Here is a link to the PMSNBC website.  Participate in the poll and give our President a grade for his first 100 days.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29493093 (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29493093)

Almost 3 million votes and it's 40% for 'F' and 35% for 'A'................ wonder why that is?

I guess many of the sheep that blindly voted for the 'New Hope' are not to involved with keeping a watchful eye on what is going on in the political arena now that the election is in the rear view mirror.
If they were, he should have more 'A' votes.....or at least one would think.

Either that or this ain't the "change" they signed on for.

Two interesting stats,...

55,000,000 people DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM.

Poll seems to be coming down on the same lines as the election,....

66,947,981 personally owned firearms, killed NO ONE today....

Friday, April 24, 2009


For the first time since Barack Obama was elected president last November, more than half of U.S. voters (53%) say it is at least somewhat likely that the next occupant of the White House will be a Republican. Thirty-one percent (31%) say it is Very Likely.

Thirty-five percent (35%) say it is not very or not at all likely, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Twelve percent (12%) aren’t sure.

This is not an expectation related to the 2012 election. It is a question about the President following Obama which could happen in either 2012 or 2016.

Naturally, there is a partisan divide--77% of Republican voters say it’s likely the next president will be from their party. Just 39% of Democrats agree.

Still, that’s an increase among both parties from previous surveys. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 47% now say a GOP president is likely, while 33% think not.

Just after Obama’s election, 50% of voters said the next president is likely to be a Republican. But since the new president took office, that number has dropped into the mid-40s.

Forty-six percent (46%) of voters now say President Obama is governing like a partisan Democrat, down four points from last month. But the new finding is still higher than those in surveys during Obama’s first few weeks as president.

Thirty-five percent (35%) believe the president is governing on a bipartisan basis, and 18% are undecided.
Support for Obama remains stable in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

(
Fifty-five percent (55%) of voters say politics in Washington, D.C. will be more partisan over the next year, down slightly from a month ago, while 29% say it will be more cooperative.

Most Republicans (69%) and unaffiliated Americans (57%) expect more partisanship. Democrats are evenly divided on this question.

For the first time since Obama became president, however, voters see congressional Democrats and Republicans as equally partisan. In previous surveys, Democrats who control both houses of Congress have been perceived as more partisan than the minority party.

Now, 57% say congressional Republicans are governing like partisan Republicans, while 20% say they’re acting on a bipartisan basis.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) say congressional Democrats are governing in a partisan fashion, although 19% see their performance as bipartisan.

This is perhaps not surprising following Rasmussen Reports’ surveys that delineate the differences between Mainstream America and the Political Class on issues like government bailouts and last week’s “tea party” protests. On many issues, the gap between Mainstream Americans and the Political Class is bigger than the gap between Mainstream Republicans and Mainstream Democrats.

Subject: 2008 thru 2012



         

         

                 FROM THE FIRST BOOK OF DEMOCRAT:   

                OBAMA IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT. 

                HE LEADETH ME BESIDE STILL FACTORIES. 

                HE RESTORETH MY FAITH IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

                HE GUIDETH ME IN THE PATH OF UNEMPLOYMENT.

                YEA, THOUGH I WALK THRU THE VALLEY 

                OF THE BREAD LINE I SHALL NOT GO HUNGRY.

                HE TEACHETH ME HOW TO GET ALL MY SHIT...FREE. 

                OBAMA HAS ANOINTED MY INCOME WITH TAXES,

                MY EXPENSES RUNNETH OVER MY INCOME,

                SURELY, POVERTY AND HARD LIVING WILL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF HIS TERM.

                FROM HENCE FORTH WE WILL LIVE ALL THE DAYS 
                OF OUR LIVES IN A RENTED HOME WITH AN OVERSEAS LANDLORD, OR A GUV'MENT SUPPLIED FEMA TRAILER.

                BUT I AM GLAD I AM AN AMERICAN, I AM GLAD THAT I AM FREE.. BUT I  WISH I WAS A DOG AND OBAMA A TREE.   

                 Today's  Quote 
                "Americans grew tired of being thought to be dumb by the rest of  the world,

                so they went to the polls and removed all doubt."

NBC reported of the roughly 250 campaign promises he has come through with about two thirds, 66%.  If it was a test, that'd be a D.

 The competition isn't very tough in DC, there's Marion Barry and Maxine Waters, BO hasn't been filmed smokeing crack with a hooker, or slapping a Capital Cop, so I guess he's doing above average.

Now, now....just because you haven't seen it yet...give it some time.  It takes a bit to get the indictments out.

And don't forget our ambassador to outer space, Cynthia McKinney, formerly representing California.

Brilliant  :P new grading system being pushed by academicians only rates students 1, 2, or 3. 

How about the way many HR departments grade employees:   Exceeds Expectations, Meets Expectations, Needs Improvement.
