In fairness Barry is facing a really tough financial situation which would take a while to get out of with perfect decisions. However his priorities just seem mixed up to me - why push a strict carbon emissions bill NOW when everyone (including Barry a few months back) admits it will cost jobs in the short term? Why not focus on making the first stimulus work for now?
Because he's an irrational idealogue. Tune-in, drop-out and kill your parents.
Repeat after me... the only approval rating that matters is when he completes his first term. There have been only two full term presidents who have managed to stay above 40% approval rating over last several decades during their term.
Apparently Obama supporters are more critical than Bush supporters, what a shock.
And I would agree with Curmudgeon, the level of scrutiny that exists now over say, the level from 20 or 30 years ago is much higher (which is fantastic).
I agree. It's an awesome thing to be able to scrutinize politicians every step of the way. It seem's we're finding more and more that such scrutiny actually makes a difference (althought that's hard to quantify).

I think you can view it from "what seemed okay x years ago seems dumb now" and from the perspective of what would and wouldn't fly. Some of these are good things and some are bad things.
As an example Kennedy was a walking sex scandal but it didn't really effect his ability to do anything, whereas Clinton was impeached.
Something like Vietnam really wouldn't happen in this day and age and even if it did it would screw the party over hard. The Iraq war was the first time there were protests before we attacked a country, that was unimaginable 30 years ago.
I'm not sure if this is a reflection of our culture, the media, or both; but there is definitely progress there.
next election when Ass-corn will be trying with all there might to Keep their beloved Obama in office the voter fraud here will make Iranian elections look like the most honest elections in history.

Because he does not put this Country before advancing his ideology. He is not a patriot by any stretch of the imagination. How often does he end a speech by saying "God Bless America" although he said it often enough when he was campaigning. His programs are designed to do what the radical progressives like him want to do..to destroy our economy and rebuild it as a socialist society. There is a method to the madness. Remember his associations. ACORN, Soros, etc. Nothing coincidental about that.
