Obama's approval ratings here have fallen quite rapidly since elected. from over 65% he's no between 49-51 % approval depending what day of the week it is. Obama's most important critics have been moderates withing his own party. The White House and both leaders of congress have pushed a very far let agenda that seems to have been rejected by this country---see BHO's approval ratings and the recent Election of Rep senator Brown from Massachusetts.You try too hard ChaZZZy. The harder you try on the internet the harder you're going to fail. Multiple posts and silly attempts at baiting all in once post tells me you need to calm down. I never meant to hurt your feelings.
When Bush made his first blunders all the intellectuals stood back and gave him some time. Obama has not been in office that long. It is the republicans who are trying to persistantly frustrate his policy, and I'm not just talking about in Congress. I am not an American so I have no weigh-in on American politics or Obama's policy. Ergo I can tell you that Europeans know that republicans in general, appear to care about themselves more so than the well being of the American citizens. See the main opposition to the health care bill. The way you write makes your views seem out of touch with reality and somewhat dispropotionate. It makes you appear to be one of these people. For example:

I suppose it's hard to not add to the deficit when you're freeing Europe and the world from the Soviet domination that Jimmy Carter was clueless to do anything about. It was amazing how "Reaganomics" propelled us out of the Carter era of recession and stagflation

Were spending too much so let's cut costs by making the federal government even larger...
More LoL'z...![]()
outrageous outrageous etc etc.
Further if you look back at your beloved Ronald Reagan again ChaZZZy, Americans didn't blame the incumbent, they blamed the president before him. Do you agree with this? He was trying to push the inflation out of the economy in the first quater of his presidency, wasn't he? Obama is trying to repair the damage ALREADY done by the previous incumbent, not make it worse. So before you rage moar, try to be perhaps a tad less partisan and make some more realistic posts.

Ummm for the record I'm not sure love is the right word but in any case he is a whole lot more popular than Bush worldwide, not just in Europe. I also don't think its fair to equate the EU with Europe. Public Opinion is a whole lot different from whatever that particular controversial political entity thinks. Naiver I completely agree with you about the two party system but then you turn around and make out like Obama is somehow different and more extreme than the average Democrat/Republican. He has a bipartisan administration and no amount of spin is going to make him any more socialist than say Clinton or Reagan for that matter. As I've said earlier in the thread a comparison with Reagan is not unfair and few, because I know some would, would accuse Reagan of being a socialist. Obama may fuck up in the future but for the moment he hasn't done anything that is really worthy of condemnation especially when compared to the last administration. Admittedly that isn't saying much but as I said before give the guy a chance.

Nice try at obfuscation.This is why getting information from Republicans means getting your facts wrong.... Reagan's approval dropped from the high 60's to below 50% after 1 year in office, and the ratings continued to drop (to below 40%) until the spring of '83 when the economy came out of recession....
And if Obama wasn't bi-partisan we'd be passing Single Payer healthcare right now...![]()

Obama is much more popular in Europe than he is here. Right now his approval is at 50% and he has wasted the huge amount of political he had when elected, faster than any President I can remember.

As I said long time ago here, recession is a blessing for Obama because it lets him say "Hey, it's not me, it's the crisis".
