I agree it depends on if the people that voted for him are happy or not. If people are out of work, or social programs are shutting down due to all governmnts being flat broke (I'm helping that happen!) then many will turn on him
Normally, that would be true.
However, you have to look at who the people blame for this mess. That person is George Bush and not Barrack Obama.
Fastforward to Nov, 2012. If the public is again asked "Who caused the recession - Bush or Obama?", I believe the people are going to still say Bush.
The Congress on the other hand is not going to be given a free pass because the leadership is just piss poor. As a lifetime democrat, I would love for us to take control over both houses for a number of years and get the things passed that need to be passed (safe social security, universal healthcare, a more agressive tax bracket on upper incomes / end of loopholes, etc).
That's not going to happen though as Reid and Pelosi are not competent enough to get it done. We're going to lose some in 2010 - that's for sure.
It is so easy to blame Bush, but do some research, this was started in 1913, when Woodrow Wilson sold out to the Federal Reserve Act.
You want universal healthcare, what a farce, stand in line and wait, and if the Government deems it necessary you get help, if not you die. Universal healthcare is not working in other countries, why in the world would it work here?
Safe social security, you think the Government can best invest your money for you, they have destroyed the American economy, and you want to trust them with your life savings?
A more aggressive tax bracket on upper incomes, what a joke, the rich people pay 90% of the taxes in the United States, yea sounds like a good idea (NOT), people that work hard and prosper, lets take even more of there money and give it to the people that sit on there butts and do nothing.
Making people dependent on the Government is what the Deomcraps want, it is a way to control the people. What happened to the American dream of working hard and making it. Why, where is the incentive?
Let me get this right, I work my A$$ off so I can give more money to the Government, so they can in turn give it to a lazy people that want to sit in there free Government issued houses, and pop out babies in order to get more food stamps, free medical insurance and spending money. While I have to pay for my own house, my own medical insurance and be responsible for my own actions.
Am I missing something here?
The people that make jobs in America are the rich people, if I were one of them rich people I would get the hell out of America and take my money to another country, before I let the American Government redistribute my money to poor slobs.
You Democraps are a warped since of what is right.
