1. I'm sorry, John...exactly WHO got elected President?

Not you?

Then STFU.

[TahitiNut]

21. Let him speak. It merely confirms the wisdom of electing Obama instead of him.

He gave the Democrats the best gift the GOP could give since George W. Bush: Sarah Palin.

He's become nothing more than a punch line. Every time Palin opens HER mouth it reminds folks of McCain's lousy judgment.

[Idealism]

2. No 68%- Not too bad for an "Agree/Disagree" poll

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. mccain is an ass.

[emulatorloo]

4. CNN wouldn't allow Kerry near a microphone after Nov 2004. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? n/t

[mediaman007]

46. CNN is a CIA propaganda tool: Check it out!

5. Wow! It the Corporate News Network re-words a clearly BIASED question.

IMNSHO, some pseudo-journalists are shameless. :(

[BlooInBloo]

24. Wow. That belongs in Fremont. (Hippie section of Seattle.)

[Bigmack]

6. Well, John....

if you think he's off to a bad start.... Obama must be doing it right!

[Jackpine Radical]

7. The vote:

No 66%
Yes 10%
I'm too stupid to read the question right, but I think Obama's doing fine 22%

[sutz12]

8. Yep....Barry was WAY too nice to the Refuse-licans. nt

[book_worm]

27. Barry? So you agree with McCain.

[thunder rising]

9. Of course it's OK to let the amazingly ignorant, old, 5-crash, has-been say what he wants.

[yellerpup]

10. Why this drumbeat?

Is President Barack Obama, as Sen. John McCain says, off to "a bad beginning"?
Yes 32% 8553
No 68% 17915
Total Votes: 26468

Hi, Alfredo! :hi:

[alfredo]

14. thanks. They want to reframe their obstructionism as Obama's failure.

[w8liftinglady]

16. excellent point

[yellerpup]

35. Everyone is an idiot to them.

They are done for a long, long time. (deep sigh of satisfaction...)

[alfredo]

45. And they call us elites

[yellerpup]

51. If being intelligent and principled makes us elite,

well OKAY! Just had to kick it again, Alfredo. The Gallup poll said 66% think Obama is off to a good start and 20% think McLame is full of it as of a few hours ago.

[alfredo]

52. He's doing very well. Let's hope we can say the same thing a couple

years from now. If he's doing well that means we are too.

[Danmel]

11. What a dick head

Go home John, no one cares what you think

[Jazzgirl]

12. McCain is so jealous that the presidency was

ripped from his grasp that he is doing anything he can to sabotage Obama. I'm surprised he hasn't held his breath until he passed out like he used to do when he was a kid. He is a hateful fucker.

[Spazito]

13. Instead of giving McCain any credibility, CNN should just hilight...

their OWN poll:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/02/13/poll-trouble-signs-for-obama-picks-over-cabinet/

Obama is:

*providing strong leadership for the country -- 80%

*handling foreign policy -- 76%

*dealing with the economy -- 72%

*handling policies on terrorism -- 68%

*choosing his Cabinet -- 61%

*overall approval rating -- 76%

I think that answers their own question.

[edbermac]

15. Who got off to a bad start picking Sarah Palin as a running mate?

:rofl:

[EV_Ares]

17. McCain is continuing to make himself look bad. I think he knows now that the people

of the US know they made the right choice by choosing a young, energetic, non-wavering, decisive, intelligent man over McCain who never seemed to know which way to go and all he can do is bitch about everything.

Hey, give it up John, you lost big time.

[alfredo]

50. Picking Palin not only sunk his campaign, it also highlighted the

anti intellectualism of the GOP.

[Solly Mack]

18. Things a loser would say,

[Vickers]

19. And you, sir, are having a poor finish.

:eyes:

[ZombieHorde]

20. DUed.

Yes 32% 10309
No 68% 21791
Total Votes: 32100

[jimshoes]

22. If people were all that interested in Ol' Johnnie's opinion

they would have let him know sometime around last November. They didn't. Nothing has changed in that regard John.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

23. I'd say he's off to a GREAT start

He got a major economic plan passed in less than a single month since he was inaugurated- with at least 3 Republicans voting for the plan as well (a singularly amazing feat given the otherwise solid block of GOP opposition and obstructionism. He even outdoes Clinton who didn't get a SINGLE GOP vote for his economic package). I'd call that pretty DAMNED successful!!!! GOBAMA!!!!

[BlooInBloo]

25. Then you're clearly not a "true progressive".

:P

[book_worm]

29. Don't call into question that a fellow DUer isn't a true progressive

just because they might disagree with you on some issues.

[BlooInBloo]

30. What excellent advice. Golly but I wish I would have thought of that on my own.

[Tesha]

39. BlooInBloo is just "one of those" DUers who seems to try to be offensive and is proud of it. (NT)

[Proud Liberal Dem]

40. WTH is that supposed to mean?

Are we supposed to dislike Obama or something (or are you simply being sarcatic/playful)?

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

43. Making fun of all of the self-proclaimed "true progressives" who bitch about everything Obama does..

and who declare themselves who is and is not a "true progressive".

Naturally, they've ruined the term.. I thank gawd I'm not a "true progressive" like them.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

53. Oh I see

Well, I'd like to think that there's plenty of room among progressives/liberals to SUPPORT Obama as well as criticize him. I think that for some people NOBODY would be a "perfect" POTUS. Heck, I even read that FDR was not even a flaming progressive when he first took office. Naturally, nobody is going to agree with everything Obama (or anybody else) does but he's certainly no GWB, Cheney, McCain, et. al. Al Gore and John Kerry no doubt wouldn't have been flaming progressives either but I doubt that anybody here would argue (with a straight face) that either of them wouldn't have been better than GWB during the past 8 years. Frankly, I think both of them were robbed (well, mugged might be a better term to use) Maybe we're all so used to fighting against GWB that we haven't quite fully realized that Obama is POTUS and McCain is NOT. Some people are probably no doubt upset that Obama hasn't done EVERYTHING that they might have wanted him to do yet too but, frankly, I don't think we could've had anybody better for POTUS at this point in time and I have little doubt that he has a sincere desire to try to make things better for the rest of us. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming! ;-)

[4 t 4]

31. What happened to "Country First" John

doing nothing is better than this bill ? I don't think so. How quickly he forgot "Country First" Something I have not heard anyone say yet is what if Obama like Clinton can turn this debt into a surplus. Than the republican talking points of our grand children's grand children won't hold up. Now I know that seems like alot to ask but it's possible-right? The repukes points right now are the deficit,the deficit for the children well it can be turned into a surplus if the man behind the curtain is a genius and I think he might just be.

[book_worm]

26. Less than a month in and he has a major stimulus and health bill passed

and McCain thinks this is a bad start? Sounds like McCain is still stinging from his big loss.

[droidamus2]

28. Hey John

When the people of the United States want to hear what you have to say the will elect you!!!! Since he lost, and decisively, he should at least be aware enough to keep a low profile for awhile. Work behind the scenes maybe but he really needs to realize the people weren't interested in what he had to say during the campaign and they sure as hell don't care what he has to say now.

[Webster Green]

32. John McCain?

:rofl:

[dkofos]

33. NO

If mcgrumpy had won, he would probably be still unpacking.

[FLyellowdog]

34. I'm beginning to dislike McCain

about as much as I dislike our previous pResident...but not quite.

Idiots, both of them!

[Hubert Flottz]

36. Like his best buddy LIEberman John is a "Sore Loserman"

Get Over it John...

[annabanana]

37. oh PLEASE. . . . .merciful mother of pearl. . .

you really do have to actually put a stake through, don't you. . .

[DemoTex]

38. Same John McCain who picked one Sarah Palin as a running mate?

Talk about a bad start.

[LiberalPersona]

41. He's just jealous because he didn't win /nt

[Contrary1]

42. In what respect, Johnny?

Bwahahaha...

In other words, "We realize that we crapped all over the Democrats for eight years, but now we want to be best buds until we hold the majority again."

:rofl:

[trayfoot]

44. NO! And the poll reflects that!

[AndrewP]

47. A Neocon lecturing anyone about anything is just laughable to me

Fuck off John

[Graybeard]

48. McCain is off to a bad finish.

He could have ended his political career with grace but has chosen to remain a dickhead.

[madokie]

49. Fuck McPOW and his girlfriend lindsey graham too
