People still believe politicians. It would be nice to establish a way to hold politicians to their campaign promises & impeach them if they don't fulfill them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136700342439111514.post-54446408432277398712010-11-09T21:45:36.681-08:002010-11-09T21:45:36.681-08:00Comrades,

Obama's popularity dropped considerably - much more than Reagan's popularity. I don't think anyone expected Reagan to achieve what Obama's supporters thought he would do. And let's not even discuss the ridiculous Nobel Peace Prize.<br />2. Obama is a marxist - I tell you this as a man who was born, raised and educated in the USSR. It's not a joke, really. I suggest you start by reading his memoirs and then compare his views on the economy with what Marx wrote in das Kapital. You can try to figure out how much Obama's views on wealth creation differs from Marx's "theory of surplus value".<br /><br />P.S. Don't diss Fox News - the guys know what they are talking about.Hyphenated Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180757495695345376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136700342439111514.post-39930952529138622912010-11-09T21:22:37.632-08:002010-11-09T21:22:37.632-08:00sorry, but reality is not so exciting as you descr...sorry, but reality is not so exciting as you describe.<br />obama is still popular. certainly his ratings aren't as ridiculous as they were after 2008 election. over enthusiasm is common after presidential elections.<br />on nov2,2010, dems didn't vote nearly as much as repugs did. reagan suffered similarly in 1982 "midterms". <br />btw, plenty of people still think palin is a messiah.<br /><br />also, all of this foxnews obama as wild extreme marxist is bullshit and you know it. the joke became tired long ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136700342439111514.post-33990875413543525282010-11-03T15:48:11.349-07:002010-11-03T15:48:11.349-07:00I think was an overnight craze like the Macarena. ...I think was an overnight craze like the Macarena.

The man reveled in his role of savior of the nation, there can be no doubt of that. He sold himself as a racial, economic and political healer who would govern as a centrist pragmatist, when, in fact, he intended to govern as a radical Marxist-Leninist and had no intention of making sincere efforts at bipartisanship. For a politician, especially an undeniable narcissist, it was the role of a lifetime. Who wouldn't be tempted to create a cult of personality and utter gilded oratory that has crowds viewing one as a near-deity? It must feel intoxicating. Now, like Icarus, he has flown too close to the Sun and fallen to earth. The taste in his mouth is no doubt a bitter one. We will see if Obama continues his condescending attitude and chalks up the election results to a naive and fearful electorate, or if he is humble enough to recognize that the results represent a firm rejection of his failed policies and agenda. I do not think this man can change his stripes so late in the game, but we shall see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
