President Obama's Ledgie Approval Rating- 2nd Edition

^ The vagueness of Ethan's above post is yet another example of how ignorant some Americans (especially college students) are. Not singling you out, Ethan. It's the majority of college students out there who got swept up by Obama's charm from the get-go.

Alexa, it's not so much the charm that I like. It's the fact that he cares about getting stuff done. I do see where you're coming from though. Only time will tell if the changes will end up helping or hurting the nation. One thing though that needs to be addressed is the debt, and although some of the programs implemented may help in the long run, how the heck are we going to pay for everything?!?! I didn't say that I'm in love with Obama, because I'm not. It is positive, however, seeing change being made.

BTW, why aren't we FB friends anymore?

I voted I don't know. I'm a Democrat, but it seemed to me that press handed Obama election, no matter how much they deny it. He was never really tested. They did everything to Clinton to hinder her. And I sorta watched in horror as Democrats tore apart the only people who successfully beat the Republicans at their own game. That was stupid. Obama won because he was nice, promised change and is black. That's the truth.

Problem is Obama is really not change. He won't stand behind his Progressive Party. He sorta threw them under the bus. I don't know how many times he can get screwed by the Republican Party and not learn. They are not going to work with him. He comes across as naive, not tuff. I do think he is a hard worker, but he needs to grow up and get out of his bubble. I don't think history is going to be as kind to him as people think. Infact, I'm not sure he will get relected.

However, in my opinion, the Republican Party is a disaster. And it seems to me that they don't care about this country at all. Instead of working with the president, they've done nothing but bitch and whine and mope. They are horrible and juvenile. They just want to hurt the Democrats because they think people will forget Bush. Their motto is "Complain and get your way." It's not really working that well anymore since people realize that is was basically these people who ruined the country.

I voted for Obama and may again, but I wish there was another option. I don't think Obama can find a middle ground. I find him to be very elequent and smart. But he just doesn't seem like a leader. However, there is nothing worse than a dumb president, whose life was based on priveledge, who did have leadership ability—Bush! That man wasn't even smart. He got into ivy league schools because of his dad. He got bad grades. He was a cocaine addict with 3 failed businesses. The only reason he became rich was because of his dads contacts. His whole life was based on priveledge. Then again, Al Gore couldn't even win his own state. What a disaster! There are no good options.
