed about who's running it."
After each speaker finishes, Childs retreats a few steps farther from the crowd. A part of her would like to go grab the bullhorn and tell these people to "keep their mouths shut and give Obama a little time," she says.
I am in the same boat as David O. Davis III from the article. I have seen 6 in the last two months get walked out the door and what 12 fortunate ones get placed on other contracts. Some of the 12 had to take pay cuts, but it pays the bills. I am lucky, all UNIX Admins get to stay until Dec to close the facility down and then move to another contract on the NASA side. I am mad as hell that we had 6 people and close friends at that get walked out the door with a severance package and what unemployment they will get to draw. What Miss Childs doesn't seem to get is that someone like me that works for a defense contractor depends on the Defense Budget for my job. When one of his first actions is to cut $55 Billion in Defense Spending then we are the first ones to go. So yeah I blame "The Obama" for the lack of funds to continue our contract work. People like her want me to "keep my mouth shut and give "The Obama" more time? Fuck that, I have gave him all the time I plan on giving him. She needs to pull her head out of her ass and realize that people like me are middle class as well and that it is people like me that will suffer throughout the reign of our new Socialist overlords.
