Even listening to talk radio, it's evident. I must confess, I have noticed a direct correlation between economic news and rightwing lunacy ... they both increase at fairly equal levels.

polls this far out are meaningless. but if it helps you sleep at night....knock yourself out

After Bill Clinton secured the Democratic Party's nomination in the spring of 1992, polls showed Ross Perot leading the race, followed by President Bush, with Clinton in third place after a grueling nomination process. Two way trial heats between Bush and Clinton in early 1992 showed Bush in the lead,

Absolutely, they are. And I'm not speaking about 19 months from now. I said, "as of now..." But what do you suppose is going to change for the worse for Obama to turn those numbers around?

SO polls are meaningless this far out, but you can make a prediction on an event that will be influenced by events we cannot predict...
 
One thing for sure, when the country falls, the little men ALL fall together. I hate this president. I hate him for what he is doing to this country and the associates he's let in the door of a country I love.

Barack Obama has probably done a few things the last two plus years, he has added more debt than any other President in U.S. history in his first term and he has improved his golf game. His resume showed zero leadership skills and his actions support that resume.
 
et al,

All I have to say is that we should fire House Speaker John Boehner and every member of Congress.

In 1984, Ronald Reagan had increased the national debt about $700 billion. At that time, it was more than any other president's first term in U.S. history. Despite that, you voted to give him 4 more years anyway.

In 1992, GHW Bush had increased the national debt about $1.5 trillion. At that time, it was more than any other president's first term in U.S. history. Despite that, you voted to give him 4 more years anyway.

In 1996, Bill Clinton had increased the national debt about $1.2 trillion. At that time, it was NOT more than any other president's first term in U.S. history. Despite that, you voted against giving him 4 more years anyway.

Then in 2004, George Bush Jr. had increased the national debt about $1.7 trillion. At that time, it was more than any other president's first term in U.S. history. Despite that, you voted to give him 4 more years anyway.
______________​

For you to now whine about how Obama doesn't deserve another 4 years because he's increased the national debt more during his first term than any other president during their respective first term is more of a reflection of your own hypocrisy than it is Obama's record. Since if increasing the national debt more than any other president actually mattered to you, you wouldn't have voted for Reagan, GHW Bush, or Bush Jr. Meanwhile, unlike some other Republican presidents, that was a record Clinton did not break, yet you voted against giving him 4 more years.

I don't see why.
Republicans only have the majority of Congress. You want things to go your way, change the Senate from Dem. to Rep. and elect a Rep. president, then it will go your way.
 
I hate to see Americans whine. While one side is trying to fix the leak, the other side is continuing to drill the holes. When did people forget that they are Americans? When did they stop loving their country? No, you're not an American if you want everyone to wipe your nose and your ass and feed you at the same time. Entitlement babies... can't stand them. Never will!! Now I know it might take a generation or three to get off the tit, but American can be what it was and should be.... the haven for the rest of the world. So please please please stop trying to screw it up... liberal and progressives. Yours is the CANCER we do not need and want!!

Both Democrats and Republicans "love" America. They disagree on the solutions to its problems.

They can't agree how they want to disagree. Believe me, it wasn't always like this.
