    Folks, it's called a 'honeymoon phase' -- the sheeple will quickly get tired of this one trick pony.

    So a smaller % of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction than voted for Hussein Obama. Interesting. I guess not everyone has pissed out their kool-aid yet (although some clearly have). Given enough time, the unqualified fraud we have leading our feral government will change the Sheeple's minds. If they have minds.

    I know I'm not supposed to take your posts seriously, but when you say, "not everyone has pissed out their kool-aid yet (although some clearly have)" you imply that Obama voters are losing faith that the country is headed in the right direction. But the link says this:
    So I guess I don't get it. :confused:

    His overall disapproval rating has gone up pretty steadily during the stock market upturn.

    Well 40% of the people don't pay taxes so in order to get a majority of people to get with the program just throw money at everything and get a few more to come over by playing the class warfare game.

    Didn't FDR get elected 4 times by doing this?

    "Making things up" is the new Post-Obama GOP talking point.
    It's going really well!

    Things will change when the health care debate explodes. When Obama tries to push some of his big priorities through Congress, his popularity will go down, maybe a lot.

    Most Americans support national health care. And the GOP doesn't even have a plan except to repeat the same nonsense that killed them in the election. I think you're dead wrong here.

    Health care is a divisive issue. Divisive debates lead to harsh rhetoric and exaggeration. This will cause Obama's favorable ratings to decline (and probably the GOP's too). It's a part of being president and making things happen. If nothing gets enacted, the decline could be pretty big. The Dems using the reconciliation process to avoid a fillibuster is also risky (even if the GOP is being intransigent).

    Obama's approval ratings are going to dip at some point, but who really cares unless it's because of a scandal or major mis-step?

    Well, 63.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

    I didn't realize 40% of Americans never buy any products or use any gas and have illegally opted out of Social Security and Medicare. The problem is a lot worse than I had assumed!

    Not exactly but you have to understand where Donkeymagic and his bitterness is coming from.

    He used to hang out on GARM because of his man-crush on Gundy and over here at D&D because of his....yup you guessed it, man-crush on Bush.

    Now that both have made an exit (neither on a good note), he needs to find something to do.
