I didn't listen to The Man last night (damn him), but I've heard clippets on the radio. It sounds like he was saying the only thing that stands between the common man and Armageddon is that sweet sweet government cash.

Why does Obama think it's a smart move to talk during the trading day?

Because he is surrounded by people telling him that he is the only savior this country has or needs, and that his followers are soothed to hear his voice. Frequently.

"Know what else Obama inherited from Bush? A AAA credit rating."

By the way, in the original poll in this thread I voted, "His Presidency will be a failure of Jimmy Carter Proportions." While not even Carter saw a downgrade of the country's credit rating, I'd say we are in Carter Territory, arguably.
Who else voted that with me? We get to feel really smug while waiting for our own riots.

I put mediocre, but he's definitely in Carter territory.

This needs one of those Facebook polls:
How well is Obama doing as President?
Carter territory
It's all Bush's fault
Most Americans want a special congressional committee tasked with drafting a long-term solution to the nation's mounting federal deficits to include tax hikes for the wealthy and businesses and deep cuts in domestic spending, according to a new national survey.
A CNN/ORC International Poll released Wednesday also indicates that the public doesn't want the super committee to propose major changes to Social Security and Medicare or increase taxes on middle class and lower-income Americans.
67% of people also wanted the rich to buy them a pony, and pay off their credit card bills.

Same here. It's like he's putting in effort to making stupid decisions.

It's time like this I'm pissed I didn't just skip high school and college, go straight to illegal income, and just not pay any taxes.

I don't know who "Felonius Munk" is, but he is a black guy laying into Obama hard, and on youtube.
Wasn't sure to put this here, or in the budget thread. I think it says more to Obama's popularity thanit having any chance to get Obama to "BALANCE THE FUCKING BUDGET."

Your approval rating is at an all time low (40%), and the majority of Americans believe this country is on the wrong path, do you:
A) Reach out to leaders of both parties and try to end all the partisan politics so real work can be done.
B) Reach out to private business and local community leaders and see what they believe needs to be done to create new jobs.
C) Actually talk to REAL voters and find out where you've gone wrong.
or D) Go on a campaign tour because you're worried about re-election.

Remember what happened to Joe the Plumber when he spoke his mind? Think any other citizen, ever, is going to do that again?

That's a good point.
Perhaps we'll get lucky and this time around someone will say something like "Yes sir, I'd love to ask a question, but perhaps one of your aides could tell me what to ask so I don't embarrass you, and thus, force the mainstream media to try and destroy my life?"
