FTA: "The Gallup Organization survey found 68 percent of Americans approve of Obama's performance as the nation's chief executive. That's a number near the high end for new presidents, but short of President John F. Kennedy's 72 percent in 1961.""

Hello again my friend!! LOL, seriously I also am really happy with the way he has been handling things also.

But to be honest I feel it is going to get really bad economically before it gets better, I don't think people realize how hard it is going to be with 10% unemployment, all the small business going out of business and all the corporations losing money, this is a serious mess that bail outs can't fixx.-

I agree again Girlfriend, i don't think there's enough money to replace what Bush borrowed and spent in the middle east, on top of what he and Cheney pocketed.
Reply
You know, it almost looks like Bush deliberately left this country in the mess he did. I mean, when you think about it, his whole presidency seems to have been about revenge for Daddy. Saddam because of Daddy's old vendetta, and America because Daddy lost to Clinton.. I know it sounds like another conspiracy theory, but i have been feeling this way for a long time. All of his actions were so deliberate and calculated, it reeks of revenge. -

Eagle_Eye: You're right it has to get bad economically. The only cure for recession is recession itself. Recession is a natural and neccessary part of capitalism where the economy purges itself of wasteful, inefficient, poorly managed companies. The companies left afloat, will be the ones that are geared for success in the modern economic workforce. The same is true of the workforce. Our economy needs an overhaul and recession is the only way that will happen. Bush tried to use the Government to save the economy and that proved disastrous, and it looks like Obama wants to follow the same failed course. When will we learn?

Bush actually used the economy to enrich his and Cheney's cronies.
THAT worked fine.
He NEVER intended to help the American people.
What do YOU suggest other than allowing recession to lead to disastrous depression and utter collapse?
The Neocons on propeller and elsewhwere are salivating over the prospect of rampant poverty, looting and martial law.
We need some better ideas than that. -

I think Americans are very resourceful, resilient, and cooperative when they are treated with respect and told the truth about the challenges we face--economically and otherwise. I think Bush and the GOP did Americans and themselves a great disservice by downplaying the warning signs of practically up until the moment Bush was begging for money to rescue Wall Street. That showed extremely poor judgement, in my view.

Yes n2n. We have a great Treasury Secretary. Just a little problem paying taxes. He signed papers from his employer telling him he had to pay. His accountants told him he had to pay. Halfway through the time this occurred he was audited by the IRS and they told him he had to pay. He just ignored all of them. What a guy. Everybody should follow his lead after all he is now going to be over the IRS.

You have no more worries about Money. Just look at who the Treasury secretary is going to be. Just a little $42,000 tax problem where he ignored the company he worked for, his accountants, and the IRS who all told him in no uncertain terms that he had to pay. Aw so what. He paid as soon as he heard about being nominated for this post.

Obama has definately hit the ground running. So far I'm also very happy with his performance. What scares me is Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. I think that they more than the Republicans are more likely to mess things up for the President. The Democrats in Congress need to resist the temptation to lock the Republicans out of the process like they did to the Democrats when they had all the power. Only together and listening to each other can we heal this nation.

It appears that the Republicans according to John Bohner still want the same failed policies that have caused this economic chaos in the first place so how can you negotiate with an ideologue that support a failed policy? What the Democrats should do is work in a bipartisan environment but stand firm against proven failed policies. What gets me is the same people that are concerned about the taxpayers money wore blinders for the last eight years.

Republicans in Congress are their own worst enemy and their desperation is pitiful. They managed to rein in spending just fine when Clinton was in office but now they apparently think we're just supposed to forgive and forget that they ran the economy over a cliff by giving Bush a blank check for 8 years.

The Republicans delighted in keeping the Dems out of the loop. Now it's the Dem;s turn. As far as I'm concerned, every G-dam republican in the country can go sit in the corner and sulk while we try to get us out of their mess. WHY in hell should we listen to the repubs when THEY are the reason we're in this pickle? Deregulation, free market system, let the big boys do whatever they want, etc. etc. DOES NOT WORK!

I agree that we can't just let the Republicans come back to the table immediately after what they've done, that's not unity, that's foolishness. They need a time-out to realize how they f*cked up.

But I also believe we DO need to invite them back, otherwise we're no less partisan than they are. But we can't invite them back until they've learned their lesson, otherwise when the public gets unwitting enough to reelect one again, they'll just f*ck us all over again.

I think the better question is what do you think of all the Republicans that like him? Personally, I love him, Endo and please don't try to pretend you care about the IRS being cheated out of anything. We've all seen those infomercials aimed at cons looking for creative ways to skip out on their taxes. Anyway, I'm sad we sometimes have the likes of William Jefferson and Ted Stevens (thankfully both gone now) running our country but I believe honest mistakes do happen and I think the new Treasury Secretary is going to do a fine job.

Excellent insight. Throughout his tenure, they bent over backwards to justify Bush's failures or to ask us to await their eventual success or to ascribe blame to the Democrats who were never really in control. Now that Obama has taken office, every opportunity to forecast disaster is seized upon without delay.
Reply
I see a positive momentum building among most Americans that is going to restore this nation's self confidence and hurl us straight into the twenty first century with an emphasis on sustainable and shared prosperity. It can't come a moment too late. As Einstein said, we can' t solve our problems at the same level of thinking we had when we created them. The Republicans are the party of the past. They have yielded the future in deference to stale themes that have no resonance in a changing world.

Evidently you have been out of touch with congress lately. Unlike the Republicans, the Democrats think for themselves and there is already disagreement. That disagreement is what makes government work. Not the lock step Republicans we saw during the 12 years of Republican controlled congress.

You're dead on with that one. The Right is more the party of group think and unquestioning loyalty. That is why they have something called "ditto heads" who are proudly self anointed.
Reply
I have my issues with Obama. His unwillingness to support gay marriage being one. I also prefer John Edwards approach to health care versus Obama's and believe he should raise taxes on the top five percent of income earners as he promised in his campaign which he is waffling on now.
Contrary to what the right keeps espousing, most of us on the left don't believe Obama is our savior. Mostly we are just relieved that he possesses a modicum of sanity and decency unlike the moron who just left office. If Hillary or Edwards had won, I would be just as happy. Its like opening a door to a room that was stale from cigarette smoke stuffy air and stepping outside to fresh air and sunshine. Half of my enthusiasm is relief; the other is hope. But that hope is tempered by realism. Obama must navigate the politically charged waters where many Republicans will do their level best to prevent him from succeeding not out of belief that they are helping the American people but out of spite and a desire to see him fail. Just as Rush Limbaugh stated explicitly recently "I hope he fails". It demonstrates his values. He is more concerned with his BS ideology than the welfare of the American people. All who follow this line should be held to account for it by the American people.

--Why do cons ask nutball questions like this--as if you would even appreciate the value of criticism? Why does that even matter to people who say they revere Bush because he IGNORED criticism? You don't know anything about criticism. All cons want to do is sit back and watch for signs of conflict within the party so you can claim Democrats are imploding the way Republicans have been for the past two years--and you know this. -

Reply
can't speak for W, but the first time I met my upstairs neighbor, Larry, it was summer and he was shirtless
Midway thru the conversation I look down and, lo and behold, the man got 3 nipples
That was the first [and last] time I have seen that, and I was unaware of even the possibility, so I deserved an Oscar for acting like nothing happened and continuing the conversation, while inwardly, all my preconceptions of what constitutes reality were shattered and in free fall
I tell this so you may be spared any shock if a similar incident befalls you

BTW, once people started wearing nipple chains and the like, all I could think about when I heard Larry upstairs was isosceles triangles

He's supporting beefing up much needed security and infrastructure at our ports. He's supporting investing in our future energy needs. He's addressing our economy.

Dubyatard was in office for eight months before the economy tanked, but according to Dubyatards, that was Clinton's Recession.
Reply
The recession started over a year ago, but, according to Dubyatards this recession is Obama's, although he took the oath of office six days ago.
I noticed that FOXLIES reported on an AlQueda leader who was released from Gitmo that has rejoined his comrades, but little is said about the fact that he was released over a year ago.
Maybe the Dubyatards need a lesson in math, and a better understanding of the time/space continuum.-

First, the recession started in Clinton's administration.In July of 1999 the stock market had hit 11,313, but by March 7, 2000 it had dropped to 9796.03.It went back up some but then the stock market dropped from 10,843 on July 20, 2000 to 9,772 on January 18, 2001 (the last stock trading day of the Clinton era). That is a drop of 13% in the last 18 months of the Clinton Administration, So I think the arguement can be made that it started during the Clinton administration. Second, I don't hear anyone blaming O'bama for the present mess. Plenty of blame to go around. But he deserves none of it. Not so the Democrats, as the heads of the commitees in charge of banking and credit policy were Democrats and pushed the horiible lending practices that lead in large part to the financial collapse.

It was Reagan who started us down this road, demanding we deregulate business and keep our nose out of their affairs, and instead take away the power to negotiate of all of those bad old unions who were sapping these poor old multi national corporations with silly topics like rights and standards.

I'm in a a union and I know first hand the benefits of union representation. However, the autoworkers union is a classic example of a good idea gone bad. Their pay and benefits are a hell of a burden to carry The air trafiic controllers union should have known that Reagan wasn't going to let them shut down the country, but they thought they were bigger than they really were. Just where do you and all of your ilk think the Global vision of your party is going to lead. I'll point out that YOUR previous messiah Clinton signed NAFTA into law. If he thought it was so terrible he should have vetoed it. The unions are like minorities. Usefull patsies for a party the cares for there own power much more than the welfare of it's supporters. They are all politicians, Republican and Democrat and will do what they can to consolidate their power unless we, the people keep an eye on them. I wish O'bama success, because success is good for my country and me. But I trust him as far as I can see him and watch him.

It is a fact that the union auto worker makes around $75.00 an hour when all costs are figured in. It is also a fact that the most efficient auto plant in the US makes a car in 14 man hours of labor. ( a chrysler plant)
Reply
The least efficient is a ford plant which takes around 33 hours.
Do the math! this equals $1050 in labor costs to Chrysler, and less than $2500 for the ford plant. You could eliminate labor altogether and still their price change would be so minor it hardly would be noticed. When a car costs 30 to 40K, and the labor is less than 7% you have no right to gripe at labor costs!
You are going along with the GOP crowd who wants a scapegoat for the current automotive economic mess! Their problems are much bigger than this! -

We need to get Americans back to work in our own country and stop supporting countries like China,India and totalitarian regimes.

President Obama has his hands full. To have a 68' approval rating is beyond fantastic. Never, in the history of this country have we witnessed such economic catastrophic upheaval. This is just the beginning. Factor in a 6.5 percent unemployment along with the 6.0 percent underemployed. The only way out of this is to hurry as fast as we can to create new jobs. American companies need to expand their buisnesses here. The minority party is trying their best to stall this out. We have to speak out loud and clear to keep this ship afloat.

I believe that was a story about DHL in Wilmington Ohio. DHL is a German company that was allowed to buy out the local airport with alot of unkept promises to the city. Without govt. oversight this is just one of many to follow suit. I also believe DHL is only keeping their overseas contracts, again another sign of support for American companies that left the US. Since the imports are not being taxed according to law, we are losing even more money.

Typical con reporting because there were 23% that approve of Obama's handling of the presicency that would be added to the 45% that strongly approve.

However, Obama’s ratings remain far above those earned by his predecessor. President Bush left office with a final Presidential Approval Index rating of -28 (15% Strongly Approve and 43% Strongly Disapprove). Forty-four percent (44%) of Democrats believe that Bush and senior members of his Administration are guilty of war crimes.

I voted for Mr. Obama even though I'm a Republican, however I'm very disappopnted that one of his first acts in office was a proabortion executive order. Why is killing the unborn such a high priority with liberals? Also, this is really dumb politically for Obama since more than 50% of Americans do not favor abortion. The smart thing for a president to do is to stay out of the abortion issue. It will only divide the country and cause many people to dispise him. Somebody better tell him that he was not elected to impose his social agenda.

Unfortunately, you, like many Americans, were not given the information by the media about Obama's extreme pro-abortion stance.

It's very sad.
The media failed America in so many ways!
I agree with you that the Gov should stay out of our private lives.
Take care.

Looking ahead, listen to Peter Schiff! He called the financial disaster in the early 2000s and he was exactly right!
Schiff says that spending trillions more is the very last thing the Gov should do. He explains his position with facts and reason. No matter which side you are on... it is time to get beyond the petty bickering and name calling... please don't ignore this!

If you would like to see how perfectly Peter predicted the meltdown, while the other "experts" literally laughed at him, search "Peter Schiff was right 2006 - 2007 (2nd edition)". Over 1 million views and counting!
