The fact that he is still so popular simply baffles me.

It no longer baffles me. Most americans are very ignorant of politics. They think it is just another version of the Miss America pagent. So why not Obama?

What can you expect from a population crying about gas prices and food prices all while they dial the 1-800 numbers and pay to vote for the next "American Idol" over and over? Hell, if the November elections could be done via phone texting at $.99 a vote (call), 1 per registered voter, most people would be glad to pay the $.99 just to vote for Obama.

If elected, they will get exactly what they want - an empty vessel that is inept in running the country. But sometimes you have to give people what they want so they know not to be so foolish in the future.

I found what Obama said funny. Just like I find most Bushisms hilarious. I love watching Great Moments in Presidential Speeches on Letterman just to see GWB's latest goofup.



We just had 2 terms of ineptness, do you think it will stop? Your giving the people too much credit. They will still be foolish.

It is a different kind. Bush campaigned on something. Something many people did not like. Obama is campaigning on nothing - and that is exactly what they are going to get.

You cant fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough to get elected.

Arguably, Bush is one of the best politicians. Sure he started a war, but our opponents are too afraid to fight us to our face. Plus, like Dr Guy said, Bush actually campaigned on something, and went through with it. People are then used to presidential candidates actually going through on their words, but odds are that none of the democrats will. McCain I only trust for his experience, not his politics, and he's a heck of a lot better than the democraps.

Are you insulting the American populice, me included?  Because it reads like it

 

The people will choose who they want weather you guys approve are not!  And I doubt very much Obama would be in the race if he didn't have something he believed in.  Doc, you might not believe that, but a lot of people do.

And yeah, I know I spelt whether wrong.

That would depend. Are you one of those people who dials for American Idol over and over while crying about food and gas prices? If so then too bad if you find my words offensive. I'm not here to cater to peoples feelings. I figured most here are adults and can handle criticism but it seems I was wrong. The truth hurts and that's the truth. The people in this country could not survive a catastrophe that would put the human race on the edge of extinction because they would expect a person like Obama to fix everything for them. That is so sad, chances are the only people capable of surviving such an ordeal would be the Indians found if Brazil.

What exactly does someone voting on American Idol have to do with someone complaining about the price of fuel and food????

Voting on American Idol is free. Not that I know from personal experience.

That is why he is so hated and reviled. People forget he actually kept his promises. A rarity in politics.

Power is something. At the root of Obama is the desire for power. And what he says will change on a daily basis to attain that goal.

I still maintain that Obama is campaigning on nothing. Just what the latest polls tell him will get him elected.

And I know a lot of people believe it - as I said, enough may believe it to elect him. But that does not change the fact that he has no core, except the pursuit of power.

ONe of the ironies of America today. We are so affluent that we can complain about prices while wasting money.
