And after a long hard struggle we've managed to get a black man into the Presidency. Imagine that! We never thought we'd live to see it, did we? And yet, here we are and there he is. It's a tremendous achievement. We managed to convince the country to try it out with a president who isn't a white male, and we should all feel proud of ourselves!
But will it open doors, or slam them shut? Obama can't be president forever.(There's that damned 22nd Amendment, and there's no way we're going to get it repealed in time.) Once it's over, when the voting public looks back on it, will they think it was a success? The next time someone who isn't a white male runs for President, will people say, "Yes, maybe she'll be another Obama!"or will they say, "Hell no! She might be another Obama!"

You have to remember, the rank and file liberal is NOT motivated by a cause or by an agenda. They voted for Obama because it made THEM FEEL GOOD - MADE THEM FEEL SUPERIOR to vote for a Black Man. That was the goal and motivation. They are like the kids you knew in High School desperately adopting each new fad, always wanting to be included in the "Kewl Crowd." Liberals are emotionally and mentally stunted - and if Obama's time as a Fad has ended, if these degenerate morons no longer feel that supporting him is cool, they will not only drop him, but pretend they never really liked him.
Sure there are the second order liberals - the Cheaters , leaders of the suckers , the crowd the masses emulate and with whom they would die to be seen; the to social clique in the high school with the prom King and Queen. Even those people are NOT fighting for the cause - they are fighting to be that top clique. The people everyone else looks up to. Socialism and its polices are a means to that end - to Power - they tell lies to the suckers to gain their admiration, to appear "cool" - and there is always some group ready to supplant the former. The rivalry between the Obamas and the Clintons is a perfect example.
All Liberal are ego-driven. They want certain policies to be enacted not because they believe in those polices, but because they believe that those policies make them good people to be admired. That is why liberals never monitor thier policies to see if they get the intended results. The results are irrelevant - they already got what they wanted - the ability to pat themselves on the back . I elected a Black Man!
This second part of the calculus, this question of "will it open doors, or slam them shut" , never enters their heads. They simply don't care. Its axiomatic they did the right thing. If something bad happens that makes whatever they supported uncool, then they lie, and claim they never supported that- and that is assuming they make the connection between the bad policy and the bad result - which seldom happens. The rank and file is not going to understand that voting for a President based on the color of his skin was a bad policy, which led to the worst, most anti-american and divisive Presidency in history. If there is the hoped for preference cascade, they will understand is Obama is not popular anymore, and being associated with him, emulating him, or expressing an affection for him is no longer any cooler than platform shoes with Goldfish in them ( and if those are coming back, please don't inform me)
Do not assume Liberals support anything because of principles, idealism, or personal standards - it is all, every little bit, ego and lust for power and admiration. The Media were told plainly by the Prom King and Queen that they will never be cool enough to be in their circle- and the Media thinks they are owed for all they have done for their majesties. They will bring these two down for spite, and help out the up-and-coming top clique (possibly the Clinton's again)
Trust me - all you need to know about liberals you learned by watching your peers in high school.
