This ought to scare you
April 26, 2010 - 10:09am — penniless_taxpayerThe 50% who love Obama are the socialist freeloaders out to get something for nothing ... everything from free medical care to a free college education. It ought to scare you that half the country is sitting in the wagon that the other half is pulling. What happens to the country if the remaining 50% pile onto the socialist bandwagon too and no one is left to pull?

The N&O put the best spin on it that they could, but the truth is that Obama has suffered the greatest drop in the least amount of time than any other president in the history of the U.S.
And for good reason. Americans don't like fascists. Obligatory note: This is not name calling. This is the correct word to use for government leaders who take control of private businesses, i.e., General Mothers. When government takes ownership of private businesses that's called communism.
OBAMAS UNFAVORABLE RATING
April 24, 2010 - 8:31am — mrcleanThe more the voters see and learn of his leftist socialist thinking and policy proposals the more his ratings will suffer.He is destroying the democrat party as we know it.It is becoming a fringe group that will take years to rebuild.Clinton knew it was headed in that direction and started his organization to counter it and move to the center.Now it is just a matter of time before the GOP takes over and I believe a third party will emerge.
