Here's Joe's argument in another form.
A man marries a woman. The husband then cheats on his wife. The wife claims that his cheating doesn't count, what counts is that he married her 30 years ago. Others though will look upon the husband's cheating as a statement about the worth of his marriage.
The opinions voters expressed about Obama in 2012 had an expiry date of 2014. Voters this year had the opportunity to reaffirm their devotion to their messiah and they chose to instead withhold their affirmation. What we see instead is people voting to stop what Obama is doing to them. It's the "What have you done for me lately" model that counts.
I see it a bit differently. A man marries a woman. Right after the wedding he cheats on her, spends all her money and insults her in public. After two years of such treatment the wife wants a divorce. She is told you can't do that. You married him two years ago.
In 2012 America still wanted to believe. obola's mistreatment and malfeasance was given every benefit of the doubt. He got every stretch. Then the public gave up. The public feeling went from fury to apathy. The non voters no longer cared. They stopped defending. His surrogates weren't worth a vote.
