Do you approve of everything you've seen from President Obama?

[Divine Discontent]

Poll question: Do you approve of everything you've seen from President Obama?

Very direct and to the point.

I really hope you all will simply choose one of the two choices, as this will answer something I really would like to see answered. Thanks.

[silverojo]

1. I'd like to support him 100%, I really would

But in some respects, he's leaning dangerously close to Bush territory. Seriously, this wiretapping business is something that no Democrat should be supporting. :(

[Cant trust em]

2. This poll seems a little silly to me.

I find it hard to believe that anyone is supportive of 100% of everything Obama has done. It's like one of those true/false questions you'd get in school that if they had the word "always" or "never" they were automatically false.

I'll just have to settle for generally very supportive.

3. it may be silly for you to see respondents from one of the choices - but you will. eom

[Reterr]

4. Push poll (though I still voted for the second option)

I think a lot of people who don't believe option 1 would still feel resentful about being forced to option 2 as a sort of scolding or whatever for defending Obama.

(However, there are a few out there who can genuinely check option 1 and they are a little scary....
I think Obama would find them scary.)

5. President Obama has repeatedly said we should speak up when we have concerns.

A lot of us are Obama supporter but also Obama prodders. And we should never be seen as disloyal for taking that stance.

[Divine Discontent]

6. wonderful sentiment in your comment, and I have said your subject comment several times too! eom

7. How could one man ever get 100% support for everything he does

from a group as diverse as DU?

[HughMoran]

9. Where in this thread does it say otherwise?

Or do you just post this in every thread on principal?

[Ken Burch]

11. I post it frequently because it needs to be said

And it was legitimately part of the response that was needed to the poll questions.

Does it bother you that I post it? If so, why?

Sometimes you have to repeat these things to keep them from being swallowed in the river of words.

I will always oppose anyone whose argument is that people with concerns about the administration or legitimate differences on policy should just "shut up" or "wait-it's not TIME yet".

Every other decent Democrat should oppose such efforts as well.

20. Lol

No, but it's funny that you come here just to defend your ability to be critical - even if that's all you actually say. I think your posts of late are funny - but kind of sadly revealing of your state of mind.

[Ken Burch]

23. It's not about MY abilities or MY rights. It's about the rights of all DU'ers

Why do you feel entitled to be dismissive and contemptuous of anyone with a slightly different view?

You DO get it that we're all on the same side here, don't you?

[Ken Burch]

24. Also, really, why do you CARE what I post?

My posts are on any number of topics and express any number of views. None of them have ever done the Democratic Party nor the Obama Administration any harm.

[HughMoran]

8. I can't believe you think this is important

You really don't know the answer and relative proportions expected?

[Divine Discontent]

10. important enough for you to read and comment upon - if I felt the exact way you describe yourself

about a situation I would not waste my time commenting on it. So, obviously, yes, I find it interesting enough to ask, that's a silly question. Why do political interest types love to watch discussions about possible electoral vote outcomes, it interests them. I wanted to see how much support there was on a progressive website for everything Obama does as being acceptable. If it doesn't interest you I cannot understand why you would waste even a second of your life on reading it - since the title explains what the poll is without pulling any punches. Have a good day HughMoran.

19. I wanted to see if there was any nuance to the poll

Since there isn't, I though "hmmm, this is stupid" and told you so - so, there's that.

[TheKentuckian]

12. 100% seems far out

I don't approve of 100% of what I've done the past two or three months. Obama is doing extremely well against my expectations and his campaign promises but it is closer to 50% on the scale than 100 "approve" on my part.

I guess 50%+ is just as good or better than I've seen, so there's a certain cheer of knowing you have a glass half full.

[Number23]

13. People will vote Option A just to f*ck things up

I bet even Obama isn't 100% happy with everything he's done so far.

[MadBadger]

14. Completely Agree.

[stray cat]

15. No but I think he is the best we are likely to ever get and I'm happy he is in office

[LWolf]

16. Other: "No, there are very few things I don't disapprove of." nt

[Uzybone]

17. Ridiculous question, no-one is 100% in agreement with anyone

[JuniperLea]

28. I'll take your ridiculous, and raise you a stupid...

Because anyone who really thought they were going to agree with him 100% is really, really stupid. Hell, DU doesn't even agree with everything 100%!!!

Ridiculous, and stupid. Yup.

[Peacetrain]

18. O course not.. Only those wanting a Messiah, perfect being, accuse him or his supporters

of thinking he is.

[stillcool]

21. No. But then I don't approve of everything..

I see myself do either. Perhaps you should do a poll asking if people here are human.

[kid a]

22. haha...lol...smilie face...wink

cute poll.

[bigwillq]

25. Nope.

I think that's impossible. I don't approve of everything anyone does.

[baldguy]

26. "I belong to no organized political party. I'm a Democrat."

No dittoheads here.

[JuniperLea]

27. This is really irrelevant...

Ask again in a year. There's been no time for him to delve into many issues, and even less time to comment. That said, there sure are a lot of armchair MBA's and Constitutional Professors here... the hand-basket to hell is already singed around the edges so there's no saving it now. I'm going to keep the faith for a little longer, even though, at face value, I don't agree with everything. But then, I never really expected to. That's just silly.
