You really have to wonder how the Great and Almighty Obamamessiah got elected with numbers like that... Or is this just an acute case of "buyer's remorse"...?
Linoge, dear, read the poll -- 70% of the people who answered this poll didn't vote for Obama. He got elected because the people who voted for him didn't vote in this poll.
Which really isn't surprising, as the poll itself is sponsored by a conservative Christian organization.
It's not a bad poll by any means, but the people taking it are definitely from a certain sliver of society and their answers are pretty predictable based upon that.
We are all to blame for what is happening in our country's economy and we need to get over the finger pointing. We've been on a selfishness binge and can't seem to see that we are our own worst enemy. Of course, having sold off and out our country to China by making bad business deals on the backs of capitalistic greed has not helped us at all.
Easy to say we are all to blame after Obama has crashed and burned. He was a total failure and did nothing but vastly increase our debt. now you want to share the blame? No way dude. The Democrats controled Congress and past the vast majority if not all the legislation that did this to us and the housing marking, banks etc. . . . get over it and face facts
