Obama Gets Strong Support in Poll

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama enjoys widespread backing from a frightened American public for his ambitious, front-loaded agenda, a new poll indicates.

He is more popular than ever, Americans are hopeful about his leadership, and opposition Republicans are getting drubbed in public opinion, the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll suggests.

That isn’t the poll, it is only how they responded, which they show you after you post your choice.

Still maintain that 2/3 of Americans are totally brain dead.

What scares me is that I suspect that the stress of watching this bloodless coup is going to drive me to join them.

Americans are so stupid, I can’t believe this. What have we become? A nation of give me give me give me’s.

There are two different Americas - the producers, and the parasites. Of course the parasites love the Zero.

I seem to have become trapped in an alternate universe— could someone help me get back to my own? New FDIC chair (Bair) publically says they may go insolvent, Obama snubs the Brits, plays ball with the Russians, invites Brad Pitt over for a chat, I had to take mandatory suicide prevention training at work today, and now this poll... Well, at least Jesus is real in this place too; trust in Him and even though the world may go to Hell in a handbasket, at least you won’t go with it.

Something about this doesn’t seem right. Apparently investors don’t have much confidence in the bonehead, and a lot of people have seen their 401ks tank by 50%. They can’t be that happy about it.

It’s still early but it does make you wonder. This guy seems to be a real loser. I just don’t understand Obama’s reaction to the market decline which is clearly caused by all of the goofy tax and policy announcements. To much to soon but I don’t think he cares I just don’t get it.

What part of “bloodless coup” do you not get? That is what happened on “election” day, a BLOODLESS COUP! Obama has no desire to do anything positive, he is a puppet installed by Soros and friends and he is performing above and beyond their expectations. Look around! There is no way that Obama and the other Democrats are stupid enough to believe that what they are doing is going to produce positive results. If you were sick and your doctor prescribed large doses of Arsenic would you think him incompetent or would you realize he is trying to kill you and he thinks you are too stupid to know it?

If true I’m getting my money out of the bank in cash, before FDIC goes under too.

Me too, but at the moment.... a few billionaires and corrupt politicians are using my money.

The only “poll” I’m worried about is the stock market.

"People don't want to look like racists so Obama will have sky high approval numbers right up until he loses in a landslide."

Something has to happen quicker than that, at this rate you won't recognize the country in one year, forget about four.

It’s all caused by GWB, who was most inept in office. All the American people know to do is vote out the “in” party in the White House. They can’t figure out any other option. And they hate being proved wrong!

You seem to have more faith in the American sheeple that history supports.

Did you know that the teleprompter was invented by Jess Oppenheimer, the creator of “I Love Lucy”? It was to help Lucille Ball learn her lines.

Wow! I didn't now that. Appreciate the factoid.

I still like to watch the "I Love Lucy" marathons on TVLAND channel.

I think the American “sheeple” are slow to come around, but always do. That has been their nature since the birth of our nation. Right now they are caught up in emotions that Barry exploited to get elected. They will come around, however, when they realize Bummer’s Keynesian economics works about as well as a submarine with a gaping crack in the hull.

Me too, but at the moment....

I got up this morning (fri) and I see the air heads in charge gave FDIC a 5 billion $ loan. It seems there is no limit to what they can spend all of a sudden.

Or has something happened to the monetary system that I missed. This is getting series.
