Obama's numbers in the gutter

[kage69]

Completely different circumstances.

I wasn't submitting that they were identical, just that the basis of re-election on the grounds of pissing off the opposition is hardly an accurate way to determine who wins future elections. The Cheney/Bush admin had this country far more polarized than it is now (not that it can't progress to that level or beyond in the future).

Sad, yet true.

Very...very true!

I always vote third part. Yup, I'm throwing my vote away (Not to vote for the 2 party cluster fuck).

Tho even if a 3rd party somehow managed to work it's way in it would still be SNAFU! Since you'd still have the machine of the house and senate already corrupted and voted in based on a two party system. So, if we could someone just get RID of every state government along with the federal house and senate all at the same time and get NEW people in. Short of a revolution then maybe. JUST maybe we would have a fine running government again.

Dream on!

Obama has managed to do something I never thought possible... he polarized the country even further than the media managed to do during the GWB&Co years.

Most of it's tied to the economy. I'm even getting fed up with him passing bills that'll cost instead of fixing the economy first. This shit about the Illegals at first had me worried about Civil Rights being abused but the more I read into it the more I find myself at odds with him. Also Pelosi and her cohorts isn't helping him either.

Don't get me wrong, even though I'm disappointed with him I'm under no allusions that the Republicans are any better, my memory isn't that short.

lol, yeah as if Bush and the Republicans had nothing to do with it.

Sure they did... but Obama is doing many of the same things GWB did (indefinite detentions and the like), with nary a peep from the same media that was vilifying the previous president. The media did it's best to undermine the president, as opposed to the current cheer leading.

That's because you are either delusional or suffering from a faulty memory, possibly both going on what I've seen you post before.
So you found a blog that shares your opinion, whoopty shit. Somehow you've forgotten or are dismissing the multitude of fvckups that Cheney/Bush performed and the outcry over it all. Obama is hardly doing everything right, but to put his admin on the same ground as his predecessor is the height of partisan silliness. You really should lay of the Faux and Friends, it's bad for you. When has Obama or anyone in his admin questioned the patriotism of those who dare disagree? That was a disgusting trend during the Bush years, to say nothing of the "my way or the highway" attitude towards politicial debate.

If Obama starts purging Repubs from government jobs, starts an elective war with fabricated intel, ignores a necessary war for 7 years, wiretaps Americans without warrants, flushes global support down the shitter, and screws the pooch on a disaster of Katrina-esque proportions with apathy and cronyism, THEN a comparison would fit and we could debate who has been more polarizing. Might have to add politicizing 9/11 and something on par with Plamegate as well though. The teabaggers loathing him for a variety of reasons (some legit, most lame and too late) doesn't even come close to making him as bad as Cheney/Bush.

I could give you a more detailed run down on what you seem to be dismissing, but if you linked that blog as some kind of proof then I know my efforts would be a waste of time.

Rasmussen does an approval tracking poll every few days BTW. Their new number is 48% approval, which is quite a jump upward from the 43% a few days ago. It's probably just statistical noise, as the broad tracking shows very little movement since late last year. The trend line is static. This thread is not news; it's a re-packaged gloat over the downward trend from May through September of last year.

That didn't stop people from criticizing Bush in matters he had no real control over. :hmm:

Like what? The response to Katrina?

 

[classy]

do we really need a new rasmussen poll alert every other day on how shitty whomever's numbers are?

Yes, we get the fact that you hate obama, and the democratic party in general but we don't need daily threads about it.

lol

If the flood in Atlanta had been 3 miles south Obama would have been there in a heartbeat. Instead it was in a white section of town, and the destruction was on the scale of Katrina. Did anyone bat an eye? Need I even answer that question?
