What baffles me is that he still has a 45% approval rating, how is that even possible? That he has anything higher than 20% is mindblowing. I will truly weep for humanity if he gets re elected.

Another member just posted an updated poll in the election forum and Romney is ahead of Obama now.

I think we will see Obamas numbers continue to drop as the debates really get started. Obama is a facade and his lies can no longer sustain him....neither can blaming Bush. The economy and the beyond dismal state of our country speaks loudly for itself. He cannot deny his disastrous leadership. Although he will try his best and he will, sadly, still find some idiots to still follow him. There is always a poor, dumb, bas*ard to be found. And his campaign will be looking hard.

Desperation is this (yet another) silly attempt to make an issue of a nonissue and blame it on the president. But go ahead and enjoy the phony outrage.

So, according to you, the President cannot/should not be blamed for his own errors and failed policies?

Just who do you say should be blamed? Hint: the "he inherited it" argument has worn exceptionally thin after three years. It is more like he caused it or has done nothing to change it.

The editorial, not news, but editorial, notes both that the money used at the convention had been set at this level during W's administration. Thus, conventions of this type would have happened all the way to the Bush administration. Should you be mad at this instance, then you should be pissed off at previous administrations, no?

Thus, the Bush administration gets the blame for letting it get this bad and for having the GSA have lavish conferences and nobody catching that they were over spending. The Obama administration gets the blame for not catching that they were overspending. Both get blame, but the increase occurred under the former, so they should get a little more.

There are few cardinal sins in politics, so you're being a little dramatic here. You're also ignoring that yes, both administrations get blame for this issue.

There are plenty of people who are intelligent enough to realize that either he or McCain were going to be handed an absolute mess. Largely, those who complain about him want to do so in order to avoid admitting something rather difficult to themselves. They put a group of Republicans into power in the 2000's. They had full control of the country for 6/8 years before Obama and were able to do whatever they wanted. The end result wasn't the dream of the Freshman Class from the 90's, but the result was people more worried about Terry Schiavo than the deficit. The end result was almost a full economic collapse. Most people who whine about Obama are doing so in order to avoid the realization that their own person beliefs caused this mess.

It's sort of pathetic that these people used to shout the mantra of personal responsibility, but are unable to take any responsibility.

Did the spending increase under the Bush administration? Yes? Then it's their fault as well. That's not sad and disgusting. That's rather factual isn't it? It's either true or not true. Put away the emotion and debate logically here. We're adults, not school children.

Who blamed Zerobama? Please quote the post(s).

Thanks

BTW: Nobody needs to manufacture anything to discredit the worst POTUS of all time. His record speaks for itself.

If by his record you blame him for the state of the economy when he took over then sure. If you think rationally, then probably not. Feel free to outline what, other than health reform, McCain would have done differently. Also, who was in control of the house, senate and Presidency for 6/8 years leading up to the collapse of the economy.

It's a political forum here. You need to back up your ideas with something or people like me are going to call you on it.
