    Why are Obama's ratings going down? I thought this quote summed it up well.

    "Americans are waiting for him [Obama] to deliver real substance. Cotton-candy speeches produce sugar highs but aren't politically nutritious."

    He finished his first year at 50% which is higher than Reagan's and there is only one reason why GWB finished his first year as high as he did.

    How about posting some facts instead of empty rhetoric.

    His ratings are down because much of America prefers immediate results over long-term strategies.

    Because the electorate just doesn't understand what's good for them and is far too stupid to comprehend that everything that the Left is proposing, either at Obama's behest or with his tacit support, is ultimately the way of the future.



    If only all those stupid Americans that disagree with Obama' world view, let's face it that most all of them that disagree have made choices to be ignorant racists, would shut up and let their Socialist Overlords do whatever they want.

    Ironic. The tossing around of the word "socialism" and "fascism" interchangeably exudes thought and reason.

    His numbers are going down and down at a steady and predictable rate. They will continue to descend as the economy will continue to descend as the Dems continue to spend and borrow. It was made clear with the debt ceiling and increased tax bill that the Dems passed last week, that they did not learn anything from the recent election of Brown.



    the people have seen enough of Obama's failed policies.
    I said no side photos!!

    The ruling party's agenda exudes something... more like delusional arrogance rather than thought and reason.

    Like interchanging the words "fascism" and "socialism"?



    And if the Democratic party is arrogant, you seem to forget George W Bush swaggering us into Iraq.



    So you picked your team. Good. Some don't play the game.
