Pressure and bribes got her vote though.
She may know think she was mistaken and should have stuck to her first instincts.
Or she wants another bribe.

Leftists are all criminals.

This is not a country divided its a country in near chaos.
Agree 100%


Hey all you boneheads still cheering for the Red Team/Blue Team. The majority of Americans woke up and realize both the Dems and the Repubs are one of the same. Obama is no different than Bush except Obama tends to lie more and seems a little arrogant.

I was a diehard Red Team player until around 2008. I would defend the Republicans no matter what. After I saw what the Democrats were doing after they came to power, basically the same policies as what the Republicans had except different players I started to question many things that were taking place as far as our governments actions. It was very easy to see the lies and corruption if you turned off the TV and started reading some unbiased material.

Now I feel sorry for people who still cheer on their team no matter what. All I can think is they are either brainwashed, like I was once, or just plain stupid.

Since I don't think he was really re elected, stop calling the american people idiots. I have my doubts he was even elected the first time and wouldn't have been had he been fully vetted.
But he is a clueless lying dolt of an empty suit, that's for sure.

Obama has a floor of about 35% or so. I don't expect it to get much lower than that.

Were I a Rep, I would not be gloating over Obama's number so much after seeing that.
Republicans are not known for their ability to deal in reality.

G.W. Bush never forced U.S. citizens to buy government-run health insurance. That is a big plus for him.

Total Positive 22%
Total Negative 53%
Net -31%





5

Take that "Net - 31%" under GOP which comprise of Democrat lights under the "R" name and add it to the Dems = -34%

Yeah, but it doesn't matter. Most reps are in safe seats, so all they care about it what their voters care about. On the other hand, as his credibility goes out the window the president is dragging down the entire Democratic party.
