^ Agreed 100%

I heard the talking heads saying this is near the end of US super power dominance and the NWO is coming.
I'm glad this is an open, global site because most of my friends would be in shock at this:

I am glad! We need a multi polar world, one not totally dominated by America

Surprise,surprise. Rush was on Hannity's show saying that Obama is a bigger threat than Osama Bin Ladin and Al-Qaeda. I hope that they keep giving this clown a pulpit to speak from. The GOP will be a thing of the past much like the WHIG party.

Yea, I keep telling my old room mate he's got to send a letter to Rush telling him to shut the f*ck up, he's just making things even worse for them.
Though I wouldn't be too upset by that.

I mean you got Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh heading the party at the moment. Dead

Ah well, those 6 years were pretty rough on us Dems, it be our time now.

Obama thus far has been a glowing example of how the Presidency should be done.
I am already putting him down as #1 in my rankings.

I heard the next thing he's gunna tackle is global warming.
You know he has cool breath? He is simply going to exhale and lower the temperature.
Also he is going to swim the arctic waters and save each polar bear himself.

Lol I actually thought you were serious at first, as I have heard other similar claims.LOL
 To me, Obama is just another crooked overlord in a long line. Even tough I din't agree with his philsophy, I actually had hoped he'd bring a kinder face to the gov't after he won. Silly me, buying into the hope and change bullsh*t.

It's a shame Obama had a Bud Light, though I understand the spot he was in. "Can't have anything good or you're an elitist." He should've gotten a microbrew, which might have caused dumbass accusers to explode from simultaneously supporting small business and being unrelatable to rednecks.

Or I guess he could actually like Bud Light. Wat. Confused

I have just been given that job myself, directly from Barack Obama. I run the Polar Bear Adoption Forum (PBAF). 

PBAF aim to rehouse all polar bears from the Arctic Ocean, which soon will be ice-free and unhitable by polar bears, to council estates and the suburbia in the United Kingdom, Germany, The Scandinavian Countries, France and The Baltic States. PBAF is financially and morally supported by both the Obama administration in the USA, Russia and China. Some funds has also been sourced from Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and Libya.

The whole idea is to save the whole population of polar bears from it's extintion by integrate these 25 000 charming meat-feast consumers into these countries, among the general population.

PBAF is therefore makin the Kyoto and any similiar moronic climate-deals obsolete. USA plans to increase their emissions by 40 % by completing the rehousing of the polar bears to their intended destinations.

If you want to rehouse a polar bear or ten, please contact your local council if you live in any of the countries mentioned.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and moral support.

Meet the Press had graphics on his numbers yesterday and they/re down. Surprisingly even Clintons' numbers on universal health care were higher than Obama's. His approval ratings are down 10 pts. since the election. Keeping his word/Believeability are down as well. It could be alot of people are buying into what the right's talking heads are putting out.

Nah......
I'm sure there ARE people who are getting scared into believing by the right wing talking heads...but I don't think that is the major reason.
(I know it's out jobs as good liberals to make sure the vast right wing conspiracy is good and strong)
but I was expecting it.

I figured Obama would get a few months, then his numbers would start sliding. It was inevitable.
Why else was there this giant push to do all that stuff? He knew it.
As for healthcare, I also think that's more the American people being hopeful.
At first the LARGE majority supported a public option (I think above 70%) then as we got into it, they fell.
A majority of Americans said we do NEED some reform, but also a majority didn't want to raise taxes.

So....not a very easy spot to be in.
But hey, that's the Presidency...you get the good praise, probably unwarranted....and the bad, also unwarranted.

He didn't really do anything on healthcare..he just sat back and let Congress fight it out. So yeah, once the economy rebounds and is back in full, (2012 maybe?) he'll be credited as "fixing" it. A while to go still

I hate to do the red writing thing but I've been following US politics since the late '70's and I've seen a major dumbing down of certain groups of people through right-wing talk radio and television. 

(I know it's out jobs as good liberals to make sure the vast right wing conspiracy is good and strong)
but I was expecting it.
Conspiracy or combined dis-coordinated effort?  If you aren't a part, you can't really know.  The best thing you have is to pay attention to current events and if things seem too coincidental, something may be afoot.  But the again maybe not.

Healthcare is still a political football and will remain so for a while.  It's been going on for a long time.  I am skeptical of reform that will actually be functional.

Wow, I'm taken aback.
I was expecting a cartoon....I don't think I've seen you make a serious post LOL

Hey I'm not saying that a lot of dittohead's are there who don't know anything and just believe the right wing talking heads....
But wouldn't they already be opposed to Obama?
I'm just saying that's not the main reason for his fall in numbers.

It was going to happen anyway.
Not to mention health care is a sticky wicket.....we want reform, but we don't want anything to change.....tackling the issue at all was a dicey move.

Now I hate the unholy alliance, (which I use to refer to Rush, Glen, and Bill) not to mention that fascist michael savage....and I'm sure some people in the middle, (those that really have no f*cking clue about anything and don't really care) were swayed.

But it's just natural...his numbers were bound to go down.
Once the economy is back on track he should be on the easy track, unless things really go bad until then.

Then read the comments.

1. Ironic as hell
2. Apparently EVERYTHING IS RUINED FOREVER
3. These people have the blackest souls ever shat into existence

Nothing is ever enough. There will always be a new thing to hate for these people.

His presidency has been nothing what he promised, I'll leave it at that.  All politicians lie but he has had a larger number IMO.
