Well, that's the way it always starts, right? First, he's swatting flies, next he'll be dining on roast puppy l'orange.

They are better if you BBQ them. And it requires the correct BBQ sauce.

Nothing more than the incessant whining of Republicans swaying some Americans that are already concerned and paranoid. And they're doing it for their own petty gains. It's sickening.

Republicans. Real Americans putting country first.

Yeah, I'm suuure that's what it is. So far this jackass has taken over the banks, auto industry, given acorn 5 BILLION tax payer dollars and is now on his way to socializing health care. And that's justa very short laundry list of the Obammusists "achievements". But yeah, it's just scare mongering among republicans that has America worried.

this is the reason why Obama still has high approval ratings, people maybe have some issues with his policies, but what is the alternative? Lunatics like this guy who has infested the republican party?

Obama is laughing all the way to the next election, these idiots have no discipline, foaming at the mouth at whatever Obama does.

Yes, damn those evil, greedy rich bastards for investing money into their businesses and providing jobs. I would much rather earn my wealth from a job created by a poor person!

 
Bocanegra 2009-06-20 03:05:27 PM  
It probably has something to do with the minimal to negligible effects of the stimulus bill, the amount of increased debt Americans will have to pay as a result of said stimulus, the upholding of the Patriot Act, States Secrets Privelege, continuing wiretapping, rising unemployment and the general lack of any significant "change" that has occured since his inauguration.

But yeah, go ahead and blame the Republicans.

Things started getting bad when Democrats took the majority, so 2 years.

I can find much wrong with the Democrats. That's silly. Obama however is doing quite well, considering. His poll numbers on foreign affairs is in the mid 60s. It's the economy/job situation that is brining those numbers down and you can't pin this recession on him. Yet.

Talk to me in 4 years and if things aren't getting better I'll happily admit to him being a major reason behind it. Cause it would be the truth and I have no problem criticize him if he deserves it.

To paraphrase a Clinton-era mantra, it really might have been the economy, stupid. More than 80 percent of voters in an exit poll, conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Media Research/Mitofsky International, said the economy was a very important or extremely important issue.

That percentage was the highest for any issue, including Iraq and terrorism.

 
Bocanegra 2009-06-20 03:32:12 PM  
Lorelle: Oh, please...you expect Obama to undo 8 years of Bushiat in just 6 months??

Oh please? Well, I certainly wouldn't expect him to re-affirm the Patriot Act, continue States Secrets Privelege and warrantless wiretapping.

Exclusive from Bush, I would expect his stimulus bill to work and decrease unemployment like he said it would. It's not. I blame him for that, not Bush.

 
Bocanegra 2009-06-20 03:36:08 PM  
It may also have something to do with not really accomplishing anything in 5 months. With a Democratic party majority in the House and Senate, it is somewhat astonishing that so little has been achieved. People voted for change and they're not getting it. They're just getting more of the same.

I like this argument. Especially when it's contrasted with the "Obama and the Democrat [sic] Congress are tirelessly working to destroy America" argument, which is due to make an appearance in this thread...any...moment...now.

Have you not been paying attention these last nine months? Those gains were built on bullshiat and fairy dust.

But could he punch a white baby? I'm not so sure.

 
Bocanegra 2009-06-20 05:00:36 PM  
This decrease has everything to do with the fact that, aside from the stimulus bill (which by Joe Biden's estimation has "failed"), very little action has occured in regard to, well, anything. And I know people often say "give the guy a break, he's only had a few months". But really, name something substantial he's done in the past 3 months. If he's had so much to do, he should have at least accomplished 1 legitimate thing by now.

People do not like to see inaction. And so far, that's all Obama has been. All talk and no action.

Obama's personal approval rating is pretty high


His policy ratings are not good at all.
