    according to who? The people who didn't vote for him?...
    Well, of the high profile people -- that we know voted for him -- you can start with Warren Buffett, Jack Welch, Jim Cramer, and many in the financial sector that are absolutely flummoxed over his handling of the financial crisis.

    I'm thinking they're thinking he's a bigger dud than they imagined. I can't imagine Warren Buffett would have voted for him if he knew what an idiot he would turn out to be on the economy.

    But, again, you'll lose this retort when the his approval rating drops below the percentage of Americans that voted for him.

    The best part is the silly spin control coming from the white house.

    "Obama apologizes to special olympics president!"

    "Obama invites special olympians to white house!!"

    Reminds me when Mark Cuban worked at a Dairy Queen after one of his numerous gaffes.

    So they have given up on him during his first 2 months in office?

    I didn't say given up. I said they've found ot he's a bigger dud than they ever expected. They're very critical of his handling of the economic crisis.

    Every President will have critics and that is a good thing. I never had the expectations that Obama would be perfect like King George. I haven't agreed with everything he has done. But I have NO regrets on my vote.

    Wait until you start paying for his cap and trade scheme; or, when you start paying taxes on the medical benefits paid for by your employer; or, when you start paying exorbitant energy prices because of his silly energy initiatives; or when you start thinking about crossing the border into Mexico for health care because you're waiting 6 months for an MRI...

    That's where this President is headed...

    We'll be paying for years for your beloved King George's stupid actions during the Cheney presidency.

    What Obama said wasn't all that bad. It's not like he asked a man in a wheelchair to stand up.

    If Bush had said that, he's be getting skewered right now.
    ...and all the board conservatives would bemoan how our society is too politically correct and hypersensitive.

    Face it, Obama is turning out to be a bigger dud than anyone ever imagined.
    He's doing about as well as I thought he would given his inexperience and the nation's current predicament.

    Trouble is McCain wouldn't have done any better.

    PRINCETON, NJ -- President Barack Obama's job approval rating, at 61% in the latest three-day average of Gallup Poll Daily tracking, is slightly above where George W. Bush's and in particular Bill Clinton's were at this point in mid-March of the first years of their administrations.

    Oh noes!

    Alaska superintendents are already lobbying legislators to reverse Gov. Sarah Palin's decision to reject $172 million for Alaska schools.

    Their reactions to Palin's decision have ranged from dismay to panic, superintendents said Thursday.

    Much of the stimulus package money for education -- about $74 million -- was designated for poor schools and special-needs kids. It was to be spent over the next two academic years.

    That's lame. He seemed like a pretty decent guy when he was interviewed by Colbert.

    according to who? The people who didn't vote for him?...
    Now, look who's talking:

    “Well, you know, they’ve got some explaining to do and I think the president is going to have to clarify to the American public what took place between Treasury and Mr. Dodd. Obviously there was, appears to have been, some kind of agreement that they would protect the AIG from having to give those bonuses. I don’t know who said what and when. Chris Dodd said he wrote the language but that he was pressured practically by Treasury. Maybe the president is not up to speed on what is going on. But I think it is going to have to be clarified.”
    Yep. None other than Maxine Waters. This is rich. Mrs. Waters went out of her way to help get a bailout for the black-owned bank in Boston that once had her husband as a member of its board of directors.

    post and video here.

    I bet she voted for Obama. Not only that, I'm betting she, like Christ Matthews, was one that got a tingle up her leg...ewww.

    But, wait, that's not all...

    “The Wall Street bailout is starting to look like the most expensive tax-supported fiasco in history… The president cannot afford to lose the public’s confidence that his administration is a careful steward of the public’s money. The public was willing to go along with a large stimulus package. But it won’t go along with a second stimulus, and certainly not another TARP. And until the public feels confident that its money isn’t being thrown down a rat hole, it may balk at other ambitious undertakings such as healthcare or education or the environment.”
    They're starting to each one another...and, are now nipping at the heels of The One.

    Now this!

    The Washington Times reported that “Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh accused the nonprofit group of violating tax, campaign-finance and other laws by, among other things, sharing with the Barack Obama campaign a list of the Democrat’s maxed-out campaign donors so ACORN could use it to solicit them for a get-out-the-vote drive.”

    Conyers reacted and said: “I think that it (investigating ACORN) would be something that would be worth our time. We’ve never had one person representing ACORN before the committee. …I think in all fairness we ought to really examine it.”

    I think the piranhas smell blood in the water...

    I mean, c'mon! Conyers?!?
