[XemaSab]

:shrug:

[Liberal_in_LA]

1. approve

[Hell Hath No Fury]

2. At this point, overall --

I disapprove.

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

3. Just because the task

involves a shovel and a heap of shit doesn't mean that a fella can't do a good job.

[quinnox]

4. Strongly disapprove

Obama needs to make some radical changes in his advisers and drop bipartisan bullshit, the republicans declared war on him a long time ago, time to reciprocate.

[Fuzz]

5. What sucks is, I don't approve of so much of it, but the criticism from the right is so over the top

I am forced to defend him.

[XemaSab]

7. I think a lot of us are in that boat

:(

[CreekDog]

13. that's where I was

but now I have to defend myself and not him.

what can i say?

[XemaSab]

31. .

:(

[denbot]

6. Approve.

Far better then gramps and failn.

[mix]

8. No, he's weak and visionless. nt

[emilyg]

23. Yes but he talks pretty.

[mix]

24. I don't like political speeches, in fact

I have never heard him speak besides sound bites.

[lob1]

9. Just now on the Ed Show they were talking about how

Obama wants to have a truce with the Chamber of Commerce. With the Chamber of Commerce!! Unbelievable. And what truce? To have a truce you have to have two people fighting. Obama hasn't thrown a punch yet.

[inna]

11. what's unbelievable is that most people buy that crap, about Obama and the Chamber being "at war".

i'll try to post a very relevant link from my home computer tonight.


I must say though, Obama becoming even more corporate-friendly, does *not* bode well.

Think even more corporate welfare, free trade and anti-working class policies.

[JuniperLea]

16. He made BP pay up...

And agree to drop their stupid cap. I hardly call that corporate friendly.

[Angry Dragon]

28. Yes he did those things

Feinberg is getting $850,000 per month to settle the claims
and the claim process just got changed again.
To get any money the people have to agree not to sue bp.
They are still spraying corexit.
Still oil washing ashore
In a thread on DU this evening there was a story
about a ship full of shrimp that was full of oil
caught in a safe fishing area.
Still tons of oil in the water below the surface.
Still oil under the beach sand.
Would you have handled the Ecocide in the same manner??

[XemaSab]

29. Obama got out the ruler and gave them a slap on the wrist

I would have given them a Singapore-style caning. :o

[JuniperLea]

14. Why would we want him to lower himself to the level of these horrid people?

Do you really not see the benefit of a president who holds himself above that sort of thing?

[Raine]

10. Disapprove ... Obama only cares about big money corporations.nt

[DFab420]

12. Approve

Obama refuses to given to base emotions like anger and hatred. Even after all the shit that they keep piling on him he shoulders it like MFing Atlas.

Whether people want to admit it or not, having a POTUS that tries to govern on both sides is the only thing keep the top on this pot. The moment Obama slips, and starts talking like he wants a fight. The fight we get is not going to be only played out on TV. Everyone points to how partisan Bushy boy was. However, we didn't threaten to get our guns did we? They have and are willing to.

He is holding this country together, as much as we seem to hate him for it.

[WillyT]

15. Overall... Disapprove

He brought a knife to a gunfight... and as a Chicagoan, he should have known better.

:shrug:

[EFerrari]

17. I was just thinking, if any poll on this presidency doesn't come with

a break down of issues, it's not useful. At that point, a poll is just adding to the static.

:shrug:

[dennis4868]

18. Strongly approve...

It's incrdible that he has passed such important legislation while at the same time have to deal with a SAY NO party that constantly fillubusters, DINOs, and a media waiting to destroy the man....no one could have fine better than Obama....many here disapprove of him but anyone else who have had to deal with the same shit as Obama.....no president in the last 70 years entered the WH facing a depression, 2 unpopular wars, and a messed up political environment like Obama has had to face....there are no quick fixes and Obsma told us that in 2008.

[Ruby the Liberal]

19. I am very disappointed.

[DutchLiberal]

20. Disapprove, because he's continuing all the Bush policies...

[Imagevision]

21. I don't like the idea of Obama giving BP a pass

[sally cat]

22. $20 billion is a pass?

[Shining Jack]

25. I always vote blue.

:evilgrin:

[L0oniX]

26. Do I have the right to feel betrayed?

[Shining Jack]

27. No but

you now have the right to be groped at the Airport.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. Approve.

That's not to say I agree with everything he's done or that he hasn't fallen short in some areas, but I take a balanced view of him within the context of his obstacles and the limitations of his office.

Unlike many people here, I do give him credit for many positive things instead of focusing on the negative, He's also affected me directly with legislation he's signed.

I also like his temperament and intelligence, particularly in contrast to the dumbass we had before him.

[Jamastiene]

32. In reality, it is a mixture.

I approve of some things and disapprove of others.

[Subdivisions]

33. 2 to 1 Disapprove. n/t

[TheWatcher]

34. Interesting that there is Google Ad blocking the links to Vote in the Poll.

Maybe The Truth Hurts.

[eridani]

35. Where's the "mixed feelings" choice? n/t
