Obama's honeymoon bliss fading (Congressional Democrats Lacking in Faith?)

This is impossible.

Gallup Polling - unlike the NaziRethuglican Pollster Rasmussen - has assured us BHO is beloved by all.

If he's doing so great, why are the Dems starting to become nervous.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Obama regime has already failed. What a mess.

[chickadee]

A local wag said that who knew that “change” would end up meaning chump change.

(I’m a bad person - I laughed.)

[Bryan described himself as an Obama supporter who derived “intellectual satisfaction” from the president’s healthcare, education and climate proposals. But he questioned whether most people connected such complicated issues to the plunging values of their retirement accounts or to soaring unemployment.}

What the hell is “intellectual satisfaction.” What an elitist pr*ck this Bryan is.

[EyeGuy]

Why is this a surprise?

The story of Socialism IS failure.

Does no one read history any more?

[A_Former_Democrat]

They knew he was a fake from the beginning. Just a pretty boy to parade before the ignorant masses, with their fingers crossed he might actually know some things.

>Does no one read history any more?

No.

[Wisconsinlady]

Does no one read history any more?

Apparently not enough people which is why we are destined to repeat it.

[Bertha Fanation]

Hey, his falling popularity is no problem. Rumor has it he is working on a new speech that will be a real tub thumper.

While lawmakers debate controversial proposals contained in the new president’s debut budget — cutting farm subsidies, raising taxes on charitable contributions, etc. — there is a growing sense that time is running out faster than expected.

Taxing charitable donations? How low can Obama get? Taxing the charitable donation that buys food and diapers for babies of poor single mothers is taking food right out of poor babies mouths. Why, that's reminiscent of Gengis Kahn!

(conservatives can use the "it's for the chillin' angle, and throw a little John Kerry in there too! )

What is so breathtaking is failure in a month or even before he started? The market and businesses discounted the future. I think if Juan McCain (gag) things would be bad but not like this.

Business people and people with above average incomes would be spending. The day after the election - I knew quite afew business owners that started laying people off. They were scared Obama was a (Islamo)-marxist and a lightweight.

Nothing is going to change that perception. These are the people who create jobs and they have NO confidence in Hussein.

“I think he’s got six months,” Nagin said of Obama’s honeymoon. “The real attack dogs will come out at the end of the year, if there is not real progress.”

Uh...Ray? "Six Months" is a little past Labor Day, not 'the end of the year'. Yes we really need sharp 'rat minds like this to rule over us.

[Army Air Corps]

You criticised Nagin, ergo you must me a horrible racist. Off to the re-education day camp!

[hinckley buzzard]

“I don’t think there’s any question that they are trying to use this economic crisis to put in place a massive expansion of the size of government in the area of healthcare and education,” said Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), who recently withdrew as Obama’s nominee for Commerce secretary. “They’re using this as a stalking horse, this severe economic situation.”

Perfect answer. Judd gets it! Hallelujah.

[Major Matt Mason]

Some Democrats have started to worry that voters don’t and won’t understand the link between economic revival and Obama’s huge agenda, which includes saving the banking industry, ending home foreclosures, reforming healthcare and developing a national energy policy, among much else.

There is no link between his plans and saving the economy, and anyone with half a brain (Democrats excluded) realizes this. The Obama Gang thinks we're a bunch of rubes, but they are betting wrong.

[television is just wrong]

One Bad Ass Mistake America...

Well the mistaken ones are the fools who put this idiot in office.

I think if Juan McCain (gag) things would be bad but not like this.

I'm guessing if McCain was in the Oval Office, you'd likely already be seeing Fred Thompson at Interior, Mitt Romney at Treasury, Rudy Giuliani as Attorney General, and, of course, Sarah Palin in the Vice President's office. I imagine most other positions would also be filled with very capable people. McCain certainly wasn't my first choice, but I'm certain his actions and cabinet choices would be inspiring confidence in the people and the markets -- not fear.

What will happen next year when they hand him another budget full of pork and earmarks?

There is no way that congress is going to give up the earmark game. He will either have to back down once more on his promise to eliminate earmarks or will have to go against his own party.

Too bad Republicans aren’t ethical enough to stop their own earmarks and take the high ground.

[Rome2000]

You mean you don't trust these guys on the economy?

They look so experienced and confidence inspiring.
