NYT Shocked, SHOCKED To Find Voter Anger At Obama In Weiner’s Heavily Democratic District…

Doesn’t exactly bode well for Obama’s reelection chances if Dems are having problems in a district with three times the number of registered Democrats.

(NY Times) — Of all the places to hear fulminations against President Obama, one of the least expected is the corner of 71st Avenue and Queens Boulevard, in the heart of a Congressional district that propelled Democrats like Geraldine A. Ferraro, Charles E. Schumer andAnthony D. Weiner to Washington.

But it was there that Dale Weiss, a 64-year-old Democrat, approached the Republican running for Congress in a special election and, without provocation, blasted the president for failing to tame runaway federal spending. “We need to cut Medicaid,” she declared, “but he won’t do that.” She shook her head in disgust. “He is a moron.”

After nodding approvingly for a time, the Republican candidate, Bob Turner, signaled for an assistant to cut off Ms. Weiss. Frustration with Mr. Obama is so widespread, he explained later, that he tries to limit such rants to about 30 seconds, or else they will consume most of his day. . . .

The race was widely viewed as a sleepy sideshow — a mere formality that would put David I. Weprin, a Democratic state assemblyman and heir to a Queens political dynasty, into a seat known for its deep blue hue.

Instead, the race has become something far more unsettling to Democrats: a referendum on the president and his party that is highlighting the surprisingly raw emotions of the electorate.

    Old McDonald is following the Pied Piper Obumbler, and he’s leading all the demo-rats over the cliff.

    “Suprisingly” raw emotions of the electorate? The only ones suprised are the MSM, who seems to have been comatose for the last 2+ years. Does this mean they are regaining consciousness?
    SUPRISE!!!!

    The Media, regardless of which, from MSNBC to FNC, just doesn’t get it.
    They can’t understand how We the People of this country are pissed off at Congress in general.
    They lie and make up stories about how the TEA Party is fading, but they haven’t got a clue that it is growing.
    Congress and the Media are on their way out, along with Hussein.

    Obama and his ilk are murdering the Democrats. He is finally revealing their true intentions. Democrats are anti-American.

    Don’t you think even really stupid people know that Obama’s ratings aren’t down because they are fed up with Congress? When was the last time Obama said anything that had any relationship to reality?

    Don’t be too hasty to give credit to to Kool-aid drinkers for finally seeing the light, a couple months of attack ads and they’ll be right back in formation.

    If you’re pissed at Democrats, it’s because you’re incapable of controlling your “raw emotions”, don’tcha know…

  16. Katherine says:

    Can this mean that the Kool-aid has an expiration date? Or is the desperation of the media leaking through? Or perhaps the survival mode has kicked in….

    These are not hardened core democrats. The hard core know Obama is delivering what he promised. These are soft democrats. They are the “useful idiots.” They’ll never vote republican no matter how disallusioned they become because they’ve been taught to hate so deeply.
