Do you approve of President Obama's job performance?

[RandallFlagg]

As a child I had Clinton. America was awesome and could do no wrong back then.

As an adult I've had Bush and Obama. Bush brought America to its knees. And then Obama came and hasn't really done that much to get us off of our knees.

But when comparing the two, Obama's been a freakin genius compared to the previous administration.

God I hope the next one is good.

I sincerely hope that you will take this comment as it's intended - good naturedly.

"As a child I had Clinton" Aside from the propensity of Clinton to "have" children (Monica Lewinsky comes to mind immediately) I guess he wasn't horrible. That is if you don't count the millions of job sent to Mexico and Canada Via NAFTA....

I don't give a hoot in hell who the next clown is - as long as it isn't the murderer Clinton - we have no choice BUT to do better. If we don't - we are finished.

The Clinton years were good in my life I have also had the Reagan years which were good and Bush the elders years were decent Reagan and Clinton both had a key skill neither the younger Bush or Obama have the ability to work with Congress.

The GOP is always a disaster- Reagan's Voodoo has wrecked the nonrich and the country, gave Saddam and OBL their starts, Booosh I screwed Kuwait, Boooosh II wrecked the world. WTF IS WRONG WITH PUB DUPES ANYWAY.

How the hell is Obama supposed to lead a-holes like you....The world's laughingstock and horror...at least you're in the white party- and maybe the next one will ACTUALLY cut your taxes...so gd dumb.

I think we oughta credit Him for doing the best He can, given that with which He was born to work. Failure is not important, it's what's in His heart. That's what scary.

In his very short tenure as a Senator the bastard proposed a GLOBAL wealth redistribution plan for Americans to pay a tax that would FIRST go to the U. (Friggin) N. to siphon off their share then distribute to the third world nations.

That's the shit he has in mind for America.

A Socialist haven that will finally get over that nagging sticking point that came when all the other Communist leaders tried it and failed.

That nagging sticking point?

Human nature.

Yeah, Obama has it ALL figured out and he is going to be called the savior of the world.

I have absolutely NO USE for him.

And that's me being nice.

Free trade would work great if pubs would allow the investment in our work force which was intrinsic to the idea, and Pubs renegged on.. DUH.

*PSST* your life during those years were GOOD because you made them so not because some dipshit politician in the White House made them so .. in fact give yourself credit for success in spite of the machinations of the morons in Washington.

I assume that just about everybody in this room agrees that the

Democrats are wrong on just about every issue. Well, I'm here to propose to you that it's not "just about" every issue; it's quite literally every issue. And it's not just wrong; it's as wrong as wrong can be; it's 180 degrees from right; it is diametrically opposed to that which is good, right, and successful.

What I discovered is that this is not an accident. This is part of a philosophy that now dominates the whole of Western Europe and the Democratic Party today. I, like some others, call it Modern Liberalism. The Modern Liberal will invariably side with evil over good, wrong over right, and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success. Give the Modern Liberal the choice between Saddam Hussein and the United States, and he will not only side with Saddam Hussein; he will slander America and Americans in order to do so. Give him the choice between the vicious mass murderer corrupt terrorist dictator Yasser Arafat and the tiny and wonderful democracy of Israel, and he will plagia*rize maps, forge documents, engage in blood libels--as did our former President Jimmy Carter-- to side with the terrorist organizations and to attack the tiny democracy of Israel.

It's not just foreign policy; it's every policy. Given the choice between promoting teenage abstinence and teenage promiscuity--and believe me, I know this from my hometown of Hollywood--they will use their movies, their TV shows, their songs, even the schools to promote teenage promiscuity as if it's cool: like the movie American Pie, in which you are a loser unless you've had sex with your best friend's mother while you're still a child. Conversely, NARAL, a pro-abortion group masquerading as a pro-choice group, will hold a fund-raiser called "'F' Abstinence." (And it's not just "F." It's the entire word, because promoting vulgarity is part of their agenda.)

Can't blame Obama for lying. It's the Republicans' fault he had to do that, and of course the stupid citizenry who weren't bright enough to understand that what he planned to do to them was in their best interest. But mostly the Republicans.

28- deep

 

[Mojo2]

His ''failures'' are all due to the mindless new bs GOP'S PURE OBSTRUCTION. After 5 years, at least everyone's sick of the brainwashed far RW which has been running the GOP and the country ragged...and is about 75 per cent of this board.

A little GOP compromise and we could get somewhere...O-care is just fine, hater dupes...see first sentence- ditto, plus the crony insurers and businessmen, and that gd website, now working..

You're losing 13-1. Not so good for you.

Obviously USMB is way inclined to brainwashed RW tinfoilers and racists.... Same reason the craziest hater dupes have the highest rep- it's nothing like reality....Perfect for my ends- I'm writing a book that will show the insanity of our RW, WILL BE SEEN AS FARCE AROUND THE WORLD LOL...

If you start with the fundamental premise of your political philosophy no one will ever buy your book.

They will realize by looking at history that it doesn't work and can't and never will.

Here's a reminder, Brainiac.

[ TITLE: 11pm, JULY 25th 1967 ]

PRESIDENT LYNDON B. JOHNSON: Law and order have broken down in Detroit, Michigan. Pillage, looting, murder…

VO: Only a few years before, President Johnson had promised policies that would create a new and a better world in America. He had called it “the Great Society.”

[ TITLE: President LYNDON JOHNSON, 1964 ]

JOHNSON: The Great Society is in place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind. It is a place where the City of Man…

VO: But now, in the wake of some of the worst riots ever seen in America, that dream seemed to have ended in violence and hatred. One prominent liberal journalist called Irving Kristol began to question whether it might actually be the policies themselves that were causing social breakdown.

IRVING KRISTOL: If you had asked any liberal in 1960, we are going to pass these laws, these laws, these laws, and these laws, mentioning all the laws that in fact were passed in the 1960s and ‘70s, would you say crime will go up, drug addiction will go up, illegitimacy will go up, or will they get down? Obviously, everyone would have said, they will get down. And everyone would have been wrong. Now, that’s not something that the liberals have been able to face up to. They’ve had their reforms, and they have led to consequences that they did not expect and they don’t know what to do about.

Silt 3.0: Baby It's Cold Outside (first half)

They’ve had their reforms, and they have led to consequences that they did not expect and they don’t know what to do about.

And now you want a chance to show how you can not make it work. After all the others haven't not made it work.

Give it up Buh'weat!

Your fundamental premise is what is insane.

 

[francoHFW]

Tell me an Obama lie that isn't a promise that Pubs or their crony insurers didn't break...that's not a lie, hater dupes. See sig para 3 for factual lies, ie anything Pubs tell you idiots...

 

[francoHFW]

31- WTF are you talking about...Nixon wrecked the Great Society and Vietnam happened to drug use...so gd dumb. How's the Pub War on Drugs going lol...

Sure would be easier to sell books to the brainwashed RW- ask Anne Coulter or Beck etc etc...

Don't try to change the subject, silly one.

Admit that your Left Wing, Liberal, Leftist, Socialist, Communist, Progressive ideas and agendas are nothing more than a lame, insane attempt to re-try what has happened over and over again throughout the 19th, 20th and now 21st Century.

And it hasn't YET worked.

And now you want to try it again.

What was the lesson in the film War Games?

After playing a million tic tac toe games the computer figured out that the game can't be won.

And yet you think THIS permutation of the Liberal Utopia will somehow be successful because Obama is doing it.

You are all loons.

You epitomize the tired but true definition of insanity:

Repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting a different outcome.

Get on your battle ship and cruise to an island and try your hare brained schemes there and let us get back to living successfully without having to tolerate your mental handicaps.

Okay?

 

[NightFox]

Can't blame Obama for lying. It's the Republicans' fault he had to do that, .

Personally I blame his Royal Lie In Chiefs fast and loose attitude with the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth on ATMs, Japanese Nuclear Plant failures, low level IRS employees in Cincinnati, George W. Bush, the Tea Party, Earthquakes on Venus and the fucking climate not cooperating with his pet "scientists" computer models...

Basically reality has really conspired to suppress his innate greatness, just ask him and he'll spend hours and hours (and yet more hours) bitching about how if only Fox News would stop raining on his parade he'd save the Universe from itself.

 

[Mojo2]

All of those authors and all their books have as a foundational premise a set of principles WHICH HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO WORK!

Something you are missing.

Something YOUR hero's books are missing.

Something your smartest messiahs won't admit to you.

Go and sit in the Great Pumpkin Patch all nite long til your big sister drags you off to bed.

There ain't no Great Pumpkin for you!

Let's have a poll here and see where USMB stands on this.

It depends on which way you look at it.

If you want America to return to it's former greatness, he sucks

If you want America to become socialist, he is doing great.

The communists and socialists love him, so he must be doing something they like.

The radical Muslims (Muslim Brotherhood) are no doubt pleased with his foreign policy that is geared to assist them in their quest to take over.

If you're a government dependent, he seems awesome for increasing welfare and claiming to go after the big, bad wealthy people.

If you're one of the real 1%, you know he's really in your corner and you'll come through with big time donations like the unions and Soros will do.

If you're an average American, chances are you lost your health care and your job is insecure if you still have one.

I think he's awful, just like other liberal lawyer presidents were awful.

When does Obama ever hang out with muslims, socialists, or communists? Even Bush hung out with his muslim boyfriends at the ranch. Not Barry. Soros, Bill Ayers, or reverend Wright haven't visited the white house yet. They call Obama, but he won't return their calls. Obama surrounds himself with one percenters and appoints them to the important jobs. Someone put out this b.s. about Obama being radical and you suckers fell for it hook, line and sinker. Obama's job is first and foremost to defend the status quo, Goldman Sachs, the banks, and the multibillionaires and he's been doing that job pretty well so far.

The big challenge for any post 1973 presidency is how to revive the great postwar middle class without credit cards and debt.

During the great postwar period - an unprecedented period of middle class expansion - Americans flocked into Main Street businesses and kept them afloat through robust consumption... because American Labor enjoyed higher wages and benefits than any working class in history. Then Reagan, who seized upon the OPEC induced stagflation of the late 70s, decided that high labor costs were strangling capital investment and dampening economic growth.

As a result, America traded manufacturing plants (which were shipped to cheaper labor markets in Asia) for shopping malls (which were kept in business not by solid wages but MadterCard Visa and American Express).

The Great American Middle Class - the envy of the world - died when we shipped our manufacturing dominance to China. After shipping their jobs overseas, we tried to keep our middle class alive for 30 years by the most steroidal expansion of credit (debt) the world has ever seen. We replaced wages with credit. That experiment ended in 2008, under George W Bush, when consumer debt finally reached a tipping point. Americans, in record numbers, were spending more than they earned. It got so bad that they turned to the last thing left with any value - their homes. This resulted in a meltdown of epic proportions. Now ...there simply are not enough solvent consumers left to drive domestic consumption.

Had Obama successfully destroyed the health insurance monopoly that had been bankrupting middle class consumers for years, his presidency would have been a spectacular success. Unfortunately, he was defeated. He lost the only real battle available to him.

Game over.
