Thirty-three percent (33%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -1 (http://www.rasmussenrepor...a_approval_index_history blocked::http://www.rasmussenrepor" href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/obama_approval_index_history" target=_self>see trends). On the Generic Congressional Ballot, Republicans now have a two-point edge. Americans are evenly divided on the climate change bill passed by the House last week-37% favor it and 41% are opposed. Forty-two percent (42%) believe it will hurt the economy and 19% believe it will help. Most (56%) are not willing to pay more in taxes and utility costs to fight Global Warming. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll Gunsite "Well yes, doom and gloom is a result of fear, which itself is a natural consequence of an inability to think for oneself." -Satch-the prophet

Forty-five percent (45%) disapprove. Hmmm, they went to some effort to come up with a negative number. And their poll is an outlier to begin with. Probably to early to begin the celebrations, Van.

No quiet restrained diplomacy with overtures and concessions to socialists. We'd either be better or have no hope of recovery. For example...Korea. McCain would have gone in with the first nuke test. Taken over the country by now. Palin can see Korea from her back yard. Who wants a missile in their back yard? McCain woulda just let GM and Chrysler go under. Fuck 'em, who needs 'em. Too many carmakers anyway. Iran....rigged election...turn Israel lose on 'em. Odds are, if McCain won...gas would be 99 cents and the DOW would be around 12000 and on it's way to a new record.

Everyone would have a Ford, David. That is, if we'd elected McCain/Palin....but we didn't. Now we got Obama trying to help Chavez and Castro get the socialist back in power in Honduras. We own GM and nobody wants to buy their cars. We're in debt up until 2131. Tax hikes. Canada is pissed off. An apparent racist for Supreme Court justice. Iran rigged the election. Iraq is going to hell. And gas is $2.50 a gallon already and the DOW is starting to fall again. It would all be different if we'd have elected McCain/Palin.

Right. You've already explained how they would have fixed everything: letting GM and Chrysler fail would have fixed the economy. And dropping lots of bombs would have solved all our foreign policy problems, just like how it worked in Iraq.

I mean, he used to sing "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran". America rose to greatness under leadership that attacked problems intensely. Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR...Harry Truman... Obama...he just want everybody to chill...don't worry, Obama say....I have borrowed enough money to cover us for awhile, Obama say....

I think "rashly" is the word you're looking for. It's a long uphill climb, Kenny Lee, to try to convince us that McCain would have cleaned up the messes Bush left by acting like Bush to the nth power.

It's a long uphill climb, Kenny Lee, to try to convince us that McCain would have cleaned up the messes Bush left by acting like Bush to the nth power. McCain has never been like Bush....sure, there was some campaign rhetoric to that point....but nobody thought McCain was like Bush. And once again....you invoke the name of Bush....in a discussion that has nothing to do with Bush. History lesson: Every new president is handed a load of problems to handle, David. We don't elect new presidents to say "it's all the previous guys fault...I got nothing..." We elect new presidents to fix our problems...whatever they are. McCain is an intense guy...he would have attacked our problems intensely... You can say it wouldn't have worked....but Obama's way has yet to work...so you got nothing yet. When Obama's way starts working...then you got something.

He's a real independent maverick. > We elect new presidents to fix our problems...whatever they are. In this case, what you described are problems left by the last guy. > McCain is an intense guy...he would have attacked our problems intensely.. Intensity counts for diddly if it's not smart. What you described is Bush's mistakes all over again, but more intense.

Looking a little spindecisive there, Van. Still looking for just the right angle? Anyway, hard to see how Obama would be making Bush look good. You might not like his approach to cleaning up the mess Bush left, but Bush still left the mess. Since you started this thread with a poll, maybe you'll want to check out the latest favorable/unfavorable on Bush?

The honeymoon hasn't even started. The Obama administration folks are still cleaning up the mess leftover from the last 8-years of Republican policies. Let's look at the polls in 6 years... > It would all be different if we'd have elected McCain/Palin. Frankly? We couldn't afford them or their proposed policies, Kenny. Especially right after Bush/Cheney. And, I personally thank my dear God each day that we didn't elect them ... and I continue to hope prayerfully each day that Republicans stay away from occupying the White House for at least 8 years...
