Answer 1

Only the weekly publication of the DNC newsletter says Obama is doing a great job. The rest of us who choose to live in reality know the real score.

Answer 2

Because most Americans never leave the country and have no real way of understanding how America is seen by the rest of the world. Last year I traveled to 8 different countries - from S America to Europe to Asia and also Canada. 100 percent are we respected more with Obama in office. To the outside world, Bush was the most hated American president since Reagan. Is the Washington Times still owned by the Moonies?

Answer 3

We had it all, just like Bogey and McCall, living the American dream. Worked hard, go for Sunday afternoon drives, vacation every once in a while. Then along came Jones, all skin and bones, saying this has got to stop, they are using my money, having too good a time. I am going to call in all my money.



With this taking place, loosen your home, car, job, tends to make one feel threatened.

Although I wouldn't put much faith in the intelligence of the majority of Americans, not the smartest of people at the best of times.
