“disappointed?

no i don't think so

for you to be disappointed, you would have to have at some point had some hope for him to do well. we know the truth is that you have been praying for his failure from the beginning.

it bothers you that he hasn't failed yet. you nit pick, try to create resentment and blame him for what you are actually doing, but he hasn't failed yet. if you aren't hiding by then, please come back and talk to us in Dec of 2012 as obama begins his second term”

“Didn't read it, did you?”

“MSNBC is a premium cable package and the Cable News Networks have the lowest ratings in the TV ratings "battle" both for broadcast & cable networks.

In the morning and evening news shows, the regular broadcast shows beat and cable network hands down.

NBC Today Show has 5.5 million and its' Nightly News pulls in between 8.5 and 8.8 million
ABC Good Morning America 4.0 million and its' World News pulls in an average of 7.7 million
CBS Early Show 2.8 million and its' Evening News averages 5.8 million

Compare those figures to the top Cable News Program, which is FNC.

Fox & Friends in the morning averages just over 1 million

Bill O'Reilly is #1 with an average of 3.42 million
Sean Hannity averages 2.44 million at the moment so nearly 1 million switch off when he comes on at the 9pm Prime Spot
Glenn Beck who was pushing O'Reilly a few months ago is down to an average of 2.8 million

As long as NBC tops the prime ratings I don't think they are losing sleep over MSNBC, which is a JV between them and Microsoft and it is also has a very strong web following.”

“I think they adjust for the number of markets each broadcaster is in.”

“one of the reasons- some others
ratings have nothing to do with authenticity -WWE beats ESPN in it's time slot
FOx news on my cable is channel 30- MSNBC is channel 187
during ORiely's show liberal audience is split between Kieth Olbermann and the Daily show”

“He just wanted HIS Country back but he'll settle for his Wal-Mart.”

“Yes, because as we know, party politics has to do with everything that takes place in our society.”

“How is he a failure, It took Republicans many years to destroy this country, how do you expect him to fix all that mess left for him within six month of his Presidency. He was tyring to make life a better place for us by Reforming the health care, the same Public health care that all the senators and congressmen and women are enjoying but will not want me and you to have because of their selfishness. We wouldn't have been in this mess if we did not go to ungodly war, give blank check to Pakistan and all the stupidity of the Bush era.. I wonder why you guys think Democrats are big spender, NO IT IS THE REPUBLICANS war! war! war! they borrow money and throw away our future and you have the guts to blame it on a President who has not spent 1 year in office.. Please give me a break”

“If you go to college for 4 years should your accomplishments be limited to your first semester ? After that you are written off.

Change in Washington is like moving a ship. It's slow.”

“agreed”

“No, I expect you'd be surprised that many are from the Heartland and most actually tend to be from rural or suburban areas of the districts where the Town Halls were held.

I love HuffPo, but so many of my fellow readers seem to jump at the chance to label Southerners as somehow "more violent" or "more stupid" than the rest of the nation.

I've been all across this beautiful country, and let me tell you:

"The Stupid is Pervasive EVERYWHERE­."

It's not unique to the South, and those of us with brains IN the South don't necessarily appreciate being labeled as somehow less capable of rational and logical thought. Rednecks are in all 50 States, so please, if you don't mind, drop the stereotypes. 'Kay?”

“Not necessarily. I was extremely disappointed in Chuck Grassley. He was always one of the good guys on the right side of the aisle. I've talked with him on different issues and he is a reasonable and intelligent gentleman, or he was.”

“As a southerner, and someone who grew up republican, I'd have to say..


you're probably right... sigh. I'm just no longer surprised.”

“Co-Sign.

The fight was over as far as I am concerned when White House statements and emails to supporters (which I am - was) changed from "Health Care Reform" to their new wording of "Health Insurance Reform".

He has given up.

Sold out to the Pharmaceutical Companies.

Insurance "Reform" will mean no Public Option, no controls on the Insurance Companies and they will likely be given more access to the public feeding trough.

The Plutocratic Corporatist Wolves Win Again while wearing the sheepskins of AstroTurf "popular movements" opposing reform. I suppose they only bother with that to assuage those who mistakenly still believe we live in a Representative Democracy as opposed to the Corporatist Legislation by Lobbyists form of government we "enjoy".”

“jump off the cliff then”

“Oh, I bet you were one of those flag wavers that was screaming "Yes, let's kill those Iraqis! No good dirty camel jockeys!"

Keep up, Skippy.”

“There are people who care about the issues and there are people who care about polls. You get to choose.”

“I think his approval ratings are falling because the economy hasn't significantly improved for many people, he has continued many of former President Bush's policies regarding civil rights, he didn't fight hard for the bills in Congress which could have really helped the people such as during credit card reform (no limit on usury, 9 month waiting period to take effect, etc) or the bankruptcy bill (cramdown - the heart of the bill removed), he continued a major bank bailout with many of those same banks making huge profits within months - yet they aren't providing enough relief to taxpayers, and I could go on. Unless a major health reform bill which keeps the Kucinich amendment for state Single payer insurance is approved, people will not FEEL any real health care reform. This is life and death to many people and will be the one remembered the most.”

“Oh no. "Slipped." To under 60.

Oh no.

The President must do his job and Congress' job, as well. He must violate the Constitution or he won't get a 2nd term. Oh no. Oh no.

The President has not solved all problems in 6 months and won't get 3.5 years in which to do other things. Oh no.

Hey! You want it fast? Go to McDonalds and when you have to wait to be served, whine.”

“Weak sauce”

“Probably never met a black man you could trust either. That's how bigotry, racism, and hatred work.”

“You forgot today's talking point word of the day is "flip", try to use it in your posts if you want to collect your shiny new quarter.”

“That's an insult to Bush.

Obama makes Bush look better, more so every day.

America's been had.”

“Actually, GW was Bush 2 but I sense you're not old enough to remember the first one.”

“Yeah his energy policy is the same as Cheeney's. *eyeroll*

Grow up.”

“Feingold, the only Senator to speak out against the Patriot Act. I too would vote for him if he challenged Obama.”

“gfm975
You are dreaming right? How in eargh Feingold will run on 2012? Who cares what you think. Are you really stupid?”

“Yeah!
Six months into office, and Obama has broken EVERY campaign promise! He does not tell the truth!
Run for the hills!!!!
Palin/Cheney 2012!!!!!!”

“Wasn't weak when it came to kickin' repub bu.tt in the elections.”

“...
You just said the Dems are nearly (but not quite) as weak as the President.
You then said you don't know which one is "more weak" (should be weaker).
You answered your own question.

It's like me saying, "Bob is nearly as tall as Bill. I can't tell which is taller!"”

“The president does not call the shots in the Justice Dept. Thats why he appoints an attorney general..

I wish you people would learn how your government works.”

“Wow would you refer to Muslims as towelheads or do you limit your religious hatred.”

“As seen on TV!”
