I think it is absolutely absurb for people to hold Obama accountable for the state of this country. He has been given a huge responsibility to fix mess that’s been brewing for years. It is also appropriate for world leaders to bow when the custom of that country requires it. If the US had a custom for other world leaders to bow to Obama, would the Republicans be upset if someone didn’t do it. People let’s get real. Let’s focus on real issues and not this type of foolishness!!

Who gives a rats arse what the heck any FOX poll says about anything. You sure can get the poll numbers you want when you go around a tea party asking those idiots the right questions.

Since I will be traveling tomorrow, I would like to wish every one a happy thanksgiving, and remember to say a prayer for Jesus, the US military, and President Barack Hussein Obama, commander and chief of the US military….

md… you’re a moron. corporate greed ruined this country. my CEO received a $2 million bonus (2nd Q) this year on top of his $8 million salary while laying off in excess of 100 employees at our grand corporate headquarters and other sites just to protect the bottom line. How many “average workers” should have kept their jobs? How many families had to stress over the fact their head of household was let go for no reason? Bush’s base is still alive and kickin’ because of the good ole’ southern boy mentality in this grand republican state. Short sighted, small minded politics are still alive in the south and will never die, due to greed of cowardly executive limp d*ck idiots and the reps they pay off.

Final Word: jesus was a copycat messiah, hannity and rush prove the “mental shadow” of themselves time after time, and every strong arm republican is most likely a spoiled brat with closet issues and an overprotective mother. I wish my daddy could give me all his cast off companies so i could run ‘em into the ground for practice…. Bush junior screwed this country and closed minded morons will never accept it.. deal with it..

Jay, your poll nicely illuminates the depth of the average rancid Repug mind. Thanks for yet another never-ending reminder re “The Little People” of our land.

There is hope, but it is slight.

The last time this country had a balanced budget was right after Clinton failed to pass his version of healthcare. Congress was cleaned out and replaced with the gop, which unlike the Bush years demanded a balanced budget. If you will recall, Clinton had to submit 5 budget proposals before congress approved one and the budget was balanced within the next 4 years.

If this monster bill goes through, you can kiss that balanced budget goodbye forever, and the downfall of America will be complete. Before long, a strong economy would barely be able to pay the interest, much less the bills.

Dis/Approval ratings, What is that? What was W’s approval rating his last YEARS in office? What was Clintons approval ratings? We have checks and balances in place to make sure that not even the President has so much power. In 1-2 yrs the disapproval will show when Congress gets re-balanced in favor of the GOP. Then when everyone sees that with a Dem in the WH and a GOP controlled Congress even then nothing much will get done. I am convinced that our Modern Day politicians on both sides are in cahoots. Honestly when was the last time we had a Great Statesmen or a real Leader?

His ratings are slipping because the koolaid is starting to wear off. If you were anti-war, the increased body bags returning from Afghanistan is not the change you hoped for. If you’re a 20 something ‘invincible’, being forced to pay for health insurance you don’t want isn’t the change you hoped for. If you’re one of the 16% of unemployed Amnericans due to the total failure of both stimulus packages, this isn’t the change you hoped for.
