    Hold on a second, my hands are full of popcorn. Can you answer my question? Is O'donnell right or wrong? If he is wrong, prove it. You are once again avoiding my question while continually using your fake liberal/wacko excuse to hide your inabilities. Dude, its looking bad here for you. You still want to keep looking like a fool and a coward, or are you going to answer my question?

    It's OK. I understand. Right-wingers aren't exactly known for their firm grasp on reality. With all the bull(*)(*)(*)(*) their media feeds to them, it's no surprise.

    It's basic politics.

    When you promise people free things your approval rating goes up.

    When the rubber meets the road and the people recognize you can't provide what you claimed and certainly not as effective as you claimed, your approval rating drops.

    Don't worry, he just finished a fresh round of promises. Once the people recognize he's full of (*)(*)(*)(*), his approval rating will drop again.

    The problem is that democrats will support democrats regardless. At least conservatives think and consider the issues at hand and have absolutely no problem dissenting against other conservatives or republicans.

    Consensus is for sheep and that is one of the main social reasons why I dislike progressives because they're all collectivists and in consensus like sheep. Every progressive is nearly the same.

    When you have a free tax payer provided football industry for football players and their stadiums, guaranteed insurance on people's farms, why would Obama's ratings go down, when those free things are always provided; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb0UNRl-paQ?

    Yea right....

    Conservatives can hardly agree on anything - which progressives love to brag about. Isn't there already a thread about how conservatives can't agree on an immigration plan? of course if it was democrats Obama would tell congress what he wants and democrats in congress would EASILY obliged without debate (which already happened with numerous immigration legislation).

    The best part is that I'm a true classical liberal and progressives would agree with me on nothing and plenty are so far in left field they assume I'm a republican.

    Besides, progressives live to defend progressives and Obama - hell look at this thread as proof of that.

    Because, as democrats are learning, the population will never be happy with the old free things you gave them. They want more and more and more and more and more until there's nothing left to give.

    If you bothered to watch the video, you may want to include Republicans side by side with Democrats for free stuff as they are applied today, not in the old days.

    They certainly agree on free stuff, as the video clearly points out. If they didn't, they wouldn't accept the free stuff.

    First of all nothing is free, and yes there are certainly plenty of RINO's that love government - make no mistake about that.

    However comparing productive people receiving subsidies to welfare ghetto (*)(*)(*)(*) who vote progressive for the free lifestyle is insane.

    I didn't even bother watching the video, however some subsidies are FORCED on individuals weather they want those subsidies or not - grain farmers are a fantastic example of forced subsidies...

    I don't want a dime from this government... Progressives have done absolutely nothing but set up welfare programs, regulate and ban (*)(*)(*)(*)....

    Outside of regulations, welfare (entitlements) programs and bans, please tell me what legislation progressives have passes that includes none of the aforementioned?

    For every available job that exists in this country there are two people looking, where that job "DOES NOT EXIST". Since that is a mathematical fact, exactly what do you expect those ghetto folks looking for a free lifestyle to do?

    My other question is this, ever since Obama took office we topped out at 10% unemployment in October 09, and since then the unemployment rate has dropped by 5.6%. Were the 4.4% who have gotten jobs since then looking for a free ride before they were unemployed? And if the unemployment rate drops to 4%, I'm guessing that there are only 4% of the population left who are looking for a free ride?

    Watch the video and absorb some reality;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb0UNRl-paQ
    That's a new one on me. I haven't heard any grain farmers complaining about getting subsidies, and I haven't heard any folks complaining about grain farmers as if they were ghetto (*)(*)(*)(*) looking for a free ride. Because they are getting a free ride you know?

    One more time for those who do not understand how the system works. Mathematically in this country there are one job for every two people looking. That's a fact. Without welfare, those people die. That's reality! And why did this happen? It's called short on opportunity, "BY DESIGN". It is how our socio-economic conspiracy is set up. It is not set up for "ALL" to make it or succeed. Why? Because of power and control of the population.

    An infrastructure jobs bill by Obama in 2011 would have gone a long way to bringing this country back, while restoring our roads and bridges.

    Yeah right an illiterate black could get a job based on racial quotas, however progressives have created an environment in which it is just as lucrative to live off the taxpayers coin as it is to work in a full or part-time job.

    Those numbers are nothing more than a national average - furthermore the formula is extremely flawed to boot. However that still doesn't change the fact that states like Illinois, Michigan and others are are almost 2x the national unemployment average.

    Of course there is a correlation with states and cities that have a large black population and unemployment rate... How can a non-minority work if a minority refuses? remember racial quotas? long gone are the days where jobs were dished out on a first come first served basis - NO - because of progressives there needs to be a racial/sex balance. So there could be 100 white guys wanting a job but if that job called for a black guy those white dudes would be out of luck..... (we can discuss this more in another thread if you like).

    Of course you can't understand because you're progressive and everything free to you is good...... Plenty of grain farmers have no desire having the federal government just taking their grain (or land) via subsidy. Many are being limited and in a lot of cases their land is being freezed. I'm sure some are content but some aren't but they're forced into this "grain communism."

    Apparently you don't understand math because using your math we would have a 50% unemployment rate.

    Truth is that welfare pays more than part time jobs in some states and is indefinite...

    Maybe you should address as to WHY people are on welfare rather than assert that they are while making numbers up in your head.

    People are unemployed because taxes, regulations, racial and sex quotas and a bad economy.

    Your dear wonderful progressive government has made doing business in the private sector as difficult as possible. Why? because progressive HATE capitalism and the private sector and they want government to own the economy.... It doesn't get much simpler than that.

    Maybe if the federal and state governments were humble businesses would do business because it would make them more money. Sorry to tell you businesses are in business to make money - not provide you with a job and cheap products.

    If businesses aren't making money they will lay people off and shrink their business..... The only way we're going to grow our GDP and increase employment is to let businesses make money.



    All government spending is a) a waste of money and b) decreases the value of the dollar. Why? because you have to tax someone to spend money - which in short would be like me paying you 10 cents on the dollar to spend my money for me - which in turn you pay 1 cent of to the government so they can spend your money...... See how that taxation just destroys wealth and all economic progress? it's like our government is a black hole that makes capital gains disappear.

    The price of gas is under $2 in most places. His approval rating is not that high IMO considering the price has been cut nearly in half. If it goes back up his approval will drop back down accordingly.

    Um, no. Read what the other poster wrote again, carefully.

    Hint: People who already have jobs aren't counted in the "looking" department.

    This thread was posted a little too prematurely to make any predictions. Obama is back down to -14% on Rasmussen's job approval where it belongs.

    http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...ministration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

    I submit that the reason he got the bump was his pandering and somewhat mindless State of the Union Address appealed to Jonathan Gruber's favorite voters, but probably more important the President took two months off from trying to fundamentally transform America. Obama is easier to stomach when he isn't deliberately trying to wreck America and everything it stands for.

    Ten points are from lower pump prices, completely IN SPITE of all Obama efforts to destroy the oil production industry. Americans are fools in the main and this is more proof.

    Another 15 points are attributable to the endless agitprop of the Richard Suck media shilling for this lying POS.

    He'd be at 25% or less if he wasn't black and Dem.

    You know why. They vote Democrat, and these "elite" wannabe liberal Democrats don't have to live next to Mexicans, thanks to the prohibitively high housing values in their white (possibly gated) suburb.

    That's fine; I never intended to pick cantaloupes in Yuma or change sheets at a Motel 6 anyway. Remember George Bush telling us that illegals will do jobs Americans won't? Those are the same jobs you are now saying Democrats are fighting to give away.

    That is all well and good for good economic times, but under the Obama stewardship of the economy, the choices for a lot of people are those jobs or no jobs.
