Obama Approval Ratings Moving Up

Reader Comments
Back to blog

As I drove to work last night, I listened to the radio and heard about the Republicans revival of Contract with America. I have to wonder, is this country ready for democracy? It seems to me that so many are led by the nose and have no idea where their own interests or those of the country lie. All that came to me as I listened was snake oil! I would like us to start thinking about the concept of enough in diet, possessions, earnings, expectations. Knowing you have enough, however much that is, brings tremendous contentment. I don't find living in anger very rewarding, it gives me indigestion and an inability to enjoy my job. At each moment the choice is mine, and yours. What a waste of the energy of life, to spend it berating others. Of course, if this brings you joy, ignore my ideas but if you live with the taste of bile, try something different!

if you want to skew the results of a poll in your direction, you simply ask the questions in a way that pushes the respondant in the direction you want. You say, Do you approve of Obamas performance in spite of the dirty underhanded tricks of the opposition? and thereby you move the numbers a few points . Dishonest? Sure, but they do give campaign money to the Democrats, and in return, Obama gives them grants to do research! Want a different result? Vote Them Out!

Anyone currently supporting Obama is ignorant of what he really is. I do not say ignorant as a slur. They just don't know what is going on. Obama is a globalist. His goal is to implode our economy, bring in so may foreigner's, mexican's, muslims, indians (from India) that we lose or national identity, increase unemployment and any other woes that can be heaped on us till we are ready to be handed over to world government, the United Nations.
Our constitution and bill of rights will be replaced by international law.
That's a bunch of conspiracy theorist drivel, right? Wrong. I did not believe it at first. Make a real study before you come to a decision. A good place to start would be reading 'Final Warning: A History of the New World Order by David Allen Rivera or 'The Unseen Hand' by Ralph Epperson. I would also suggest listening to Alex Jones at his Internet sight 'Infowars'. 'Infowars' gives the appearance of kookiness at first but, listen to some of the interviews with his guests and you will learn something.

You are one of the idiot Democrats that will not even read or absorb what damages this IDIOT has brought onto the AMERICAN people.
GET A LIFE.

I have just scanned 4 other sites showing this pres at an all time low of anywhere between 41 to 43% and this article has him at 49%. Other than democrates, and those had to be selective, who else did they poll. They certainly did not get a true cross section.

It is a damn shame that we as people don't see what is really happening, this is america a country build on the backs of free lable. Yes I voted for Mr Obama then an will again why because I see what he is trying to accomplish, but it is clear to me that if John Boehner and his bunch including the damn tea party either sh@# are get of the pot an let Mr. President do his job, things can and will move forward. My question is where was the tea party when Georgie Bush was lineing the pocket of all his friends encluding his own, I don't care what Sharah Plian say come on the b#$%c* is dumm as dirt, she talk all this we the people s*$t why because she knows that what the tea party followers hear is we the white people and a few stupid blacks ones the still belive that if a white man is not running thing we are all dom will guess what it was a house full of white men that got us in this mess. I live in redneck oklahome and let me tell you for the most part the only reason they didn't vote for Mr. Obama is because the color of his skin, I feel if he was a white man trying to get the same bill and laws pass he would not be having such a hard time. think about it Mr. Bush was and still is the the biggest f^&k up ever and the republican put up with his stealing to elections staring a war all because what was his first reason cause somebody tried to kill his daddy, will he and is daddy should learn how to handle their own crap. But yet, we have fox news, cnn, Jonn Boehner, Glen Beck and by the way where is Rush? This is sad that we are the first to try to tell others how to run their country and here in American men are still judge by the color of his skin. Look like they replaced their sheets with ties and grey suits.

forgive me for saying fools are born every day. if you believe the economy was so easy to fix why did you vote dem. who could have done better at that time. the recessing was gonna happen regardless. it happens every decade check the history. this guy took on the challenge everybody new it was a difficult one. all the spending we done hurt us bad also with the turn of unexpected things happening that were costly to repair and the outreach program if you know what i mean cost. we took advantage of monies, thats what got us in this mess dude. just because you never saw it coming doesn't make it bams fault for trying to get us back on course. example plane is taking a nose dive the co- pilot is trying to pull up. who's at fault the pilot or the co-pilot for losing control okay while your sh-----g in your pants theres passengers praying the plane levels off they are wondering why all the fighting and arguing just level off and land this baby get it !!!! after math plane lands and pilot gets the credit. WAKE-UP !!!!!

let me enlighten, by saying how are american so quick to judge we as a people need to support our own, with out this you show the world your weakness ! the strength is in numbers, some say letters. heres a example take your mercedes in for a quick fix and see if you don't wind up paying for a wreck or visa'-versi take your wreck in for a quick fix and see if that may even prove better in the long run ! if you chose any of the above your simply wrong ! there is no magic here no whodini ? what you have is a chance to change the wreck in detailed timing. the guy that walks the path of after guy before him knowing the challenge is noble. some want to prove him wrong on many basis, saying that he can't provide balance in many places so distract him and challenge him in front of all the races. but it simply comes down to the song smiling faces. hey!!!!! is this the united states ? then act like it, BOND in the long run fine tuning while repairing a wreck has a 98 percent success rate ! time to stop judging a book by its color speed reader and study the content ! the title of the book is THINGS ARE CHANGING get it ??? americans think and favor. remember the last book you read ? how it started and how it ended. what did you like the most as a summery of the last book (HYPO-WRECK) the begging or the end ???

Excuse you but 70% of the country is opposed to this fool's socialist policies and the dems will be toast in November. Not sure about you but personally I was much better off over the last 8 years and I voted for Obama. I won't be fooled again though. He has turned our country into a sh*thole.
