We had a booming economy during Bush's 1st 6 years as president. Don't believe me, check out the economic statistics during that time, unless of course you weren't around during coma season. Granted, Bush became a lame duck RINO during his last 2 years as president simply because the dems took control of congress, and thus, he wasn't able to push through his prior economic boon policies with the advent of an obstructionist congress. So to place the blame of this current economic shipwreck of doubling our national debt called obumunism on Bush is simply being disengenuous at best, and at worse, probably an acute bout with senility or dementia. I see you don't follow the many bills the congress led by Repubs have sent over to the senate (led by dem harry reid) that would create jobs and prevent govt spending. Dozens of these bills have either been outright dismissed or obstructed so the liberal base stays with its socialist agenda of spending our nation into bankruptcy. You just don't get it, obama doesn't want a recovery. If he did then he wouldn't be spending the tax payers monies on useless and failed green industries, and he would be pushing to get that Canadian pipeline through so that thousands of jobs would be created and America could start to wean off the foreign oil dependency to where we would be energy independent. You need to stop blaming Bush, and zero in on the failed policies of this jerk we have in office now. Do I need to lead you by the hand to the fountain of truth to get you to wise up?
No - I don't need to be led anywhere but it would help if you knew what you were talking about. The Keystone Pipeline will do absolutely NOTHING to make us energy independent. That oil is to be taken straight to a refinery in the Gulf of Mexico and SOLD OVERSEAS because they can make more money there. The "thousands of jobs" are no more than a couple of thousand TEMPORARY jobs that will disappear when the pipeline is completed. As to the businesses that will "sprout up around the pipeline" - why would that happen? They'll work on the pipeline in one spot for awhile and then move on. There won't be permanent employees left behind to guard it. The proposed route of the pipeline is across some important fresh water aquifers that would be in danger of being contaminated by a leak. And the farmers whose land will be condemned and paid a pittance of its worth DON'T WANT IT. Republicans are simply using this as one more fictitious means of blaming Obama for something they can make the sheep get outraged about and believe.
Think back to the major events that took place over the last 4 years If you did not vote for Obaam you were a racist If you oppsoed Obama's policies you were a racist If you attended a Town Hall and opposed Obamacare you were a racist If you opposed the Gorund Zero Mosque you were a racist If you supported the AZ immigration law you were a racist If you opposed raising the debt ceiling you were a racist Of you are a member of the Tea Party you wer a racist Need more examples?
Will the white anti-Obama voters be wearing their hoods and robes or will they be appearing in plainclothes?
I have never called anyone a racist simply for doing the things you list... and I cannot recall any democratic politician ever doing so. Do you have links to support all of the above "examples"?
I doubt if the majority of Americans who are decidely anti obama will be wearing hoods or robes, but will more likely be holding signs that say down with obamunism.
and yet...oddly enough... after all this wailing and moaning by the right that this is the worst president ever.... he STILL leads every one of the GOP's stable of contenders. More Americans approve of his job performance than those who disapprove of it. And most Americans understand that Obama has been up against an absolutely do nothing congress whose sole stated goal - far above the economy, or healthcare, or the environment, or housing, or jobs - their number one goal is simply to do whatever they can to get rid of the negro in the white house. party over country, and the country can see that.
LOL: I love it when you guys show your racism by constantly focusing on race. RASMUSSEN POLL: Obama Approval at 45%, Lowest in Month—President Falls Behind Romney and Paul... Romney 45% Obama 43%... Paul 43% Obama 41% Obama 45% Santorum 43% Obama 49% Gingrich 39%
actually... the better poll to use is real clear politics. it averages many different polls to filter out the bias... like the way that Rasmussen has been showing Obama lower than any other polls for years now. So... if you go to RCP, you'd see: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html and you'd see: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/president_obama_vs_republican_candidates.html but I understand that, rather than seek the truth, you'd prefer to seek out that poll that gives you the answers that make you feel the best. good for you.
I simply showed you a polling site that works hard to filter out the bias that some pollsters, i.e. rasmussen, tend to exhibit. And that polling site does indeed substantiate everything I said about Obama's approval and his standing versus the GOP field of contenders. Clearly, you want none of that. I understand.
Nothing worse than a smarmy liberal. You are under a mistaken notion that all questions in all polls are the same. The fact is that Obama is in trouble and no matter how much you want to believe otherwise, that cannot be dismissed.
and yet... the averages of the polls from the highly respected polling site shows a different picture. Odd, isn't it? Clearly, you have no need of facts, as your strongly held beliefs concerning the president are really all that you need. I'm happy for you.
I know precisely how polls work. perhaps you could show me how the methodology of RealClearPolitics is in error. Or is the problem, that you have no need of understanding how arithmetic works?
Well, for one, RealClearPolitics is a lagging average of polls. You will also find that it is not up to date, reference the current Rasmussen poll.
that does not explain why you would think that a lagging average of many polls would not be less biased, and inherently more accurate than one individual poll... especially one that has historically given Obama lower marks than any other poll. but hey... as I said earlier... you really don't give a rat's rectum about accuracy. the only thing you seem to care about is finding data that will support your strongly held beliefs. that's fine. just do us both a favor and don't try to pawn yourself off as this objective disinterested third party.
What it really boils down to is that since Rasmussen's poll averages lower than say the Democrat Corps poll, that it is somehow wrong in your partisan view. Since Rasmussen averages lower consistently, then they are consistent in their polling which means the trends would be accurate. The trend is not going in the direction of Obama's favor. Now, we don't even have a front runner yet for opposition, so all of this will change once one is decided upon.
Rasmussen polls lower that EVERYONE else. THAT is what it boils down to. Hang your hat on Rasmussen if you want... clearly, it suits your world view.
Your posts clearly reflect that But the high gas prices are starting to hurt Obama - that is why he, his re-election team in the liebral media, and his supporters are now is full damage control http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html
full damage control? hardly http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/president_obama_vs_republican_candidates.html the folks in full damage control are the power brokers in the GOP who are scrambling around trying to convince SOMEBODY... ANYBODY besides the four stooges that are now in the race to PLEASE step up and run against Obama because, after scores of debates and GOP primaries, Americans remain solidly unimpressed by the filthy rich flip flopping mormon, the adulterer, the jesus freak and the whack job. What IS your party gonna do???
Americans remain solidly unimpressed by the filthy rich flip flopping mormon [sic], the adulterer, the jesus [sic] freak, the whack job and the empty suit in office now.
you may think so.... but the link I produced would tend to indicate that they are less impressed with the first four. again... what ARE you gonna do if none of the four stooges is able to make the case to America that THEY should replace Obama? Clearly, they have not made that case yet... and that is after Obama has been hammered by an economic mess not of his making, after people getting all upset about Obamacare even before it's been implemented and they can experience the benefits of it, after gas prices going up... after all that, and they STILL can't make their case. YOu gotta know that the GOP power brokers are running around like chickens with their heads cut off right about now. lol p.s. how would YOU spell mormon?
Funny after almost 4 years that you guys still give Obama a pass. Sure he walked into a mess after the housing bubble burst, but he has been in office long enough to prove he does not know what he is doing.
I give NO ONE a pass. I merely look at the choices and choose. I am a democrat, that's for sure, and I almost always vote for the democrat for president, that's also for sure. But not always. I cannot imagine any of the four stooges doing any better than Obama. And I CERTAINLY cannot imagine how terrible the long term ramifications would be if one of the stooges got to pick the next two SCOTUS justices. AND... when the congress has ONE PRIMARY goal, that being to stop EVERYTHING that Obama wants to do, it is pretty hard to say that he does not know what he is doing, imo.
