Obama '08?

@Foxfyre,

Big story?

That's a laugh Fox. I see some people trying to turn it into a political firing. The facts seem to point to Walpin being upset that Federal career prosecutors overturned his suspension so he decided to go around his superiors and try to go to republicans in Congress. Walpin may have been fired for politics but it would have been because of HIS politics unless you want to argue that career prosecutors are in the pocket of the Dems.

Quote:

As this was happening, the matter was also under consideration by the local U.S. attorney's office after Walpin referred the matter to the office for a criminal inquiry. Since January of this year, the office has been headed by an acting U.S. attorney, Lawrence Brown, a career prosecutor who took over after the departure of the previous, Bush-appointed U.S. attorney. The office decided not to pursue criminal charges against Johnson, but also entered into settlement talks with Johnson and St. HOPE. What resulted was, according to Walpin, highly unusual.

...
Walpin was very unhappy. ...

Walpin told the Corporation's board of directors of his opinion. He told other officials. And he sent a report to Congress. "I was bringing Congress in to try to get its assistance in putting a spotlight on this," he says.

Walpin's actions undoubtedly angered top officials at the Corporation, and most likely at the White House as well.

@mysteryman,

I don't think it very important what Maher says about anything. Unlike Limbaugh, Maher is a not a leader of his party in any sense -- he is just a comedian.

It is clear that Obama is right up-to-date on the latest in communications, and he will use this in getting his messages across. He walked into the office and found the turgid, stinking mess left by Bush. He can best turn things around by communicating problems and solutions to the public.

@Foxfyre,

Obama is corrupt, Foxfyre, no other answer for what we have seen and will see. He is a Chicago politician, after the tradition of the best of them.

As long as the main stream press protects him, he will probably skate.

@Advocate,

I'm not surprised... you liberals discount and eventually attack everyone that utters anything negative about Obama.

@Advocate,

What you failed to do for waterboy is to list all the "stink" that was left by Bush. Even waterboy will have difficulty trying defend him with so much evidence now available including torture and lying so often. Cheney still doesn't get it! He still claims they were able to get information that saved American lives from our prisoners. They've all be debunked by intelligence officers and the victim himself.

@cicerone imposter,

You are attempting to play the "inherited" card.
Even you know that you are holding a loosing hand whenever you draw the "inherited" card.

It's a shame that the left and left wing extremest like cice fail to step up and accept responsibility for
what they are part of and what they have done. The longer Obama and his supporters whine about
what they supposedly inherited, the stronger the right gets. So, keep whining you whiner Laughing

@H2O MAN,

The right isn't getting stronger; they have already lost their base, and it's getting smaller. What do you expect from the No Party that only complains, offer no solutions, and try to instill fear into the populace about Obama?

It's really funny that "you" people can't see the obvious.

The top spokesmen for the conservatives are Limbaugh, Bill Beck, Cheney, Beohner, and Palin. What a joke!

You are the fool if you think any of what you said is true.

Yes, I'm a fool for believing in the trend of polls taken regularly. Maybe they're all lies.

Good afternoon. Every couple of weeks since the 1st of March, I have been posting polling results on President Obama's approval ratings as gathered by the polltaker Rasmussen. Here is the latest update:
The 1st set of numbers is the % of respondents who STRONGLY APPROVE of Mr Obama's performance vs the % who STRONGLY DISAPPROVE. The 2nd number is the index obtained by subtracting the DISAPPROVE from the APPROVE. The 3rd set is the % of folks who APPROVE vs DISAPPROVE, dropping the word "STRONGLY."

3/1/09: (38%-30%) = +8 (58%-40%)
3/15/09: (37%-31%) = +6 (56%-43%)
4/1/09: (37%-29%) = +5 (56%-44%)
4/14/09: (35%-32%) = +3 (55%-44%)
5/2/09: (33%-32%) = +1 (54%-45%)
5/16/09: (34%-30%) = +4 (56%-43%)
5/31/09: (36%-26%) = +10 (58%-41%)
6/16/09: (36%-32%) = +4 (56%-43% )

On 6/5, President Obama's index hit -0- for the 1st time since taking office (34%-34%). That was, I think, when it became clear GM was going into Chapter 11 and the government was putting another $30B. The majority of folks feel we should sell our shares, take the loss and move on. I infer that to mean that the majority feel GM will never become profitable, and we should get out of the car business.
The index got up to +9 on 6/9 but has been flat around +4 or so.
The health care debate isn't causing much movement so far. 41% like a public sector health insurance option while 41% say it is a bad idea.

Dropping the STRONGLY adverb, broader support for Mr Obama hasn't varied much.

Wandering around Rasmussen's site this afternoon, here is a question that will be asked of 1000 likely voters today:

"Should the government put a cap on the amount of money a jury can award a defendent (I think they meant plaintiff) in a medical malpractice lawsuit?"

What % will say "Yes."

@realjohnboy,

I would much rather see the results when likely voters are asked about a loser-pays rule for lawsuits.

@H2O MAN,

Isnt this the same thing the dems raised hell about Bush doing?

What happened to the "transparency" that the Obama admin promised?

The few times I have tried to listen to Limbaugh, I thought he was a comedian also.
But if it is so important to so many on the left what Limbaugh says, it should matter what Maher also says.

Obama said what it took to get elected and the dumbmasses believed him - mission accomplished.

Now what?

it is important to the left what Rush says because "the base" listens/believes Rush. I don't think that's true of any comic on the left.

What does it matter to anyone on the left what Rush says or who believes him?
If he is as outrageous and as wrong as the left claims, then anything he says should be meaningless to anyone that doesnt listen to him.
