Wednesday Open Thread: Obama Edition
by PubliusA year ago, Obama had 70% approval ratings. Today, 52% of Americans say they wouldn’t vote to reelect him. Perhaps it is time for a new strategy.

Perhaps it is time for a new strategy
More like time for a new President and Congress !!!
Barry, We hardly knew Ye…

I have a novel idea………. RESIGN NOW!!!!!
"Perhaps it is time for a new strategy"
NO, no new strategy! I like legislative gridlock with a democrat congress and plummeting approvals. I'll like 2012 even better.
Hard to believe only 52% disapprove! Hard to understand how anyone could think he's done a good job. The epitome of an "empty suit"
http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=2670913024
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Guess we'll be seeing a new taxpayer funded committee to study his decline in the polls real soon…
Hey Barry…It's the economy, stupid…!
LOL A picture says 1000 words
His only accomplishment… voting "present" as a junior senator. His future presidential library should consist of one room full of hope and change… about 8' x 8' with no entry and two exits.
Slowly showing signs of sanity in this country. Bout Time. Pray not to late.
I think he just appointed by executive order a new committee or some group to study how to save money and lower spending. The irony is too much! Have you noticed when he walks he sort of tilts? That's because he refuses to wear a right shoe. But his influence on Democrats is really great. Look at all the little piggies resigning. Have to hand it to him – he has destroyed the Democratic party. The Republicans should never agree to any meeting with him when he refuses to start over on health care, etc. There is no compromise with a socialist agenda. And he's still talking about climate change even after it's been completely debunked. I wonder how good his coke connection is these days. Must be pretty good stuff to disconnect him like this.
How sad for all of us that the first black president turned out to be one of the worst ever to hold the office.
Don't worry, he "gets it" – by sending his already White House employeed terrorist supporter buddy as an envoy to Syria.
These Muslim vipers have slithered in to OUR White House, taken positions of power there and now they will have a terror shill in Damascus giving them who knows what information. How peachy.
Are DEMON-cratSS embarrassed by any of this?
Stop this madness – impeach this foolish, dangerous closet Muslim Obama and replace him with an American.
I guess most of Americans are just slow learners. He keeps trying to educate us and we just don't learn his socialist stuff very well!
disgusted,
One of the worst? Name just one that was worse. He's already surpassed Jimmah who previously held that title……and he did that in just a year.

You'll get a much needed laugh!
Imagine how many don't answer the poll honestly for fear of being thought of as a racist. I think it would be at least 10 points higher, more like 62%.
The only people left that could honestly think he's doing a good job are his kool-aid drinkers.
Is it November yet?….It can't come fast enough, and 2012 is
going to seem like forever!
Fire the fool. He is Jimmy Carter on 'roids.
Pity there were so many more competent "black" potential candidates that were never given the chance because they happen to be Republican or conservative.
If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never again regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time…..Lincoln
We'd all better become more vigilant than ever. Barry will slither toward the center after he and Congress release the real Stimulus $$ that is being stashed until Sept/Oct when they can come out before the Mid-terms and say, "Whoa! Look at all these jobs we've created now!"
The blind lemmings will follow and Barry's approval ratings will climb. But it's all part of their plan: releasing stimulous cash last year would do nothing for them – but release it in 2010 and you'll see all the Moonbats crying victory.
Then, as Barry makes his move toward center (as Clinton did after '92) they will create an election year backlash against us and the Tea Party and those whom we elected.
Progressives/Marxists always drive "beyond the hood" and look far ahead, because they are like societal cockroaches. They scurry in the light, but spread their vile filth when nobody's looking.
So they will attempt to make themselves look great before the Mids, then they'll create a massive backlash against conservatives for the 2012 elections. naturally, the MSM will stand up and do their jobs to help this happen.
With this kind of planning and devious tactics, we ALL must stick together and expose them at every turn.
That's my story and I'm…well….you know.
Saudi Billionaire boasts of manipulating Fox News coverage!
Say it is not so Glenn Beck and O'Reilly!!!!
Did your Saudi Masters instruct you to smear "birthers" and tea party goers as far right loons?

Or maybe we finally got to know him all too well. ;^) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
Ha ha…….Or is that left? ;^) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
And we're out of time(Hall & Oates, ugh). ;^) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
I wish I could find something witty to say about this topic. I can't. The numbers speak for themselves.
Yes, but which organization is responsible for the poll? ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
where are the doves? I did win didn't I ?
Today is also the anniversary of “porkulus” nearly a trillion dollar boondoggle, or government savings plan, with pay raises for all of our public “servants”…barf! Our worthless ‘60s radicals have finally gotten their wish, and put the last hope for the world into a death spiral…the USA. We need to reaffirm to Washington politicians, who they work for, starting in 11/10. Happy anniversary…sheesh!
Uhhm….errhh…..let me be perfectly clear….ahhh….ok, he's the worst! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
He is a community organizer .. period … he does not know how to elad and proves it by putting in losers from Chicago instaed of people who actually know what to do
Shhh…Don't say that to loud. We don't want the Lefties to think there is such a thing as a black conservative…!!! j/k =)
Well, in view of the fact that the Saudi billionaire has less than 5% share in Fox, I'd say theres an Australian billionaire who might just have something to say about that.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
Barry is in over his head. The people who voted him in were warned of his inexperience.
If Obama is impeached, and removed from office, that leaves us with JOE, and then Nancy. Boy our options really suck don't they…!?
It will be so nice once Barack Hussien Obama is just a page in the history books explaining how to attempt to destroy a country and failure because the voters woke up!
He can't change his strategy. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Porkulus will go down as one of the least effective and most incompetent spending bills in the history of America. I am sure.
America elected this fool. Now we are paying for our collective stupidity. We have listened to 60s radical "intellectuals" for far to long. This is fruit of that unwise decision.
It is time for us to pay attention! The Internet is our finest tool for doing so. NEVER LET THEM GET THEIR HANDS ON THE INTERNET.
Touche !
That was really good! LOL! I enjoyed it!
That would explain the discernible difference in O'Reilly's Factor over the past few months–he's regularly denigrating the "birthers," and I've wondered why is so important for him to continue to do so. Hmmmmm .. . . .
According to the Dems, all conservative black politicians are named '"Tom." And love Oreo Cookies.
They are pathetic.
Or a black failure…. …
than all that racist, code word, bigotry comments will start to appear.
It was a CNN opinion poll.
but very good question.
That was a hoot!
O'Reilly was disgusting in his interview with Sarah yesterday.
70% of time he talked about the few loonies that show up at Tea Partys with Nazi signs,…..
The other 30% he was asking about what is common knowledge already about the purpose of the Tea Party movement.
This guy is one phony dude.
but than again,… he has made his millions already…. so now feels he must be a middle of the roader on FOX.
I'm at a loss, myself.
I think thats a bit extreme, especially considering hes not even half way through his first term. As a liberal I do not think he's done a good job by any means. But making that sweeping of a statement is like judging George W. the day after we find out there may have never been WMD's in iraq.
Is he the president that unified the most people who don't agree with you? Absolutely. But just as was the case with George W. I had to realize that not agreeing with me does not exactly equate to "bad".
His TRUE reason for appointing a Deficet commitee is to RAISE ALL TAXES and say it's not his fault, it's the comittees fault.. He is the new PONTIUS PILATE…………..!!
Hopefully, breaking his balls…
Too true. The Republicans had J.C. Watts, Kenneth Blackwell, and others that they could have fielded. They were too timid to do so. Maybe now they understand that the majority of the electorate is looking beyond race to the issues,
How about an "EXIT STRATEGY"?
Again I say not all Muslims are terrorists but not one Muslim can be TRUSTED ! This is akin to FDR appointing a Nazi during WWII.. I have ZERO Respect for this "Citizen of the World"……… The Left and MSN are not reporting ANY of this..
Pancakes……….
You do realize though that a certificate of live birth was posted by the state of hawaii right? And thats its digital and viewable at any time? And that the justice department already cleared this as a non issue with no conspiracy behind it? And that hes the ONLY president to release that part of his records to the public?
There are so many things you can use to be critical of obama, please it just makes the right look like nutcases when you invent more.
actually its because theres a MASS of evidence against the birthers, O'Reilly is conservative yes, but even I as a liberal can say that he's fair, and he knows that pushing a theory that has been dis proven is only damaging to your side.
UGH!! I almost forgot.
Buffoon to left of me, Botox Queen to the right, here I am…
(I'm a grad student in Poly Sci, and the 'kidz" are glum and quiet about their Messiah! hee hee)
His chickens have come home to roost.

I second your motion, Grady!
Then tell us how he flew to Pakistan and what Passport did he use when US Citizens were forbidden by our State Department to go to Pakistan..?????????????????? Show us the MASS of evidence, don't tell us,!!!!!!!!!!! SHOW US…. (By the way, O'Reilly went to "Haaarvaaaad" where students lose thier souls………)
Oh wah, he's clearly acting in the interests of someone (or ones – re:Soros) incongruent to that of 99.9999% of the American public. Thus – on those gorunds I question his motives. Did I mention friggin' Hawaii? Did I?
No, you did.
He's a LOSER…-52% and dropping…
So you see left leaning politicans who plan to move more towards your idea as an insidious plot? Well shit, how do you allow for any compromise at all? And here I thought the problem was that Obama wasn't really standing for any particular platform so the republicans don't know what to ask for.
If the left had your philosophy then they'd block every republican idea so long as they held power. That means you've regulated your side to nothing more than obstructionists and not proponents of a "a better way". What your plan should be is to try to get more people on both sides to leave the rhetoric at the door and actually listen to reason. If the right is really superior (and even as a liberal I admit on some issues they are), that would lead you to "winning" anyways.
I couldn't have said it better CL
well the certificate of live birth by the state of hawaii has been digitized and you can demand it at will.

and from factcheck.org
“When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.
Since Sen. Obama has neither renounced his U.S. citizenship nor sworn an oath of allegiance to Kenya, his Kenyan citizenship automatically expired on Aug. 4,1982.”
As far as flying to pakistan goes, thats not proof of him not being an american citizen, thats proof of him getting into pakistan without a passport. I mean, my own mother has a passport and she was born in Colombia. People get through customs all the time in some countries. It's a product of their security.
Oh…….Jamesb, I envy your position,…….like being a 'fly on the wall'. How do you manage to keep
the SMIRK off your face?
http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/obama.html
they even guide you through how to get the records from an official government website.
People are starting to pay attention, and take a good look at Obama and seeing what a creep this guy really is.
It's tough (ah, not really!)
Last night I wore my "Marxism" shirt with Groucho in Obama poster style on it…hee hee…
I wear my "Commies Aren't Cool" tee to tweek 'em too…
They are much less enthusiastic about "talking politics" lately…I wonder why?
well at least we have a trend going with dimocrap senators going….I sure wouldn't want the gaff machine in the oval office though….
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
2 Aaron……….do you realize we let you get by with the WMD 'dig' on GWB, so now YOU bring up
the BC, get real, what are you trolling for. Surely you aren't looking for an ass-whuppin this early
in the day.
well ping me if ya want but….he is half-white eh??
well no you didnt mention hawaii but specificly stating its time to have an american in the office implies that he isn't. Even a short form is an official document, this has already been investigated, and the justice department has stated that there is nothing to prove the birther theory.
As far as acting against the interests of americans, that just proves hes not good at his job, not that he isn't american. That hyperbolic and in no way proof of what you're saying.
I in no way implied that he's good at his job, in fact i implied the exact opposite, you just feel the need to reiterate that hes a loser because of my failure to rabidly agree with you.
Obama cannot change, he is a "TRUE BELIEVER"….
uh, except that he's bragging about one news piece, and all he did was call in and complain as a 5% shareholder. And it's all his side of the story; there's no evidence that he had any impact whatsoever.
Typical liberal libel to take a toothpick and turn it into a baseball bat. Then try to kill you with it. We lose when we start using their methods.
There is 48% out there who would vote for him again? Wow, can't fix stupid!
It's not trolling, I come here because im not automatically opposed to an opposite viewpoint, when stated reasonably, which I sometimes get here. Unfortunately I also sometimes don't.
Now, let me also mention that failure to prove something is not proof of the opposite. You can poke holes in B.C. issues, but can you actually show any document that indicates he was born somewhere else? Until you have that you haven't proven the theory at all.
He has Balls? So that is what is impairing his vision!
How about "the next round is on me!"
Open thread rant.
Is it just me, or is Bill O'Reiley getting on anyone else's nerves with his disparaging comments about the "fringe element" of the Tea Party? Also, has anyone else noticed that the same rhetoric is working its way into Glenn Beck's shtick as well?
It seems to me that for a grass roots movement with no leaders, it's message is remarkably coherent. If the movement IS in danger of being hijacked, as they claim, I submit that it is they who are doing the hijacking.
I have also noticed that they are bandying the term "tea-baggers" around pretty freely when speaking about those who they consider "on the fringe". Their use of this term falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of use between Rahm Emmanuel and Rush Limbaugh's use of "retarded". It's less offensive than Rahm, but way more offensive than Rush.
Why is it that they find this so reprehensible when the Left uses this tactic and yet feel so comfortable in employing it themselves? If you ask me, they are both turning into PINHEADS…and they are feeding off of each other as they do so.
Glenn! Stay away from O'Reiley…he's a bad influence on you! Remember…show me your friends and I'll show YOU YOUR future.
He'll find out in time. He's going to be deeply disillusioned when he doesn't come back after the 3rd day .If you know what I mean Brother.
It's the tiger woods effect. One "side" claims him because it's convenient. After that media becomes reality. Sadly it happens way too often from both sides.
Native……….Ever heard Dennis Miller call Bill, Sheriff O'Reilly? It's just a little dig Miller does
to let Bill know he's over-reaching his authority on some issues. Matt Dillon O'Reilly ! Cracks
me up. Dennis is about the only reason I watch bill anymore.
No humor is better than forced humor, thx for trying though
52%??? That may people still hanging on for dear life? Kind of like watching the final scene of Titanic.
roost should have been capitalized in your post…………R O O O O S T…….. Like that, OK.
Agreed with O’Reilly, not so much Beck. They’re doing the Bold Fresh Tour so they are new best buddies, and I would imagine a bit of co-opting is taking place.
O’Reilly’s been a suck up for some time, he’s anxious for his next Barry interview, and invite to White House parties.
Truly Scarry!!!!
I'm really not concerned about you one way or the other.
i'm interested in driving down this sham president.
He's bad for our country in more ways than I have room to mention. The questions about his past are part of the picture,
He was an avowed Marixt as a college student – I'd love to see his transcripts.
He should be subjected to an illegal drug test – I bet he flunks.
What exactly does a Kenyan B.C. look like?
A British form of somekind?
A piece of goatskin?
Sheep membrane with blood writing?
amen and amen.
Well see, once again you offer no actual proof, just rhetoric.
Do a I agree with you? No. Will I listen and change my opinion if you can reasonably state your argument? Yes. But your only offering sound bite material. Be better.
Gotta keep those gummint checks coming in.
