America's Fed Up: Obama Approval Rating Hits All-Time Low, Poll Shows [W:256]

You're claim fits Sharpton better than Jackson, but it's important to note we all don't have the same experiences. We used to say when I was younger to walk in another person's shoes before you criticize too much. For those who have benefited the most to say to those who have benefited the least to quite whining and playing victim is rather arrogant no matter who does it. While I'm responding to you, I mean this across the board. I can't imagine that anyone really believes all racism is dead and buried.

Dead and burried? No. But a lazy response to criticism? You bet.

Yep, he's such a dictator. I mean right this very moment you are being arrested for what you just posted about him....oh wait you aren't. Because he isn't a dictator or king. While I agree his actions are horrible, they aren't anything unlike the power other presidents have used like YOU have voted for in the past.

Calling him a dictator or king is just pathetic rhetoric from people that don't like what he was doing, however, during past presidents time they supported those same executive "dicatorship" actions.

It was hyperbole for effect. But if he could fully have his way.......

In fact, through the IRS and the DOJ, it seems he has tried to silence the opposition.

It was George Bush that first saw the constitution as an impediment, and because you guys let him get away with it then, we see more of it now!

Speaking of the constitution and a court ruling against Him, Bush had this to say.

"I strongly disagree with that document. Strongly disagree," President Bush said. The president called the Constitution, "out of touch with 21st century terror."
"Now look, here's the Constitution, it was written 200 years ago. They didn't have this kind of a threat. They didn't have to be adaptive. They made all these restricting rules, and there's no way to change it. It is out of place in this century, in this fight. Al-queda doesn't care about it, so we can't either."
As if to underscore Bush's point, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga) added, "If the appeal continues and this decision's upheld, then we'll have to set policy that does comply with the Constitution. This takes away a vital tool in our war on terror. If we cannot sink to the level of Stalin and Hussein, how can we fight back?"
The White House's argument in support of the program is that Mr Bush's role as commander-in-chief of US forces gave him, "the inherent power to violate not only the laws of the Congress but the first and fourth amendments of the constitution", according to White House Spokesman Tony Snow.

It seems, especially after your Limbaugh comments, that have no understanding of parody.

I'm sorry do you care to show where Obama has been convicted of using the IRS or DOJ to silence the opposition or is this another one of your rhight-wing rants without proof.

That may be your opinion, but I only know of one who actually said it and that was Bush with "a dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier."

So your hyperbole is just that hyperbole. Again, I think Obama has been very ineefective as a leader, but that doesn't me I'm going down the bat-**** crazy road of calling him a dictator or king. And no, I don't think Bush was a dictator or king either.

Who cares if he's the worst president in history. For this time in history when we need a strong effective leader, he's horrible. Absolutely.

IMO, the last thing America needs is a 'strong' leader. That is all America gets...arrogant ignoramuses that walk around with their penises sticking out who would not know how to run a country if their lives depended on it...yet go around telling EVERYONE what to do.

Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc....one 'strong' boob after another.


IMO, what America needs is someone who is not afraid to let America run itself.

To get the Fed/government out of the economy and let Americans do what they do best...run a (relatively) free enterprise economy.

To get America out of meddling in every other countries business...let them work out their own problems.

To stop being 'strong' on spending and to force America to live within her means and balance the budget.

To stop 'taking action' by giving into whiny Americans who want handouts or bailouts. Or whiny foreign interests who want gifts or the brave US soldiers to sacrifice their lives to fix their problems for them.
The POTUS should let them work their problems out themselves (outside of helping those who cannot help themselves).



I believe that the only major strength America needs from a POTUS is a President who is willing to be strong enough to risk losing an election to maintain his/her principles.

The extent to which a patronizer will go to defend the presidents diminishing of the constitution. But then its not yours, why would you respect it.

He hasn't .....yet. :rolleyes:
 
I personally don't even know of a democrat (in real life) that even likes Obama - they stopped defending his useless ass about a year ago.... However I have always thought it was funny how low our congressional rating is (usually under 20% approval) yet the president gets such high approval rating (compared to congress)... That really shows how little the US population knows about how government works -- either that or the people want a dictatorship.

I suppose or would assume that 75% of the people polled on our congressional approval rating never vote during midterms and only during presidential elections..

Generally speaking democrats almost never vote during midterms - that's why Republicans and Libertarians generally gain ground during midterms.

You'll continue to believe there isn't 'a smidgen' until after he's convicted? That sort of blind loyalty to a politician can often have negative consequences.

And Blind loyalty to the extremist right wing has its negative consequences as well... namely everything you've ever posted.

You don't understand the importance of the constitution to many Americans, do you!

Oh.
I assumed you made a mistake so I was going to let it go.
What I quoted from you was something about anarchy, but what Obama is doing is more like monarchy.

You make point.
It appears the Nobel Prize Committee perceived Obama a lot more accurately than many of our own citizens.
They said ... "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" ... but they were thinking "for his willingness to subordinate his own Country and redistribute its abundance across the Globe until equality is acheived"
