No political blood was spilled as President Obama and House Republicans spent the better part of 90 minutes discussing the economy, the debt limit and job creation.

We may not have a tea party type of leadership in the House of Representative; however, it better then having Nancy Pelosi, Stany Hoyer and James Clyburn shoving thing down our throat and against our believed. We all need to remember how Pelosi and the Democrat leadership taunted the people gathering on capitol hill before they pass the Socialist Deathcare by walking with the Speaker gravel in Pelosi’s hand. We remember that for November 2012 also.

Just saw a poll on a cable station (not sure which one) showing Obama with a 54% approval rating. How can that be??? Are Americans really that stupid? Discouraging.

Republicans better get it quickly. The economy has never recovered and is now going further down. When I say get it, I mean POTUS Obama is out to destroy America. period!!! The sooner the Republican Party clashes with and defeats Obama, the America hater, the better off the country will be. Now, Palin, Trump, Bachman, Paul, West, Cain, etc. get it!!! Obama should be broomed, not by Republicans, but by his own Democrat Party!!! He should be forced to resign or be impeached immediately!!! If not, the entire Democrat Party will go down with him in November, 2012!!! Democrats, your time to doom Obama is running out quickly!!!

It was probably a poll of registered Democrats only...

Obama is an idiot. He has never even held a job.

The Repubs can take him if they want to. He is weak.

The big question is, ‘Do they want to?’ Or are they the same as him?

Real Clear Politics has him at almost 52%. Have you seen other polls where he is lower?

There is no hurry at all. No debt increase puts all the burden on cutting spending. There is no way that tax increases are going to pass with this economy.

Amen. The GOP holds the Ace in the hole on the debt ceiling vote. That meeting should have been less than 10 minutes long. Boehner and company should have laid down the agenda, no negotiating and walked away. Take it or leave it. Thats what the Dems do.

When is someone going to drop the fraud birth certificate on him?

Then the poseur is impeached, all laws that he signed are void, we get rid of Obamacare, Dodd/Frank; get the unspent stimulous money back in our treasury, fire all the czars, maybe a do-over at the SCOTUS, and start over with weak-kneed Plugs at the helm.

That's a CNN poll of "Americans" and yes, we are that stupid. Thread here.

Polled stupidity decreases in this order: Americans/Adults -> Voters -> Likely Voters.

“The fact that we’re here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means ‘The buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”

Then-Sen. Barack Obama, back in 2006.

How can that be???

Because the media keeps propping him up. They are not reporting things as they truly are. They are lying to protect his sorry a$$. I hate to break it to the obama-loving media, but when the economy collapses again they are going down with the rest of us. I'm so sick of this. It's become a game all about saving obama instead of saving AMERICA!

If poll taker was B.E.T. Or some teachers union,
Or some such then chances are it may b slightly biased
