You nailed it-MaM.

I mean, stating "our goal is to make Obama a one-term president" isn't exactly the 'best opportunity', now, is it? What does that say about the character of the republican party that they would rather cripple the country than give an inch (and for nothing, in the long run)?
Mama also said, if you wet the bed your going to sleep in it

He's brought it on himself, but it's not his fault as usual


He appointed Carol Browner, a well-known socialist as Global
Warming Czar working on Cap and Trade as the nation’s largest tax.

He appointed Van Jones, an ex-con and avowed Communist as Green
Energy Czar, who since had to resign when this was made known.

Tom Daschle, Obama's pick for Health and Human Services Secretary
could not be confirmed because he was a tax cheat.

As President of the United States, he bowed to the King of Saudi
Arabia.

He's traveled around the world criticizing America and never once
talking of her greatness.

His actions concerning the Middle East seemed to support the
Palestinians over Israel, our longtime ally.

He took American tax dollars to resettle thousands of Palestinians
from Gaza to the United States.

He upset the Europeans by removing plans for missile defense system
against the Russians.

He played politics in Afghanistan by not sending troops early-on
when the Field Commanders said they were necessary to win.

He's spending us into a debt that is so big we could not pay
it off.

He took a huge spending bill under the guise of stimulus and used
it to pay off organizations, unions, and individuals that got him elected.


(Yes, Virginia, you ARE judged by the company you keep, just like mama always said.)

Is it just me, or do others think it's remarkably silly to ask one group of people what another group of people think of President Obama? It's a factual question, don't you see?

Maybe. Maybe not.

The poll would make sense if it was taken from people living outside of US.

Cameron and Boris Johnson, mayor of London, and other British officials were NOT impressed, and breathed a sigh of relief when Obama won reelection.
Yes, better to elect a communist to the presidency than to hear a brilliant businessman tell you the truth about your failed Olympics...

Worrying about what "most Americans" think is a waste of time.
Spoken like a true Obamabot.

He did sincerely, but do not remember when that was. And it is important that someone when they say something to the world, keeps to his word, or don't say anything or promise anything at all.

I think a Man's word is his reputation and how one views this person.
