2. But he's a secret Muslin! He's a socialist! He talks in code!
That poll just can't be right. Glenn Beck did all those tea bag events and people showed up in the hundreds of thousands.

5. People WANT those things in a president!
:D Glenn Beck and his stupid show about "lies in the media" about the tea parties is a joke. I watched his show Friday and he's NUTS. "Anyone who's been following me for years knows I'm 90% chick!" He was talking about how often he "blubbers" as he put it. What a crazy phony.

8. Hi, jenmito. Yep. Ol' Glenn is a wiley one. He'll get the nutbags all
stirred up in time to further embarrass the Republicans in the 2010 elections.

The higher his ratings go the better our chance of winning more seats in the Congress!

10. Hey, saltpoint...
exactly. And even BillO has Beck on his show to increase HIS ratings. Beck with his crazy "912 Project" is such a joke that he gives Stephen Colbert material every night. :D

9. President Obama is a phrase I am not getting tired of saying.
I've been saying it since November and it still sounds invigorating and uplifting.

I think this guy is a 2-termer, for sure.

12. Yeah, that's what I was referring to... thanks for the heads-up about his continued wingnut talk
Edited on Sun May-03-09 12:33 PM by ClarkUSA
I always turn the channel on his smug Reagan Republican Ken Doll face.

14. Sure thing...
He was at it again today talking to a few people in a diner. His questions were so leading. He asked a woman who voted for Obama something like, "I know you say you voted for Obama. But are there any Republicans who you see now who make you think, 'Hey-I like what that guy is saying!'" The woman said no, that even looking at Republicans makes her sick. That all they do is say NO to anything Obama proposes. :D

11. President Obama is a human same as the rest of us but he is one with
extraordinary ability to deflect criticism, partly with his command of issues and history, and partly with being a very nimble-minded thinker and planner.

As opposed to his pathetic predecessor, who had none of those abilities.

15. When you factor in
how many people are racist and how many people are so freeperish they won't support anything he does, Obama has a near 90% approval rating. LOL

16. And to think Junior had to let 9/11 happen to reach that approval rating!
Which ironically should have made his approval rating do quite the opposite. It's unfortunate the 9/11 Whitewash Commission didn't finish the second half of their report, delayed so as not to influence the 2004 election, on how BushCo misused intelligence to get their war on.

K&R

20. I just heard today on The Chris Matthews Show,
that the Obama admin. may go about prosecuting Bush officials by reviewing their past testimony and comparing it to the now-declassified documents.

Yes, it's a shame that Bush's approval jumped out of FEAR and he took full advantage of that.

Thanks for the K&R, AK! :hi:

25. Good.
Hopefully he can keep that approval high enough to get through

1) Universal health care
2) Israeli-Palestinian peace process
3) SCOTUS nomination
