Second, you are from another planet if you think there are any “competent adults” out there waiting to take over. Politics are destroying this country and will continue to do so. Thats something you tell a 4 year old because they don’t know any better and it sounds warm and fuzzy. And the average American voter…as you decribe them…treats the election like a popularity contest. They don’t want to be bothered by facts or important issues…they want to know what God the person worships, have they ever cheated on their wife or husband, and the always important abortion issue. So when you want to examine energy policy or the economy, they watch a few minutes of news and assume the administration is a failure. Yes of course…the dangerous intellectual in power, bent on turning America into evil socialists, who is secretly a Muslim, ah yes I know, its terrible. Wake up. Oh and I’m white by the way to clear up any…eh…other reasons.

I agree with Roughe that Obama is doing far better than any of our other options would have. Unfortunately, most of the rest of his party has assumed that they’re in control and that they don’t have to compromise while the Republicans are doing their very best to make Obama look bad whenever possible, even at the expense of the lives and livelihoods of the American people.
It seems that partisanship on both sides of the aisle is taking priority over the immense problems the nation is facing right now. If there’s something that Obama needs to improve on, he’s got to knock his party out of its ivory tower and try to convince some Republicans to come out of their trenches and actually do something useful.
I just hope that this next election can inject some actual moderates into the system, but I have a feeling that is very wishful thinking.

Hey free4me, Did you know the first slave owner was black? John Punch was an indentured servant who bought his freedom and then, long story short, made his indentured servant a slave. That was in 1640 in Massachusetts. By the time George Washington came into the picture, slavery was already a big part of the economy and before the Constitution and Bill of Rights. That doesn’t mean he supported or like it.. Read the Constitution and tell me if that supported slavery..

“Obama ratings crumble”– Clearly this story was written with an anti-democrat slant. George W Bush had absolutely disgusting approval ratings his entire second term, well below where Obama’s are now, and yet the country wasn’t burning back then was it? Now, as soon as he scores anything more than 51% disapproval (something that every president has done in recent history) the nation is “crumbling”?

“punish Democrats who have had control of Washington since early 2009.” Nice attempt to spin this as “Americans not giving the Dems enough time” but the truth is that Pelosi and Harry and the Dems have been in charge of Congress since the 2006 mid-term elections when they won majorities in both houses. Back then Bush urged Congress to fix Fannie and Freddie’s budget gaps and mismanagement. But speaker Nancy and Barney Frank refused to do anything saying that there was no problem. Now we find out that Fannie and Freddie were backing loans to anybody who could fog up a mirror and then packaging them into mortgage backed securities. I say that Dems own at least 50% of the initial problem, 90% of the bailouts and 100% of the job killing measures taken since then.

President Obama, and all the members of congress cannot create jobs other than a Public Works Program.
We have been losing jobs to Mexico and China and any other place where wages are less than $1 a day for about 30 years now. CEO’s of large corporations are to blame. Congress from both parties who passed tax laws allowing write offs for “out-sourcing” all these jobs are to blame, and finally Consumers who continue to purchase items made in China, Mexico, etc are to blame.
