He's a very polarizing figure. Surprised MSNBC kept that on their page.

Polls can be interesting.

Polls, even on line ones, can be interesting.

Remember all the polls on Bush the press loved to push? One how poorly he was doing? The stories failed to tell "the rest of the story". Some of the "doing poorly" votes were from conservatives that wanted him to be more conservative.

I wonder how many libs are giving BHO poor marks because we still have our guns and Rush and the other talk radio heads are still on the air?

very good point... There are surely throngs that are waiting for the POTUS to stop "acting like a moderate" and come back to the left.

Dont worry, just gotta make a good showing during those first 100 days.
The real POTUS still hasn't taken office yet.

MOO - effin' polls are like OERs - you live by the MFers and you'll die by the MFers.

I just took a poll of one - me - and my poll's consensus is that I just wish we'd get a POTUS who'd do the job that (1) needs doing and that (2) we consenually hired him to do.

Polls = opinions influencing opinions in a hamster on a wheel-like manner.

Can I add myself to your poll Sir? I agree with that comment completely.

I think some have stopped drinking the kool aid and starting to come to a truth they voted for someone who does not have the people or this country's best interest at heart. At least I sure hope so..

My only consolation is that in the mid term elections things will swing back to a Republican controlled congress. I pray it will be so..

Evil America?

I wouldn't care if he internally represented all those factors and ideals that made the US the caring and self-sacrificing nation that it is. When he kisses backside in SWA and South America to the point and publicly accepts the "evil" America (even by his silence), he is a traitor to his own nation, a nation that has freed and fed more peoples than any other nation ever dreamed of.

Not that I'm upset with him

I was told, yesterday, that "the President serves at the pleasure of Congress and they can impeach him any time they chose to remove him from office."

I thought he had to commit some sort of crime.. is this a correct statement. I am confused (my normal state apparently.)

Anyone clarify that for me.. thanks..

No.

You have to be Impeached in the House and Convicted in the Senate.

As long as a Democrat President has the majority in the House and Senate he will not be Impeached of Convicted.

President Bill Clinton lied under oath, a crime, and the Senate did the "Three Monkey" act.
