    ^ Obama is not doing too gooood:

    In April, the CBS/NYT poll had Obama's favorability rating at 42%, not favorable 45%. He was at -3.
    This latest poll was taken between July 11-16 -- the heart of the Bain attacks -- and now has Obama's favorability at a stunning -12 --- 36% favorable, 48% not favorable.

    Well, the campaign has gone off the rails. Obama Ad Accuses Romney of 'Launching a False Attack' for Quoting Obama

    In the ad, Romney says that Obama revealed his thoughts on business when he said this, "If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen."

    And, in fact, according to official White House transcript that's precisely what Obama said on July 13, 2012 in Roanoke, Virginia.

    Politifact scores it "True":


    Over the last six months, President Barack Obama has golfed 10 times and held 106 fundraisers, but his jobs council has never met.

    Shock horror. If there are any sensible Republicans left out there, I would love to hear substantive criticism about Obama and his policies. I would love to hear economic evidence to suggest better ways of handling the economy and the Deficit, in particular.

    It would make a nice change from this muzzie, commie, golf, michelle, barack hussein, etc drivel. That is what people that have absolutely no point to make resort to.

    ^Don't hold your breath. They have nothing. The Republicans are not attempting to match ideas and offer viable alternatives. They are focused on outspending, and using their campaign war chests for extremely divisive, fear-mongering based on the baiting of the "other," and also in cutting as many voters from the rolls and disenfranchising as many voters as possible.

    You said he spends more time on the golf course than presidenting. Let's assume that it takes him 4 hours for a round, that would mean he's spent ~40 hours on the course in the last 6 months. Do you really believe he has spent less than 40 hours presidenting in the last 6 months?

    Is that substantive enough for you?

    Boon,

    Read the whole sentence. Read the whole paragraph. Read the whole speech.

    You're regurgitating a sound bite that is inaccurate but will be forgotten in 3 days.

    Remember that hub-ub about "firing people?"

    How long did that last? 2 days?

    More than that actually- it is just a regurgitation of the Birther and Muzzie nonsense, just seizing on the latest inane tack. Of course you do remember that booner was loudly stating Obama's muzzie affilations don't you, and then Obama's fake Birth Certificate presumably, in tandem with the rest of the RW noise machine? It's just that all over again, latest flavor. As predictable as it is mind numbing- you do have to wonder about the US education system.

    ^ Aiya, these obamanites just can't see the truth. And they are ruining the moral fabric of the country by promoting immoral & amoral beliefs, welfare, food stamps, etc. Gone are the days of getting a job, building a biz and being PROUD of what you do in life.

    Gone are the days of the Republicans having any discernible policy except obstructionism, jingoism and spurious allegations, apparently.

    Instead of policies that actually work for the people thay want to vote for a Republican, it will just have to do.

    It takes some PR work to trump it up, though.

    Heh...Troll indeed. You can't honestly sit there before your keyboard and believe that stuff, sabang. We suppose the horrendous economy, the quagmire in Afghanistan, unacceptable unemployment figures constitute 'spurious allegations'? "You can't build that" is taken out of context? Let's look at the facts:

    Unemployment rose in 27 states.

    Earnings Show Recession May Be "Fast Approaching"

    After spending 50 years and trillions of dollars on the War On Poverty, thanks to Barack Obama's failed policies, Poverty has won.

    Economic growth forecasts darkening.

    Heh, Obama and the media have spent weeks and $100 million ignoring the economic downturn to focus on Romney, his taxes, and Bain Capital. But the race is still a tie nationally, with Romney gaining in battleground states.

    Blaming Bush won't work any longer...

    Has everyone forgotton the disastrous Bush years already??? Iraq and Afghanistan were Bushes fok ups not Obamas. Bush left America bankrupt with his pointless warmongering, whoever had the misfortune to follow him was going to be in an impossible position but at least Obama has improved the rest of the worlds opinion of America. I think the main problem with Americans though is that they still haven't accepted that they are in decline and the good times they have enjoyed in the past won't be seen again. Doesn't really matter who wins the presedential election as won't alter the fact that the US is foked and the worst is still yet to come for the average Americans living standards.

    ^You're absolutely right in everything you stated, though I'm praying Obama will get back in again, bite the corporate hands that feeds his campaign, and take a sharp turn left. Think there is any chance?

    As much as it's been popular and trendy to join in with the blame Bush syndrome crowd, if one were to adhere to some semblance of objectivity he might observe how GWB took office in 2001 after the Clinton's eight years of gutting national security, the military and failing to take out OBL when he (Bill) had the chance.

    I haven't heard that brain-washed comment since obama did the Arab Spring round of speeches. How is that working out for Y'All? Egypt, Iran, Syria, etc. Best friends with Israel. And Europe really likes him, too, huh? Greece, perchance? And Russia is his best friend -- oh, dear, Putin just keeps laughing at him.
    Yep, real good global opinions.

    Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan not Obama or Clinton, both conflicts were ill thought out without an exit strategy and have been a total disaster serving no purpose. What is the total cost of these 2 pointless wars??? Now just think if all that money hadn't been wasted on warmongering how much better off the average American would be. OBL won, he ruined America both financially and has taken away a lot of your freedoms by being the excuse for the number of laws that have been passed.

    You obviously were unaware of the universal hatred for Bush then, find me some people from the countries you mention that had a higher opinion of America when Bush was potus than they do now Obama is in charge. Admittadly Obama was starting from a low base after Bush had made America universally loathed.

    The funniest thing is that America spent silly money building schools and hospitals in those places (that are now getting blown up) while their own are falling apart.
