White House fires back at Rush Limbaugh

And you are a prime example of a graceless winner who is under the delusion that your fearless leader will maintain the support he has now through his entire term.

I do not know whether he will or will not, neither does anyone else. As it is though, he is popular and he has strong support for his agenda.

So did Bush just following the last national crisis. I am afraid Pelosi is going to be what does Obama in though.
 
I am sure that will all change when we are so indebted to China we can't get out and little Obamaville shack cities spring up around the country.

My kids were learning how to write numbers in Chinese just the other day at school. :shock:

I remember that in elementary school. What is funny is that when you travel to China numbers are always represented the same way they are in the west. This is true even on their currency.

Bush had a greater approval rating that Obama has now, at this same point in his term, and look where Bush is now.

Didn't Hoover "do nothing" while the market corrected itself?

I didn't say to "do nothing". I am simply against these massive expenditures that do nothing but grant the feds cash to buy into and influence the markets for decades to come.
 
The white house has never not been concerned about media. Rush is as big a fish as there is, politically.

Obama's current approval rating is 63%, Bush's was 55% at this point in his first term. Do you just make this stuff up?

I didn't mean that you said that when I put those words in quotes. I put them in quotes because essentially that is what Hoover did. He let the market correct itself. Then came Hoovervillles. If the govt. doesn't stimulate the economy, doing nothing is all they have left.

Oops, just heard on the news that Obama's approval is now 68%.
 
They are just a bunch of sore losers that are under some delusion that their echo chamber actually encompasses more than the far right. Obama has the majority of Americans behind him. If right doesn't like that then they need to actually come up with some solutions of their own instead of spouting the same tired ideas they have been spouting for 30 years now.

The same ideas that got us out of the last Democratic economic mess produced 25+ years of unequalled growth and prosperity.

Tax Cuts.
 
This is a Republic. When we are discussing whether something is controversial or not, or whether its supported or not, the majorities opinion on the issue is really the only thing that is relevant.

Obama won by a strong majority. The Democrats had huge gains in congress. Obama is a very popular president so far, his agenda is popular so far, and by a large margin when polled the electorate wants Republicans to work with Democrats, and a solid majority of Americans when polled believe the Republicans are acting as obstructionists for political reasons.

Thus, it is the Republican agenda right now that is very controversial and lacking support among the majority of voters.

Obama is losing support every day the stock market goes lower and lower.

Funny, that's never stopped Democrats from bitching when they've lost the White House or Congress.

Besides, we all know that the only way to obtain a majority is by a) convincing as many as possible that your ideas are right, and b) convincing as many people as possible that your opponents' ideas are wrong.

Democrats have been on offense for eight long years. They're now playing defense and I get the distinct impression that they're uncomfortable in the role. They'd better get used to it. And fast. Obama's economy is tanking faster than anything I've seen in my lifetime. Which might actually be a good thing for him at the moment... since it's taking all attention from his outrageous foreign policy blunders (secret letter to Russia?!? Jimmy Carter couldn't have thought of something that high-schoolish!)

What's going to get really interesting is when the Iraq 'withdrawal' starts. Obama's kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place on that one. The drawdown won't be nearly as fast or as complete as his hard left supporters will demand. And they'll be furious as fighting in Afghanistan ramps up.

This is going to be a fun ride, folks!

:sword:

Just a reminder, Bush lost the pop vote in 2000.

And he's not done a thing to stop global warming yet. Aren't we near the 'tipping point?'
