Obama’s Approval Rating Matches Two-Year Low - Headed for Bush Lows

Obama had a chance for greatness -his platform when he ran was "post partisan" and then he became one of the most partisan WH's I can recall.

He promised not to hire lobbyests -and did so. He certainly gave the appearence of not being a neo-con, then promptly followed/escalated Bush's policies.

He could have been a revolutionary - someone whom spoke like he did at the Kerry convention - i don't think he has the desire to do anything but play it safe.

So he's "so so", what slays me is those whom cannot accept him as such - the Obamaites who play the monkey whom can "hear no evil (criticism)" about Obama.


Then there are the ever shrinking Republicans whom are worse - out to sabotage him from the beginning.

US politics is shrill/boring/and predictable -why I don't even follow it all that much anymore- finding international affairs at least interestingly non-predictable.

You asked me a question .. I gave you an honest answer .. but because my answer makes sense, you don't want to accept it.

I have no 'pathology' about Obama nor anyone else .. and if I may good sister .. there is a glaring difference between our perspective thoughts about politics.

I don't vote based on political party, race, gender, advertisements, speeches, group think, pundits, or meme. I vote based on information, thus I study everyone I vote for. The reason that I've been right about Obama is because I studied him .. you did not.

The 'pathology' most Americans have is that they vote like lemmings, never taking the time to actually study candidates and issues, opting for the sound bites instead.

I don't have that problem.

where have you been right about him?
 
Obama will go down as one of the greats.


its complete crap and a thousand fake scaandals.


No human being does everything perfectly.


Obama is a human being.


He is not perfect but hes done things that were undoable for decades.


You will come around but will never admit it

No he stopped supporting him early on, well before the 08 election. I had several fights with him about it because I didn't want McCain. I still believe Obama is better than McCain and Romney, for sure, but he's been a grave disappointment. And it's true that he's a big phony. Also, he has purposefully, IMO, exploited the fact that white liberals would view a black Democrat as more to the left than a white Democrat. He did very well in the primaries playing white boys like pianos with that. Remember how many of them worshipped him and hated Hillary. I remember Krugman writing that actually Hillary's domestic policies were slightly to the left of Obama's and he later spoke of the hate mail he got from white liberal males. They went sideways on anyone who didn't worship Obama.

But Obama knew all this, and he played all this. He's really pretty much a dick.

He played a lot of white gals that way too... funny how you pretend it was just a bunch of white guys he was playing.

Again, not everyone can eat in those expensive restaurants and thumb their noses at the little people like you do. Thus, when someone pushes a myth as fact, it is wise to correct them.
