If you voted for Obama in 2008
 

Would you vote for him today?

oh no, not you too :helpme

He only got elected because he was black, I think Americans are over that phase tho.

It's an unofficial poll!

However, I did not vote for him in 2008 and am not calling him disrespectful names.

i would not vote for him again today.. i will not vote for him for a second term..

i would vote for ron paul if he ran and even though i would be throwing my vote away, i would feel good about my choice..



.

given the exact same choices? yes.

obama could strip naked, paint a swastika on his chest and run screaming through the streets with his hair on fire and he'd still be a better choice than McCain/Palin. :2 cents:

Ron Paul is NOT a wasted vote, you might be surprised. :2 cents:

i'd love to see him have a real shot... :2 cents:

Obama is doing a great job...some American's need to stop being lazy and stop asking for Obama to "give me a job". Didnt George Bush Jr. tell these idiots that they are going to need to acquire new skills for "Jobs for the 21st Century" to help America get out of this ditch.

I hear you there. Don't know though and more on principle than anything else. He is one of the few in many years that I have confidence in.

What is it about Obama that you like so much buddy? Frankly I think that it's ironic that Merkel in Germany is doing the exact opposite of Obama and the US Congress, and while the US economic growth and unemployment remain terrible, the German economy and unemployment have gone back to pre-crisis levels. It's looking like Obama was wrong, and the lower spending crowd was right.... (although the US government will never admit it).

What is his appeal for you?


.

Didn't vote for him then, and sure as shit wouldn't vote for him in the future.

And didn't Big Daddy Obama tell them exactly the opposite and bought them a car company and health insurance --with taxpayer money-- to prove it?

am i a bit disappointed with him? maybe

but for me and most people outside the US it couldn't get any worse than Bush, so Obama is a relief.

and it's actually very sad to watch how it is not about politics and compromising in the US anymore but only about making his life as difficult as possible.

and does anyone really think that McCain/Palin would have done any better? Considering at what point the new president had to take over?

Hell, even the slightest thought of Palin being in charge in case McCain dropping dead makes me want to crawl under my bed.

I wouldn't vote for him again I only voted for him the 1st time as he was the lesser of 2 evils. All the Bible thumpers here say he's the Antichrist

Foreigners have little credibility in their analysis of our leaders.

Many foreigners want the US to be weak, so I don't put alot of stock in what they say.

I think there is only so much the president can do. Americans have gotten fat and lazy. We consume more than any other country on the planet on a per capita basis. We have more luxuries than at any other time in history. It all comes at a cost though. We now have an economy based consumption and services. What is required is a basic shift in behavior and I don't think Americans will do it.

Watch as the rich poor gap increases and we become more and more like a third world country. Work hard and maybe you can become one the rich ;) :2 cents:

stop invading other countries and foreigners might worry less about your leaders

I think McCain would've focussed harder on what's ailing the country rather than pushing through a party agenda like Obama has. Because McCain is older only means he's more experienced in life. I saw him speak on television a few nights ago and he looked fine. I thought McCain made an error by pandering to the H. Clinton voters with Palin.

Palin... That would be scary to a degree. Could she do a better job than Obama,in some respects I think so. She doesn't come from the Harvard elitist society.On the other hand,she has yet to make an impression on me. I think there are many other more capable females that could be president.

That might happen when foreign countries quit asking the US for assistance.

:2 cents:

:1orglaugh :( QFT.

I've never heard Obama say more spending was the answer to recovery. I have heard him say we need to reduce the deficit, cut the budget more, reduce war spending and many other things related to reducing spending. He has straight up said we need to spend less.

i actually i started to worry less who's president cause the example Obama shows that it doesn't matter at all who is in charge. America is in the hands of banks, insurance companies and other corporations. and lobbyists. theoretically you could also have a chimpanzee run for presidency - which brings us back to Palin

Yes......

We already have a monkey in office buddy. :thumbsup

And as we have come to find out from Mr Oblahblah what he says and what does is two different things. :pimp

There is the issue..he says,but doesn't do.

I used to agree with this before Bush got us into two fucking wars at the same time.

Actually, he has reduced the budget in some areas and moved the money to be better spent. He has put a plan in place to end the war, and stated this has to be done to get control of the deficit. He wants to reduce a tax credit that causes more deficit every day it's going. Currently before congress is bills to give small business a tax break, benefits for investing/hiring and other things - all things to help grow the eco so things can be paid off.

This is a very tiny list... I'm not sure what you guys read or how you get your news, but I would try listing to him and just following up with what he does, research it yourself.

Interesting results. Too bad we can't be sure that only the target voted.

How do you figure?

Stopped reading there. You obviously have no clue.

He's correct though... it makes no difference what you think, he's talking about what the rest of the world thinks and without question, they like Obama more than Bush.

For good reason, he's like 10,000 times better, hasn't created the worst economic drop in history, didn't take more wealth away from Americans than in history and didn't start a war based completely on lies.

Obama could quit or sell us to Canada and shit wouldn't get as bad as it did under Bush.

He has my vote.

If I were interested in SPIN I would watch MSNBC. Don't assume you are the only person here who is informed. Or are you simply enlightened.

I am not going to bother posting the sad fiscal facts of this administration. It's been posted here many times.
I also won't bother posting the democratic driven agenda this administration is shoving down America's collective throats.
I could post several current articles where many of those democrats who voted these bills through are now working overtime distancing themselves from Pelosi and Obama.
But again,you are clearly enlightened. Look up those facts and keep your eye on Novemeber and we shall see how well this administration is doing in the eyes of the majority.

I seem to recall reading that Obama's popularity rating overseas has dropped significantly. That is beside the point though. I have to wonder, who votes for a President based on what other countries think about him.

Oh yeah, for the record, Bush was not an option, so that discussion was really out of left field.

I predict you will be reincarnated into a poor black baby in communist China. :1orglaugh

Spin is on FOX, I have no idea what's on MSNBC, I don't get it.

People taking sides for voting times doesn't mean much, people naturally divide.

I would love to discus fiscal facts, nothing more than I love showing how Obama corrected the budget and now you're seeing what the real cost of the wars and run away gov has been, before he was in power and then the steps he has already taken to remove problems and has made budget reductions, which is the first steps to taking the right path to spending less. Don't hate him for showing us the truth...

I'm not enlightened, I just know most of the arguments coming from the other side are so lame and pathetic that it takes me minutes to look up what actually happened and disprove most things. Obama isn't going to run it exactly how any of us want... but what he has actually done, has helped more than it has hurt.

I'm sure it has slipped, he has continued wars most of them never agreed with. But that slip is still greatly higher than Bush reached.

It's not about who votes based on this, it's about doing business with other Countries. Things go much smoother if everyone likes each other.

You quoted MaDalton "....it couldn't get any worse than Bush, so Obama is a relief." I didn't really think it was that out of left field.

Obamas statement about war as a reason for deficits is a fucking joke.

Holy fuck you are funny. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Obviously. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Are you fucking kidding me? He has ballooned the deficit to way more than Bush could ever dream!
http://blog.heritage.org/wp-content/...amabudget1.jpg

You are fucking brainwashed dude.

Actually his approval rating is exactly in Bush territory.

Oh come the fuck on you cant be that stupid to believe that shit? Its about MONEY, the Chinese will NEVER like us but they sure love doing business with us.


It may have gotten better for other countries but it HAS gotten worse for AMERICANS, of course you dont give a fuck about us.

Wow? Are we even trying tonight?

You just proved that he corrected the budget to show the true numbers, hello sky rocket.. it's not like you can show where Obama spent almost 2 trillion dollars in 09.

Yes, that's his approval index in America... we're talking about International compared to Bush. Either way, Bush hit the lowest of any President and the largest drop of any President.


Umm... in relation to what other Countries think about us, having a President that isn't a complete idiot helps us do more business. If that's more money or whatever - it's more business.


Yeah, it's worse than Americans losing, what was it.. trillions of dollars in investments? Wow, you have a way different perspective of gotten worse than most people.

What the stats show and can easily be seen is a drop that has stopped, level off and improved in many sectors. What you expected is for everything to turn around, when that wasn't the goal being worked on.

LOL wtf that doesnt show any fucking "correction" it shows the WH estimate. Regardless are you denying that the deficit jumped 400 billion to nearly 2 trillion all during Obamas leadership? :1orglaugh

A drop that has STOPPED? No its PAUSED due to GOVERNMENT SPENDING you idiot, and now its starting to fall again. Also yes the goal was to turn it around thats why the WH called it the "summer of recovery".

You are a flat out liar.

This is called SPIN..and it's not convincing.

The other side of the coin is. That during Obama's first full year in office the deficit increased dramatically. Budgets are created prior to the upcoming fiscal year. That's business 101. If you are suggesting that the GAO lied about the budget numbers then you should say that.

Whatever obama did wouldnt have been acceptable. If he didnt spend and the economy was more in a toilet you would blame him for that too. He is damned if he does damned if he doesnt. Thats why I wish he would do more because they are going to hate him anyway.
Also if you think msnbc is spin you are kidding yourself. Progressives are pissed off at this president and they talk about it alot on msnbc. Obama is not a liberal at all and I would guess he is not fond of them considering what robert gibbs has said.

what a dumb view. i very much doubt mdalton wants the US to be weak, nor do I. I love the US. I bet if the majority of foreigners agreed with you would have a much different opinion.

Interesting Poll ;-)

He hasnt done anything except make it worse by spending the stimulus money on government spending programs like cash for clunkers, the housing credit for first time buyers, government economic recovery projects(like highways, and signs) and passing a health bill that will plunge us into more government spending as years go forward.

There isnt a SINGLE thing Obama has done that has helped this country economically, after the highways are fixed those jobs are gone, the cash for clunkers program money went more to foreign car companies than American car companies, the housing credit for first time buyers has not put a dent in the housing bubble, his mortgage rescue program is a complete failure with over 80% of people applying for it dropping out, and his health care bill is nothing more than social security part two, and we know the fucking problems we have with that bloated piece of shit.

The American middle class is systematically being destroyed. Give me concrete proof about ONE single fucking thing this President has done that has helped the American economy.

Yeah obviously a bunch of drug addicted morally corrupt filthy pornographers voted yes.

I am sure that is a positive direction for the United States of America.

Obama leading you people. :1orglaugh
