Koch: Falling out of love with Barack Obama (Ruh-roh!)
Worl Tribune ^ | 8/11/09 | Ed Koch

Posted on 08/11/2009 6:53:24 PM PDT by pissant

I continue to be a supporter of President Barack Obama. He has had several outstanding successes. The major one has been a positive change in the economy due primarily, I believe, to his hand-picked team of economic advisers who, from all indications, have fashioned an effective economic recovery plan. The recovery still has a long way to go, but using the language of my doctors at the hospital in which I recently spent six critical weeks recovering from open-heart surgery, “All the numbers are going in the right direction.” I also believe his reaching out to our allies and those not allied with us has somewhat calmed the world’s roiled waters.

Yet, strangely, the President’s support is waning. A recent CNN poll gave him a C-minus after 200 days in office, whereas at the end of his first one hundred days, he got almost universally a B-plus.

I think most people would say that the President’s standing with the American public has suffered as a result of his handling of health care policy. During the election, Barack Obama promised to speedily deliver universal health care.

“I think most people would say that the President’s standing with the American public has suffered as a result of his handling of health care policy.”

“I THINK most people would say that obamanation’s standing with the American public has suffered because they found out he was a fascist serial liar.”

so, I guess the author and I differ, would you say?

Obama’s success of “positive change in the economy?” WTF!

Koch must be fantasizing how he and Abe Beame did such a great job helping NYC’s economy.

Koch is another stinking RAT like Rangel who also lives in a rent-controlled apt.

Ed, more than 2.6 million unemployed Americans since -8bama began his assault on prosperity would strongly disagree with your stupid statement.

Egads..... and to think that I once admired this man. Now he’s just an O-dope wearing kneepads.

Hmph... another 200 days, and he'll be scoring an F minus with the public.

Worst. Precedent. Ever.

Hey Ed, you spent SIX WEEKS recovering from open heard surgery?

Obama wants you to take a pain pill.

How old are you anyway?

Whatever your age, you are much too old to use up our precious resources.

I don’t mind him coming out of retirement to give the gloomies to the libtards.

Every now and then Crotch wakes up.

This is one such moment.

Atleast he keeps his personal “gay” lifestyle in the closet.

Who in the Big Apple doesn’t live in a rent-controlled apt, if not a co-op or condo ?

Love, we know, is never having to say you’re sorry. When falling out of love, hopefully, a reversible process, saying one is sorry is not enough; change is required.

Ick.

Why do so many of our heroes ultimately have clay feet?

Because they never should have been given "hero" status in the first place.
