    its not that i don't like him, but it seems like everyone just likes him blindly just because he is black. (not being racist, but it seems people like him just because he is black and not because of his policies) He honestly hasn't done that much in office.

    It would be more interesting to see this poll begun anew in order to compare the previous versus the current results, even though the results here are highly biased as a result of the sample used.

    Had the electorate voted with knowledge instead of emotion the subject of the poll would not have been Obama

    I agree, but the results would probably still be about the same. The country is greatly divided and becoming more so by the politicians we're offered, and those who control them.
    Religion was one of the first methods of government, and politics with or without religion still makes use of many of the same tools as religion to divide people against one another.

    Obama's success is a matter of what he intends to accomplish, and I think in his own view, and that of his supporters he is quite successful.

    I admire the health care push. But still the passing of drilling operations by the test under the Federal Government shows me he supports such negative capitalist endeavors or has a lack of control over his own departments.

    The only thing that will make this country better is for Obama, Biden, Pilosi and Reed to resign immediately. Since this will never happen, hopefully the elections this year will send a message to the Great Dictator, Die Furher you are not, so stop acting like him.

    The fact that humans have finite lifetimes allows government to create situations (problems) for their benefit which demands fixes that are more undesirable than allowing the problem to continue, which is attended to in ways that just put it off and worsen it for a future generation yet to be born. Obama's primary success will be in bringing about not a classless society, but a visibly two class society, the haves and the have equally littles. The real power, a class of it's own, will remain invisible, unknown and untouchable.

    1, I think when it's all said and done, obama will become the worst president in U.S. history. But by that time, we will have had total economic collapse and wiill have become a banana republic..such a shame

    Obama is doing more damage to this country than any other event or person in history. Anyone who believes he's doing a good job is not paying attention.

    Hilary would've been terrible, she's the one who wanted to ban violent video games 15 years ago.

    Wasn't it an enforcement of the age limits on games and fines for those that sold them to persons under that age?

    Uh there are multiple theories besides keynesian, and many keynesian completely disagree with how much and what Obama spent stimulus on.

    Assuming that you could enforce a law making people responsible for paying their credit card charges, how would elections turn out if we eliminated taxes entirely, and you could sign up for multiple credit cards which would then be placed in the ballot boxes for the candidates of your choice to use as he/she desired to pay for the government programs they created? Essentially that's how we vote today, with the exception that the credit cards have no names on them.
    Were I a Communist, Marxist, Socialist, Progressive, Liberal, or a Democrat, I would rate Obama AND the current Congress a 10, however I'm not so I would have to rate him a 1, as that's the lowest available. The question is, will we be able to undo the harm that has been done, both past and present, or will we continue down the slope and become just another society that will be recorded in history as one who rose and failed? Bubbles are interesting, in a free economy you have many bubbles created and some of them are continually breaking, while new ones take their place. If you contain all those bubbles inside a single bubble (government), each time one of those small bubbles bursts, the government bubble grows larger. When the large bubble (government) eventually bursts it releases the contained pressure it provided and many of the weaker bubbles contained inside rapidly burst. Those will be the survivors. I hope each of you have created very strong personal bubbles.

    He gives me the creeps because he's treated like some kind of damn celebrity. And he's fucking sleek, it creeps me out. I think it's great we have a black president and all, but...face it, way more people voted than they would have in a normal election. Shitloads of Americans already don't vote anyway, which is kind of disappointing to me. How much different would things be if they did?

    A -10 would even be to high. There is not a number low enough. This President is the biggest failure I have had the misfortune of observing.
