What does this tell us?

Americans Now Split On Whether Obama Is A Better President Than Bush.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/that-...res-than-bush/

This tells us two things. The GOP tatic of party above country works for the party (in spite of the terrible harm it does the county)

and

The average American is a moron, unable or unwilling to think independently and consumed in their petty prejudices.

It depends what side of the aisle you're on.

So, because most Americans don't happen to agree with Obama's policies, they're morons?

Polls are BS. I hate polls. Even when they indicate what I want to see.

The entire world knows the average American is as you described. And then we turn around and vote for leaders who claim to be "just like us". "Vote for me, 'cuz I'm just a dumb hick from Delaware!".

Thank God everyone here is above average. And I'm even more above average than the rest of you.

I think that this tells us that Obama didn't have a silver bullet to fix a very messy situation. We like quick, easy solutions - even to complex problems.

No. Because they allow themselves to be lead and support policies that are against their own good. Same problem exists on the left as far as morons go, the difference is that they are not shoot themselves in the foot by voting dem as the GOP supporters who are middle class do.

Tell me Whell. What benefit is it for you to support a casino on wall street?

You know damn well that most middle class supporters of the GOP wants low taxes for the wealthy so that when they become wealthy through their hard work (the biggest joke of all) then can have every greedy penny to themselves.

Plus he wasted his time trying to make the GOP part of the solution. He should have rolled them and then he would not have looked soft and unsure. He also had to compromise more than he would have had to. Obie is a visionary and a statesmen, he is no legislator.

and even in NY we have a lunatic running for Governor. Beware America, if this can happen here, they can be elected in Texas, South Carolina, Louisiana and Alaska where the real dumb asses are in the majority.

we should be safe here in NY and Delaware, at least for now.
