Obama: Dead in the Water...is it true?

[WBU ALUM]

. . .
will accept the legitimacy of Obama, as an African-American, as president of this great nation.

. . .
However, any careful observer of the media or listener to talk radio across our nation can only conclude that the antagonistic opposition to Obama is because of who he is, pure and simple.

Anyone who starts making this an argument about Obama's race and skin color has lost the argument. :-"

[merchant seaman]

When all else fails play the race card. Obama's failure's will have nothing to do with racism, more likely be to lying to the American public.

Yes, making progress.

CNN poll shows Obama approval collapsing.

CNN: Majority No Longer Trust Obama
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government ... ke-big-hit

Over the course of just one month, President Obama's approval rating in the CNN/ORC poll has dropped a full eight points to 45%–his lowest rating in eighteen months. His disapproval rating climbed to 54%. On the all-important issue of trust, the president took a nine point hit. Only 49% of those surveyed believe Obama is honest. This is the first time he has been rated under 50% on this question and the lowest level of his presidency.

In worse news, back in 2006, only 52% of Americans disapproved of how President George W. Bush handled government surveillance of Americans. Today, a full 60% disapprove of Obama on the same issue.

This is likely due to the fact that Bush always made clear that the War on Terror was his foremost concern and that he was doing everything possible to make us safe. On the other hand, Obama ran against Bush's surveillance state and now tells us that the War on Terror is pretty much over. But then we learn that, rather than wind down the surveillance along with the war, he has put it on steroids.

It is apparent that all the scandals have finally taken a toll, especially among those under thirty, where the president saw a 17% decline in approval. Approval among Independent voters collapsed ten percent, to a measly 37%. Disapproval rocketed 12 points to 61%.

CNN's polling director Keating Holland says, "It is clear that revelations about NSA surveillance programs have damaged Obama's standing with the public, although older controversies like the IRS matter may have begun to take their toll as well[.]"

Yes, making progress.

Well, good luck with hating everything Obama on a site about Udon Thani, Thailand. If you think such behavior is sane, at least you are not hurting anyone and it keeps you in the house and off the streets.

Cheers!

Any way to make it personal, make it about race and silence dissent. That's your trademark.

Ya betta go pass those words of wisdom on to all those guys chit-chatting about soccer in Europe on a site about Udon Thani, Thailand.

Last night, on CNN, it was revealed that a new poll has Bush Jr. ahead of Obama in popularity. This is surprising. Apparently, the President's support base is more than a little rattled by the lies he told the people about surveillance. After all, he did post himself as morally superior to Bush in that he would never intrude on their private lives. His defender in the debate put forth the argument that a sitting president should not be held accountable for something he said on the campaign trail before he held the oval office. So it goes....

Yes, GWB is ahead of Obama in popularity these days -- according to some polls. CNN is just one of them. That is surprising in that Obama ran on the idea "I'm not Bush." And yes, Laan Yaa Mo, Barack Obama put himself on the moral high ground during the campaign. Said he wouldn't intrude on people's privacy. Said he would change the tone in Washington. blah blah blah. We're seeing once again that his statements have expiration dates.

Apparently, the people surveyed by CNN feel differently than Barack Obama's defender. The People vote based on what someone says on the campaign trail. The People feel betrayed.

Obama loses German hearts and minds ahead of Berlin visit
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obam ... 03976.html

In 2008, Obama’s candidacy represented everything Germans love about America: its tolerant society and limitless potential. He also offered a chance to put the trans-Atlantic animosity of the George W. Bush years in the past by embracing issues dear to German hearts: global warming, closing the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and ending the war in Iraq.

But with Guantanamo still open, Obama under fire for sanctioning lethal drone attacks abroad, and recent revelations about the National Security Agency’s global electronic surveillance programs, many Germans are taking to the streets and the Internet to protest his visit.

Under sunny blue skies, Obama was bashed for everything from the NSA’s spying to failing to end racism in the United States. The stage was even adorned with a poster showing Dr. Martin Luther individual Jr. uttering his famous line, “I have a dream.” Underneath was Obama saying, “I have a drone.”

While two pensioners held aloft a banner reminding Obama that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize, one man, who refused to give his name, wore a handwritten sign around his neck with a warning about the particularly German concern of personal privacy: “Democracy: Citizens watch government. Tyranny: Government watches citizens.”

And Germans know and understand the tyranny that comes with big government.

[WBU ALUM]

Pictures are worth a thousand words. In this case, they're worth THOUSANDS of people LESS at the Obama speech in Berlin as compared to 2008 when he was running for President of the World.

Like the song says, "The Thrill is Gone."

[merchant seaman]

Actually the people in 2008 hadn't come to see Obama but were there for a rock concert. Obama's speech game at half time of the concert.

Yes, I remember that now. They held a rock concert in 2008 in conjunction with the visit to create that illusion of worship.

Instead of talking to the German people he needs to start talking to the American people, take responsibilty, and start to lead the country and stop hiding and hoping things will just go away in time. Mt. Rushmore? More like the wall of shame.

The problem is, Obama and the members of his administration are incapable of being honest with Americans when they are forced to talk. Hillary, who ran off into retirement to formulate her presidential aspirations lied to Congress and actually said "what difference does it make" that four Americans were murdered. She hasn't been seen since her departure. Eric Holder openly lied to Congress and then refused to respond to the same questions. Senior members of the IRS are claiming 5th amendment rights to self incrimination. Obama has repeatedly lied and has no interest in forcing his justice department to "get to the bottom" of all these scandals. His FBI director testified to congress that he, Mueller, had no clue who in his department was heading the investigation into the Obama sandal and also had no idea how many investigators there were. So obviously the Obama strategy is continued deception, ignorance and arrogance hoping the little people will just go away.

Been following the G8 gathering in Ireland ... if this group represent the heads of the most powerful countries in the world then god help us ,,,what a bunch of ditherers and bullshitters ,,, the only one with any back bone is Putin and he was cornered and made very uncomfortable by the tag team attack by Cameron and his buddy Obama ....

Cant name one world leader that does actually listen and respond to the people ,,,, oooppps forgot Thaksin .

And when it comes to foreign policy, you've got to wonder there, too.

Uses military force in Libya without going through Congress. Funds groups linked to terror in Libya and Egypt to overthrow governments there. Now making $1 BILLION available to Syrian rebels linked to terror to overthrow the government there.

I'm reminded of his big speeches on his famous "Apology Tour" after being elected in 2008. What happened to that idea of not being involved in the business of other countries? Just another philosophy with an expiration date, I guess.

Their surrogate is now occupying the Oval Office when he's not on the golf course or spending 100 million dollars of the tax payers money to take his brood on a visit to Germany.......

How is ObamaCare making care less expensive and providing better results? Got some case studies? Got some official data? Some links to something credible?

Rather, I repeat myself to u again, our current system is the highest cost in the world. It is less effective than MANY other countries wid different systems, primarily socialized systems... It needs changin. Ocare is an attempt to change it, apparently, to good reviews from people who have used it...

This is the kinda wordsmithin I see in most of ur stuff from Briebart.com and hotair.com...

You're playing word games.

If something is going to CHANGE something for the BETTER that has been EXPENSIVE, is it going to be LESS expensive or MORE expensive? So if it's not going to be cheaper, is it going to be more expensive? By the way, the CBO says "YES."

And DUDE, if you read the articles, both of those sources that you are attacking have LINKS WITHIN THE ARTICLES that come from news organizations and other sources. You choose not to read them, that's you, DUDE. Again, if there are SO MANY, you can easily be specific and refute what is bogus. You can't. You won't. You play word games. Keep on.

And I'm not angry at all. I'm informed, and I'm consistent, and I provide sources. That makes YOU angry. You keep trying to characterize me as something that I'm not while you spout your OPINIONS with nothing to back them up, DUDE.

Have a good day, DUDE.

Ground breaking news:

"US President plays golf AND makes overseas trips".

gmc, do you happen to know if Obama is playing golf while he is visiting the EU's leading nation?

You know, that EU, which is America's most important strategic ally, and largest trading partner?

Perhaps he should have stayed home to continue checking everyone's tax returns.
