Well, you know, when you accuse the entire population of witchcraft and find one or two witches among the millions there are those who will consider you a genius and follow you anywhere.

I think the speech was just his way of expressing his Kenyan, anti-colonialist, gay friendly, Muslim centric, socialistic Marxism, with a twinge of his deep seated hatred of white people.

The 99% isn't really99%. More like 80% or so.

The 1% has the Limbaugh crowd on their side. You know, the ones who think he's a newsman giving them information. And the FOX audience. So, they probably add up to about 20%.

The 1% who own America and 19% more who don't get it.

Watching the news last night, Obamas rating as of Dec 2011 is at an overall all time low at 43%. Worse then Carter.

Infact they polled a bunch of people thruout the U.S. in different cities, people are not happy with the economy, they feel that Obama is not doing his very best, and that he needs to get something accomplished before running on his little vacations. Most people do not see that Obama has changed America or this ecnomy for the better, on the contrary, most people polled, felt that things are going to get much worse.

People who lost jobs and homes under Obama, are very weary, of things getting better.

The president of the United States said that the United States of America, as founded, “has never worked.”

Stop and think of that. Ponder that for a moment. The president. Not the head of the SEIU. Not the chairman of some congressional committee. Not a Democrat presidential hopeful. The elected president of the United States said in Osawatomie, Kansas, trying to be Teddy Roosevelt, that the United States of America has never worked. That is a quote, “has never worked.”




Folks, the abyss is at our doorstep.
You repeated yourself, it did not work for effect, it just made you sound like a conspiracy theorist. Also, it is not Marxist, and you just threw together a bunch of people that you do not like, did not like, or do not like the idea of.

It was a fail.

Carter's lowest approval rating was 28%.

W's was 25%.

United States presidential approval rating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don't give them facts, that will just confuse them. I find it amazing that so many righties claim that Obama is so horrible and so hated and yet based on the latest polls he would crush the GOP frontrunner Gingrich in the general election.

Even when faced with voting for a President they hate, the American people still seem to prefer that option to voting for a Republican.
