Obama '08?

The accusation has been made, but no proof has been presented.

Well, it's fair to say that I am confrontational and I'm sure some of my posts could be categorized as abrasive. I'm not trying to come off as a saint here; but I don't believe I have given the impression that only my opinion counts or only what I say matters.

Compared to me, you are not "confrontational."

ci's confessional in regard to Obama, let it all out, it would have a cleansing effect:

Go at it, guys, argue over who is the most confrontational, I would be interested in who wins.

You're not answering my direct questions.

okie does the same thing; he makes generalized accusations, but when asked to show proof, he goes into tangents without answering any direct question.

That's the MAC-conservative way. It's no wonder their party is shrinking.

Will John Holdren be put in charge of Obama care, just a thought? That would give him a chance to have all McCain voters sterilized. Its called job security for Obama.

Who knows, the skys the limit when you are a radical from Chicago.

Or maybe this could all be answered over a beer? But what about obesity, sheesh, every time we do something, another problem.

This is the new presidential way to solve problems:

And your's is how?

Please show us the ways you would solve all the important problems of our day.

Rasmussen has Obama down in the approval ratings again today--and continually to sink slowly but surely. Below 50% in Rasmussen poll of likely voters; about 53% approval among mostly all Americans. (RCP average). It's everything put together of course that is taking the bloom off the rose, but I do think it is the healthcare issue that is scaring people the most.

d. No trend.

July 18 is out of date already, ci, his numbers have dropped points since then. He is sinking, and the Democrats know it. Obama could be the best thing to happen to the Republican Party since Jimmy Carter. His goofy beer summit is not going to help him in my opinion. He is not presidential material. Never was. He made one speech, thats all, zero, nothing besides that, to be crowned by the liberal left media as the Democrats saviour. Now they are reaping what they sowed.

okie, The point you are missing is that even with the drop in points, Obama is still one of the highest rated after six months in office. The counter-balance to the recent polls is the fact that the first six month's of a president's rating isn't reflective of his rating as a president compared to all presidents after they have completed their term(s). Putting all the effort you MACs-conservatives are putting on this drop in the polls doesn't mean much in the long term.

You people relish in any bad news that really isn't bad news. Grow up!

Besides, read your own posts:

That's my personal opinion; that has nothing to do with national polls.

What a whiny little guy you sound like.

The fact that a dude who isn't presidential material, and made one speech, beat the **** out of your best, ought to tell you just how much the Republican party is sucking it up these days, Okie. How do you square this stuff, in your head?

Cycloptichorn

Cyclo, These MACs-conservatives must latch onto anything that looks negative for Obama. Their brain is not engaged in reality, rationality, and facts. They don't know how to equate these issues with past history, nor understand that their whining really tells the true story; they're a bunch of losers.

The most rational poster on this forum, according to him of course, said this:



And he still supports Obama. Go figure!!!!!!!!!

Go figure what? He's our president. It's not my problem you don't support our country's president who's trying his best to do the right thing. I disagree with some of the stuff he's doing, but I also don't agree with everything my siblings or wife does either!

Your problem is that you have no ability to discern the difference between different issues as good or bad, like or dislike, acceptable or not acceptable from the same person.

Everybody knows about your blind hate that has no rationale to it. You make blatant negative opinions without having the common sense to support them with evidence or facts on the matter.
