    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.
    As a Democrat, I take solace in the fact that the Republicans have nominated the guy who lost the nomination to the guy who lost the presidency to the guy who is now the President.

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

    I don't think it'll last. Our brand of consumerist economy can't sustain itself.
    "While I am a great believer in the free competitive enterprise system and all that it entails, I am an even stronger believer in the right of our people to live in a clean and pollution-free environment. To this end, it is my belief that when pollution is found, it should be halted at the source, even if this requires stringent government action against important segments of our national economy."

    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.

    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.
