Obama: 'New' or 'business as usual?'

There are two things that could relate to the president's positive approval ratings: living in a cave or living in a cave drinking the Obama kool-aid.

As each week passes, the entire planet is getting more and more disappointed with his pandering, false promises, narcissistic speeches and listening to Don Fitzgeralds incoherent rants.

Republicans have shed a fifth of their membership just since Pres Obama took office in Jan.

And yet they're still dragging their knuckles and pounding their chests about how they're going to kick the Dems butts in 2010 and how Obama is going to be a one termer etc.....hahaha!

The louder the Repugs yell, the smaller they get.

.
Only 20% Identify As Republicans

Only 20 percent of adults identify themselves as Republicans, little changed in recent months, but still the lowest single number in Post-ABC polls since 1983. Political independents continue to make up the largest group, at 42 percent of respondents; 33 percent call themselves Democrats.

The corporate media talking points buying into Republican bravado about gaining seats next year are even more brain-dead than usual, since the indications are all going in the opposite direction. Even if the economy turns south again, where are voters going to turn? Republicans have so discredited themselves that they are very nearly disqualified as as alternative.

CNN Poll: GOP favorable rating lowest in a decade

From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser

WASHINGTON (CNN) – The Republican Party's favorable rating among Americans is at lowest level in at least a decade, according to a new national poll.

Thirty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say they have a favorable opinion of the Republican Party, with 54 percent viewing the GOP negatively.

Carrot Top,
First of all, Obama's poll numbers are fine, but even if they weren't, the Repugs don't have anyone credible to run against him anyway. And secondly, thanks for letting us know you live in a cave. I've always suspected you right wing mouth-breathers were cave dwellers, now I know for sure.

No, you want to see business as usual, particularly if you tune into our Senate hearings, on CNN, right now. We have that great savior of our tax dollar, Senator Colburn,( R-L, OK ) demanding that the entire amendment of Senator Sanders' amendment, which calls for a single payer plan, through the present Medicare program, to be read. That is 336 pages, that should take the entire day of Senate business. That is what Senator Colburn might hope passes as cleverness, or being cute. In any case, he continues to waste taxpayer's dollars. The reading is normally dispensed with and those interested, can read it, at their leisure. Instead, we have the entire Senate shut down, for this meaningless exercise in petulance, at the taxpayer's expense. Way to go, Senator Colburn, your duplicity is only out-distanced by your meaninglessness !! I am sure you will continue to show your innovativeness when it comes to wasting our tax dollars. You are a discredit to your state and to our nation. Your fascism is showing, once again !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Obama flip flops like a top. He said a lot of things in his campaign that never took place. He's all "smoke and mirrors". His speech on sending the troops as asked by the general put the cadets to sleep, but he had to try to please his liberal left by saying 18 mos. and it will end and had to send SOME troops or he would have a riot on his hands. Promising everything and delivering nothing. Trying to rush the health bill through, never mind if we have to pay people off to get it passed, hopefully we want have to pay any more 300 million pay offs like we did with Mary Landrieu from Louisiana! The tax payers can't take it. Now he has made a deal with Pharma that if they would promise to spend at leat 150-200 million to help PUSH health care through he may forget his campaign promise of the American people that they can purchase prescription drugs from other countries. On the news yesterday. He has spent more money than any other President in the history of the US.

Yet another blow to Obama, from the Gallup Poll:
"Americans remain opposed to closing the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba and moving some of the terrorist suspects being held there to U.S. prisons: 30% favor such actions, while 64% do not."

And a Dec. 10th Pew Poll also helps explains why 49% approve Obama. Twice as many Liberals/Democrats as Conservatives/Republicans say they've seen ghosts, consult fortune tellers, and believe in astrology. See http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1434/multiple-religious-practices-reincarnation-astrology-psychic?src=prc-latest&proj=peoplepress for the details.

Don Fitzgerald has incoherent rants?!?!?!?!?!? I thought they were just useless meanderings from a typical clueless Loony Lefty!
Anyway, speaking of clueless, Obimbo is and always has been just another dirty, corrupt Chicago Democratic politician who practices the worst kind of partisan politics.
Obimbo was a do-nothing useless state senator. He was a do-nothing useless U.S. senator. And, as president he is just plain embarrassing, ridiculous and dangerous. And that is among the many reasons most Americans want him out NOW!

Springfield,
Don is in the cave with the "health insurance clerk assassins."

Obummer is just a typical politician that will lie and tell you what he needs to in order to get your vote. If the press hadn't been in the hot tub with him, people would have known him for who he is. Now we have to find out the hard way, and democrats will pay in the next election.

Another poll results the White House, and agenda-driven journalists, won't want you to know: the latest NBC/WSJ poll has support for ObamaCare down to 32%, versus 47% opposed.

There are two things that could relate to the president's positive approval ratings: living in a cave or living in a cave drinking the Obama kool-aid.

Ya well Springfield, Obamas ratings are still higher than Bush's 34% when he was booted out of the White House! Guess all you wingnuts were busy in your caves still looking for OBL!

SOUNDS LIKE BUSINESS AS USUAL . . .

Robert Gibbs Knocks the American Public as Irrational
Gibbs, at the press briefing today: "I don't think any rational person would say killing a bill is better at this point."

Today's NBC/WSJ poll:
Just 32 percent say it's a good idea, versus 47 percent who say it's a bad idea.

In addition, for the first time in the survey, a plurality prefers the status quo to reform. By a 44-41 percent margin, respondents say it would be better to keep the current system than to pass Obama's health plan.

By comparison, in September's and October's NBC/Journal polls, the American public preferred changing the system to the status quo, 45 to 39 percent.

We're all anti-statist, wacky tea-partiers now, thanks to the White House's 10-month push against the status quo. Impressive work by a crack communications team.

HOW'S THAT HOPEY/CHANGEY THING WORKIN FOR YA?

KEEP SWIMMING UPSTREAM, DEMONCRATS. WHAT'S THE LINE? IF YOUR OPPONENT IS RUINING THEMSELVES, CERTAINLY DON'T STAND IN THEIR WAY!!!! WAY TO GO LOONY LIBS!!!

Bobby Mobbie aka Teresa,

Your right wing propaganda would be more believable if everyone on here didn't already know that you're a hired shill for the GOP.

Try again, Rush.... I mean Teresa.

Hats off to Seantor Colburn for reading the Sanders Amendment, otherwise how would the dems understand the "big words"?

HEY K;

I AM NOT A HIRED SHILL. JUST A CONCERNED CITIZEN THAT WANTS TO PROVIDE A MORE BALANCED VIEW THAN THE LIB SWAMP. GOT IT?

THANKS,

BOBBY

HEY "BOBBY MOBBIE" AKA TERESA,

NO, YOU'RE A HIRED RIGHT WING SHILL, AND YOU POST YOUR CRAP ALL OVER THE INTERNET ON VARIOUS POLITICAL SITES EVERY SINGLE DAY. SAME STUFF, WORD FOR WORD.

You're only problem on here is that I've busted you for who you really are and what sock puppets you use.

These are the sock puppets you've used just on this one thread:
.
- Bobby Mobbie
- Jenny
- The White House never invites me for sushi
.

If this was my web site I would ban you.

The corporate aristocrats' foot soldiers in congress have shown America that elections don't matter; they're still in charge.
Distractions and emotionally charged words such as
" socialism" and " death squads" and American vs. American has allowed the corpo-fascists to dig their talons in even further into each and every one of us.

Keep telling yourself that. But, history says they are the lower for any president in their 1st year. And that is without Obamacare & Cap and Trade. How low will they go then?

If nothing else, " K ", the multi-personality, he or she, certainly keeps it light and entertaining. I am always amused whenever I see him or her posting the nonsense that she/he does. When you are finally finished amusing us, Mr/Ms Multi-personality, I suggest you seek some professional help. You should see if you can bring those various personalities to a controllable number, if not eliminated altogether, for the good of your own mental health !! My suggestion, of your seeking professional help, is offered in good faith and I hope you at least consider it !!
If you don't consider my suggestions, than I look forward to more of your amusing posts, they are hilarious !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

TrickledOn.

Glad I can't can count on my proofreader for catching my typos. You are adding a lot of value to society.

Always Wrong,

"Distractions and emotionally charged words such as
" socialism" and " death squads"" Would that also include words such as "corporate aristocrats" and "corpo-fascists"?

Anyway, to your dull point - "corpo-fascists dig their talons in even further into each and every one of us." You can always choose which corpo-fascist digs its talons into you. However, there is only one gov't that can sink its claws into you. I will tell you, the gov't is the one that sinks its claws into me more than any corpo-facist.

If you don't like corpo-facism, walk away from it. It's called freedom
