I thought Palin was doing really good in the campaign. She was drawing huge crowds everywhere she went and she seemed to be propping McCain up.
Baraq is not very smart and cunning.
That is a media fantasy.
All the hard evidence of his ability (SAT,GRE,LSAT,transcripts) are in a “lock box”
All the visible evidence indicates he is not all that bright.
Reading words written by others off of a teleprompter is not evidence of intelligence. It may be "brilliance" of a kind, as in a performance. But reading written words well makes Obama more Ron Burgundy than Daniel Webster.
I've interviewed hundreds of people for various jobs in industry, government, and private business, and I know that when someone refuses to provide their grades from school it is for one reason: they STINK. Any job I've ever had always required transcripts of grades from college and grad school. It is irony in the greatest sense that a man who holds the highest office in the land doesn't have to meet the requirements that any entry-level professional job has.
Ron Burgandy, LMAO
that would be useful as a campaign ad in a couple years
A "multitude" of 54%.
It was sufficient . . .
That of course is including ACORN, illegal alien votes, dead democrat votes, black panthers stopping people from voting, and all the other fraud coming out from the Chicago Daley Obama Emanuel Crime Machine.
The usurper wouldn't have made it in to be "Present" Obama if all that didn't happen, would have dropped below 50%.
The figure of 54% of Roman Catholics voting for Obama hasn’t been challenged anywhere but on this forum by FReepers who can’t face the truth — Roman Catholics elected Obama.
And why are you reviving a year-old thread?
There’s lots of new ones being posted. 8~)
Someone made that quote— who was it again? It’s brilliant and he deserves the credit.
Don't be too hard on us, we are still paying for voting for Bush. Every President wants to be a war time President in the history books.
IIRC, this article originally appeared as an editorial in a Czech newspaper.
I first heard that it was a comment in a Czechoslovakian newspaper. Maybe their current leader said it?
OK, so it was Catholics and illegal fraudulent votes that elected him, OK?
I posted on the thread because it fit for today.
btw a year is 12 months.
: > )
Water? You mean that stuff in the toilet?
Poll: President Obama gains favor with young voters
Even as President Barack Obama’s overall approval rating tumbled in recent weeks, his ratings among young adults — especially those at four-year colleges — have shifted upward, a new poll shows.
In a national survey of Americans, ages 18-29, conducted by Harvard’s Institute of Politics, 55 percent said they approve of the president’s job performance, up 6 percentage points since October. And among college students, Obama does even better, with a 60 percent approval rating, up 9 points from the fall.
When asked whether they plan to vote for Obama in 2012, though, they’re less sure. Thirty-eight percent of those surveyed (and 43 percent of college students) say they will, while 25 percent (and 30 percent among college students) say they will vote for his Republican opponent. The rest are unsure and, perhaps, looking to be swayed.
“As the 2012 presidential primary and caucus season draws closer, young people will again have the opportunity to greatly impact the race for the White House,” the institute’s director, Trey Grayson, said in a statement. “Political campaigns which incorporate an effective youth outreach strategy will have a strong advantage in the 2012 cycle.”
The improvement in the ratings signals a marked shift from the disaffection coming from young voters who think Obama has failed to follow through on his idealistic campaign promises.
Enthusiasm about Obama’s message of “hope” and “change” (or opposition to it) drew students and other young adults to volunteer for political groups, to register to vote and to head to the polls on Election Day. And, in 2008, nearly 70 percent of voters 29 and younger voted for Obama — the highest share of youth votes ever to go to any one candidate, according to exit polls.

Many do I'd say, but it was the swing voters who put him in the White House, because of fear about the economy and anger at Bush. Most of them don't fit the stereotype and having swung to Obama in 2008, may well swing to a Republican in 2012. Some of them already did vote Republican in the 2010 midterm elections.
That's not to say that the country doesn't have anything to worry about. Just that the end isn't as near as some people think.
Barber poles are more accurate.
