So much for Obama's appeal

Back at the beginning of October, I said:

I've been seeing these for months, so someone must think that there's some sort of positive in having his name on what they're selling. When they think that it's more of a negative than a positive, you won't see these any more.

I'm sure that these ad campaigns are driven by polling numbers (the President remains personally popular, at least so far). But when people who put their money on the line go elsewhere, that will be the canary in the coal mine.
I don't see them anymore. So it looks like the shelf life of his market appeal was around 15 months. It's too soon to label him "toast" - it's a long time until 2012, and the capacity of the Stupid Republican Party to screw up is legend [(cough) John McCain (cough)].

Still, this can't be good for Obama, the Democrats, or the Media (who refused to actually write honestly about him during the campaign).

  1. Kevin over at TSM noted that the numbers of people who don't pay any Federal tax and those that still approve of Obama are now about even at 47%. The only people who support him now are those on the dole in one way or another. His drop has probably gone down as far as it will.

  2. Seems like even the press are souring:

  3. Just another puppet on a string. Don't worry, they will get another one. No shortage of those.
