Anyone else concerned

[avatar4321]

with the way people are trying Obama like a god? i mean it was amusing in the campaign but now its just starting to get downright uneasy

[Little-Acorn]

Naw.

The media and the usual disciples of modern liberalism all acted like salvation was at hand when Billary was inaugurated in 1993. Didn't last long. Won't this time, either, especially as their circulation numbers continue to tank - pretty soon they won't have enough money to print newspapers hailing the second coming.

I admired President Reagan, but I wasn't all ga ga over him..

I will always remember when they were driving Presidents Reagan's casket to his final resting place and the hundreds of cars and thousands of people who stopped on the roads to wave and salute..that was very beautiful..

the media has turned me off of watching any of this inauguration..and of course, I'm no fan of the little Marxist.

[Abbey Marie]

Little Acorn, this time really is different.

The "train" came through my state today. A black man in his 20's was interviewed on the news after he watched the train go by.

He said:
"If I die today. I'l die fulfilled because I saw this".

I haven't seen any politician treated like this. And he hasn't even done a thing yet.

Yes, Avi, I am concerned. I have been concerned for quite a while.

[LiberalNation]

for the black man he has shown that a black man can become president of this country.

as for the :tinfoil: stop being so paraniod.

[Gaffer]

The secret executions will begin in two years. The public ones in 4.

A news tip for ya - Barack is NOT a "black man"...

Nope not concerned at all. Same thing happened before you were born with the JFK campaign and election.

[Classact]

It will be so painful for some when he falls from glory and reality strikes. I think the honeymoon will not last four years and doubt it will for four months.

I think many are already feeling the pain. But that's not relevant to the OP post.

[5stringJeff]

It doesn't really concern me. The GOP acted in much the same way over Bush in 2001, as the Dems over Clinton in '93. Obama will prove himself to be human over the course of his term, and the hype will fade.

Jeff, I never heard anyone say anything approaching the quote I posted above when Bush was elected. What I did see was a "Yay, we won, hopefully we can see some good policy now" attitude prevailing. Ditto with Clinton.
The happiness seemed pretty typical for a winning side. This Messiah-like adoration for Obama, this hope that one man can actually change their lives, is something new in my lifetime.

[Silver]

Come to think of it, you're quite right...JFK was just about idolized, before, during and after the election of 1960....and his assassination just caused more and more adoration....course I was a Democrat back then, stationed in Gitmo and on alert for a Cuban attack....

No other election in recent history can compare to JFK's or Obama's.....not even close......

[Kathianne]

I'm not overly concerned and I do remember the 'Camelot' period, although I was very young, my parents volunteered for his campaign. However if memory serves, he came in when the economy was on the upswing, the country was united against an enemy, and there was no competition from the American production machine. For the most part, while not happy about losing and much discussion about Illinois and Texas 'stealing' the election, there was the idea that 'our president is Our President.' Then glamor and glitz kicked in.

Obama is facing very different times, economically and culturally. While many are willing to give him a 'chance' many are not. They don't care that his failure will cause a world of hurt, they are mad at 'the libs' and want retribution. I don't agree with much of what I'm hearing, for the same reasons I didn't like what the Bush administration did economically. More of the same, funny thing though, I think his biggest problems will be coming from Congress. (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5g0XX6Fpjt2oEv7OXQwjWIaE0qp6AD95PQ5N00)

You should be concerned about this:


Jan. 17 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush’s approval rating remains at a record low three days before the end of his presidency, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll.

Just 22 percent of Americans approve of Bush’s performance over the last eight years, according to the poll, published in today’s New York Times.

Bush Approval Rating at Record Low as Term Ends, NYT Poll Shows (http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20090117/pl_bloomberg/auteefyrozgu_1)

Twenty-two percent of Americans approve of Bush's performance?

That's really scary.

[Kathianne]

Outlier, but no surprise:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/polls/#rcp-avg-904

Average is 29, with most being in 30's, though NYT pulls avg down.

Do notice, the Congressional average for same period, is 21.7, lower even than what you a ballyhooing about. NYTimes though, doesn't bother about Congressional Approval, it's (D).

Now about the real possibility NTTimes will be in bankruptcy before the end of Spring, how's THAT going to be characterized approval wise? :laugh2:

First of all, Real Clear Politics is a rightwing propaganda site. It's not to be taken seriously.

Secondly, Congress has Republicans in it and they're obstructing the restoration. I don't approve of Congress' performance but it's not because I don't like what the Democrats are doing. It's because they're not executing Republicans.

Not so.

I'm all in favor of giving the Republicans a fair trial and then executing them.

I bet you wouldn't try arresting them alone, you yellow bellies will have to bring your little army of jackboots and brownshirts..

the reds are really yellow.

then WTF are you bitchin' about. this IS America's last day. it converts to socialism tomorrow. a one party system. you should jump in the air and click your hob nail boots together.

No it's not, it's your way of non-responsiveness. It's your way of avoiding the cognitive dissonance which is only the mind's way of seeking the truth, but never mind, be blind, ignorant, and a tool.

[stephanie]

Nonsense.

My disdain for rightwing PR sites is well-considered.

the liberals and Commies are sush HATERS.

where is all this we all "ONE" now..the Messiah has been elected.

oh I forget, it's either you're one of US, or you are nothing...:laugh2:

[5stringJeff]

I don't approve of Congress' performance but it's not because I don't like what the Democrats are doing. It's because they're not executing Republicans.

So if you don't like your political enemies, kill them? Should the Communist Party of the USA start shooting Democrats they don't approve of too?

People like you are a disgrace.

No it isnt. It's quite healthy for us to be concerned about what our leaders are doing. That way we keep ourselves involved and watch for dangers.

You see when people watch their leaders, their leaders cant pull anything over the people. It's only when the people start worshiping their leaders that abuses begin.

Himmler quotes:


Twenty-two percent of Americans approve of Bush's performance?


the democrap has dipped below 20% and going down


PRINCETON, NJ -- Approval of Congress has dipped below 20% for only the fourth time in the 34 years Gallup has asked Americans to rate the job Congress is doing. Today's 18% score, based on a May 8-11 Gallup Poll, matches the record lows Gallup recorded in August 2007 and March 1992.
Congressional approval started off the year at a depressed 23%, then dipped to 21% in March and 20% in April, before reaching the current record-tying low. The 76% currently disapproving of Congress is just shy of the record-high 78% in March 1992.

Democrats Not Backing Congress

One reason Congress is doing so poorly in the court of public opinion is that rank-and-file Democrats are providing no support cushion for the Democratic-controlled institution. In fact, Democrats are about as likely to approve of Congress as are Republicans: 20% of Republicans approve, versus 16% of Democrats.

Not only is that true today, but it has been the pattern in Gallup's monthly approval ratings of Congress since December 2007. Prior to that -- for the first 10 months of the new Democratic majority in Congress -- Democrats tended to express slightly higher approval than Republicans, averaging seven points higher. However, by contrast, during most of the Republican-led Congress from 2000 to 2006, Republicans' approval of Congress was substantially higher than Democrats'.





this is grounds for executing democraps. :flameth::flameth:

[Joe Steel]

Murder is unlawful killing. I'm not advocating unlawful killing. I'm advocating indictment, prosecution, conviction and execution of a lawful sentence.

Yes.

Supporting a rogue regime in a war which has killed 1,000,000 Iraqis and 4,000 Americans is of no concern.

[namvet]

don't forget the liberal democrap that mudered 58K in Vietnam

[Kathianne]

Yes.

You are a tool. Crickey!

[avatar4321]

Yes.

Supporting a rogue regime in a war which has killed 1,000,000 Iraqis and 4,000 Americans is of no concern.

There has been no rogue regime. And I highly doubt the Iraqi casualties are that high. Mostly because you're a known bs artist.

And going to war is not a capital offense according to any laws.

Murdering 150,000,000 people just because they disagree with your politics, however, would constitute a capital offense.
