I can't wait to revisit this post, this time next month. you just don't believe - I, for one, am grateful to our personal deity. Barack directly just granted us all one extra hour of daylight. How can you doubt? HAHAHAHAHAHA Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Have you cared to look at how his numbers compare to past presidents? You may be surprised........... Actually, yes, I have: http://www.gallup.com/poll/113923/History-Foretells-Obama-First-Job-Approval-Rating.aspx Gallup poll Presidential approval rates after about 100 days in office: Nixon: 62% Carter: 63% Reagan: 68% Bush-1: 56% Clinton:55% Bush-2: 62% TIME OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again the topic is being changed. This wasn't about approval rating in the 100 days of office. This was about the most increasing disproval rating in the first 30 days in office. Stick to the subject. At this pace, there won't be anything left of Obama's ratings by the time we hit 100 days in office. He'll be just as radio-active as Bush was when departing Washington.

True, but Chapter 13 wouldn't be the answer. They need a Chapter 11 so they can get reorganized by the courts. It will allow GM to renegotiate those blood sucking, entitlement vacuum, UAW Union contracts. Between that and the cafe standards, I don't know how they even have a prayer. How do you feel about blood-sucking executives making millions while the company is going down the tubes? Or do you reserve your animosity for workers? You assume too much Jerry. I think coruption deserves justice. Like the issue with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the mortgage industry. Those executives should burn...... However, you are trying to link corruption with entitlement. Two different subjects. We need to work with you on your assumption issue.

Yes, the Wall Street Journal is definitely a left-leaning organization. PS I'd like some of whatever it is you are smoking. It's called Objectiveness Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

National sales tax and be done with it. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

OUCH.... that's gotta sting!!! I posted the gallup data of his first 30 days in office under the Obama Economy thread and it would appear that people are seeing that his track record as a politician is dominating his 20 weeks of campaign rhetoric. It never ceases to amaze me on how people were so easy to SELL during the general election. I would love to have Obama be my traveling salesman or marketing agent for my company.

Acutally the link shows down from 69% to 62% in the first 30 days. I do thank you for the feedback but what are your thougths on why he's had such a significant increase in displeasment and decrease in approval? Latest NBC/WSJ poll shows Obama approval 65%, GOP approval 26%. I'm sorry you are having trouble with understanding the link. I posted the Gallup poll which is known for being unbias in their sampling of data. NBC and WSJ always lean hard left as FOX leans hard right. Thus the reason for using the Gallup. (even sampling of Republican, Democrat, and Independent) Let me know if you have any questions about the Gallup link, I would love to get some feedback on why the country shifted so much in the first 30 days in office.

Well put!! Unfortunately we have a significant portion of people who feel they were cut from the entitlement fabric. United States of Gimme Gimme Gimme. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

That line alone is bollocks - Not EVERYONE is motivated by money, for a start. and it's just as well too ,otherwise there'd be no Nurses, Charity workers, soldiers etc.... etc.. Shropshire, I can respect your view on good hearted people as I too share a common respect for people who serve, but even those who volunteer still have to pay their personal bills, and that only comes with income. Whether they have a job or they're retired, they still need an income and it's an element of survival. Everyone is motivated to survive.... air & water may be free but food and shelter have a cost. Therefore the statement of being motivated by money is correct. I think you just misunderstood that for greed. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

I thought I would post this link to the Gallup poll to give some food for thought. I'm sure most of us would agree that Gallup has a reputation for being objective in their sampling. (they aren't CNN or FOX) They say this is the highest increase of job dissatisfaction for any president in the first 30 days of office. A 16% increase. Does anyone have any feedback on why that may be? http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Now that Obama is actually starting to share the details of the solutions he is pushing for, it's causing wide spread concern. People are questioning whether they will fix anything. Lots of doubt right now. Don't forget that when Obama was running, he did NOT detail how he was going to produce the change everyone "wanted". Your statement is perfect!!!!!!! All we heard was "CHANGE" but never the details. You know if I needed a good traveling salesman in my business, Obama would be my new hire. I remember what Senator Zell Miller from Georgia said in the 2004 RNC convention about John Kerry. "20 years of votes can tell you much more about a man than 20 weeks of campaign rhetoric."

Well you are entitled to your own opinion but I am an independent thinker my friend. I am self employed and have worked hard to network my services across the country. Lately, some of my prospects and current clients have had difficulty paying their mortgages due to certain hardships (death in family, reduction in income, divorce, medical, etc.....) and some of them have made comments about "I heard Obama is putting money aside to bail me out". I quickly made clear to them NOT to sit around and wait for uncle sam to pass out free money but rather take proactive measures to address their problems. No one will care for one's livelihood like one's self! Now I'm not sure if you know much about cash securities but when the Feds print money out of "thin air", it directly leads to inflation. It's no surprise why President Ronald Reagan warned about the dangers of leaving the Gold Standard. In close, people were doing much better before rolling the federal bailout joints and smoking them.

I read Dick Morris' letter today and I wanted to share it with everyone...... This I hope will be an eye opener for those who thought our current president would be anything other than just an American Idol. See below DickMorris.com President Lyndon Johnson's administration was known for his War on Poverty. President Obama's will become notable for his War on Prosperity. We're speaking, of course, of Obama's plans to hike income taxes on the most wealthy 2 or 3 percent of the nation. He's not just raising the top rate to 39.6 percent; he's also disallowing about one-third of top earner's deductions, whether for state and local taxes, charitable contributions or mortgage interest. This is an effective hike in their taxes by an average of about 20 percent. And soon the next shoe will drop - he'll announce that he's keeping yet another of his campaign promises: to apply the full payroll tax to all income over $250,000 a year. (Right now, the 15.3 percent Social Security tax only applies to the first $106,800 of income - you neither pay the tax on income above that, nor accumulate added benefit.) For many taxpayers in this bracket, this hike will raise their total taxes by about half. Finally, he's declaring war on investors by raising the capital-gains-tax rate to 20 percent. These increases are politically insignificant: The top 2 percent of the nation casts only about 4 percent of the votes, barely enough to attract the notice of even the most meticulous pollsters. But they have enormous economic significance. Those who earn more than $200,000 pay almost 60 percent of America's income taxes and account for a third of its total disposable income. If these spenders and investors are hunkering down, waiting for the revenuers to beat down their doors, their confidence will be anything but robust. Their spending will drop; they'll be unlikely to invest (except in new tax shelters). Franklin Roosevelt's presidency was marked by an emphasis on recovery in his first term and class warfare (which he called "reform") in his second. Campaigning for re-election in 1936, FDR famously declared, "I should like to have it said of my first administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match. I would like to have it said of my second administration that in it these forces met their master." Obama seems to have skipped the first-term FDR program and jumped right into the class divisions and warfare of the second. But the president would do well to remember that Roosevelt's assault on the rich led directly to the recession of 1937-39 - when unemployment soared back up to 19 percent. (It was brought down only by World War II.) Obama must realize that his tax hikes will dampen investment and consumer spending and prolong and deepen the economy's woes - this is presumably why he's postponing most tax hikes until 2011. But taxpayers, particularly wealthy taxpayers, are not dumb: They'll know what's coming, and look to secure the hatches in advance by sitting on their money. But then, Obama must also realize that his stimulus package, with its massive growth of government, is going to kindle huge inflation in coming years. And he surely realizes that he can't expand government health insurance as massively as he intends introducing rationing of medical services. He must know, but not care. Here is a president who would rather redistribute income than create wealth. He thinks it more important to grow government than to fight inflation. He believes that it is crucial to expand health care to the young and middle aged, even if it means cutting it back for the elderly. He's more committed to effecting "broad change" in his first term than he is to winning a second one. We have a president, in short, who will stand on his principles. Unfortunately, they're bad ones.
