Well, whatever you do, don’t blame Obama’s plunging poll numbers on his failed policies. Blame spoiled, idiot Americans like lib talker Bill Press does.
Press: I think this says more about the American people than it does about President Obama. I think it just shows once again that the American people are spoiled. Basically, spoiled– as a people, we are too critical. We are quick to rush to judgment, we are too negative, we are too impatient. Especially impatient. We want it all solved yesterday, and if you don’t, I don’t care who you are — get out of the way. And again, basically spoiled. To the point where it makes me wonder if it’s even possible to govern today. I gotta tell you, I don’t think Abraham Lincoln — who certainly didn’t get everything right the first time — could govern today. I’m not sure Franklin Roosevelt could govern today, the way we are again. Just about like spoiled children. And it’s Americans, and it’s the media, and if we don’t get instant gratification, then screw you is basically our attitude.
Press is right. Americans are too damn spoiled to know what’s good for themselves. That’s why it’s good that socialists like Press and Obama are willing to make those decisions for them.

I think people need to stop blaming the President for everything that goes wrong. It's his fault there was an oil spill, it's his fault we're in all this debt, it's his fault there is unemployment. This is such a dumb way of thinking. You guys do realize that people are determined to take advantage of anything the government puts into play. People lie through their teeth to get welfare. It is the American citizens who are abusing these programs. Is it wrong to help someone who is suddenly unemployed and has no money to buy food? No. It's the people who take advantage of this that are at fault. The people who don't need help yet stand in line for hours at the welfare office with their hands out.
Honest question... Did you blame Bush for everything? Look inside your mind. If you did, you have no right to post that. If you didn't that is awesome, but you are misunderstanding the people around here a great deal.
I never blamed Obama for everything. There was also Pelosi, Reid, Frank,................
Actually, I don't blame the occupant of the White House (can't quite say President) for the Gulf Oil Spill. I do blame him and his staff of liars, cheats, nit-wits and half-wits for the inaction and laughable handling of the event, and the fall out. Then it was used to further their radical agenda to take down the American economy and enact enviro-wacko policies which aren't voted on by the people.
The spiraling debt, unemployment, undermining of American business, alienating our traditional allies, befriending our enemies, weakening our Military, growing the Big Brother/Nanny State Government by leaps and bounds, and setting race relations back 50 years, I DO BLAME HIM FOR THAT.
How do democrats and socialists appeal to their constitutents and get their votes, (when not engaged in out and out fraud)? By creating new entitlements, ever extending entitlements, fostering class warfare and envy, and convincing constituents that they are "owed" everything for free, that someone else will pay for it, that Government hand outs are free.
Lastly, one is judged by his actions, not his words. And by the company he keeps. obamas words have proven, more often than not, to be lies. The company he keeps are the lowest form of criminals, deviants, anarchists, liars, thieves, radicals and racists ever to inhabit the Government.
Feel free to throw the race card at me in 5-4-3-2-1...Just so you know, I would vote from LTC Allen West for President.
Conservatives think and use logic. Liberals "feel" and rely on their heart, and the soft music from the land of lollipops and gumdrops.
Excellent , idaho. I think the non-party just minght be the communist party.
I think the "special" in specialdarkwoman's name refers to "Special Education", as in: she's riding the "short bus" to school. Either that, or s/he's Calgal/Sam back with a new log-in.
So opining on "what should, would, or needs to be done" is the same as "doing nothing"?
Hokay.
And the first plank in your “Realalistic Party” platform should be "Dictionaries for Everybody!" (Unlike assholes, some people don't have one.)
Last I checked elections were held for the people by the people. Everybody wants to finger point. Opinions are like a**holes everybody's got one. So if you got one step up to the plate and do something instead of saying what should, would, or needs to be done. Our president cannot solve all of the worlds ills. Thinking I am going to start my own independent party "The Realalistic Party" Be real with your expectations and be real with your self.
You are a special dark woman? You mean like intellectually dark?
Yeah, KQ. I think the lights are out in there.
Maybe he should stick in his nose somewhere else than Europe or Israel to tell them what they should be doing.
Of course, he does not do that to the oppressive regimes in the Far East, Middle East or the other assorted tyrannical regimes that he apologizes to and bows to their leaders.
Actually I have done something to back my ideas and beliefs. It is called public service sector service in emergency services, and service in the military. I have not yet begun a Realalistic Party, as spelling long words really baffles me. (And if I had to refer to it as the Realal Party, it would be confusing as Halal. Kind of a double-negative, yes?)
My realistic expectations is to have a president and congress that actually listens to the people, doesn't block the media, responds to crisis without telling cute stories of his children, doesn't try to subvert the american people, and actually gives a crap about those they are supposedly leading.
And I step up to the plate by voting.
Oh I forgot got this one: a President that isn't trying to solve the world's ills, but one that actually tries to help Americans...first.
Realistically we should have a president and congress like that. Unfortunately we are living in Bizarro world right now.
Since the name of your party is going to be “The Realalistic Party”, shouldn't your slogan be "Be realal with your expectations and be realal with your self"?
Who is this Real Al of whom you speak? Is it Real Al Sharpton or Real Al Gore or some other Real Al? And who the phony Al you dislike so much?
Lady, you are a moron. A realal moron.
too funny
LOLOLOL Editor that was hilarious!
Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll be here all week.
Could it be Real Weird Al Yankovic?
Of course we complain...we get suspicious and angry at anyone who tries to tell us how to live our lives. We curse those who try to exert power over us at the point of a government gun and forcibly relieve us of our earnings and property in order to achieve their definition of a "fair" society. We spit in the face of any authoritarian dipshit from any political party who attempts to take over private industries and uses our confiscated money to bail out failing companies and favored political groups, and who keep maxing out the public credit card and saddling us with debt for generations to come.
We don't ask to be "governed" or "ruled" or herded like cattle or told what to do "for our own good"...WE JUST WANT TO BE LEFT THE HELL ALONE.
Why do these collectivists have such a hard time understanding that? It's really not that complicated...
How can these liberals possibly believe the crap that is spewing out of their own mouths?
Simple answer. THEY HAVE TO. They have been told for decades that the government is going to take care of them, so they have to believe it. Espesially now, you know, they have the Executive and Legislative branches of government, and are shoving every piece of socialist garbage down America's throat as fast as they can, telling us, "We know best". It's like brainwashing a 3 year old. If you say anything long enough, they'll believe it.
Liberals live in a vacuum. Truth hurts. If OTHERS do not get the program they are spoiled anti american leeching bastards, only THEM have the patience and the ability to discern what is best for everyone else? Please.
What's with this let's look for EXCUSES as to why Obama is not succeeding? This IS affirmative action isn't? Lame. Some jobs are just too important for this type of thinking.
KQ, if the studios you did your show from were located in the offices of the Center For American Progress, you too would sound like Bill Press. That is where his show eminates from, ground zero basically. I really believe that the CAP is directing much of the Obama agenda. It really is a gov't agency with no public oversite, thank you John Podesta.
Bill Press is a condescending liberal elitist fool lacking any common sense. A product of the over-educated anti-meritocracy thinking prevalent in todays educational establishments.
Hi Ray - nice comment about Mr. Press but the word dumbass would have saved you all those keystrokes.
Keep thinking that Press, you twit. There are reasons reason this nation is the greatest that has ever existed on this planet, & many people understand that those reasons are why Obama & company are trying to take us down several pegs. More people see that everyday, & that's why Obama's numbers are falling like a cartoon safe. My only hope is that Bill Press stands where that cartoon safe will land.
This idiot does not understand that there are still millions of Americans in danger of losing their homes to foreclosure, that are unable to find a job (and yes, they are looking) that there are many more millions that are underemployed (taking a lower paying job just to get by and stave off what may be beginning to look like the inevitable) and that there are millions of people who are sick and tired of watching doofus liberal politicians go on TV and smuggly and condescendingly wink and smile as if everything is either great or try to explain that it is the last guy's fault.
Man, if I hear his lib buddies state that they inherited this mess one more time without a fight from the reporter or interviewer, I might go full hister.
