AMERICAblog: 76% of Americans think country on wrong track

"Only four presidents -- Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and the elder George Bush -- have seen that number drop below 30 percent during their time in office; their parties all lost the White House in the next presidential election."
Not defending the evildoers, but all you are saying is that only one President has not had this honor since the poll began. Therefore it is meaningless. There is no reason to resort to tricks to make this administration look bad.

Yeah, but the trick is getting those 76 percent to see that the reason the country is on the wrong track is not the fault of the Democrats.

McCain could win on the Pelosi/Reid offshore drilling ban issue alone. Low and middle income Americans are absolutely incensed that congress is doing nothing to help the situation. That's probably why Obama flipped this week.
he did have to adjust for that reason and that mccain got the upper hand
america is still pretty gullible. hope being robbed will stop the rape.

Putting US oil companies out of business via taxation is a dream come true for the Saudis and other middle eastern potentates and dictators. Maybe Obama is seeing the light. Exxon is already thinking about getting out of the refining business in the USA. They can make more money in the bond market.

Quit being such an Oklahoma oil whore.
Exxon Mobil Corp. broke its own record for the highest quarterly profit for a U.S. company on Thursday, joining other major oil companies in posting stronger earnings on the back of sky-high oil prices.
The average price of a barrel of oil was slightly less than $125 US during the quarter, nearly double last year, which also increased earnings at Royal Dutch Shell, Eni and Repsol, three of Europe's largest oil companies.
Exxon's second-quarter net income rose 14 per cent to $11.68 billion US, or $2.22 a share, in the quarter. Excluding one-time items, Exxon earned $2.27 a share, more than a quarter below analysts' expectations.

My God! That is the most brazen parcel of bullshit I've ever heard. Now you are claiming the real purpose of the US oil corporations is to fight Middle Eastern terrorism and make the world safe for democracy. That is on par or maybe even exceeds McCain claiming he is the second coming of Teddy Roosevelt or Bush claiming he is the second coming of Christ. There are a lot of flaws with the Democratic Party, and I am sickened that they have sold their souls to the corporations, but compared to the crap that is the thieving, lying, murdering Republican Party, well ...
Go! Go! Go Democrats!

no, troll - they make money any way they please which is off the backs of we the people (although people like you are too stupid/brainwashed to realize this) so, sure - let them drill wherever they want but let's also make it impossible for big oil to sell overseas if they do, and THEN let's hear how much they'll cry about lack of freedom in the marketplace.
you think you deserve a free ride but somebody's got to pay for the follies and crimes of your boy the worst President ever.. it won't be the ones who made the huge windfall profits, that's for sure.
big oil is just SO patwiotic and baaaad ol' Congwess won't let them make the biggest pwofits in wecorded histowy - well boo hoo hoo hoo.

The Bush Administration itself says no oil would be produced until 2017 and, even then, it would at best effect prices by maybe a nickel a gallon.
You know you're bullshitting.
We're already the third largest producer of oil in the world, unfortunately we consume more oil than the top two producers combined (Saudi Arabia and Russia) can pump out.
Marginally raising domestic production 10 years from now will do jack shit.

"A record 1.6 million barrels a day in U.S. refined petroleum products were exported during the first four months of this year, up 33 percent from 1.2 million barrels a day over the same period in 2007. Shipments this February topped 1.8 million barrels a day for the first time during any month, according to final numbers from the Energy Department.
The surge in exports appears to contradict the pleas from the U.S. oil industry and the Bush administration for Congress to open more offshore waters and Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling."
i just had a letter to the editor published in response to some person who said if you like these high gas prices, thank a Democrat.
I wrote a note of thanks in return to Republicans for the lovely oil spill at the mouth of the Mississippi River. More drilling is not the answer. The NRDC has info on it's website noting that Bush's "drill anywhere" energy policy has been in place since 2003 and domestic drilling permits have almost doubled. But have oil and gas prices gone down?"
you're just gong to have to find a new line of work, busboy. lotsa people are.

There is only a very small percentage of that 24% who are really the elites who are all for Bu$hco because of their greed, and extensive wealth. In fact, there are some super rich who ALSO think we are on the wrong track and realize they aren't giving back enough to keep our version of capitalism healthy. There is a large percentage of that 24% who are just complete moron Wal-Mart shopping Bush Voting Fox News viewing and Rush Limbaugh listening sheep who couldn't think for themselves if their lives depended upon it. In fact, I'd argue their lives do depend on their ability to see through the spin, and they consistently vote against their self interest and put their very livelihoods in jeopardy. A case in point would be the guy who lost his trucking job, and shot up the Unitarian Church in Knoxville, TN because of their "liberal agenda." He is an example of example of that 24%.

This hits the nail on the head for a whole lotta voters. Karl Rove brilliantly realized that the bumper sticker GOD GUNS GAYS will work. Between elderly voters who are clinging to some 1955 vision of where they were happiest and wanna go back to...no fags, no Negroes, that sorta world, and the idiot fundies, he has figured out how to spin for GOP candidates. Yes, these people keep voting against their own interests because they don't know what is going on. Karl Rove makes brilliant distractions from reality for them and his complicit MSM helps the game along.

See if you can wrap your brain around this fact, Cowboy: I don't approve of Bush because of the way he's handled the war or the economy. But, Obama, the self avowed socialist in deed; isn't the answer unless he gets a big revelation soon. So, part of that 76% is to the right of Bush, instead of to the left. That explains the gallup polls.

We learned that in 9th grade social studies back when I was in school, back when schools still taught things (1961).

According to an NBC report, the traveling press has been notified by Obama camp that they'll be staying for about 20 hours in South Bend, Indiana, this week.
Could be nothing, but speculation has begun about an Evan Bayh announcement.
However, Bayh is from Terre Haute, about 4 hours away. Who's from South Bend? Former congressman, 9/11 commissioner and early Obama supporter Tim Roemer, who was tipped by Ben Smith and Chris Cillizza as a potential Obama veep a long time ago, but has since dropped off the radar.
(On the other hand, Roemer is also part of Obama's religious outreach group, and I'm thinking this could also be some kind of speech and/or conference on faith in America--Notre Dame would be a pretty good location for that.)

John McCain's oft-used Teddy Roosevelt analogy is fitting His 'ultimate hero' was also a maverick Republican admired for military courage and devoted to conservation. And the fact that T.R. was the youngest president and is widely revered? Just good PR. By James Hohmann, Special to The Times 9:01 PM PDT, August 2, 2008 Los Angeles Times
WASHINGTON -- John McCain acts like he wants you to think he's the second coming of Theodore Roosevelt.
The presumptive Republican nominee channels the 26th president
Whew! Talk about bullshit. Only thing worse was Bush pretending to be the second coming of Christ saying he talks to his higher father. I've defended McCain in the past, but he has fallen below being defendable. This guy is sickening, though I still won't say he is a Bush clone. No McCain has found his own unique, maverick way of being just as disgusting, vile, sickening, revolting way of being a loser. Really though the difference are insignificant. While both slimed their way out from under a rock, both slugs have unique DNA. Still both are slimy, disgusting slugs. Yuk! Fortunately, Obama is the sun and they have to hide from the sun.

Unfortunately, a lot of that discontent about the country going in the wrong direction isn't going to turn into votes for anyone. I know people who regularly vote who just aren't going to bother this year because they think neither party is on their side, so don't forget that factor.
And all of them aren't just rightwingers, either. You get a better picture if you count independents, some of whom are disgusted left-leaners who are still in agony over the do-nothingness of the Dems over the last 8 years, Rethug blocking or not. It just doesn't seem like there was much fight in them, to be honest. At least there wasn't in Pelosi and Reid, or the rest of the DLC. Look at their voting record of caving in to Bush, for example. People are truly disgusted with the last 8 years.
Both parties thought they had "change" candidates--of course, McBush folded and turned his campaign into a train wreck, and the jury is still out on Obama who seems to cave on some issues himself--witness his vote on FISA, and now on drilling offshore, the latter probably because 60% of the country seem to believe it's a good idea. And he may even have some suprises before the election; we'll see.
We would certainly see a change if Obama is elected (and I'll vote for him), but people are sophisticated in some respects--they know no politician can fulfill every campaign promise...even though those changes were needed yesterday, and Congress didn't, and won't, always cooperate.

A buddy of ours works at Exxon here in Irving, near Dallas. He told us...strictly off the record...that most of the upper management at Exxon pay nothing in income taxes. They have brilliant tax attorneys to make sure that nothing goes to Washington.

An associate of mine made $163,000+ last year and after itemizing, business deductions, etc, had a "taxable income" of $23,000. The Tax Code was designed by, and written for, the rich (special thanks to the Regan reicht wingers of the 80's). Before Reagun the average citizen could deduct home mortgages, medical, school supplies, etc, etc, etc - no more. >90% of Americans just fill out the 1040EZ.

Cell phone users, from what I've heard, are not called during polls - this probably skews the results and leaves out a large population of younger voters. Matters not however because NOTHING has been done regarding voting irregularities and a 2d false flag is probably all that is needed to steal the 2008 elections. One can hope I suppose.

Obviously the ultimate goal of right track Republicans is to destroy America. They do as they please with no consequences. This 24 percent relishes stealing from honest Americans and Bush and McBush have given them carte blanche . It isn't enough for them to enjoy their ill begotten gains. They are not truly satisfied unless others are suffering from their theft, violence, and bigotry.
24 percent is represented by that group of Grand Old Party Members that don't vote for people they vote for Party because their Dad did, their Grandpa did, their great grandpa did . . . . You get the picture here?
