Ssshhh dont tell them they are in the minority. They will all freak out and go nuts.

They cannot understand that the MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THIS TO PASS but yet left winger mobsters are still pushing it.

So if this poster says the majority put him in the WH and that is ok but then wont allow the same majority to stop this bill.

Another double standard left wing mobster thing I guess.

The PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, we do not want this and the dems will pay for it if they find a sneaky way to get it through.

Here I thought those congress members were elected to vote as their areas majority wants them to vote. Not any more?

Okay...wait for it. Shocked! Again.


It will get better again though (a little). He'll eventually do something that people "get". I get a birdie about one out of every 18 holes. This is my reasoning and research. So...Being a crappy golfer I realize that, one out of every 18 holes, I look like a pro. If I can do it, so can he. Think about that...if you are able wrap your head around it.

Neither can the Right, apparently.

At this point in Reagan's administration his approval rating was in the 30s.

It's too early to judge Obama ; only time will tell. Next year we'll have a better idea. Although I do think there'll be a GOP Senate come November....

If PResident Dumbass would focus on the economy instead of ramming healthcare and every other irrelevant bill down our throats he might have better approval ratings.

He is already challenging Carter for the honor of Worst President in American History, in my opinion. He is probably the most corrupt, at the very least, bringing "Chicago style" politics to the White House. I've never seen anything like this. The guy is a skunk.

Carter was a failure but not the worst president of the 20th century or of American history, and his approval ratings at this point in his administration were higher than Obama's (or Reagan's) at this point. Carter's first year was his best year. As for most corrupt, you really need to read more American history. Even leaving Bush out of this, there were some extremely corrupt administrations in US history that make right now seem like nothing. Know anything about Grant, Hayes, or Harding?
