President Barack Obama seems to be not as popular and in some parts of the country. Enough that a man in prison in Texas is getting 4 out of 10 votes in West Virginia’s Democratic presidential primary. The inmate, Keith Judd, is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Judd was able to get on the state ballot by paying a $2,500 fee and filing a form known as a notarized certification of announcement, said Jake Glance, a spokesman for the Secretary of State’s office. Voters in other conservative states showed their displeasure with Obama in Democratic primaries last March.
In Oklahoma, anti-abortion protester Randall Terry got 18 percent of the primary vote. A lawyer from Tennessee, John Wolfe, pulled nearly 18,000 votes in the Louisiana primary. In Alabama, 18 percent of Democratic voters chose “uncommitted” in the primary rather than vote for Obama. In Tuesday’s North Carolina primary, 21 percent of Democratic voters marked “no preference.”
TF was able to ask the President a question during a press conference.
TF: Mr. President, It seems like a lot of Democrats don’t like you and are voting for anyone but you.
President: What are you talking about? Everyone likes me. I’ve got this hope and change slogan. The economy sucks but I can spin that to my advantage and blame it on the Republicans. I got rid of Osama Bin Laden, didn’t I? I passed a health care plan. People like it so much they call it Obama care. I’ve….
TF: Mr. President, Mr. President. Let me remind you that people realize that Obama care is going to drive up the national debt and impact businesses Calling the health care program Obama Care is a slam on your plan.
TF: Let me finish my original question. At guy in prison got about 40% of the vote in West Virginia. In Oklahoma, a candidate got 18 percent of the primary vote. In Alabama, 18 percent of Democratic voters chose “uncommitted” in the primary rather than vote for you. In North Carolina primary, 21 percent of Democratic voters marked “no preference. This doesn’t sound god for you.
President: You know, I’ve spent millions of dollars on this campaign. That should make people want to vote for me. What did they spend?
TF: Not much really. Probably only the filing fee of $2,500 to get on the ballot. I don’t even know if they did any campaigning. And the fact that people would vote for “no preference” or “uncommitted” really shows their displeasure with you.
President: (Heavy sigh).
TF: M. President, I don’t’ think people like you. They are getting tired of all your promises and the hope and changes you promised – well, they just didn’t happen. I think you just made things worse. On the plus side, if you had passed everything you promised, we would really be in deep shit.
President: (Heavy sigh). I guess that’s some good news that I didn’t make things as bad as I could have. Next question and whoever asks the next question better ask a question that is more upbeat.
