I know. Our country is in sad shape. I am sorry for the disillusionment you must be feeling and our country owes you a debt of gratitude. Thank You.

His hopes for bipartisanship? That was just him reading someone else's words on a telepromptor. He had an agenda, as did (does) our congress, and a bipartisan government does not play into it.

Ellen, in referring to the religious community, please do not list categories as "Christian, Catholic, and Jew". The Christian Church includes Catholics. I happen to be Protestant, so my beliefs obviously would differ in many respects; but it bothers me to hear anyone suggest that Catholics are not Christians.

Fox News is "all in†on the destruction of this administration by amassing an evening lineup of openly conservative commentators. If the President turns the economy around what will Fox have to bash? Polls go up and down just like the stock market if things start getting better in the next year the President’s poll numbers will no longer be reported by Fox at all. Nothing Fair, Nothing Balanced when it comes to Fox New “The Republican News Networkâ€

When Obama campaigned on change, I don't think anyone had the idea the type of change he meant. He reached deep down and pulled the plug and sold America down the drain. I have to agree it did have it's beginning during the Bush White House...

Obama's poll numbers from Rasmussen have obama's approval rating dropping to 56% and falling. In a leaked memo, obama has amassed 80,000 US Troops in the event American citizens revolt against him and his Administration and will impose Martial Law. Homes will be searched for firearms. If I wanted to be a socialist, I would have moved to Europe. But I believe they want a one party system running our country, the left has already installed new rules in Congress which keeps Republicans out of debates, and the most serious is using a new tool which will remove the 60 votes needed to pass a bill or a law in the Senate and make it a law by a single vote over 50. On another topic, we have two missile defense systems tried and tested. the most effective is the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, the other, which would have fooled N. Korea would have been the air borne lasers which heat up the missile so fast it explodes in about 15 to 20 seconds. It would just look like another failure. Bush would have used either of them, like Bush or not, at least he did what he said he would do.

Obama continues to change policy and implement programs exactly as his opposition predicted in the campaign and yet supporters ask that we give him a chance. I can't help wondering what else he would do if he was given an additional proverbial inch? And why is he still campaigning, unless he just needs to keep up the facade of his campaign promises while he dismantles our republic?

Has anybody wondered what we will do with the Bush haters if we get a true conservative in? My big complaint with President Bush was he wasn't a fiscal conservative, yet many were frothing at the mouth over him. Confronted with a Regan-esque conservative the only direction they have to go is to start tearing off limbs and beating each other with them.

It seems curious that the Pew Research website is down after publicizing this poll. The left always said President Bush and Vice President Cheney were the most polarizing figures in D.C., but there has been no main stream discussion of this poll.

Come on Woody you know that anything that is detremental to the Obama Administration never gets on MSM. Have you seen anything yet on MSM showing how Bershire Hathaway, George Soros the rest of Mr. Obamas so called advisor are making millions off of the TARP bailout.

This is not surprising. There are so many people who, for their own reasons, refuse to give PRESIDENT OBAMA a chance. Considering all the posts I've read on this site acusing him of being everything from a socialist to the Anti-Christ, I guess there's nothing he can do to win over his critic's except do his job and forget about trying to please the un-pleaseable.
Monday, April 06, 2009 at 10:18 AM

ddland45 it might just behove Mr Obama to quit spouting off how bad the United States is and try stating to the overseas nations the importance of working together from a mutual standpoint at this time. It seems the U.S. never has a problem bailing out nations but when the need arises the overseas quarter never can assist. How come that is I wonder?
Monday, April 06, 2009 at 12:56 PM
ddland45
Charlie, the President never said anything about "how bad the United Sates is". and he has stressed more than the previous administration about the importance of working together regarding terrorism and the global economy.
Its harder now because of the past positions we've taken that if Europe didn't agree with us, then we'd go it alone. President Obama is trying to change that. And as far as us bailing out other nations, I guess China buying up our debt and keeping our economy going doesn't count?

Could the difference be the fact that the Radical Far left has gotten control of the Democratic Party? Thus the theme of the party is go along with us or you are out. Or maybe it is just the fact that the ones left in the democratic party who speak out are the radical leftists.

Yes! That is why I left the Democratic Party recently. My values no longer could be found with them...anywhere. I find it sad but it is a process that has happened over the last 40 years. The hippies grew up and got educated and now they are teaching our children and altering our Text books to teach them lies. Why do you think most people under 30 have a big diploma but not really an education?
I think it is a concerted attack on America that has been in the making for 40 years and that Obama represents that movement.

I have read the "Left Behind" series, and it seems to be unfolding right before our eyes. It was truly frightening how the masses of people seemed to be hypnotized by Obama. I am horrified that ANY christian, catholic, or jew voted for this man. He holds an ultra-liberal stance on promoting abortion, and has already committed funds to the Palestinian Hamas in the Gaza strip whose goals are to kill jews.
I believe that Obama wants the current economy to crash so that he can prop up the "world bank" idea. Then he can control all of our money. What next, computer chip implanted to buy or sell? Be afraid!!
