The Night They Dumbed Our Country Down

[BigRob]

Let's see, his foreign policy has been amazing. His work for rights of gays and women has gotten further than any other president. He passed at least the semblance of a health care plan even though it was watered down beyond belief by the Repubs.

The true poll is that 41% approve of him, only 9% at this time approve of Congress.

But go look at the frequency of filibusters if you really don't understand that the Repubs in this administration have obstructed exponentially compared to any other congress in history.

That is your poll??? Hilarious.

In April of 2008, Bush's approval rating hit 28%....guess what the approval rating of Congress was? 15%.

I suppose Republicans should have clapped their hands and said how wonderful it is they were in such good shape going into the 2008 elections....oh wait.

your math is strange. 41 is a lot more than 28. 9 is a lot less than 15.

One thing you don't consider. The Dems had Obama. Your candidates as shown in the video are a bunch of clowns. The only one who isn't a complete fool is Huntsman and that's why he's at the bottom, intelligence doesn't compute. haha

I picked those numbers intentionally to show a low point for Bush...there are many other times before and after that that correlate much more closer to your figures.

The point is a low approval rating of "Congress" in entirely meaningless in any election.

Typically, if you delve further into those polls as well, they produce results like:
"Throw all the bums out of Congress...but I like my Rep, and will probably vote for them again."

All of that said, I agree 100% that Obama is a force on the campaign trail, (and it is still early), but after Republicans start dropping out, you will see the race heat up a lot more, and the "clown" factor eliminated.

I'm just happy that you are clear headed enough to recognize the "clown" factor!
That at least inspire more confidence in your judgement.

And it's not 41 today. . .it's 43!

Any primary...really on any level, will bring out the clowns.

That at least inspire more confidence in your judgement.

My judgement is always spot on.

I'm glad at least one of us has "great" self-esteem!

How on earth are you going to see the clown factor eliminated when your possible candidates are Romney, Perry and Cain ?

That equation guarantees a clown.

Well, if you are going to believe that anyone is a clown simply because you disagree with them, then you will miss out on a fun campaign.

Well, I think you are totally right about Perry and Cain (and the other clowns) but I think Romney is a step above the rest of them.

And he is the ONLY one who has a chance to defeat Obama, because he is not an "extreme right" candidate, although he has to "pretend" he is more to the Right than he really is at this time. . . to get the primary votes!

But really, the Democrats are in a very good position: I hope Obama will prevail. . .but if he doesn't, Romney will be our next President, and he will revert to being HIMSELF: a centrist who (in this time of "extreme Right" demands) would probably be categorized as a "center-left" candidate by most Republicans!

So. . .we'll end up either with President Obama for another four years (which I really hope will happen, but I'm not entirely confident), or Romney. . .another "center-left" President!

So. . .the future doesn't look that bad for Democrats. . . doesn't look that good either way for extreme Republicans, though!

I agree with some of what you said but Romney is catering to the far right, not a good sign. I also think he has next to no chance to win because of his flip-flopping and also I give the American people some credit to not elect an utter phony.

No, I disagree with Huntsman on a lot of things but I don't think he's a clown. It's just a sad commentary that the Repubs have their heads up their butts so far that they need a clown.

I agree again. . .Huntsman is a smart person, and he is not extreme. . .that's why the GOP has NEVER giving him a chance. . .and the average tea party supporter can't even understand what he is saying. . so they just dismissed him, especially since he was not using the "party line" social issues and attacks!

What is a sad commentary is your above statement.

I would bet good money that if you asked 99% of people on the street, not a single one could articulate anything Romney has actually "flip flopped" on.
