Thread Name: BS: Popular Views: the Obama Administration
Subject: RE: Popular Views: the Obama Administration
"The hundred-day mark tends to fall during a period when Americans are still evaluating a new president. The danger period for most presidents comes later in their first year in office," Holland explained.

"Bill Clinton, for example, still had good marks after his first 100 days, but his approval rating had tanked by June of 1993. Ronald Reagan's approval rating stayed over 50 percent until November of his first year in office, but once it slipped below that mark, it stayed under 50 percent for two years. So Obama's current rating certainly does not indicate that he is out of the woods yet."




"I do not know the exact formulations behind all the decisions Mister Will sees fit to curdle and bitch about"

Why not? Where is all that openness and transparancy that Obama the Candidate promised???






"You sure to love to suck on the bilious teat, Brucie. And George Wills and Krauthammer, your other fountain head of bilious wisdom, have plenty of bad humor, bitterness, and dripping sardonic turns of phrase to spare. A pure river of bitter bile to sate the most disenchanted and jaded appetite for negative nabobbery."

Again, you attack people rather than reply to the ideas presented. Are you so certain that you have no other recourse? It seems that you dare not argue facts or ideas, but feel you can get people to agree with you by telling them how awfull the ones who disagree with you are.
