12. 80 percent? That's awful low for a Democratic President |
|
It should be in the 90's.

The only Democrat in recent history is Bill Clinton. So are you comparing Obama's numbers to Clinton's during the high point of the Lewinsky matter?

32. He should try to increase his favorability amongst repiglicans is all. |
|
Especially since he's plowed forward with so many policies they support.
He should come down here and remind everyone about our tax cuts on the rich, expansion of nukes and oil drilling and more endless wars.

11. Round of applause for cutting Pentagon spending....gee, wonder if he paid attention? |
|
He can check out the tapes afterward.
Americans have made it really plain what they want to see done and in the case of SS, Medicare/Medicaid.

14. If that were the case then no one would have applauded at the wealthy paying their fair share |
|
of taxes. They were applauding the idea that military and Pentagon spending should be cut. Period.
It's the exact same shit every American with any common sense has been screaming about since this whole austerity crap started.

26. Well that'd be fine if I had a personal problem with POTUS, I don't |
|
seems like a nice guy with a good heart and all but I do have problems with his policies.
I guess that's a crime these days.

15. Definition of a defense spending cut |
|
In 2011, we bought 5,000 of these missiles. In 2012, we were going to buy 6,000 of them, but because of my brilliant budget cutting, we're buying only 5,900 missiles. It's a cut, it is! And at $50 million a missile, buying 100 fewer of them is a savings of $5 billion! Savings, I tells ya!

18. Obama was not specific on what cuts. People were not specific about their applause except |
|
that many felt we spend too much on warmongering.
At least that is what I got out of it.

I did not mean that my definition of a defense budget cut is unique to the current president.

at MSNBC and CNN! They cut away from him! At a time like this, we WANT to hear our president make his case!!! Apparently, these two cable news channels don't think it's important! :mad:
edited to add - i emailed both of them about it.
