Franklin Pierce’s teenaged son was killed in a train accident en route to the father’s inauguration. Mrs. Pierce blamed her husband, for if he hadn’t run for president, they wouldn’t have been traveling to the inauguration. Was this depression from the loss of the son?

Also, do you know Barbara Pierce Bush is related to Franklin Pierce?

Yes, I knew Barb was related to Franklin...yeah, the death of a son while on the way to a new job would put a real damper on the whole enterprise, wouldn’t it?

Good info. Don’t forget clinton had a third party and never got 50% of the vote.

Unless something drastic happens within the next 13 months or the G.O.P. nominates a quack or an idiot, this man will be forever known as “Black Carter.”

The quack and the idiot are still running, but I don't think Paul or Huntsman will get much traction...

Rasmussen’s results jump up and down every couple of days. That’s because he’s presenting his results in the most honest fashion possible. Big comeback for Obama? Hardly.

You said it even better than I.

The words ‘unthinkable’, ‘inconceivable’ and ‘incomprehensible’ keep coming to mind. Millions of Americans, IMHO, have subconsciously blocked the possibility of an enemy infiltrating the highest position in the land from their minds. The "It can't happen here." mentality. But it has happened here. And now, America is torn and suffering, due to the elections of 2006 and 2008 to the likes of which have not been seen since the mid 1800's if not before, and, dare I even say, since the Revolutionary War. And millions of them are still oblivious to it all, because it all goes back to the words I mentioned above.

Looking from afar, I see an America that in no way resembles even an America of 2000. I started my world travels in 1999, and left for good in 2004.

Good for you. You won't mind if I now consider your opinions about America's problems on par with any other foreigner's.

How could anyone have a favorable opinion of the thug who launched AttackWatch?

You guys aren’t being very nice and one of you called our President a “thug”. I’m reporting this whole place to “AttackWatch”, where Michelle Obama the “AttackWitch” will stuff your mouths with Olive Garden fruits and vegetables. So there.

A railroad car load of cabbages turned over in the Carolina sun in July and under attack by jealous skunks wouldn’t stink this bad!

Tell her to try passing out cow patties with rotten eggs on top, they would be less offensive. The woman must be an idiot beyond belief to be campaigning to reelect this disaster.

He only seems to be in over his head if you have some strange idea that he ever intended to do anything positive for the country! Once you accept the FACT that he was put in place as a puppet to do the bidding of those who want to DESTROY this country you will realize that he is doing very well at his intended purpose.

Kucinich is a kook. But at least he’s an American kook. And I do like his taste in women.....;^)

Rasmussen's polling methodology is unique in that it offers respondents a choice of “somewhat approve” or “somewhat disapprove”. This would tend to inflate the minority opinion because it lets liberals and Democrats qualify their response of approval.

Rasmussen acknowledges this here:

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/political_commentary/commentary_by_scott_rasmussen/comparing_approval_ratings_from_different_polling_firms

When you look at a Rasmussen poll, the only numbers that matter are the percentages responding with “Strongly Approve” and “Strongly Disapprove.” That's the Presidential Approval Index, where Obama continues to be deep underwater.
