As far as the name-calling, the exact same can be said of the Dems when they were the minority. And neither party has an exclusivity on the hypocrite label.

You can't seriously believe that. I hope to god he runs against Obama. Tell you what, if he wins the nomination and isn't beaten by the same margins as McCain was I'll send you $100 dollars. I just put it into my calendar. Good luck.

If Obama keeps it up, he won't be hard to beat in 2012.

LOL....funny...I'm not entirely convinced the GOP will be up to the task. You kinda have to have an attractive platform and ideas to get to people to vote for you. I know you guys loath Obama but don't let all the hate cloud your judgment, he's a f'ing jugernuat and jugernauts never lose the second time around. Like the Emperor said, "search your feelings, Lord GMScud. You will know it to be true. He could destroy [you]."

If I was a rich man I would send you a $100 too but I'm not. Good luck.

I don't loathe Obama. I think he's a smart guy and a brilliant orator. I dislike his politics. Hate is a strong word. I think he's trying to do too much too fast with way too big of a price tag. I also think he's directly contradicted several of his campaign promises, although every politician does.

He's a media darling who ran a fantastic campaign. That sure as hell doesn't make him a good president. He's slipping in the polls - a sign of buyers remorse by many IMO. I'm not cynical enough to cheer for our Commander and Cheif to fail - the exact opposite really. I just don't have much confidence in the man.

There's a good website out there, don't have it at my fingertips but actually tracks all of his campaign promises broken. He's holding his own I must say. He hasn't kept every single one, most he hasn't gotten to yet but I think it's like six he's broken so far. One of them they nailed him on not posting a bill on the internet as long as he said he would. They've done this a couple of times. But a promise is a promise. I can't think of any "big" promises or contradictions though. Not that I know every single one anyway.

As far as the polls he's still at a solid 58/59, depending on which one you like. Gallup has him at 60% right now. And he's right where Reagan was during this point in his presidency. But the polls don't tell the entire story. I constantly hear pundits and critics fixated on Obama's poll numbers pointing to slipperage as evidence of buyers remorse. I think there's some of that at play but also for the first time in a long time, people are paying attention to what their government is doing - and what they said they would do. So in part, I think people are truly engaged. Secondly, I can't remember any of his predecessors taking over during two wars and one of the worst economies in recent history, a bankrupt auto industry and a banking industry in crisis. So I think those numbers have to be put in proper perspective with those realities in mind and not as a partisan issue.

Good points. I agree that he entered office in the midst of a shit storm more severe than any his predecessors faced. I also realize that he was rock star popular at the time of his election (I think he can thank Bush's unpopularity for a lot of that), so he really had no where to go but down in the polls.

I don't get any joy out of this, but I think he's broken a few more than 6.

You Republicans crack me up! How the heck are you going to defeat him? With Taxes? With Healthcare? With family values? Okay, forget I said that.....................With religion? .............I didn't mean to say that. You know.............I don't even want to keep going. I'm laughing to hard right now and I'm at work.

Someone actually employs you? Remarkable

You actually think he can't be defeated in 2012? History means nothing to you does it?

Miller, let me guess. Volunteer at ACORN, administrative assistant in DNC HQ, or Huffington Post blogger from your parents' basement.

Republicans, Taxes, Health Care, family values/religion, without those buzzwords the rest of your post is pretty much periods and smileys, well reasoned and insightful post.

Sweet. Free money, no risk, so this is what it's like to be a Democrat.

I got my own personal Redskins Cheerleader so there's no need to purchase a Calender today or any time in the future.
