Looks like all that hope and change ain't working for a lot of people!
To: Kartographer
The number of people who think Obama can improve the economy is down a sobering 19 percentage points from the euphoric days just before his inauguration. Ditto for expectations about creating jobs. Also down significantly: the share of people who think he can reduce the deficit, remove troops from Iraq and improve respect for the U.S. around the world, all slipping 15 points.HEY LIBS: "IN MACY"S WINDOW!"

As The One sees it, he has one job: turn America into Western Europe...so we can all be equal.

Amazing that AP admitted it, and didn’t try to hide it.
The current pres’s policies are a failure.
To: Kartographer
Obama still has a solid 55 percent approval rating better than Bill Clinton and about even with George W. Bush six months into their presidencies.

"The hope and optimism that washed over the country in the opening months of Barack Obama's presidency are giving way to harsh realities." In the runup to the election, I tried to get some Obamatrons I know to clearly explain what they thought he was going to accomplish. Other than some vague references to "bringing the country together," "giving us hope," "bringing change," etc., they couldn't verbalize what their expectations were. This is what happens when too many people vote for an image or style, rather than a package of real ideas and solutions. These people are in for an emotional crash landing.

The harsh reality is that Obama has been a depression and an embarrassment on this country. There have been no “good days” since this person set foot on the stage.
He has created untold misery in this country. He is asking people to vote for putting their parents and grandparents down like animals, he has taken our savings, he has made us unsafe ETC, I could go on and on. He is absolutely a disgrace.
If we are to ever have any peace like we used to have, Obama and his communists need to be kicked to the curb.
They have already ruined America. I am sickened by it.
How many of us long for days gone by?

New Obama bumper stickers:
If youre not outraged, youre not paying attention.
Didnt our ancestors leave Europe to get away from this crap?
Barack Obama: A new chapter in American history, Chapter 13.
I hope I have some change left in four years.
Hows that hopey, changey thing working out for you?
Honk if Im paying your mortgage.
The big three couldnt sell me a car, so they stole my taxes instead.
Are you better off than you were $4 trillion dollars ago?
Hey, Barack, were baroke!
No we cant
afford any of this.

Michelle and the girls got the last one. Yours is on back order. Perhaps you'd be interested in this brown rat, instead? Or we have some very nice cockroaches, imported from Tony Rezko's slums palatial apartment homes in Chicago.

Is there ANY way we can convince more than HALF the American electorate, that we should START with reality,
and slowly , very slowly,IF AT ALL, and only “for fun”, build to these ethereal concepts like “hope” and “change”.
All of US knew what to expect with Obama, and we found out an alarming number of dumbed-down Americans were looking for a Messiah, in this “secular” society.
