You have to wonder that someone who spends this much time making threads, and attacking people different form themselves, has going on in their life. They probably do not work and have a job but are too preoccupied with attacking others.
Regardless on how you feel about the pollster, you have to still deal with the fact of what he was saying is true. The refuticans have said on more than one occasion that their goal is to make Obama a one term president!
This to me along with the Norquist pledge, proves to me that the republicans have only their own best interest at heart.......screw the people

It was a good thing that the unemployment rate was low BEFORE he took office and the only people that was guaranteed employment was the military. Bush and the "job creators" were doing such a great job people flocked to the republican party for an encore

Amazing, Labor unions support this project, but they are so far up obama's derriere, they hold back their criticism for fear of damaging him.



Well, there was no doubt about that.

The message of the majority of Americans was clear.
Yes, and they are mad look at congress's approval rating....guess who is in charge of that

The majority spoke and the representatives are suppose to listen.
To their wealthy donors

We want Obamas out of control wasteful spending stopped, we demanded that we do not spend more then we take in, we demanded that the policies Obama, Reid and Pelosi put in place be stopped.

..And give it back to it's rightful owners....the wealthy and the war machine

So now you are against what we hired these guys to do?

I'm against what those clowns in the GOP circus is trying to do

The majority did not like the road Obama was taking us and with that being said we the majority removed Obamas back door dealings and shady decisions.

Just wait until Mitt has to pay back all of those "favors" to the people giving him millions to win the nomination. Then the party will really begin!

And we are going to remove him from the WH come November, so get used to it.
...And then we are going to war with Iran, I hope that your grandchildren are ready

No, it's all on the annointed one, now.

Yes, as soon as he got into office many of us were wanting him out. He is a Subversive Communist and worthy of handcuffs.
Here is a question for you, since you have not idea about how the government is suppose to work or a clue about economics. Bush had 8 eight years to screw up the economy with an uncessary war among other things, so how long do you really think that it would take to fix it? Oh one more thing he still has people working towards the same destructive policies and are still in D.C fighting any possible change.

Let me put it this way for you, someone gives you an anchor while you are trying to swim, after awhile you manage to get the anchor out of your hands, but now it is on your feet are you still treading water?

Good thing some of you don't get some of the things you want and there will never be any handcuffs for President Obama.

If buddy Bush did not get any for sending over 5000 of our troops to a war based on a lie, and murdering over 100,000 iraqis.....well no one should go to jail.

And you cannot make progress in alternative energy sources if we continue to act as if Oil, gas, coal, and nuclear power are the only ways.
Progress is not "made", let alone designed to order. we can't arbitrarily "decide" which of her secrets mother Nature is going to give up --- if so, energy would be dirt cheap and we'd all live hundreds of years longer.

Most of the great advances aren't made my either government- or coroporate-directed efforts. Bureaucracy has no interest in "solving" a problem -- that would eliminate the need for bureaucrats. The breakthroughs usually come from one determined individual working alone. And as often as not, the process simply involves re-arranging the technology we already have.

It's a blatant lie to claim "the sun and wind are free" -- somebody has to do both the research and the work to make that power usable, and to maintain the netwotrk that distributes it.

But that point doesn't go over well with the grown-up children at OWS, and the Lefty politicians who pander to them.

Because the inevitable result of a global economy is that the whiners and complainers can no longer count on their politcal flunkies to lock out the trends that are going to force them either to do work that isn't up to their expectations, or learn to live on a lot less.

Nice try, but the Blame Bush shipped has sailed. The economy and environment under Bush wasn't even close to being so horrible that it would take 3+ years of a Dem WH, senate and congress to fix. Not to mention the fact that the recession was over years ago.

Recessions come and go. But Obama has managed to take a routine recession that should have recovered into a depression. Can't blame Bush for that.
