" Are there any Obama supporters left out there? " Not all have abandoned him.....there are still some die hard supporters.....but I suspect those supporters are not interested in his actual performance but they like him for other reasons...... his disapproval rating is hovering around 79%.....
You are absolutely correct.... in the dictionary beside the word "incompetent" they have his picture..... He had absolutely no experience that relates to the job he won.....largely he won on his a glib tongue and winning smile...... I think he is probably a mediocre leader.... sometimes he lets the "tail wag the dog".... but he is not afraid to lead.....he is just leading in the wrong direction......
He is using the same policies and economic advice that kept us in the Great Depression ten years longer than necessary (USC Study)..... It failed then and it is failing now
People say he has kept many of his promises.....that does not comfort me much .....as most of his promises were bad anyway.....his closing of GITMO was a bad promise he failed to keep....his attempt to try detainees in a civilian court was a disastrous failure.....the case that should have been a slam dunk.....fizzled..... He promised to solve unemployment then personally caused 9 thousand people in Florida alone to be unemployed.....he destroyed the sport hunting and fishing industry and made is almost impossibly for states to manage their wildlife.....
Most of this I do not really get to worked up about....but what scares me is his incompetence could very well destroy America economically....drive us straight into national bankruptcy... THAT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME

I'm proud that he tried to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
I'm proud that he tried to provide universal healthcare (as a handful of countries have done, all of which have higher life expectancies than the US).
Other than that, I'm not a huge fan of him.
As for experience, you think Sarah Palin (who has announced she would like to run in 2012) is remotely as qualified as Obama? She quit her job halfway through and cited it was because she was gridlocked in legislature.

Anyone CLAIMING to be an Obama supporter needs to shut up and stop embarrassing themselves.
Seriously...
Since announcing his CANDIDACY for President, Obama has shifted his position multiple times.
Since becoming President, he has given up all his campaign promises and adopted all of Bush's policies (good for Conservatives but shows how Obama is NOT what he campaigned as).
Since the mid-term election, he's continued to abandon what he "believed in" and continues to morph into "new Bush".
There is NO WAY an intelligent person can claim they support Obama, because Obama has CHANGED what he "stands for" so many times. That's not "political rhetoric"... that's honest observations.
