Driving down the freeway yesterday I saw a sight that astonished me, A hippy type putting along in her VW bug with an OBAMA licence plate. my jaw dropped! does this foolish woman have a clue that when things go south for her lover man that her silly little car will be in grave danger?? I had no idea you could even get such a vanity plate for your car.
Just got a new bumper sticker
HOW’S THE HOPE AND CHANGE WORKING FOR YA?
Ping.
Actually the mass demonstrations in NYC were all his followers echoing his class envy philosophy.They were chanting his mantra of the rich must pay more. I don’t see that demonstration as as positive for us. By the way , they were able to rally 50,000 people for their cause and we have our Tea Parties 100 show up. We’re not even close to changing things here. The left is organized and we conservatives just talk as the country hits the skids.
Now we will fight him, tooth and nail.
I hope you are right but so far we are sitting here online taking it. We need a million man march on DC to start it off but no one is organizing anything . Where is the anger ?
we need to take to the streets and organize against Obama.
These numbers are darn close to the margin of error. Call me when he dips below 50%. Then we’ll have something to cheer about.
Wrong. Newsweek had hom at 58% with their latest poll and that is the LIBERAL newsweek.
“I predict he breaks 50% in mid-May.”
Kinda’ early to tell on that prognostication. Looking at the table, I still can’t see a significant trend away from Obama, but in two week? It’s rather surprising that so many folks are buffaloed by this guy, but I guess it takes a while to admit to themselves (and then to pollsters) that they’ve been made fools of. Pride is a difficult thing to get around. I’ve a number of relatives that are in the same boat.
The BC may be a useful item for folks like that (face saving issue). If it appears that Obama’s a real stinker, and the folks are starting to figure this out, it’s much easier to reject him based on his dishonesty or outright lack or qualification. That’s where the BC bit will come into play, but not yet. His numbers have to fall a bit more and then, when his popularity is gone, the gutless judiciary may/will take up the question. It’s easy for them to say no one has standing on the issue when the guys popular, but if you’re a judicial wimp/(liberal sycophant) you’re far more likely to address the issue when the guy is publicly acknowledged to be a rat.
Yeah, I think his numbers will drop hard, but not quite yet. Just thinkin’ out loud.
Do you notice how many Obama stickers are on FOREIGN cars?
Now, I am a free trade guy myself, but I usually drive AMERICAN cars. (I admit I do it for PR purposes, in an aircraft manufacturing town, however, it is odd that many Union and Obama stickers are on foreign cars.)
Labor Unions make a big deal out of a Republican that does not “buy American” but -— Dems get a pass!
Here in the PNW you will see a O sticker on every other car in the city but here in the rural areas not so much. and after my bad experience with a Sable wagon I buy Honda now.
There isnt much left that you can say is made in America any longer kinda sad.
You may be right.
His disapprovals have doubled in some of these polls.
Obama’s numbers will “drip” down much like Bush post 9/11. Most Americans have absolutely no clue how the economy works, how financial markets work etc etc. The Republicans have always been awful at explaining why it WORKS.
40% are almost always going to vote either GOP or DEMs on either side, so the sheep are really the 20% in the middle that flip around like drunken dolphins in a tank of moonshine.
They viewed the events of last fall as a “financial 9/11” and Obama benefitted from being in the party out of power, the timing, and the age difference between he and McCain (and of course all the other issues about Bush, McCain and the GOP).
So Obama has a lot of capital with those 20%, because they perceive that he inherited a catastrophic event. THEY are going to judge him on what he does now and if it works, not on mistakes of the past. The GOP has not done a good enough job educating the masses on conservative economic prinicples, so it will take congress “failing”. That will be a trickle.
It took the Dems 5 years to drip Bush into a perceived “failure” with the 2006 midterms.
The real question is, will the middle mush judge him in time for 2010 AND will the GOP grow a pair and actually mount a cohesive plan to win in the House?
To me the flashpoint is congress and is Obama “Carter leading to Reagan” or “Clinton leading to a GOP House based party?” I guess he could also be Bush and manage to alienate both sides of his approval rating.
Even a tightening of the House in 2010 is HUGE in regards to policy.
Killed off by the new Socialized Medicine.
Look at the UK model; People over 65 who need dialysis are out of luck. People who have cancer recurrance are out of luck.
Of course, we are more humane. We won't put lime on the floors of the boxcars.
Free fall? Not yet. There still is plenty of Kool Aid still out there, but there may be a problem with the supplier. I give the honeymoon another six months or until the unemployment rate hits 12%. Come to think about it, they may be one in the same.
Same here. I drive American cars (Mustang GT, Town and Country and HHR SS). All of the libs near me drive foreign cars.
I just love America. And let’s face it, there are no cheap foreign cars that have cool sounding V8s!
