Re: Majority of Americans lack faith in Obama
I think it goes without saying that whomever the current president is, he will be subject to every and all sort of satire and barb.

Re: Majority of Americans lack faith in Obama
And that naturally there will be more material and jokes about Bush because A) he was there for 8 years and B) he is down as one of America's worst presidents in history. Also, people like Bush or Sarah Palin are comical, nitwit kinda people. They are easier to make fun of because they are widely perceived as being not very bright. Obama is alot different. Many comedians that I have seen in interviews have said that Obama is very tough to make fun of because he can speak well and does not come off as dumb. His flaws are not immediately obvious in the way G.W.'s were (i.e. when he opened his mouth) or how Palin can't list newspapers she reads etc. Maybe they should emulate his demeanor instead of whining.

Re: Majority of Americans lack faith in Obama
Hindsight is 20/20, eh? That said, I figured it was appropriate to the topic. Obama had a high (relatively) approval rating at the beginning, similar to bush, and now it's at 60% disapproval.
Which is why I don't put much stock in the ratings. This always happens in a presidency. They promise things when elected, approval is high. They don't deliver, or they do other things, approval drops. |

Re: Majority of Americans lack faith in Obama
Well, actually it was a brilliant plan, it just didn't work out. But had we actually won the squares when we checked the box for Iraq after checking the box for Afghanistan, we *could* have had the perfect set up. Why? Because Iran is right in between and we'd be one move away from TIC TAC TOE baby, yeah!!!!
