According to the latest (9/28) Rasmussen Poll, Barack Hussein Obama now enjoys a 57% approval rating among American voters. What does this mean? It means that those Friday night debates didn't change a thing. It means that no matter how poorly Barack Obama acquitted himself that night it makes no difference. That revealing "America is the greatest nation in the world, BUT..." statement doesn't matter. That embarrassing soldier's bracelet gaff doesn't matter. His recently exposed contemptuous betrayal of our courageous military in Iraq by his behind-the-scenes attempts to manipulate our troop withdrawals for his own selfish political agenda doesn't matter. Rezko doesn't matter. His undeniable twenty year relationship with Reverend "Goddamn America" Wright doesn't matter. His angry militant anti-white America wife's outrageous admission that for the first time in her lifetime she is "finally proud to be an American" doesn't matter. His suspicious ties to Islamists and Muslims don't matter.
Don't you see? None of it matters. He is as impervious to stain as OJ Simpson was impervious to justice.
There are no present or future revelations, no matter how powerful, no matter how damning, that will derail this speeding train. 57% of America approves. 57% of America has spoken, and they have said that nothing, absolutely nothing that we have uncovered, or may uncover in the future, makes a damn bit of difference to them. 57% of America will not be dissuaded from their choice. 57% of America approves. How does this make you feel? How does this make me feel? Outraged? Impotent? Resigned to failure and defeat?
I once had a friend who was determined to commit suicide. We loved this friend and we tried everything we could think of to dissuade them. But every argument we made fell on deaf ears. They were just determined. And nothing we could say, or nothing that we could think of saying, would make the slightest difference. And in the end, despite all of our well-intentioned efforts, despite all of our entreaties and all of those well-reasoned arguments, we lost the battle and we lost our friend. That's how I feel.

I don’t buy it or the demoraliing tone of this posting.

A troll?
What a crock. Nice try though.
I know. My girlfriend will not even HEAR a negative wor. She has become a total FANATIC! I am dropping her.
It’s in His hands and I have to be confident He knows what He’s doing. (It ain’t easy though)
Hey, Obama said he’d take full advantage of the internet :)
And I agree with you.
Yet if Palin screws it up, having never debated on the national stage before, they’ll say debates *do matter.
See my tagline
Did you just fall off a turnip truck? I thought everyone knew this.
YOU’VE GOT TO READ THIS THE BIG O MISLEAD ON THE BRACLET

It does matter. The silent majority is out here!
I really don’t care if you “buy it” or not, it doesn’t change those figures.
And don’t talk to me about my tone. Go to my blog http://radarsite.blogspot.com/ and check it out before you talk about my tone. No one has fought harder against Obama than myself. I can’t even remember how many articles I have written trying to expose this menace to our democratic nation. But to 57% of America none of this makes a damn bit of difference. Get off you high horse and try to understand what my message is here. No one on this site would be any happier to be wrong about all this than myself. But that does not change the basic argument of this posting.

BOth Obama and McCain enjoy high approval ratings. That is not to say that people who say those men are ok are going to vote for them.
We are totally screwed....Half the population will eat this up without even asking a question. Frog meet hot water. ref Bail out
Your wrong, MOST of this countries population does not even know the difference between a Senator and a Congressman. Most would say "what bail out". Thats Why the demoncrats can get away with this.
Most think Democrats are "for the people" and Republicans are for rich business men. Thats whats voting this garbage into office.
And they vote Leftist.
Why are folks criticizing this post? It’s exactly what I fear. We know plenty enough about Barack Obama that his favorability raing should be damaged. He has expressed racist ideas and associated closely with racists and marxists. He was dead wrong on the surge. He is a tax and spend liberal. He has an atrocious pro abortion/ pro infanticide record, he is totally unprepared to be president, and so on.
Yet he continues to be viewed favorably by most Americans. Enough Americans have been this numbed to leftism they are about to elect a marxist/socialist president.
Not a troll - the Viking Kitties vetted him a while back.
How do I know? I did the vetting.
not the ones I know!!
