Why do you say Ras is a terrible pollster? Is it because you don't like what their poll shows.

I noticed you had no comment about the AP poll? Why is that?

One poll asked a majority of dems over repubs. What did you expect the poll to show?

Bottom line, never believe ANY poll.

I seriously doubt that the majority of americans prefer another term of a huge govt spending bill, mandatory healthcare govt bill, TSA, and a entering a third war.

By the way, wasn't Obama's slogan "Change" last election? He's done nothing but maintain the status quo. He said he was going to bring the troops home from Iraq, he hasn't. We got Bin Laden...why are there still troops in Afghanistan? He disagreed with Bush's foreign policy and wanted to use diplomacy...why are we bombing Libya?

He's a liar, he's a phony, and he doesn't know what he's talking about, let alone doing. He's the biggest joke of a president ever, he's not even good at justifying his actions. At least Bush, as dumb as he is, concocted lies about WMD's to justify his decisions.

Put Obama one on one with Ron Paul and we'll see the true colors in Obama's red face as he gets embarrased on national TV.

Yeah, Obama is way up in the polls. I predict he gets back in easy in 2012. But no matter which was you slice it, this country is washed up, its best days are behind it. National debt will be 20-22 TRILLION by 2016, that fact alone is enough to sink this once fine country......I don't even have to include the massive deficits SS (SS is already **** up) and Medicare will run.

I think he will hit 110% with that poll.

He is so great the waters are going to rise and the sun might come up tomorrow.

All those homeless people he has created, all those homes he forgot to save and all those record bankruptcies on his watch are all going to just disappear before our eyes.

All those 9 million who have lost their jobs are going to have jobs tomorrow.

Yup, he is going over 110% soon he is that great.

I'd say he pays attention to the Joint Chiefs, Pentagon and intelligence community, much as he did when going after bin Laden.
