    Listen genius, and since you're Polish, I'll try to not go beyond two syllables for you. Obama had TWO, count them, TWO years in office, plus a Democrat supermajority that was already in place for him. He STILL did not get anything done. The "Tea Party" revolt didn't come until the mid-terms of 2010, where the Republicans became a majority. Blame them all you want, but your lame duck messiah has done NOTHING since being elected. NOTHING - even with a Democrat stronghold. Unemployment ROSE to 10% and is finally, and very recently, falling slightly. Gas prices are not getting better. Nothing has CHANGED. Hope and change was a ruse that you and millions fell into. Drink the Kool-Aid, chap, keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

    It will be interesting to see how many of the Tea Partyers will be re-elected in 2012, both in Congres and state legislatures, I heard the Tea Partyers scream loud and long about reducing the budget and lowering costs to save us money and yet, I am paying almost $4.00 a gallon for gas, milk and food prices continue to soar, they blame Obama, and any budget veto Obama issues will easily be over ridden the Republican congress

    Amazing how many people on here have their head in the sand and/or butt. So, there's no possible way that the president, whom we really don't even know who or what he is, could possibly have an agenda to socialize this country? Think again. This guy is working overtime to do just that.

    Felicity is spot on. He is busy bankrupting his competition via the tax structure. If everybody is broke, who can afford to run against him. He's a sneaky devil. Check him out:

    Barack Hussien Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

    Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83). He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled. Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti-american. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University.

    They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival .... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.
    Why not?

    They have no responsibility to pay for it.Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.
    Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
    Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."

    Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government. Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security, Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting th

    It's caused by American apathy. Most people are too lazy to vote and many of the ones that do are too lazy to do their homework on whom they are voting for.

    They vote and and hope whomever they voted for is going to do a good job and solve all problems. Well that hasn't happened in a long time, has it?

    Remove them all and lets start over! I think the last election was really screwed up. I don't know who's right, but it isn't Obama!

    Are people really this dumb or having fun with polls like these? To blame a President for all that they don't like in the country is ludicrous. If they had any sense, they'd understand that it takes years for many policies to take effect, whether positive or negative. The economy is better now that he's been in office for awhile...so, not all bad. The bigger issue is the ignorance on both sides of motivating a populous properly and simply doing what's right. Want National Security? OK, how about bringing our troops home and getting their butts out of countries they have no business in. What about oil? Well, if we could just drill baby drill in the U.S., don't you think the BIG money people in the U.S. would want in on that? Truth is most of our good oil is already gone and the sweet stuff remains in the middle east. If we're there (Iraq) why not just take the stuff!! Kidding...well, maybe.
    As far as entitlement programs...they should not be eliminated, just earned by setting stricter limits and qualifications to receive them in the first place. However, if we reduced our military budget by bringing troops home, we'd be safer with them protecting our borders, ports and we'd have more money available to keep good programs like Medicaid/Medicare funded and ween the 'undesirables' off of welfare...yes, even in America we can't escape class warfare as the populous continues to grow we cannot support all those hungry mouths and police the world...

    If we didn't have a Socialist in charge we'd be doing much better! He's the redistribution chief, forcing higher taxes to benefit lazys and losers.
