I am still proud of President Barack H. Obama and think he's doing a wonderful job
President Obama, if you or your staff is reading this, just know that these people do not speak for all of us.

Many of us understand the hand you were dealt and we understand how hard it is to get laws passed in this country. We do NOT suffer from short term memory and we have patience because we are focused on the longterm results.

And most Democrats, including myself, are still extremely proud that you are our President.

19. "These people"........hmmm, where have I heard that before?
This Democratic President is also the Democratic Party "leader". He ain't leading shit.

He's another fucking corporate stooge. Very sad!

Continue with the nauseating hero-worship though. Carry on. :banghead:

There are a lot of people who have posted their displeasure at the Obama Administration and the OP feels otherwise

I don't agree with the OP, but the post hurts no one and makes some people feel better

Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 11:21 PM by rpannier
But, I can't understand why anyone would unrec this post.
It's an opinion piece that I don't think belittles people (like myself) who don't agree

The unrec feature is becoming abused by people who push it every time they see a post they don't agree with

on edit: I'm going to rec this post because I think (sadly) it's attracting a lot of dissatisfied who have a problem with people being happy

40. Sure clown
Read it and weep

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/demographic_notes_barack_obama_approval_index

December 14, 2009: Seventy-two percent (72%) of Democrats now offer their approval while 80% of Republicans disapprove. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, just 36% approve.

Seventy-seven percent (77%) of liberals approve while 76% of conservatives disapprove. The bad news for the President is that there are a lot more conservatives in the country than liberals. However, he gets a bit of a boost because 57% of moderate voters still offer their approval.

The President earns approval from 37% of White voters and 98% of African-American voters.

57. This is kind of a weird poll (I usually pay no mind to polls) but it does provide more data
Edited on Fri Dec-18-09 02:08 AM by Number23
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1209/30679.html

According to this poll by the Clarus Research Group (never heard of them) Obama has a 93% approval rating among Democrats.

Pew has his number of Democratic support at 84%: "Nonetheless, an overwhelming proportion of liberal Democrats (84%) say Obama is doing an excellent or good job "in standing up for the traditional positions of the Democratic Party."
http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1444/obamas-challenge-december-approval-conservative-shift

The Pew article is not a bad read. Talks about how the country has made a significant conservative shift, even becoming more supportive of gun rights.

Not that what Obama has done is anywhere near as bad as what Bush has done, but it seems some people will support their guy no matter what and make excuses for the things they do.

You dont show these stupid bastards what a real tea bag is like and stop letting them run shit when we are the majority. Also legalize weed. If not that then just remove federal penalties and allow states to decide the matter for their citizens. Save money where its being wasted. The Iraq/Afghanistan wars I get you cant or wont pull the plug on so how about our war on drugs. Pick any failed war this country is in right now.
