Obama In Trouble With Fellow Democrats As Inmate Scores Almost As Many Votes As He Does

Barack Obama: oh snap!

The next story is a real dozy and one that should alarm President Barack Obama. According to ABC News, in the southern state of West Virginia, "More than 40 percent of Democrats voting chose to cast their ballot for Keith Russell Judd, an inmate at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Beaumont, Texas, where he’s doing time for extortion and threats made at the University of New Mexico in 1999."

The article goes on to state, "Judd scored 42.28 percent of the vote — or 49,490 votes — compared with President Obama with 57.72 percent, or 67,562, according to unofficial state results."

What did Judd do to get on the ballot, you ask? According to the Associated Press, he paid the "$2,500 fee" and filed "a form known as a notarized certification of announcement."

You just can't make stuff like this up. However, President Obama is probably wishing you could, because it reveals his popularity has plummeted to the point that even an inmate and one with a mullet might I add, received that many votes against him in a primary.

What will this mean for Obama in the November presidential elections. Is the predicted landslide loss on the way (rhetorical). What happens when Obama has to run against the presumed Republican nominee for president, Mitt Romney, who is the former Governor of Massachusetts and a wealthy businessman, with um, no criminal record.

Obama should have reduced the deficit and raised taxes on the rich, this would have created surpluses and more money to create jobs and pay for education, among other things. Then he wouldn't be in this predicament now, with six months to go until the next election and a bad economy to show for it. The Judiciary Report kept harping on these things for a reason from the moment Obama took office. The continued deteriorated state of the economy proves why.

Side Bar: I would cry if someone with a mullet, mohawk or frohawk (afro mohawk) nearly beat me in a political race. Life just wouldn't seem fair (LOL).
