People are regretting every day they voted for him.

Maybe he will buy Gallup with the government money and cheat on the numbers.

Oh by the way, GW's numbers only went down AFTER liberals controlled congress.

How about that liberal controlled congress? Wow, 11% approval rating!
Going great!!
Yes I'm still trying to figure out how so many people could have been decieved by this clown!

Gosh and golly, I recall just not too long ago you liberals salavating over the drop in poll numbers supporting Bush. I did see a poetic bumper sticker yesterday that made me laugh .....Impeach Obama. You reap what you sow.

The Government CAN NOT do anything to prevent the Economy from weakening. Government actions can only make things worse. If Government action could prevent the Economic downturn, why is the Economy spiraling downward despite the Government having committed Trillions of Dollars over the past 18 months?

All the Government can do is print money, which will inflate away the value of the currency.

OK, gotcha. You want our Government to sit back, watch and wait. Look where that got us. I prefer being pro-active rather than reactive.

We don't have a passive Government. We haven't had a passive Government for decades.

How can the Government be $ 12 Trillion in debt and be running deficits of hundreds of Billions (and now Trillions) if it sits back and does nothing? If the Government were passive, how would it be in control of the Auto industry, much of the Banking industry, AIG, almost 50% of Healthcare and other areas where it is not constitutionally authorized to act?

Bush created DHS, passed Medicare part D and added $ 3 Trillion to the public debt over 8 years. He also passed FISA, NCLB and many other measures that were not necessary. Bush was not a conservative or passive President. Obama is a more active President, which is a BAD thing! Had the Fed not lowered interest rates and the Government not pushed bad loans through CRA, Fannie and Freddie, this credit crisis would NOT have happened. Why do the areas with a major Government presence (Healthcare, Education, etc) see large price increases year over year, while areas with little Government involvement (Tech, Electronics, Apparel, etc) often see decreasing prices? Central Government planning has failed everywhere it has been tried and will fail in this country as well. Hopefully, you'll wake up before it's too late!
