Stevie Wonder: Obama Approval Down 'Cause People "Afraid Of Change"
Grammy award-winning musician Stevie Wonder said President Barack Obama's popularity has been decreasing because "people are afraid of change." Regarding health care reform, Wonder said people are "bickering over something that we should have had a long time ago."
"I think as far as his [Obama's] popularity decreasing, I think it's because people are so used to, they're so afraid of change and I think you have politics playing too much a role in what should be a natural, given that health care in this country needs to be improved and that's just a reality," Wonder told CNSNews.com in an exclusive interview before his performance at a benefit concert for the Maya Foundation, a Washington D.C.-based non-profit group that raises money for special education programs in private schools

Mr. Wonder, may I respectfully say, you are one of the most prolific song writers in the world, BUT please stay out of the political arena as you don't know what you're talking about. If this healthcare plan is so wonderful, why won't the House and Senate get on the plan themselves...including the Prez? I think I would be more receptive if they would do that. Whadaya think?

He is an authority on what?????? Health care is bad in America???? It will be after the Government takes over. Obama's popularity is down because he is bad for this country. He should have run in some third world country where he could hardly do any harm. Instead, we have him for a while and we will have to adjust. He will be gone in 2012, but more importantly, he will be crippled in 2010. Then our Entertainers can return to entertaining and stop trying to drug the rest of up so we will believe like they do.

So far his change has brought our family 2 lost jobs and maybe it will be 3.
Now my family is worried about health care-hope we have enough from our paycheck to pay our mortgage-but wait-I heard the gov. is going to give people a permanent bailout on mortgages. That will be good because my paycheck will be really tiny after paying for the gov. healthcare.

The only other profession with a higher percentage of stupidity than government is the entertainment industry. Want proof; Sean Penn, Bruce Springsteen, Tim Robbins, Spike Lee, Danny Glover, Bono, Harry Belafonte...all their IQ's combined don't hit the 100 mark.

Yea Stevie, I am afraid of this kind of change!. I really don't like the idea of China dictating what this country can do, and if they decide to cash in our debt, thays what will happen.

When Obama gets around openly to start taking all these hollywood stars and entertainers money for redistibution your gonna hear them screaming from their mansion rooftops . People need to just start drying up the money well for these PC stars & entertainers and bring them back down to earth .

I love the entertainment section of FoxNation......Post pictures of black people (well 3 out of 4 anyway), and invite the racist foxtrons to vomit their bigoted comments all in the name of "entertainment"

oh I thought that race card was gone...and, BTW...its not about color, but substance.
You should take your racist remarks over to the Jesse thread, they would fit better there.
Stevie, your right! Only a zombie numb skull liberal would greatfully accept change that would take all his money and force him to live in poverty!
constitutionman
That's because the loonies in congress are all rich enough that they will never suffer any of the consequences of their idiotic legislation. Didja ever wonder why the loonie left is made up of the super rich, and the abject poor and ignorant who are dependent on the super rich? No middle class working stiffs in there.

Destroying America is not the change we want stevie boy !

No Stevie, Barry's approval numbers are down because he's been exposed as the Marxist, Socialist, Racist, Bigot. that he is. He hates everything about America, yet kisses the as ses of everything Muslim. Barry's going to get a rude awakening come 2010, and be jobless in 2012. Maybe he can work for you Stevie, and you two can sing songs about hoax and chains.
DESTROY THE LEFT
If anyone can be more blind than Stevie, it's O Bummer.

Talk about the blind leading the blind... Obama is so full of his agenda and fulfilling that goal of his he has no idea what the country needs or wants. Nor does he care... That's is the whole problem with all of these progressives, they are like a kid at a party that has had too much sugar and is delirious and can't get enough.

Don't tread on me!
I love to hear Stevie Wonder sing by the way. Stevie is just another dumb entertainer when it comes to politics. It takes a person simply reading his comment to see he is just trying to somehow answer the question that the idiot reporter asked. The reporter is real stupid person. Theses dumb _ss liberals think an entertainer knows all things. Ask Stevie a question about something he knows.
Don't tread on me!
Wow! Stevie is pro health care. See what I mean. Imagine that; pro health care.
Don't tread on me!
Wow! I didn't know the i-phone was an example of health care technology. See what I mean. Stevie should fire his manager for not steering him around this. Keep singing Stevie. Singing is where your genious comes in. Keep singing. Don't answer anymore questions. I'm embarrassed for you.

People are against Obama's POLICIES because they are WRONG. He hasn't made a single correct decision in 11 months. That has resulted in ZERO accomplishments, and positioned us for a high risk environment. He will go down as THE WORST president EVER.
