Amazing how hate and stupidity continues to incite the ignorant into fear and loathing of something that is NOT a threat. A pit bull puppy is warm, fuzzy and playful, but if you beat it every day, make your kids kick it every day until it grows up, YOU have taken a potential friend, turned it into a threat and made it real. Don’t blame the dog.
True that Obama enjoys a higher rating in many countries outside the United States. Possibly outside the U.S. he is judged more on merit and performance than on partisan politics. Outside there is not the non-stop Obama bashing you get on some American “news” media. Example is one Fox radio station I know has 12 hours 5 days per week non-stop Obama bashing consisting of lies, distortions, exagerations, innuendo, and stuff out of context, The weak-minded and easily-influenced probably believe some of the crap.
C’mon Canbag. The president’s ratings are in the toilet because of Fox News Channel?? Get serious! During any particular day less than 1% of Americans watch Fox News.
Limbaugh boasts 13.5 million listeners or exposure to roughly 4.5% of Americans and he’s only one of dozens of Conservative talk-radio hosts. I’d speculate talk radio/T.V. has some negative effect. And what do ratings mean unless compared to another individual? He rates higher than any of the possible Republican candidates. Probably because he actually does or tries to do something intelligent.
I have not had a chance to hear or see any of the conservative radio and/or TV shows, so, I am sorry, but I don’t yet have an opinion on the subject … .
Boohoo, Obama’s ratings are down here and up outside. Frankly folks, it doesn’t matter how the outside world feels about Obama because in the grand scheme of things they are not We the People - it’s the U.S. that will deal with him, one way or another, come next election.
As far as comparing Iran to a poor little dog kicked into being a bad dog. That is the biggest stretch I’ve seen since silly putty. Obama has done nothing but pat them on the head since he came to office and they have only grown bolder. Oh, WAIT. I FORGOT. You can BLAME BUSH!!!!!

Stebon, Madman, Howgozit, and Bavolet - you think Sarah Palin would make a good president don’t you?
petergrt about 14 years ago
” … you think Sarah Palin would make a good president …”?
I am not sure that she is of ‘presidential’ material, but, if I had to choose between her and 0bama, I’ll take her in a heartbeat!!!
I’ll take American fundamentalism and exceptionalism over appeasement and Marxism, or any other ism in a flash!!!
