That article starts with such horse****, I can't take its subsequent
conclusions seriously. Start with:

"Polling data show that Mr. Obama's approval rating is dropping and is
below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001.
Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama's net presidential
approval rating -- which is calculated by subtracting the number who
strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve -- is just
six, his lowest rating to date."

Firstly, what period of Bush's presidency in 2001 is analogous to the
present administration? W started with a shrinking, but
unquestionably healthy economy and a substantial budget surplus.
America was safe, we weren't bogged down in two wars, and times were
pretty good in W's first few weeks. *He* ****ed it up; it wasn't
given to him that way. That comparison alone is utter bull****.

Secondly, the "net approval rating" comparison is bogus. Even being
the incompetent he was, W did not have an army of rabid corporate
media mouthpieces spewing outright lies, hatred, and violence against
him 24/7. From what I've seen here as well as in the media, the
possibility that BHO has high "negatives" at present is not the least
bit surprising; and IMO more than a little disgusting. Obama could
give everyone a million dollars and a basket of kittens, and he'd
still have high negatives thanks to the likes of Hannity, Limbaugh,
O'Reilly, Coulter, Malkin, and their irrational wingnut ilk. To
suggest an objective comparison based on a "net approval rating" there
is just more horse****.

If the remainder of this "analysis" from the WSJ is based on that
false premise, it's not worth the electrons; and frankly, it's
contributing to the problem.

Um, the period from Inauguration Day until, oh, say, mid-March...

pretty good in W's first few weeks. *He* ****ed it up; it wasn't

oh, say, birth until yesterday...?

If you actually look objecti...well, so that's out, but if you simply look at
the historical numbers, you'll see that just about all "modern" US Presidents
start out somewhere north of 50 and south of about 60 and stay at about there,
_averaged_ with some up/down spiking, for at least a few months. Hell, if
he...oops, He...wasn't somewhere about 55%, something would be _really_ wrong.

MSNBC is so far out of touch with anything remotely resembling reality
that the "channel" belongs in the finction listings next to the SciFi
channel and the Twilight Zone channel.

Maybe you find the "disciplined intellect" (more like "lack of") of
Keith Doberman a little closer to your view. He's off the cliff sorta
like you are. But he doesn't seem to carry all the racist guilt you do.

Don't be so hard on Fortenberry. NPR, PBS, CNN, talking heads on
Sunday morning, Maddow, The Daily Worker, Mao's Little Red Book are
*ALL* legitimate left wing wacko sources, which is exactly where
Fortenberry is. But you are correct about his racist guilt. Ken is
the most guilt ridden white man I have ever known. His mental anguish
over being born a free white man is killing him. He should have been
born a black female Rastafarian living in Cuba, but even then he'd
find something to whine about. At least he'd have his dope to smoke.

You poor condescending racist. Too much guilt. Too out of touch with

Too much smoke. Way too much smoke. You should really get help.
Really. Serious help.

Are you referencing the "economic mess" that started in March 2000 and
was set up in the mid-90s? Is THAT the economic mess you're talking
about?

And don't start whining about surplus. That was all only on paper and
based upon the economy growing at the tech-bubble rate, not the reality
of the post-March, 2000 crash.

Ah, now I get it.

You want to contend that the economy was set down the irreversible
path to ruination by Bill Clinton. A path so ruinous and irreversible
that eight years of a GOP administration could not hope to even mitigate
it's disastrous consequences. God only knows the GOP tried but alas, the
Clinton economic mess was so total, complete and ingrained that the
current disaster was inevitable.

Mr. Jelly, they have drugs that can help you. Next time the orderly
checks in on you tell him that a fellow on the Internet recommends that
you take antipsychotics and would he please pass the word to your
attending psychiatrist. Trust me on this, a few weeks on Haldol and they
may even let you out of the straitjacket and let you wander around the

Um...he didn't mention Clinton, you did...IAC, no, it's not Clinton's fault,
it's not Bush's fault, and no, Obama can't fix it, but that's not his fault. But
what is happening today does stem from about the mid-80s through the mid-to-late
90s, with much of it in the latter. If one MUST have a single person to blame,
it'd probably be Greenspan, but even then, he didn't cause it alone, he is just

Well, I have no personal experience with antipsychotics but at this
point you're so far gone what have you got to lose ? Hell, who knows
they may even let you out of the asylum one of these days.

It must be really tough on you old rubes who bought into Reaganomics
hook, line and sinker. Poor thing you never did get trickled on, did
you ? Your whole world view, everything you'd been told, everything
you believed in, gone in a matter of months. I feel sorry for you in
a way and I totally understand how sick you are that the get the
government out of the way, limited regulation, free wheeling, free
market capitalism uber alles of Ronny Raygun and his GOP collapsed under
the weight of its own corruption. But still, it's not healthy to live
in a fantasy world. One of these days you're going to have to face
reality. Try the drugs, they may help and they sure as hell couldn't

about?


Oh, so we're falling back on the tired "It's all Clinton's fault"
canard? *Puhleese.


Um...he didn't mention Clinton, you did...


Perhaps I misunderstood his implication. Who was president in the
mid-90s again?

Yeah, right, and Nixon was singularly responsible for man landing on the moon,
too...if you're serious, bluntly, you aren't very intelligent or well-informed.

Dammit Joe, please do try to keep up! The Donald, as in Trump, was POTUS in
the mid-90s. Or were you just too stoned out of your freakin' mind to
remember?

Well, since the Peaceful Bill confirmed below my understanding of his
intent, "there it is" indeed.
The rest of your intellectual dishonesty and ad hominem bull****
further confirms my opinion of you, so there that is as well. I'm
done.

Congress and the presidents from Carter on were all responsible for
setting up the current housing and economic crisis. Add a few
aggressive bankers and unscrupulous mortgage brokers and.... Well,
there you have it.

But to say that the current economic crisis is the fault of Bush is
seriously misguided and obviously ignorant of the facts.

Under the Carter admin. Hands down THE WORST president in this country's
history.


let's just push the blame off onto Washington, or at the very least one of
the Adams', and bring this thread to it's logical conclusion........

You were "done" before you booted your computer. Put bluntly, while there are a
fair number of "left"/"liberal" folks around here who have made informed,
intelligent choices, you aren't one of them. In short, you are to
"left"/"liberal" what "beancounter" is to "right"/"conservative" - a silly,
uninformed nitwit with a conformation bias...

....and you've used "ad hominem" when "ad feminam" would be much more
appropriate, given your usage...

Knowing it won't help one lil' ol' bit,
