"Losing Your Fan Base?"

I'm a Bears fan, and have been one for over fifty years. Sometimes it is difficult to be a Bears fan; hopefully this year it will be easy to be a Bears fan. I saw them win in 1963; back then, it was the NFL Championship; the Super Bowl hadn't been invented yet. I saw them win in 1985; I don't think I've ever been prouder of the Bears as they crushed the league to powder under their famous "46 Defense". Between those years, I sat through many seasons of misery, frustration and disappointment; any real Bears fan will attest to this. One thing about us lovers of the "Monsters of the Midway" is that we are loyal; even as we have endured many hours of less than stellar play we remain loyal. During the 1985 Super Bowl run, I found many people who cheered wildly for my Bears and that was great, except a few years later those same people couldn't name a single player from the teams that were less than successful. Some folks only stick around when a team wins, and they abandon them when that team is faltering. I sat at Soldier Field, in the rain, when the Bears won a single game against the New Orleans Saints; the only victory of the season. I'M A FAN! I don't think I'll ever lose my dedication to the Chicago Bears.

Today, Associated Press posted an article from Mercury News saying that a poll recently taken in California stated President Barack Obama's support has fallen below 49% of registered voters. His job approval rating has dropped to 46%.

California is a hot-bed of liberalism, always stalwart supporters of the agenda of the left. This is the major cheering section of Barack Obama and his progressive policies. It may be possible that Californians are finally waking up to the fact that endless entitlements, stagnant employment numbers and no clue of how to remedy any of this will be found under Barack Obama. Hollywood believes Mr. Obama can do no wrong; but it may be possible Mr. Average American believes something different. The Obama administration hasn't scored any touchdowns with the voters in regards to his economic policies. His claim to fame, "Obama-care", is losing its luster under the burden of enormous debt and unemployment numbers that are not falling. His latest so-called "cure for unemployment" is just warmed over policies from the beginning of his term in office that has yet to produce fruit.

Mr. President, your "die-hard fans" are turning in their jerseys and thinking about supporting the "other team". There are 14 months until a new "season" starts, and the fans are thinking about a new "team captain" and it may not be Barack Obama calling the plays in 2014!
