Obama's Approval Rating Drops to Lowest Ever, According to Gallup

Why are you always going back to Bush? Bush isn't the president now.

But as you bring it up, the Bush tax cuts, of course, are a huge part of the problem and are the largest contributing cause to the deficits you endlessly whine abuot. Doubling down on tax cuts will only make the deficit situation worse, and would almost certainly lead to further credit rating cuts. That, in turn, would increase our borrowing costs and make deficits even worse.

If you want to criticize Obama's policies try to come up with some alternative that at least passes the laugh test.

You brought up the Obama tax cuts as if it was 1. It benefited all taxpayers, and 2. it was the largest in history. If it all wasn't used how could it be the largest in history? You continue to buy the rhetoric and ignore the substance.

Nothing changes the mind of a liberal except time and experience. You too will grow up someday, I did.

California has a Democrat Legislature and a RINO Republican. I laugh at people from California lecturing the rest of us on sound economic policy and job creation. You have little credibility but thanks for the laugh.

Just as the rest of America laughs at the clowns in Texas that think that America wants to adopt a policy of unlimited welfare for corporations and minimum wage jobs for all.

Sorry....but California has had Republican Governors for decades...with the exception of about 2 years of Davis, who was more of a Republican than most republicans are...so Sorry...but it is you who's knowledge fails you.

As far as Texas and jobs....again....FAIL. Texas has the largest percentage of minimum wage jobs in the country. Texas is the model that the GOP wants? Basically, they are turning it into a Chinese Society, where the wealthy get more wealthy and the working class of America work for peanuts. Sorry...but that isn't the model that most of America wants.

LOL, Minimum wage jobs? Again the arrogant elite liberals. A job is a job is a job. TX has them and California doesn't. You totally ignored the post and the response. Some people never get it and you appear to be in that group. Think the Medical profession is minimum wage jobs? Think the influx of Fortune 500 companies ot TX creates minimum wage jobs? I prefer people working on any job including minimum wage jobs instead of sitting on their asses collecting taxpayer funded unemployment for two years.

Amazing isn't it, that the people of TX continue to elect Conservatives with such a miserable economic record that you claim?

I said that the Obama tax cut was "one of" the largest ever, which it was, and it did benefit all tax payers (or at least WORKING tax payers) to the extent that more than half of it was a payroll tax cut.

Texas' unemployment rate is rising. When you take population change into account Texas is 50 out of the 50 states in terms of job creation. Dead last, and by a large margin.

Are you still getting benefits from the Obama tax cuts? The Obama tax cuts didn't impact all taxpayers and had strings attached. You don't seem to understand the difference between the rate cuts and the rebate checks. You make a good liberal if there is such a thing.
 
Spot the disconnect ...


AdamT: "Obama already employed one of the largest tax cuts in US history"

Conservative: "You brought up the Obama tax cuts as if it was 1. It benefited all taxpayers, and 2. it was the largest in history. If it all wasn't used how could it be the largest in history?"​

LOL, yep, a true mirage here in TX that has fooled all the taxpayers of the state that voted in more Republicans in Nov. 2010. Thanks for telling me what is going on in the state that I live in.

You do realize the make up of the a State's legislature is subject to change.

I didn't say that Obama's tax cuts were permanent. I'm talking about the total value of the cuts, which made them one of the largest cuts in history. btw, in case you forgot, Bush's tax cuts would have expired by now if they hadn't been extended.

There was no string attached to the payroll tax cut. If you earned a paycheck you got a tax cut.

Your welcome. God knows someone needs to educate you.

Mississippi also consistently votes in conservative Republicans. How's that workin' out for them?

Yep, changed a lot in Nov. 2010, didn't it? What is it that you know that the majority in the state doesn't? could it be that you are wrong and the majority right? What I love here is the rugged individualism and acceptance of personal responsibility, something that doesn't seem to exist in liberal states. Personal responsibility is understood here so when liberals point out minimum wage, people here would prefer to work instead of sitting on their asses and know that no one holds a gun to the head of individuals to take those jobs nor do most here believe it is the Government's responsibility to regulate pay and benefits. Love this state. Too bad liberals don't understand it.

My county paid over 600,000 in illegal healthcare "benefits" that could have been put to better use. Happens all over the state because of the requirement to provide aid even to illegals. The way to get around that is to bill the countries of origin for those payments or deduct it from foreign aid.

The total value of the cuts is determined by the amount actually received and it was a much smaller percentage than you are willing to admit whereas the tax rate cuts continue today.

We have minimum wage jobs because of liberal social engineering that requires a business to pay minimum wage instead of letting the market decide what pay workers deserve. I never paid minimum wage and that is because the market would never let me do it. Minimum wage can also be called maximum wage required thanks to liberalism

Yeah, it's working out great. They rank last or close to last in virtually every economic metric.
