Clue: the right has no one that can beat the President in his bid for another four years, so get used to the idea of President Obama until 2016. Enjoy

Ok, this actually made me laugh because the left won't even HAVE a candidate in 2016 since Obama is pretty moderate. I know the far right screams socialism and that's good enough for the sheep voters on the left to convince them despite the actual evidence.

Wall Streeters in powerful govt. positions?
Health Care companies writing the Obamacare bill?
Guantanamo? Iraq? Afghanistan?
High gas prices, Oil companies making big profits.
Economy struggling, unemployment high, big deficits.

Barack Bush III, and you guys think he's an awesome major change from Bush II. Yeah, he has a D at the end of his name and that's all it takes when people don't think.

Quite frankly, if the right weren't equally stupid they'd be cheering Obama on. The guy is continuing Bush II's legacy without liberal opposition. It's like when Clinton pushed NAFTA through on the unions.....Bush I would never have gotten that through with an (R) at the end of his name.

I'll take your poll of 500 done by a long-time Republican donor, and raise you a poll of over 3,000 18 to 29 year olds that you can claim is a liberal poll

A new national poll (http://www.iop.harvard.edu/Research-Publications/Survey/Spring-2011-Survey - broken link)of America’s 18 to 29 year olds by Harvard’s Institute of Politics now finds a majority of Millennials (55%) approve of the job performance of President Barack Obama, a rise of six percentage points from polling conducted last October. The President’s job approval rating among students on four-year college campuses – now 60% – increased even more (nine percentage points) over the same period.

Delusion aside, why would any American be so high on seeing a Presidency fail, no matter who the President may be? Perhaps that indicates a different unrelated problem.

THANK YOU!! There's no common ground and to see the president fail and our country fail, makes the right way too happy. It definitely displays a much larger problem

When he makes speeches wishing to install a federally controlled, single payer health care system, and his version of a cap and trade plan would cause electricity rates to necessarrily skyrocket, and bankrupt coal power plants, then all you can do is hope he fails to sign these things into law.

The GOP support of wage slave policies are why they walk into the world that they do. If they want less and less while the richest get more and more than let them put the repubs completely in charge.

Because they are hopelessly partisan.
Just like you and others wanted Bush to fail so badly.

The good thing though is that with this much hypocrisy and mental illness you can ROOT for the country\president (whomever it is) to do well but still blame them for everything and credit them for nothing.

Again, it's really funny to watch Obama trample the left and they take it with a smile....and the right screams about how far left he is.

Just like all those dopes that voted for Bush because he was going to be tough on government spending and other hot topics like abortion. Suckers.

You mean like when Republican president Clinton passed NAFTA?
Or do you mean how neither party will do anything about immigration because they want the hispanic vote which will shift from party to party?

Really, why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?
