A rather surprising finding from the newly released CNN poll. Question three on the national survey of 1,136 adults (which includes an oversample of African-Americans) asks, "Do you consider the first six months of the Obama administration to be a success or a failure?"

Thirty-seven percent (37%) said they believe the Obama administration is a "failure," while 51% consider it a "success" and 11% say it's still "too soon to tell."

An identical question was asked of the Bush administration in an August 2001 CNN/Gallup/USA Today survey.  At the time, 56% said the Bush administration was a "success" while only 32% considered it a "failure." (LINK)

Actually, I expect exactly that line to come from Team Obama - something to the effect of

"Bush's misleading the nation coupled with his actions and outright crimes, have the citizens of The United States & citizens of the world no longer willing to trust America and it's President to do what is right. It will take some time for Obama to repair the damage he inherited from his predecessor. "

I'd say "failure" is a rather high mark for the knee-grow commie.....and friends.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Don't give the Zero's camp any ideas they don't seem to need any help when bashing President Bush hell they did a good enough job while he was in office.

Hopefully this means people are waking up. We are stuck with him for 3 more years but maybe we can put a stop to the damage he is doing in 2010.

Hi,

If he gets re-elected toward the end of his term there will be an event where he declares martial law and demands that they throw out the two term limit because he is the messiah and he will be the only person to save our country.....much like Castro or Chavez.

I'm depressed enough just thinking about 3 more years of this crap Team Obama is handing out. Saw his press secretary on Meet the Press (?) this morning....what a slimy slug he is....I wanted to throw something at that smarmy smirk of his.... :censored: :censored: :censored:

The moonbats in this country better be praying every damn day to God, Allah, Gaia, Moonstruck, or the tooth fairy, that that doesn't happen. This will be the bloodiest country on the face of the planet.

I am considering buying property in Panama as an investment or as a place to live permanently if the crap hits the fan here.
