   Obama's numbers particularly on the economy are just dissmal! He has been making every effort to blame congress and to be sure I agree they are responsible. That said, democrats (read
   liberals) have been in control of congress since 2006 and only lost their majority in the house in the ladt election so there is no doubt democrats and the president OWN this mess! The question is what will they do about it? Obama said the time to act is now, no more games, no more manufacturered crissis, so will he admit his policies have failed and reverse course and allow free market principles bring us prosperity? Or will he hold fast to his socialist ideology no matter how much destruction it brings upon this country? My guess is its the latter.
   So has Obama become irrelevant?  Will anyone even bother to listen to his much hyped speech? I know I won't! We've heard it all before... turns out the genius in chief is really an empty suit, a shill for unions and socialist ideology, a narcissist that can't admit when he is wrong and will blame others for his failures.

      I agree......He said yesterday that he will not give his entire plan this week but will unroll it over the fall which means he really doesnt have one......his purpose is to give a few things that congress will refuse so he can blame them......even though his numbers are bad....I see where he will be reelected and then his true ideals will unfold as he will not be campaigning anymore.....even if congress wont pass what he wants he can himself by executive order

         Here's his plan... a trillion dollars in stimulys for roads, bridges, and teachers. Investment in high speed rails more money to extend unemployment and blah, blah, blah!
         How does extending unemployment oayments create jobs? Ate the unemployed going to hire people to puck up their checks? This man is an idiot! His "plan" is. Transparent as a bay window, its money for unions and the sloths that believe America owes them a living, ots money for votes and the only plan for saving jobs is his plan to save his own job!

            Unfortunately, as I pointed out in a blog/article on here, he is being driven by a larger movement and people like Stephen Lerner who called for banks and the economy to fall.....lerner visited the white house 4 times and then 5 months after he called for Chase to be an enemy the DoJ files suit.......Obama is a pawn for a greater movement aimed at the destruction of capitalism and the nation as we know it....He is an idiot as you said and I believe but an idiot with power

      But he's still polling ahead of Perry and about even with Romney. It looks right now like the GOP nominee will be Perry. Do Republicans look at these polls? If so, it seems that they'd be backing Mitt instead of Rick.

         Which polls? What's the methodology used? I mean lets jyst take partisanship out of the equation and answer this simple question, is the country better off now than before the democrats were handed power? Clearly we are NOT. Even CA has 71% of people saying the country is headed in the wrong direction. This is the direction Obama and the dems have taken us. No sensible, logical, thinking person can justify 4 more years of this leadership.

   Regardless of what he does, his numbers will continue to be dismal. And when a new president enters the Oval Office, his/her approval ratings will be high for a short time, then plummet as his predecessor's. Why? Because we are a country divided by every special interest group, every fringe fanatic and every entitlement program. We are a country who elects representatives who are priviledged and entitled above any other American. They represent their own opinions more than the American people. There is no possibility of uniting this country until Americans themselves become more united.

      We need to unite around the simple principles that made us great, self reliance, and personal responsibility. We need to become less dependent on government and we need to limit the role government plays in our society. Government needs to be smaller and returned to the constraints of the constitution. When that happens Americans will be united.

   Another LadyLove meaningless thread.
   
   The time is coming for the American people to wake up and the sooner the better. Both republican and democrats(if not all) are corrupted.
   
   None of them are interested in what is best for the citizens, they are only interested in power, wealth and control. Anyone picking either side is part of the willful ignorance killing America.
   
   Btw- The Tea Party? They are no better than what is already in office either. They too are power, wealth and control hungry....and not interested in the people.

         Too many people are divided by taking sides of the politicians and this isn't a theory or a philosophy, so take your head out of the sand.
         
         Politicians purposely pit one citizen against another, while they and the corporations of America, carve it up.
         
         Choosing one side or another, over the best interests of citizens, is the problem. Thread like this are meaningless because it continues the divide.

            incapable of coming

               I'm sure you would see it that way. Nothing new from you.
               A bit frustrated? No. But, many are just followers and incapable of using leadership views. Most cannot see beyond themselves. Most are thinking about what is in THEIR best interests and beliefs, and not in the best interest of society.
               Thoughtful opinions are just that. However, it doesn't mean that they are well thought out.
               Well, many of your posts shows that you are just following along, so many are.
               To understand corporate interests is to know what the corporation's agenda is? And, no people who are thinking about themselves and their beliefs have no clue.
               It's not arrogance. It's history repeating itself, because the sheep do follow and think, similar to those in power and use their beliefs, to support what is in their own interests and not what is in the interest of society. It's more arrogant of them.

I don't think you have a clue! But you do reveal a bit about your thinking when you talk about people doing whats best for society.... you're a socialist, obviously. Only you and your fellow like thinking individuals KNOW whats best for "society" and individuals acting in their own interests are a threat to your "vision" of what the collective could be!

People vote for what they are told and then politicians do something completely different when actually elected. If that isn't proof that people are fooled, then I don't what is. People elect politicians based on what suits themselves and what politicians align with their beliefs. Which is wrong. It's wrong, because it's not considering others, even if they think it is. They are not acknowledging their own inability to understand the best interest of society, which is them being dishonest and dependent on politicians for it. More self-awareness would go a long way.

      Really? I wonder how expansive is your reading? Who do you blame? Does Obama's own words, actions, and "accomplishments" count for anything? Remember he said this about his health care bill:
      
      "This is an issue that affects the health and financial well-being of every single American and the stability of our entire economy"
      
      Obviously he thought passing this bill would be good for the economy and he got it done. Is that his fault? Can I "blame" him for that?
      
      He also said this declaring the beginning of the end of the recession after passing his stimulus and bailing out the auto companies:
      
      “We know the tough times aren’t over, but we also know that without the steps we have already taken, our troubled economy --and the pain it’s inflicting on North Carolina families --would be much worse.”
      
      Sounds to me like Obama is taking credit for what he did. So can we "blame" him for his confession?
      
      The fact is Obama "accomplished" much of his agenda because he believed that was necessary to save the economy and he took credit for it so he must also take responsibility for it when it doesn't work out as he expected or as it first appeared, right? I mean trying to blame his poor results on republicans or the tea party just isn't right!
