HUFFPOST SUPER USER Johnny Fruckles Drive-by Commentator 119 Fans 3 minutes ago (11:15 PM) The Quote of the Decade:"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, 'the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
The speaker?
Senator Barack H. Obama
The date?

I can't believe the White House actually thinks that compromise on these issues are what people want.Better for all to just raise the debt ceiling without any bad "deals" to go along with it and hash budget issues out later. And instead of debt, jobs need to be the first consideration.
People are frustrated because Obama seems to adopt Republican talking points and perspectives as the only valid ways to look at things. Is he weak or what? worldlyhick: It concerns people who supported the President that he seems http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/worldlyhick/barack-obama-approval-rating_n_913805_99982251.htmlHistory | Permalink | Share it MrStat1 I believe in the rule of law 236 Fans 34 minutes ago (10:44 PM) National polls do not matter.

HUFFPOST SUPER USER wildcherry69 Never look down on a man unless you pick him up. 82 Fans 34 minutes ago (10:44 PM) What is dragging Obama's poll numbers is he comes off as weak. Honestly most people don't blame Obama for the economy. They understand he inherited It. But he has to do something more than just give press conferences. He has got to reassure the American people that if Congress don't raise the ceiling. He will. I know he does not want to come off like an angry black man. But Mr. President, It is ok to do it once in a while. It's time to get gangsta. wildcherry69: What is dragging Obama's poll numbers is he comes off http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/wildcherry69/barack-obama-approval-rating_n_913805_99981844.htmlHistory | Permalink | Share it Michael5555 high resolution screen needed to read my micro-bio 229 Fans 1 minute ago (11:16 PM) Uhhh, no.

HUFFPOST SUPER USER Johnny Fruckles Drive-by Commentator 119 Fans 1 hour ago (10:17 PM) A lot of things-- pro and con-- can be said about what kind of president Obama is, but all would have to agree that he has failed to bring this nation together. In fact, I dare say that the gap between the races is wider now than any other time in the past forty years. Black or white, male or female, democrat, republican or independent, I would gladly trade Obama for anyone who can heal the nation's racial wounds so that we can move forward together; his way ain't workin'; this ain't the Change that I had in mind when I voted for him.
