Jon Stewart to Austan Goolsbee, last night on The Daily Show:

"You hang around with Obama now. You hang around with this guy. As he watches the debate, as he watches the conversation of this country, does he sigh a lot? Most presidents, you always look at it and you say like 'Oh, they've lost the trust of the American people. The American people are disappointed.' This seems like one of the first presidents that actually... uhh... uhh... our approval ratings in his eyes could go down very far."

That pretty well sums up how I've felt for several months. It's absolutely amazing how much patience the president has.

1. I thought the same thing, In the town hall meeting

when he talked about there is no death panels he looked like he had a hard time not laughing.

2. "A Bama God Decides Life and Death ..."

Hey lady, what's a bama god? :rofl:

What is it with these people? Learn some spelling and punctuation, folks - they're not that difficult! :eyes:

[Towlie]

3. Actually, I got that from another thread here.

I included it because it so vividly illustrated my point. Thanks to "Are_grits_groceries".

4. What's even more difficult for them than the spelling

and puncuation is to break free from the daily brainwashing sessions by their guru cult leaders, beck, hannity, limpbaugh, savage, and all the other hateradioheads who preach lies to bring down Democracy and up with facism.

5. Now you know why these nitwits can never, not even in a million years, understand that

they are being taken for a ride by the powers holding sway over our collective fates today...

and that our only hope is through government intervention ..

[Cha]

7. Oh yeah, I've understood it for

about 8 years now..and, it's coming to a head like a big boil on limpbaugh's ass.. that needs to be lanced.

[WCGreen]

14. Don't forget their preachers...

[gmoney]

6. Not God, but "God"

...if that IS your real name.

[Cha]

8. Yeah, it could be

"Allah".:)

[BattyDem]

9. I can't figure out why she put quotes around it

:shrug:

They're punctuation is either non-existent or incorrect, LOL!

[yodermon]

18. it's a mistake I've commonly seen among uneducated southerners

they use quotation marks for emphasis. Combine that with a complete lack of any sense of irony whatsoever it's facepalm central.

10. I think it's "Abama".... somebody can't spell for shit.

She probably voted for MackKane....

[BattyDem]

11. I know ... I was just making fun of it, LOL!

You'd think all those red, white & blue "O" logos would have given her a clue about the spelling! :P

[krispos42]

12. I just don't see what they have against that nice Brock O'Bama person

We've had lots of Irish presidents!

[BattyDem]

15. LOL!

:rofl:

[road2000]

13. Bear Bryant. n/t

[TwilightGardener]

16. Yes--you have to wonder how President Obama feels about the

people he serves. Because many of them are just nucking futz, ignorant, or haters. Must be hard to want to help them when they're so determined to go back to being routinely fucked over by Republicans and the insurance industry.

17. Dumb shit white trash. nt.
