Sure, that's what I'd do too.:thumbsup

An election result by itself can affect the economy.

And btw to all those He will be 2 termers lol

You haven't proven anything aside from your bias and ignorance. Don't act like you've accomplished something.

And in the general approval/disapproval Obama is still upside down.

I don't have to accomplish anything. I'm not the president. Maybe you feel you can or have accomplished more. Not sure LOL :1orglaugh

Your fake chart don't mean shit. I can come back here with a photoshop saying everyone wanted ET instead of Reagan. So what?

I thought you had work to do. Guess you're a little guy too huh?

You right-wing nut-job guys better start stocking up on valiums, because Obama will your president for 2 terms - guaranteed! That's a lot of stress you will have to manage.

Hotlinked from the site with a link to the poll results. Obama lit the fuse people needed to get him right out of office. Trust me the pendulum is swinging away from the left right now.

Make sure you duck, cause a pendulum swings in both directions and fast!

Poll results, what a joke! Poll results and reality tv. The guy got voted into office cause more people like his bull than that other bull, and it wasn't even close, unlike that 2000 florida poll fiasco.

A minor blip and mostly short term gains/losses on Wallstreet more than actually effecting the root performance of the economy...

What we're seeing now isn't a result of the President now or the President 5 years ago....

In my opinion it's a problem with over regulation of the economy and the choices made to regulate the economy...

Railing against the current President is justified in my eyes if he isn't taking action to correct the problems or taking action which an individual feels will adversely effect the economy.

In the end, the "correct" things to do are really all guesses. I subscribe to the Austrian School of Economics so I believe that due to the massive "randomness" of human interaction with the market it is virtually impossible to predict how inserting non organic change into the market will effect said market. Instead, the system of regulation should be setup to allow freedom of choice at all levels but make sure no fraud is taking place. Adjusting interest rates at whim because a small body of people says it's the thing to do is absolute madness and in my opinion (and many others) this is one of the root problems with economic stability. Propping up failing companies, rising minimum wages, and other factors also play a major roll but I'll leave those to another post ;)

If you could show me an actual better president that could get in office fine. Please don't pick from that Republican pool, so what does that leave us with and what are the likihoods?

See and there you show your bias. I have no problem in electing a democrat if they will actually do a good job. Whats the list of the last few that have been running? :1orglaugh There ARE good dems, just none have run recently.

Dude, we had a good democrat in for eight years. He got a blowjob and everybody started voting Jesus. Then everything went to hell, literally. Think about it.

Actually I blame him a little for that. I would have done the same thing but I never would have voted for me to be president

oh, and mc cain would have been any better? :1orglaugh

yep :2 cents:

Hahhaah I didn't say I had the answers! But I do believe I have a firm grasp on the problems :) That, of course, may be debatable BUT I'm a firm believer in placing logic and reason above every and all emotions when it comes to defining legislation and laws.

In that respect I try and analyze the data sets presented to me without bias. For me personally, and being that I'm a Libertarian, I put individual freedom, liberties, and property rights above EVERYTHING else. This is a core value for me that I will never sway on.

REGARDLESS of the issue I apply only these core values. I don't care if it's the KKK wanting to hold a rally at the local park (which I would NOT want but it IS their right) or if it's raising minimum wage. I try and leave all personal attachments completely out of the picture. This is where I know I differ with a LOT of people, specifically those that lean to the left. For example in healthcare... I think cheaper healthcare and easy access for everyone is an AWESOME idea, I fucking LOVE it. However when I remove my own personal feelings from the issue what I'm left with is. How can it possibly be cheaper if you have to add a massive amount of overhead in order to regulate the healthcare industry... That really just means it's more expensive... ANY way you slice it. The money is moved around differently however so it makes it look cheaper. Before I get the "lower the cost by having everyone insured so ER visits by idiots aren't driving up the bills" speech. I'd like to say that I see that is an issue and something needs to be done... However something ELSE could be done to address that problem without putting in place more government regulation and more employees and more spending...

Hahha I know I just rambled on there but that's a little insight as to all of my posts in these little political debates. You can count on my stance never changing regardless of the content of the legislation ;)

put down that pipe dude... its already starting to come back in polls that there will not be a lot of turnover in november..

some shakeups, but not enough to change control in congress...

i never could figure out why you were so into republicans until i found out you like the cock..

then it all made sense... Republicans = closet HOMO's...

now, why don't you swing on down to the airport and play toe da tap in the mens bathroom with that other faggot barefootisies... :thumbsup









.

Yeah, it's horribly fake. Shitty troll is shitty.

i think they broke up

Ok one more post here in reference to all the squabbling about Clinton vs Bush vs Obama...

There is a MAJOR key difference here...

Right now the house is controlled by democrats... So you've got a whole new ball game...

The president may green light shit but it's the house that's drafting this shit up folks. I realize the president COULD veto... but to veto a bill by your own party is political failure on a major level... one of the problems with parties... you can never go against the team or you're no longer a member of the team...

Him getting a BJ had nothing to do with it. Him lying under oath as a President is what fucked him.


You're clueless.

Where are you guys coming up with this shit?

No one is saying anyone was doing better or could have done better.

Stop being so fucking skewed and put your bias to the side.

AND STOP THE FUCKING CHARTS:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epo...044.html#chart

THERE'S ALL OF THEM IN ONE SPOT!

No......

Why do you link to something to try to prove it's legit and polls by themselves are illegit and subject to change by the moment. Dont' show me some fucking poll stats. Give me a fucking comic book to read. It means more LOL :1orglaugh

Not completely up-to-date.


For example, CBS is currently 42 approve, 50 disapprove.

Shitty troll is shitty.

Nothing better than resorting to circular reasoning when made to look stupid.

:2 cents: He's guaranteed 2 terms unless there's some unknown repub phenom that will show up in the next year. The current crop is a sad testament to what the party has become.

Ok not completely up to date but there are links for those interested and it stops the squabbling about X chart is fake, Y chart is the real one... They're just polls they can vary wildly. Having a bunch of charts in one spot at least gets you a much more accurate read ;)

You could go on and on forever about healthcare and I think that's really this is going to be this guys main legacy or demonization in the end. Fact is though, we all know something had to be done and no one was doing shit about shit and you damn well know republicans weren't about to tackle something like this. I wouldn't be surprised if they are secretly happy this is being handled now. Shit they are probably going to vote for him for another four just to make sure this crap takes hold for better or worse.

Oh, and BTW...I'm a registered Dem ;)

Uh, Mitt Romney proposed his healthcare bill before Obama.

And fancy that, if I'm even registered it's probably independant. Go Figure!

P.S. I can assure you i never even played with the idea of registering republican.

I'd say the same thing about Democrats... Obama included...

Getting elected president has become more about your personal charisma than anything else anyway. Obama is very charming, he knows how to talk to people and that, sadly, is what most people are voting on these days.

After Bush people REALLY wanted someone with more "stage presence" and public speaking skills...

As much as I hated Bush in office I feel like too much focus was paid to his poor public speaking skills. Does anyone even realize these days that someone can have very poor public speaking skills but still be able to lead this country better than anyone else?

I for one wish there was a president who would stand up and speak like a normal human being with complete disregard for the PC BS... no prewritten speeches just some note cards... but there's too many expectations for that to be feasible these days. Amplified by Bush's stay in office.

It's one of the reasons I really like Ron Paul though... He doesn't sound the same all the time. You can tell he genuinely understands economics and the topics he speaks on very very well. Even if you disagree with the view point. Every president in the last X years, Obama included, rely on creative lead-ins to their prepared speech on any given topic. That's just politics but I don't like it and it doesn't give me faith in the person who's spouting it, only doubt. BUT I'm not the average voter either so it's really not targeted to me ;)

Registering Independent varies per state. Some allow, others do not.

Mitt Romney is a fascinating guy. That's my home he won governorship in and if you had any clue about that state the idea of a mormon with magic underwear winning is just beyond belief. I live on the left coast now.

Ron Paul is too much an extremist IMO. If we were to gradually ease into him and his policies, I'd feel differently. But going from Obama to someone like Ron Paul would be a rough slap to the face.

What's this have to do with you spewing your ignorant bullshit?

Well, I got the magic underwear in there, right?

It's like he's a governor from a liberal state that's more liberal than california, so if you're backing him you might be more ignorant than I know you are.

I guess that would be my point.

P.S, I guess your work doesn't take much cause you were supposed to get back to it about like fucking almost an hour ago. Shit, glad I dont' work for you. This could explain a lot about our economy these days.

I'm a big fan of NOT passing legislation because it's "better than nothing". It's so terribly, terribly, terribly difficult to undue :(

Everything you just said is really what made people like Little Bush before hindsight. Just saying. He could talk to anyone. That was his skill. I really think he wasn't as evil as people think and just an idiot who was under qualified for the job, but maybe I fell in love with that Olive Stone movie. I used to think he was pure evil until that movie

Multitasking is a skill, apparently something you don't have. I don't hire ignorant try-hards, regardless.

I'm also not following on how someone who would follow him would be ignorant?

You do understand he tested with a 143 on the IQ tests? I'm positive that's higher than you.

I agree - Mitt Romney is, by far, the GOP's strongest candidate they currently have to run against Obama. I still can't figure out how McCain beat him out as the frontrunner last time.

Obama has been incorporating numerous Romney ideas and suggestions, forcing Romney to debate against himself on many of the issues. Can you say "flip-flop"?

Obama vs Romney will be the tightest race possible, but in the end, Obama will still win.... unless Obama ties Bo to his car's roof for a 12 hour road trip!

Well, since I didn't have to make a point of getting back to work and am still making money as I absorb your nonsense I guess I have a little clue of it.

You're big on numbers and I'm not or I would blow this one out of the waters, but my SAT's were very fucking high. I can't remember my last IQ but it was at least in that area, maybe less though.

I actually forced lower scores though to prove a point, myself and a few people I was working with. It is really funny how useless all the final test scores are and so many underachievers seem to succeed far better than these so called geniatrics!

I don't think it will be that tight. The republicans will throw him to the wolves much the way the Dems did Dukakis in 88 (i think it was).

Things could change though
