R3v's approval rating for Obama

[e30e]

Here is a break down of the issues:
Stimulus - created jobs, economy is turning around slowly but surely
Iraq - winding down steadily
Afghanistan - troop surge has lead to recent success, clear timetable for pullout has been established
Health Care - 50 million more people will have health care. No more lifetime cap and no more denial for preexisting conditions. Taxes are not being raised and insurance is still 100% private. I think the true test of success will be how much prices are affected.
Bank bailout - Happened under Bush. Stock is now being sold back to private interests.
Auto bailout - Bad assets are being liquidated so the company WILL be healthier and stocks will be healthier. I think stock will be sold back to private interests and the government will make a profit.
Investment in high speed rail, new nuclear power plants and green tech - The one thing government does right is infrastructure.

I don't think he is the greatest president, not even close. But I fail to see how he is soooo terrible. Just like there were tons of blind Obama supporters during the election, there are now tons of blind haters.

Stimulus - Created less than jobs than lost, and cost way more than it ever put back in.
Iraq - Was slowly winding when Bush in power, Obama has done nothing to make it better
Afgan - That place is fucked, there's a reason Russia got there ass kicked and were getting our ass kicked, guerrilla mountain warfare trumps any modern warfare we have.
Health Care - Going to cost me more now and wasted a bunch of congresses time and now we have multiple states suing wasting more time, GREAT JOB OBAMA wasting time and money.
Bank Bailout - Didn't need to happen, capitalism would of taken care of this. Way too expensive.
Auto Bailout - Didn't need to happen, once again capitalism would of taken care of this, sure helps when a democratic president comes to power that got elected off union voters. Once again too expensive.
The government is the most wasteful organization in the world, having them invest in any technology is dumb; private companies should be doing this.

Once again, Obama and his democratic controlled houses have done a TERRIBLE job

Why don't we tax churches? Tell me fuckers like these are "non-profits".



More like non-prophet. LOL

Seriously-tax the shit out of them and China before you come looking for more from me.

Are you serious?

[mightywhitey]

Hell get reelected.

Articulate is as teleprompter does. And, how can change for worse be worth anything as a talking point?

EVERYONE uses teleprompters. The difference is Obama can read his.

Would have lost a lot more jobs had it not happened.

Only time will tell. I'll be first in line voting him out if his policies fail, same with "his" house/senate. The difference is, if they work... I'll commend him, while you will still be complaining about the job he did.

Obama 08 baby!

[Pudmunkie]

Fuck Obama

[HarryPotter]

Fuck Obama

Right cause his middle name is hussain he must be a baddy. In all seriousness though I hate the guy, and not because he's a fake black guy, but because he's killing this country quickly instead of slowly like most of the presidents in the past 20 years. I'm quite skeptical of his birth certificate.

Would have lost a lot more jobs had it not happened.

The whole reason they told us they passed the stimulus bill was to keep the jobless rate below 10%, guess what happened.....the rate passed 10% either way; why the hell did we spend so much money when THEY knew and everyone knew jobless rate would hit 10% no matter what.

This dude is one of two or three presidents recently to have his party control both houses and he and his party HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING DONE that has benefited middle income people or this country.

Here CBS is doing the same thing but with more questions and better poll options. The results are very intersting, says a lot about the silent majority in this country

I think the silent majority has not been paying any attention to the wars, his foreign negotiations, etc. Looks more like they are still in a blinded rage over bailout/healthcare and gave him 'F' across the board. Wouldn't be surprised if 20% of the voters didn't even read the questions.

UMMMMM, Most of the silent majority is WAY pissed off about the routine Apology for America is the the great evil, and everything is all our fault world tours. Pissed off over the botched, gifts to the leaders of foreign countries, The Bowing and general acts of submissive body language to EVERY OTHER world leader he comes in contact with leader. The snubbing of our closest allies at every opportunity, putting the US into unfavorable weak positions with bad Nuke treaties.


Need I continue


The Silent Majority is much more aware of the state of things than you liberals give credit for. Thats the way it always has been and will be

[Wiglaf]

That is being blown out of proportion. I did not approve of Bush's fratboy approach, general disregard for customs and bully attitude. Obama's approach is more diplomatic. It's not like he's totally kissing thier asses, just trying to show a little respect to other world leaders. Just because Rush is pissed that he's not making a skull-cracking session out of all his visits does't make it the majority.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Understands nothing about body language and importance of it in a positions of power. And leader of the free world has the position of greatest power and need to act like it.

Statements like this are the reason the term "Ugly American" was coined. We are not "the leader of the free world." We are the leader of OUR free world. The sooner we stop acting like the leaders of the world the better off we'll be.

Perhaps we should be treating other political leaders more as equals...?

Yeah, guys. Imagine if Hitler was still around. You'd want to shake his hand and bow your head all low like. Maybe even throw a casual, innocent, fist to chest to air salute with him once or twice. So he knows you're totally cool and equals, yo.

Yeah ok, well what nation in the world has been able to match the USA in both economic and military prowess and also holds FREEDOM of the people inside its boarders????

What nation is still atop that list???????

There you see LEADERS of the FREE WORLD, ugly as a term as it may be its the way things are. There is nothing wrong with treating them as equals, but out right submission is far from equal. It puts you in a position of weakness at the negotiation table.

A year ago when BHO went to too meet Medive (sp) Russian prez and start all this nuke reduction shit. Well they had a joint press conference, a day latter ol Vlad comes on the news and cock slaps both of them and says fuck you thats not what we are going to do at all. Would Kennedy, Reagan, either Bush, or even Clinton put up with that????? Fuck no
