The Hill Poll: Majority of voters blame president for bad economy

53 percent of centrists said Obama has taken the right actions as president to boost the economy, compared with 38 percent who said he had taken the wrong steps.

What about this hard push to socialism do these "centrists" like? Or... maybe they're not "centrists" at all. Liberals are fond of calling their ideology "mainstream" and "middle of the road."

Facts are facts, and Americans are not as stupid as Obama’s experience in South Chicago leads him to believe.

Come November, we'll see if Americans can pass this IQ test known as an election. I'm not yet confident.

I posted on Saturday as follows:

But I think the forces that dominated in 2010 will be no less powerful in 2012, although I concede that Obama in a presidential race will be able to turn out his base with more success than was possible in 2010. I still think that the balance of forces generating turnout will be with the Republicans.

So I could not agree with you more.

...look at Wilson.

One of our worst Presidents.

Apparently a large minority of voters is permanently confused and/or ignorant.

“Facts are facts, and Americans are not as stupid as Obama’s experience in South Chicago leads him to believe.”

I see no evidence that Obama is wrong about the utter stupidity of Americans only more and more that he is correct there. This poll included.

I'm tired of the excuses.

President Obama does not know how America works. Period.

He continues to spout left-leaning rhetoric and to blame President Bush. People just want a statesman who will lead the nation out of the economic funk, not a blame-shifter.
