Why has Obama's popularity fallen so fast? (136)
ooby_dooby: I guess you could include me as a free thinker because I voted against my race by voting for him and will do so again. Thanks for the compliment.
Indeed, for your age, you might be the "free-thinker". Most in your age bracket voted for McCain.
I would have voted against my race, but I thought there was way to much over-promising...and besides, I didn't see the "Messiah" everyone else saw. When something seems to good to be true, it usually is~
Economy...
Maybe unfair expectations of him. Afterall, he hasn't been president for long and he is only a man.
Some people expect miracles that's what I see.

RayfromUSA: It's pretty obvious that Obama is intended to be a disposable one-term president anyway.
The people who put him into office don't even want him to be popular.
They'll use him to accomplish a lot of evil and then they'll throw as much blame as possible onto him and find another unknown patsy from the other party to fill his shoes.
It's an old, transparent scam. But it works every time because the people want to be deceived.
What planet are you from, you just suffered 8 years of Dubbbbya, the president of the worst presidents club, he makes a scat throwing monkey look smartThe people who put him into office don't even want him to be popular.

How is the unemployment rate in MN?
Just a moment let me look it up for you. 6.8% not to bad compared to the National Average of 9.7%. But then again you do have a REP Governor....that if memory serves me...did refuse bailout funds from Obama.
This just in. The rate of Proverty has risen in the last 18 months in the US. From 13.5% to 15.0%.
I suspect it because of the lose of private sector jobs in country.

RayfromUSA: Even dubya was able to maintain a high popularity for 4 years before starting what was clearly a deliberate clown act.
But Obama, without even trying, has lost most of his support in only 2 years.
Why do you think that is?
Becoz his GF is not beautiful But Obama, without even trying, has lost most of his support in only 2 years.

Because the American public expects miracles from puppet-presidents who are soooooo powerful that they have to ask permission to get out of the White House.

Obama's adminstration coming in after Bush is like trying to hold up a previously designed economic house of cards ...........

At least we had a full deck of cards to play with in the Bubba days. Now all we got is three card montie deck....and that deck is being shuffled in Washington.

There is no Bean under neither one of the Shells Oby is playing with!I think that we in trouble....just got a email from Mrs. Bush....
saying that there is global crisis in literacy.
I quote "Education is our most urgent prioity. And it should be our highest call on our time and resources."
But if solving that global problem...means making more people can read Dude and JVANKI here....at CS.....I suspect that Luara Bush did not know the future global crisis she was making was contributing to.

Don't really care for any of Obummers policies, but one thing the guy does have going for him...
The way he says Pakeestan is kinda cute.
Hey Romantic, did he ever clarify the other 7 states?
chunk of the deck 
vince2010: cos he,s black and is be blocked at every time he doing some in the country ,s interest there alot of wackos out there like tea party asswholes bigots alive and well he a christian by the way and from holalulu give him a chance
Right ,with his Party controlling both Houses of Congress,that's how he is blocked! 
kekei: Maybe unfair expectations of him. Afterall, he hasn't been president for long and he is only a man. Some people expect miracles that's what I see.
He's done more damage in the short time he's been in office that we don't want him to be able to do any more!
Just read a New York Times article...yes I know....why in the world would you pick up that piece of newsprint....but hey, once a year is enough for me.
Anywyas the article was on the DEM Plan to hold on House in Nov.
Bascially they had strategy called "Triage". You know like battle field triag to determine who the casualties are....some need immediate medical attention, others to you can let sit and then those that are fatal.
Anywas in the DEM triage plan....they would determine running DEM house memeber...that had no chance of a Nov win....and tkae their DEM fundaway to give to possible DEM wins.
Now the Time did a admirable job....right up to the point were it determine that there were 70 DEMs possibles running and of these 44 had leads and 22 were neck and neck races and only 4 were losing. At this point I began to cough and gag here.
If the DEM win 35 of these 70 possibles....they retain the House.
I am doing a slow croacking job...knowing that so far REP and Tea Party voters have sent 4m more voters to the primaries than DEM have. This little bit of info was not in the Times report.
It does seem just a little important to this political observer.
Rather the Times were going on ....if the House seat had gone to Obama in 2008 and presently polling. Call it Of course if you go by the 2008 district Data on Obama;s Presidential win....this looks good for the DEMs. But with a approval rating of 40% those days are over with.
Me thinks that the New York Times is hopin and prayin. Diggin for any and all help it can see to keep DEM in office in 2008.
Now with growing number of DEM canidates running on anti Obama campaigns, I also think that the Traige plan is another way to attempt to keep them on the sinking ship. Run a anti Obama campaign...lose your DEM funding.
The big sharks brought in the little sharks now....and the mass feeding frenzy is under way. God help the rookie DEM canditate that says.....Obamacare was wrong and I would appeal it. Even though he/she knew 60% of the country is against it.

ttom500: But we did get a Carp Czar for the $875b, Freddy. Be fair...we needed a Carp Czar....
About as much as the Swamp-Mouse-Czar!ttom500: Did you see where Pres. Obama is sot talking Obamacare now? Yes....now he is back tracking on it. Hoping to give DEM canidates room to distance themselves from thier votes on it.
The problem there.....most Americans will actually think that what you say Yea and Nea to in a House or Senate vote...is actually what you think should be law for the country. So it very difficult to distance yourself from such votes.
The only way to distance yourself from a vote....is to tell the voting public....I voted for it, but was derranged the day they had the vote on it....so did not know what I was voting for. In which case they get to vote you out of office for incompetency and mental illness.
They might find out,that all the hoping won't help them!The problem there.....most Americans will actually think that what you say Yea and Nea to in a House or Senate vote...is actually what you think should be law for the country. So it very difficult to distance yourself from such votes.

They got a predatory fish in the great lake....from Asia...it eat the local game and food fish.....but has no check in the food chian of the Great Lakes.
So instead fo introducing the same checks that are in the Asian water where the fish orginates.....what do they do?
so
Employee a Carp Czar....and give him a $200m budget to study and solve the problem. At present he is considering to genically mutate the normal Great Lakes fish with body armor....so they will not be victim to this Asian carp.
By the time they get the Great Lake fish mutiations done....there will be no more game and food fish in the Great Lakes. But hey is only another 1b or so to reintroduce them.....

WORST PRESIDENT ?
You ever hear of a man named JIMMY CARTER ??????
He is your Man ! BUBBA !
Some good points here, some not so good.
When will the people of this world wake up? Politics is not about what is in the best interest of the people, politics is about deceiving the people and what is in the best interest of government.
How many trillions are spend world wide every year on defense budgets? If the world politicians truly had the best interest of the people in mind, would there be a need for defense spending?
If those trillions were put back into the world economy, we we have people starving, people homeless, elderly unable to maintain a life after retirement??
What about all the drugs? Does the world really desire to put an end to the drug problem? NOT, it is big business and places big bucks into the hands of the world politicians. And we wonder why the world (not just the USofA) is the way it is.. And they walk among us.
Just my personal observations..

Many people still think Reagan's voodoo economics "worked" just because they lived well during his term. But in fact Reagan started the insane deficit spending trend that led to the current depression.
Exactly, Reagan(like Margaret Thatcher)crushed the Unions in the 80's, but in doing so he crushed their respective productive industries aswell, and now we are paying the price for consuming much and producing little over the last three decades.
Excessive borrowing is the only way you can finance such an economy with an imbalance of consumption over creation, for how can a nation afford to buy goods if it is not selling goods of equal value? It simply can't, that is the root nature of a trade deficit.
Every major recession proves the Mercantilists were correct in many of their economic principles.
