Worst President Ever. Are we clear?

Worst President Ever. Are we clear? Yeah, those economic times under Clinton sure were dark. Remember cashing in all those stock options for vacation homes and Italian goodies? Yeah, that sucked.

He has a Nobel Peace Prize.
Presiding over 3 wars, that we know of ...
That should be enough to get him reelected.

The Rasmussen poll found that just 24 percent held the same political views of the average Republican and Democrat." Linked from story 2: "...Fifty-four percent (54%) of all voters think Obama is qualified to be president, but former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is the only Republican 2012 hopeful that a sizable number of voters considers qualified for the White House. Forty-nine percent (49%) say Romney is qualified to be president. Republicans hold a five-point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, June 12. But in a three-way race congressional contest between a generic Democrat, Republican and Tea Party candidate, the Democrat receives 40% of the vote to the GOP candidate's 21%. The Tea Party representative picks up 17% support." Thanks for posting this enlightening information from his story links. I'm shocked that Beaker would cherry pick data that supports his right-wing view and ignore the opposing information.

I don't even think we should have an election; just go ahead and insert whoever gets the Republican nomination. That will make everyone happy and America will have it's fully glory reinstated within 2 and a half weeks of inaugaration I figure. I am looking forward to it cause I expect to get a huge pay increase and tax decrease at least by February 2013.

Beaker wrote:President Obama granted plum jobs and appointments to almost 200 people who raised large sums for his presidential campaign, and his top fundraisers have won millions of dollars in federal contracts, according to a new report from the Center for Public Integrity.
In one example detailed by the group's iWatch News, Telecom executive Donald H. Gips "bundled" half a million dollars in contributions to the president for his reelection campaign. ("Bundling" is the practice of gathering together a group of donations, and was popularized because of legal limits in individual contributions. It has been used particularly aggressively by Presidents George W. Bush and Obama.) Gips went on to take charge of hiring in the Obama White House and (was later) named ambassador to South Africa. And his company, Level 3 Communications, was granted millions in stimulus contracts for broadband projects. Gips told iWatch he was "completely unaware" of the federal windfall. The company has taken $13.8 million in stimulus money. The report found that 80 percent of Obama bundlers who raised $500,000 or more for Mr. Obama - many of whom are being asked to do the same for his reelection bid - ended up in "key administration posts," in the words of the White House. More than half of Mr. Obama's ambassador nominees were from this group. One of them, Cynthia Stroum, became U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg; she resigned shortly before the release of a State Department report that deemed her " aggressive, bullying, hostile and intimidating." Mr. Obama's bundlers were also granted White House access - they and their families "account for more than 3,000 White House meetings and visits," according to iWatch. (There were 800 bundler visits to the White House in just the first few months of the administration.) The report also found that " t least 18 other bundlers have ties to businesses poised to profit from government spending to promote clean energy, telecommunications and other key administration priorities."Mr. Obama's decision to reward his donors follows the pattern of his presidential predecessors. But it flies in the face of his campaign promise to reduce the clout of moneyed special interests. The report shows how his bundlers ended up working in the Department of Justice, Department of Energy and the Federal Communications Commission, among other federal agencies, and been appointed to policy advisory commissions. Moneyed interests "get the access while you get to write a letter, they think they own this government," Mr. Obama said in kicking off his presidential campaign in 2007. "But we're here today to take it back." a politician saying one thing and doing another is news?
