Obama does speak well. He says whatever President Pelosi tells him to.

Stop being an idiot.

And Bush sounded like that WITH a teleprompter. Seems like we got ourselves an upgrade.

You know you don't have to be like this right? Why don't you try actually contributing some meaningful thoughts here every once in awhile instead of just making dumb one line comments that any 12 year old could make?

You have not been keeping track of Obama's solutions the markets do not like any of what he has said. Leaks come out from the administration one day saying something the next they disregard it. Look at the opposition of the housing plan, the flip flopping on the nationalization of banks, the lack of details from Treasury Sec. and administration on bank plan, and the lack of transparency still in our financial system.

what are you talking about? ...housing plan? lack of transparency? .. sounds like Bush's admin.. are you high?

much like your name, you invalidate yourself.

absolutely incorrect. He build infrastructures (highway, aerospace, technology foundation) that have fueled our country for over 60 yrs.

Blathering on like a moron ... "Tax Cheat in Chief" and "the Messiah" and "propaganda."

It's like you learned how to crap out of your mouth and you're just so excited to show everyone.

sounded more like he was doing a Harvey impersonation of Bush to me?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Obama's approval rating has started to drop and continues to drop. It isn't all his fault since he inherited this mess. Perhaps now that the honeymoon is over, former approvers are starting to blame the current president by default for the state of the economy. For that reason I predict that his approval rating will continue to drop.

Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban

Looks like he could easily shed 10% approval from this. This Obama administration is getting more big brother government by the day.

This is why the stock market continues to break down. It is because he has no clear answers to the financial problems just very vague details. As for more transparency Obama broke his promise on letting citizens view a bill for 5 days before he passed it. Not to mention there was talk floating around about Treasury sec. thinking of taking mark to market away which would further erode the financial system and have banks continue to hide these toxic assets.

Presidents always start with high approval ratings that then drop. Considering newly elected presidents frequently start with approval ratings over 60%, and the average historic approval rating for presidents is a bit below 50%, it's fairly safe to say that wherever Obama ends up it will be down from where it is.

Uhmm, what are you basing this on? The assault weapons ban is enormously popular, nearing 2/3rds support as of the last time people did polling on it. 2/3rds support on anything in America is as close to a mandate as you're going to get.

You can disagree with the ban all you want, but to say that Obama is going to lose popularity over it seems awfully silly. Remember: the internet is not representative of the population at large. If it were, Ron Paul would be president. People on here are WAY off in Libertarian-land as compared to the general population. (not saying this is bad, just how it is)

Keep hoping, but this is so typical of the Democrats. They are going to piss away their slim majority (yes, Obama's victory wasn't earth shattering) as fast as old "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it" Bush pissed his down his leg.

I'm not hoping for anything. You made a statement that he could 'easily lose 10% approval on this'. When it was up for renewal last time (and was not renewed), it had two thirds or better support.

So yes, by all means please explain how the Democrats are going to lose their majority (which is not slim anymore) by enacting overwhelmingly popular policies.

his answer is clearly Keynesian Theory to jump start businesses, then stock market will (hopefully) come to a stablization. we didn't break down our stock market overnight , we can't fix it over night.

if you know a way to stop the breakdown, say it, else, forever keep your mouth shut!

I never made that statement, you have the wrong poster. I just replied to your comment.

But go ahead and think that subverting the bill of rights is a good thing and won't cost the Dem's any political points. Your dreaming again IMO. We shall see how this plays out, but no matter what happens I think the Obama administration has spent more of their political capital on this then they realize. Especially with the BS excuse they are trying to use to shove this down the people's throats. I think that is going to come back to haunt them.

Oh, you're right. My mistake. You're hopelessly naive if you think subverting the bill of rights doesn't have a long and storied history of scoring political points for parties though. They aren't shoving anything down people's throats, they are enacting overwhelmingly popular legislation.

They will GAIN from this, not lose from it. The hysterical, shrieking right will be the hysterical, shrieking right no matter what Obama and the Democrats do, and when you have 2/3rds support on an issue like this a large proportion of the opposition you have left is... you got it... the hysterical, shrieking right. Sure, there are plenty of regular people bothered by gun control too, but when you can please 65-70% of the population and only piss off say, 10% of the population you actually care about, it's a smart move.

I'm not entirely sure what the focus of the opposition to this legislation is anyway, half the people seem to be saying it was totally ineffective and that there were still many other gun options out there just as good as the 'assault weapons' it banned, and the other half seem to be saying it's depriving law abiding citizens of the ability to defend themselves. Which one is it? I personally am fine with anyone owning any gun they want up to say... M-60's and mounted .50 cal's. (at which point I find the tradeoff difficult to justify) No matter what I think though, it's not going to cost Obama and the Dems much other than some NRA donations.

THis post keeps getting my attention. So lame!!!
It took republicans here some 6-7 YEARS to figure out GW was a A-Hole.
But these same people, after 30 days (or less) have already made that decission
concerning Obama. The Limbaugh ditto-heads are sure stinking up the place lately!

It is Obama's fault he is the one spending money faster than we could ever print it. Maybe of Obama did what he says about fiscal responsibility. Instead he is like a kid who stole his dads credit card. He is just spending now just for the sake of spending. I will be paying for this record spending the rest of my life. The rich people don't have enough money to pay for all these new socialist programs. They will be coming for the middle class next.

Just asked Japan how this strategy worked... The only difference was Japan is a massive exporter of real products instead of exporting national debt and bullshit debt instruments like we do. The cards are stacked against us, Obama is behind the wheel of a sinking ship.

Obama has done more in 35+ days then Bush did in the last 4 years and your point is....?

You sir are ignorant the basic definition of economic stimulus is to SPEND. Once the economy turns around and the Bush tax cuts get reversed to stop screwing the people who actually WORK. Stop wasting BILLIONS in Iraq. We will be able to pay off the debt in short order.
