#1 "President Barack Obama says his low approval rating is a reflection of public unhappiness with Congress."

-so by that theory, the reciprocal is also true?

#3 If I were the Pub nominee and in debate #1 with Obama, I'd first find a way to ask him why it's everyone else's fault, from Bush to Congress to the Tea Party to the earthquake. Then I'd turn to the cameras and audience, raise my hand and pledge that if elected president, I'd assume responsibility for the office on the same day I was sworn in.

#4 Yah, but who spent a load of money on health care prior to a recovery? That wasn't rocket science.

#5 Does he believe his own nonsense or just shovel it out for the useful idiots that will follow him over the cliff.

#6 Does he believe his own nonsense

If he didn't, he wouldn't stick with it.

#7 Not bad, Steve. I think instead of the traditional flag or Republican button I'd wear a button with the current unemployment rate on it.

I'm sure there are a few computer companies that still produce things in the States that could do that. I'd buy one, if it wasn't too expensive. Can you imagine 50,000 TEA Party members on the Mall with those, each flashing brightly as they updated? The Repuglycon candidate wouldn't even have to campaign.

#11 Maybe some enterprising entrepreneur will take up that idea, OP.

I'd buy one. :-D
