Rasmussen has a poll that shows only 37% approve, 43% disapprove.

Or this:

"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 37% favor the legislation, 43% are opposed, and 20% are not sure.

Two weeks ago, 45% supported the plan. Last week, 42% supported it.

Opposition has grown from 34% two weeks ago to 39% last week and 43% today. "

A real majority. ;)

why does he have such a hardon for computerizing healthcare? he seems to mention it almost as much as he says that failing to pass his stimulus package will lead to the end times.

Uhmm, the forms you fill out aren't the problem.

Oh and for everyone else throwing out polls, Gallup seems to disagree with Rasmussen and pegs support for the current package at 52% or so.

In context, what he said was " Governor Crist shares my conviction that creating jobs and turning this economy around is a mission that transcends party. When the town is burning, we don't check party labels. Everyone needs to grab a hose"

He was adding to what Gov Crist was saying when he introduced President Obama, that this is not a party issue, that everyone - no matter what party - steps up to help.

When you buy your hose...if you find you don't actually use it, just store it with the plastic sheeting and duct tape that YOUR former president told you to buy.

OMFG! Terrerests! Buy plastic sheeting and duct tape!!

The sky is falling!

and the faithful sheeple went out and bought plastic sheeting by the roll...and duct tape by the case.

I dont think Barak Obumma even knows how to write a stimulus bill or even knows what is in it. He is out of touch with the American People. All he knows is tired slogans with an idealogical message.

While someone like yourself, who can't even spell his name right, can? He isn't out of touch with the American People, he's out of touch with the right wing morons like yourself who can't understand basic concepts.

Yeah i agree, let's do nothing, just wait it out, something will make things all better. I've increased my tithing so I'm sure that will get us somewhere.

Must be a "heavy flow" day for the OP.

Wait wait wait. Are you saying that if you listen to all of what a person says and not just part of it that you get a different message than if you just pick and choose small snippits of information? Well that's just crazy talk! I think the proper way is to latch on to a small something and bitch about it on a public forum because I'm just too damn stupid to understand how the economy actually works.

Not sure, I pay out of pocket for medical insurance and haven't had to much trouble.

99.9% of people don't know enough about the situation to even give an educated guess about what is right.

I don't dispute that but it isn't relevant to what I was responding to. A good leader has the ability to rally support, no?

I guess you didn't mind the 8 years of having something else rammed down your throat though. You have strange priorities.

Fluff Slogan Slogan... Fluff Fluff Fluff.. Slogan Slogan Spit.

And how did the country oppose Bush's spending? By giving us Obama's spending.

Now people like to claim accountability is the great benefit of centralization of power. "By the people" and crap. How do we hold these two major parties accountable AT ALL if either one is guaranteed victory every election?

There is ZERO accountability, we're no better off than if we had a king.
