If waning support from Independents wasn't enough, Obama now has cause for concern with his liberal backing as even Keith Olbermann is becoming visibly upset. During 'Countdown', Olbermann stated that Obama may not only get re-elected, "he may not even get re-nominated." Before a deal on tax cuts were made, Dan Rather predicted if there were an extension of the Bush tax cuts it would be a "political nightmare" for Obama and said he could face a tough primary challenge in the next election. Liberals immediately scorned Obama for 'selling out to the GOP' after the deal was announced. He called them 'sanctimonious' and claimed he saved America from the GOP "hostage-takers". Not a great game plan for a man with an approval rating now 1 percent lower than George W. Bush and losing support on almost every front imaginable.
