Obama's ratings are starting to look a lot like Bush's ratings, so what's the deal? I thought he could walk on water, at least that's what liberals told us. So why are his approval ratings dropping like flies?
'Cause Democrats are liars and Obama is a pig.

I am not going to defend President Obama. However, anyone who does not realize the it was GW Bush and Cheney who got us into this mess must have been asleep during his presidency. Secondly the republicans have made it very clear through their actions that they represent big business and the wealthy and not the common man. Under Bush jobs left this country by the boat load while he lined the pockets of he richest people in the country. The most significant factor is that there has not been one job created by the so-called trickle down economics. Putting money in the hands of the rich only results in larger revenues in swiss banks or the purchase of a seventh summer home in Naples.
I am disappointed in President Obama too but mainly because he did not stand up to the republicans being driven by 18% of the voters called the tea party. He had some good ideas but failed to carry them through even when he had control.
The worst president without a doubt was GW BUSH. A man who called himself a born-again christian who spoke with God and then murdered one million Iraqis, 5000 Americans, and injuring thousands more. He involved us in two wars where we have lost trillions of dollars and companies like Halliburton made billions. At the same time he lowered tax to a record level for the rich.
President Obama may not be the best but he is a whole lot better than anything the republicans have to offer.

Unfortunately Obama has continued the exact policies
you despised in Bush/Cheney. He has escalated the
damage started under Bush. There is a Republican
that has a whole lot better to offer than Obama. His name
is Ron Paul.

Your "post" has way too many inaccuracies and just plain untruths to reply to. Now, if you want to post some actual facts, go right ahead.

In other words, leave the fiction to John Grisham, would you please?

"anyone who does not realize the it was GW Bush and Cheney who got us into this mess must have been asleep during his presidency."


Then you should have no problem listing some of the Bush/Cheney policies which cased this mess.

I'll wait...

The United States Unemployment Rate By Year (http://www.miseryindex.us/URbyyear.asp?StartYear=2001&EndYear=2008 - broken link)

On Monday President Clinton announced an "all-out" campaign to lobby Congress to pass permanent most-favored-nation status for China. The lobbying will be rough, with a fully mobilized American business community working as the iron fist inside the administration's velvet glove. The same day Clinton kicked off his new campaign, U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue warned, on cue, that members of Congress who oppose permanent trade status for China "will find themselves in an unhappy situation with the business community."

Clinton's China Two-Step


"I think they were wrong, and I think I was wrong" to accept their advice. The former president said he believed these exotic instruments would only be used by the most sophisticated investors and they didn't need protection. Now he acknowledges that not only did he underestimate how "sometimes people with a lot of money make stupid decisions," but also the effect that a collapse could have on the economy as a whole because of the amount of money involved.

"President Obama may not be the best but he is a whole lot better than anything the republicans have to offer."


Is that because he simply ignores the Constitutional requirement to get Congressional authorization before involving us in new wars or is it because he continued the Iraq War just like Bush was still in office?

Default Obama's new 'American Standard' toilet

Obama's ratings are in the toilet because that's where he operates from.

The in your face agenda and covert policies coming from the regulatory czar belong in a toilet.

American Standard must be in deep angst as their products are getting a bad name as toilet is now associated with obama.

I was starting a reply to him, but the more i read, the more it was obvious that he was a walking, talking cliche and a propagandized, uninformed, ignoramus.

No other president has engaged in crony capitalism on the the immense scale that 0bama has. It's sooooo bad, 0bama was able to slip in a mere $5 billion in 0bamaCare, to pay for the employee early retirement pensions for corporations like GE, GM, Verizon and AT&T. Even though GE paid ZERO income taxes last year, we are paying them $36 million.
