Obama and Buyers Remorse

One week in and a poll of VOTERS says:

Obama shares my political views - 38%

Obama is left of my political views - 49%

Expect this to get worse as he tries to force through another bail out - oh, sorry, stimulus bill. Somehow funding abortion is part of the bill. . . Not really sure how that creates jobs or fixes our economy. I know what it does say - PORK

Obama is already spending his political capital to get pork pushed through that you, I and our kids will be paying for.

Obama keeps pushing that he will fix things like FDR. . .
Unemployment when FDR took office - 20%. Three terms of FDR unemployment dropped to 20%. . . . ya that worked. . .

Going to be a long ride folks

Update - OK, at the start of his third term it was still 20% - until WWII started. . .

Folks, what pulled the world out of the Great Depression and specifically the US out of it was WWII. . . . We don't want to go there again. Obama is missing the historical point here and not seeing that the policies of FDR did not work. . . .

After three terms of FDR it was 1944. Regardless if you want to give credit to FDR or the war, there was not 20% unemployment in the middle of World War II.

OK, the start of his third term then. I don't think we want to use his method to get us out of this. . . a WWIII would be bad for everyone
