Devastating Blaze Video: Progressive Americans Grade President Obama

Jun. 14, 2012 9:26am Benny Johnson

The Blaze’s Billy Hallowell contributed to this piece.

The Honeymoon may very well be over.

Last week, The Blaze covered Netroots Nation, the largest gathering of progressives in the country. In order to take the pulse of the American Left, we asked two simple questions of the attendees and activists there:

1. “What would you like to see from Obama in a second term?”

2. “On a scale of A-F, grade the President’s first term.”

The responses are not to be missed:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

  Last I saw of Alan Grayson was when he was defeated by a margin almost as big as Jimmy Carter on 2Nd term. He was then voted in as clown of the year and went to work for Barnium & Baily.

  Honestly, O is sounding more like that Wisconsin creeper who cries like a baby because the honest people knew that recall was a sham. If Obama keeps whining, we can call him the Wisconsin cry baby…………then we can Blame Bush!

  Folks, we need these stupid people to keep saying they are liberals so we get an understanding what to avoid. Still the blacks tend to avoid reason and gush at Obama’s every word since they love seeing the Sharpton’s, Jackson’s and Obama’s of the world on television toting their agenda. The moron who gave him an A- probably never got an A- in school so the irony is unbelievable. Hold your children tight America and don’t let them associate with this garbage.

  Words of wisdom from the past,
  The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers
  that it can bribe the public with their own money.”
  — Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 – 1859)
  
  There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation.
  One is by sword. The other is by debt.”
  -– John Adams
  
  “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot
  exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will
  continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they
  can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
  From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
  candidates who promise the most benefits from the public
  treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
  collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed
  by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest
  civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about
  200 years.”
  — Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor 1787
  
  I place the economy among the first and most important
  virtues… and public debt as the great danger to be feared.
  To preserve your independence, we must not let our leaders
  load us with perpetual debt. We must make our choice between
  economy and liberty… or profusion and servitude.”
  — Thomas Jefferson

  Tired of the BLAME Bush thing. I’ve come to the conclusion with all the debt O put us in, all the trillions he’s spend on losing ventures (our money) that it’s time we start BLAMING OBAMA. Then Romney can say “he inherited this mess from Obama.” It will happen.
  
  From now on, I’ll say “Blame Obama” every time he starts with the “inherited this mess” as we all know. if you have a pea brain, you stop spending on losing projects, and start trying to get business to hire by cutting taxes and remove the Obamacare threat so private business will hire. We have too many government workers. Just look around and see what many of these people really do, most got cake and eat it too. Unions right behind them with waste.

  If Soros wanted to sour conservatives on Romney, what would he say?
  
  Soros is smart. He knows his audience. He would say Romney and Obama are the same. If he really wanted to go nuclear, he would endorse Romney. He knows that his endorsement, or even equivalence of Romney with 0, would be poison for the gullible.

  This could be the last free election in this country in my lifetime. At least, that is what will be on my mind that day, and I will gratefully exercise my “last” vote to vote AGAINST King Zero. If you do not vote against him, he returns.
  
  At least with Romney, I have a 50/50 shot that he will surround himself with sound constitutional conservatives and policy thinkers. He has a free-market “message” that I pray he will stick to. O-Zero condemns wholeheartedly free-market enterprise. In fact, he condemns absolutely 100% of every value and principal I believe in. That has to be a miracle. Has there ever been a president in my lifetime that represents 100% of everything I abhor? When has there ever been a clearer Choice?…
  
  I pray 2010 was only the beginning. I pray we make landslide gains in both houses with constitutional conservatives who will then be able to provide Romney the muscle and fortitude he needs to make the drastic, Urgent changes that need to be made. This is an Emergency people. Our country is in the 11th hour. There has never been a more Urgent election. We must vote Against the Evil that is presently Occupying, BEFORE we can vote FOR the Urgent Changes that need to be made. Please vote to STOP the hemorrhage. THEN, work your butt off to your last breath, give yourself and your circle no rest until we Restore this country, by the Grace of the Almighty Creator.

It would take hundreds of years for the types in the video to every get there because they are only fueled by their own selfish desires.
