I can't believe people support this idiot. He's worse than Bush. I hope all the UAW members who voted for him are happy. He has sure flip flopped from him campaign promises.
Amid all the gloom, Obama gets high marks in the latest NEWSWEEK poll, with the GOP in the doghouse.

Somday America will wake up and realize they've been raped. Until then Obama can be the pimp for the democrats.
On Jan 21, 2009, we did wake up, and we did realize we were raped. The Repoublicans were doing it, and Bush was leading the charge. Thank God that's over!
Yeah, my Pension and 401K are getting raped right now on Obama's watch. Oh yeah, but he "inherited" this mess. Come on now, he's the President, he should show us that "change" he promised! LOL
Yeah, and the ultra-rich cronies of the Bush administration are still getting their bonuses out of your retirement. Keep the blame where it belongs - the people that are interested in the rich getting richer.
Oh please at least they are not on welfare.
Yeah while Obama keeps spending money on the high speed train from Vegas to LA and Rodent control for farmers in CA. Way go spending Porky Pig while stiffing our childrens children with the bill!

You all are idiots. Where are you getting your information? The majority of American people are furious and very unsatisfied with the President. The main reason is that the man is governing the exact opposite of the way he campaigned. You are going to have to report the truth eventually, like it or not.
I wish we had Bush back!!! I am soooooo dissapointed in Obama!!! I am VERY afraid fo rour country with him running it!! Please people, vote these MADMEN out of office in 2010 and 2012!!!! Please so that we can bring back the great United States of America!!!!! PLEASE......

WE NEED A TRUE CONSERVATIVE BACK IN THE RUNNING, NOT A MODERATE THAT JUST WANTS TO PLEASE THE LIBERALS. THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE THAT WILL STAND UP FOR OUR TRUE CHRISTIAN BELIEFS AND SALUTE OUR FLAG AND LET HARD WORKING, PRODUCTIVE, TAXPAYING, LEGAL AMERICANS KEEP OUR MONEY AND LET THESE OTHERS FAIL AND ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT THAT THEY HAVE TO WORK TO GET THINGS LIKE FOOD, A HOUSE, HEALTH INSURANCE AND THE RIGHT TO CALL THEMSELVES AN AMERICAN. OBAMA...PLEEEEEASE! TAKE YOUR IDEAS AND YOUR CULT FOLLOWING AND GO LIVE ON A COLONY SOMEWHERE AND HAVE A GREAT LIFE!
NEWSWEEK IS A JOKE! LIBERALS ARE A JOKE! I JUST WANT MY COUNTRY BACK PLEASE! 2013 HURRY UP!
I listened to all the vile and venom being spewed by the liberal media toward George Bush. Where are you now? Your president is a liar and is incompitant. I say it's time for the media to admit they were wrong and tell the truth. Maybe it's time for another revolution. Taxation without representation is what started the last revolution. I'm not represented. Are you?
The media and liberals were so quick to criticize Bush to the point of calling him a liar and wanting to impeach. Where are they now? Theyre president (Obama) is guilty of both lying during the campain and now that he's president he continues to outright lie to the American people. I havent heard anyone call Obama a liar or call his a failed administration. Odd...the liberals and moderates are very quiet now. I say impeach Obama before the secong "Great Depression" is able to take hold. Ive worked a blue collar job for 35 years and nobody ever helped me!
What a joke of a poll. I recently conducted a poll of my own on polldaddy.com and although unscientific, it's equal in reliability to this poll. The results from my poll with 90 votes tallied show 83% DISAPPROVE of the way President Obama is handling the economy. Check it out for yourselves. http://www.polldaddy.com/poll.aspx?p=1423039
Newsweek, are you serious? Do you honestly think that anyone believes your poll? Obama and his administration haven't a clue about how to fix anything and the majority of America is talking about what a joke this clown is becoming. He is a horrible president and I can't wait for him to fail!!!! And Democrats (liberals) who have the gall to sit here and talk about the country should be uniting aroudn this president have some nerve after the way they treated our last president. I will never forget the names he was called and the total disrespect that President Bush was given. I will treat your democratic president the way you treated president Bush. Obama and his wife are both the worst people to head our nation as they both hated this country UNTIL they got what they wanted. I am ashamed to be called an American after electing this embecil and his wife to the most respected office in the world.
THE TRUTH TAXPAYERS ARE OVERPAYING
1) Reduce permanently 10% of the federal and state work force - those left need work harder like most workers still working are forced to do,
2) Make all government employees INCLUDING senators, house of reps & the President /VP give up earning any more pension benefits (like most americans no longer have), INSTEAD give them a match of 50% on up 6% of their annual wage they contribute into a 403B plan - USE the TAX savings resulting from the dropping of new pension TO PROPERLY FUND SOCIAL SECURITY FOR THE TAXPES SINCE THATS 10 year from going BROKE
3) Have the FEDERAL government stop paying 80% for federal employee families health premium - drop it to 50%,
4) Increase the FEDERAL employee health insurance deductible to $1000 like most private employers now have,
5) make all senators and house of representatives serve NO MORE than 2 term limits - ends the power of long term senators, etc to force senators, etc to approve EARMARKS on bills alreday released from committee
6) Go to a flat tax Federal tax program so the IRS audits can stop (laying off 50% of that organizations tax payer supported staff)
7) after 1st child's birth to a single mom STOP paying for single mom's child birth , offer free sterilization - more than 1/2 the baby's being born in the US now being paid for by the government (TAXPAYERS in other words) and don't give these single mom's, who are abusing the free childbirth /single mom welfare system by having child after child out of wedlock, money to support more than 1 child
8) NO Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare benefits to ANYONE NOT A US CITIZEN even if their "citizen" child brings them into the US - as are all being done now for NON Citizens!
9) Give the President Line Item Veto rights
10) Give life in prison to ANY politician find guilty of any abuse of power or corruption while in office
11) OUR prisons - lower the taxes to care for the Prisoners - no more coffee or juice, let them drink water at ALL MEALS, feed them oatmeal/toast for breakfast, peanut butter/jelly sandwiches with crackers for lunch and inexpensive stew (easy to make and serve requiring less kitchen labor) And for medicines make them pay the FULL COST of medicine - why reduce their costs out of taxpayers pockets ? I didn't unjustly put them in prison THEY BROKE the law - suffer the CONSEQUENCES
STOP THE MADNESS
P.S. Anyone running on the above platform will WIN any FUTURE elections, so Go for IT you TRUE AMERICANS!
Once again a democratic president must bring the nation together after 8 years of republican misconduct and error. Less than 2 months into the job and republicans are still panicing over Presidnet Obama's election, making up lies about democratics buyes remorse and trying to smear the positive poll numbers. What fool cancels their subscription then posts online? I doubt serioulsy they ever had a subscription. Newsweek is by far one of the few magazines left that report real news on a daily internte basis and weekly magazine basis. Unlike the National Review or other right wing rags that pump up lies and distortions of the truth, Newsweek lays it on the line for all to read and think about, something the right wing zealots do not understand. Since William F Buckley died the right wing has lost their balance on reporting and drifted over to that fictional state of paranoia and hate mongering. Sad. But finally, we have a government that is looking out after America instead of the interest of the super elite. Let us hope and pray that the GOP becomes the party of 10% and never again bothers the american people.
And by the way-- the GOP is alive and well, and pulling together again, for the first time in YEARS-- we will come back STRONG, PRINCIPLED, and ready to FIGHT1
What a biased, Liberal piece of DUNG Newsweek has become! Obama's approval ratings HIGH? Who did you poll, anyway-- the usual suspects, everyone who is HOME collecting welfare during a work day? Funny-- every Liberal fool in my office, who voted for Nobama is experiencing all kinds of buyers' remorse-- the man is a calculated Marxist, and your lack of intelligent, investigative, nonbiased news reporting is SICKENING! I just cancelled my subscription, and I hope your filthy Leftist Marxist rag goes out of business, and leaves you all on the unemployment line-- a fitting end, since you will then be able to collect all that free government cheese that Nobama has promised you!
As the saying goes, "actions speak louder than words." I am wholly unimpressed by Obama and most of the rest of those who are supposed to represent me (but clearly don't.) Their actions contradict their words and promises. I don't think it matters if you're a Democrat or a Republican. What matters is that if you're a hard-working, tax-paying citizen, your interests are no longer represented by the majority in power. The only people they're looking out for are themselves. Clearly, this is not new (unique) to this administration and just as clear is the fact that it hasn't changed with this administration at all either. This administration is no worse, but no better either and therefore continues to make the problems worse. I don't think this country will survive unless we, as hard-working, tax-paying private cizitens act NOW and demand that our leaders in Wahington D.C. represent OUR interests ahead of their own and we demand that our leaders THINK before they act. Haste makes waste and all that....that's been shown throughout history. We need a 2009 version of the Boston Tea Party...meaning, a revolt by the average citizen that's big enough to let our leaders (and I use the term loosely) know that we are not happy with the job they're doing and we're not willing to let them keep gonig as they have been...meaning, acting in a way that's for their own benefit at our expense.
Fineman's artical "A Turning Tide" is ridiculous. President OBama has been in office about 50 days and already Fineman is evaluating his performance as poor. Additionally, some of the points that Fineman makes are inaccurate or no longer relevant at least. For example, the criticism of helping Citi Bank...as of yesterday we learned that things are turning around for Citi. Also the President is about to unveil a more definitive (and I'm sure a well thought out) plan for helping the banking sector. I am releved that we have a President that doesn't respond with a knee jerk reaction to tough problems...like some in the media seem to do. It is frustrating to read and hear from some of the writers in the media who themselves don't thoroughly evaluate the situation they are writing about. Why is Fineman so impulsive to judge? The majority of people including the best educated are behand the President and still believe he will develop and execute the plans and programs ncessary to bring our economy and country back from the devastation caused by the previous administration. Come on Fineman...Bush had 8 years to mess this up and you are giving President OBama 50 days. Should your judgement be trusted?
I would agree with this comment,
how immature Finman really is just proves that the GOP is dead. We need better leadership than Rush, O Reilly, etc. the ole gang that has supported the GOP in the past. They are destroying our country and our ability to come out of this economic stagnation.
cairos boy you are funny. "And the nothing else..." All I can say is ya need to study the Sub-Saharan nations and see who are running the countries. They ain't colonies no more, look at S Africa, and what was Rhodesia, these were decent run countries at one time, the bad old Europeans tried to help but to no avail. Look at the Sudan, Dafur. The US has been sinking money there for a long time but to no avail either. So yes there is something else its called HISTORY! try reading up and researching some topics and quit believing anything that comes out of the mouths of Politicians (both parties), liberal news media or todays schrool books and or colleges. In other words "Quit being unsophisticated"!!!
Both parties, Ratpubelicans and Dumbocraps, are losers. The rats lost due to their own stupidity, now we have the dumbs stupidity to deal with. They both DISREGARD the CONSTITUTION. We need intelligence in politics and we don't have it or have not had it since before 1860. Example..."The accounts of the United States ought to be, and may be made, as simple as those of a common farmer, and capable of being understood by common farmers." per Thomas Jefferson. This we do not have, we need HONEST PEOPLE, not LOSER Lawyers, career politicians. Heck the welfare people might as well be running the Guberment, couldn't be any worse, or could it?
One more Jefferson Quote...
When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
Let's see. He sent Comrade Clinton off to China to get on her knees and beg them to buy bonds. He sent her grobling to terroist nations in the Middle East and told Russia he won't put missels in Poland if they will convince the Iranians not to build nuclear weapons. If this is his foreign policy we are doomed. He passes the buck. All the policies are coming from Comrade Poloci the modern day czar and King Reed. They both see themselves as more powerful than he and they are showing it. He's a doofus and even they know it. The only hope we have is to dethrone Comrades Poloci, King Reed and their socialist politburo form office in 2010 and toss him in 2010. This man cannot even talk to the press or any;one else without a teleprompter and the press called Bush dumb? His press secretary is a real bumbler. Comrade Obama will go down side by side with the Peanut Farmer as the two worst presidents this country has ever had. By the time he leaves office and has screwed this country and turned it into Socialism he will have aged so much he will look like Redd Foxx. Look at him real closely he already is taking on a likeness.
Obama hasn't even been in office for two months. It seems to me that it's far too early for any assignement of credit (or blame)!
Scuromondo. You are just too rational for this discussion (and a breath of fresh air). It's fun to see the irrational nay-sayers work their blood pressure to new heights. They need to come back when results are in. THAT must be beyond their mental grasp though.
goodbyebig you need more friends if you only know 2 people who are ok with Obama...what are you afraid of? Hopefully its his politics that you dislike, and nothing else...
