Obama’s Popularity

So, for all those here in the U.S., is this good news? Does this ingratiate Obama with them? Or is this just something else to criticize the President about?
First he was too cozy with the Arabs, then he was a Muslim, now he's a jerk because he's losing popularity with the Arabs.

Thanks for letting me know he's unpopular in the middle east. They are integral voters after all.
Yawn.
Yawn.
Well, we could talk about all he did to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Yeah but at least he's still popular in the hood. I wonder why that could be?
Yeah but at least most of those people paid for that portable house and the bills that come with it each month with money they worked to receive.

IMO, that's just another wishful fantasy. Odd that most of the gals who live in rented $5000 trailers with their 3 kids (by 3 different guys) couldn't pay the full rent off their minimum wage jobs if they had to. A person who lives in an aluminum house (with wheels on it) in a rural area is in the same economic circumstance as someone who lives in a concrete box in the inner city. If not, they wouldn't be living in a trailer park (or subsidized urban housing) in the first place, would they? :dunno: Would you voluntarily live in a trailer park? I wouldn't. In fact, where I used to live, I supported the county ordinance to restrict/eliminate trailer parks that weren't put into service by a certain date. And if it went out of service for some extended period of time, it was not allowed to be put back into service. Typically they are a blight and negatively affect property values. I wish I could do the same thing where I live now, but they're too ingrained in this county.
I'm not trying to be a dickhead, but let's be honest here. Yeah, some trailer parks are nicer than others, just like some subsidized housing units are nicer than others. But I've looked at a LOT of trailer park properties over the years when they've gone up for sale. And the main draw (though I've never invested in one) is the fact that if the landlord is providing the trailer unit and it meets minimum standards, it qualifies for Section 8. And that means a guaranteed gubment check for the rent, come hell or high water - you always get that monthly check. Go through the books on many of them and the sources of tenant income/method of payment that the current owner will have on file will include: Disability, Section 8, Medicaid, SSI, food stamps, WIC, etc.
Like I said, I'm not a fan of either party. But I'm not bad when it comes to cipherin' numbers and such (if I take my shoes off, I'm twice as good). And I know the math is not with people who make minimum wage and rely on the social safety net, yet cast their votes for candidates who are in favor of eliminating the minimum wage, Medicaid, extended unemployment benefits, WIC, Section 8, etc.
If Obama pushes to kill the Bush tax cuts, it'll hurt me a little here or there. But a pick up in economic activity, and any resulting rise in the job market, the stock market or asset values would/should offset that. If they'd simplify the tax code, that would truly help anyone involved in any business. But now, if the GOP is successful in killing off those various programs I mentioned, it wouldn't affect me one little bit. But let's see how those "hard working folks" in our hypothetical trailer park would be affected.
Just like a lot of inner city people, I'm sure many of them do work damn hard for whatever they have. Unlike some on this board, I don't believe you can judge whether a man/woman is good or bad based solely on their level of income or assets. But I promise you that neither Romney nor Bachmann has given their plight even a passing thought. Obama might not do much for them either. But if I was in their position, I believe I'd go with the one who was MAYBE going to help me, rather than the one who was DEFINITELY going to hurt me. But I'm weird like that, so maybe that's just me.Though somewhat sad and pitiful, I find it amusing to watch chickens carrying banners in support of Colonel Sanders - like those TEA Party people who were getting SSI, Medicaid, welfare, food stamps, discounted school lunches, etc. Generally speaking, those delusional chicken-people tend not to come to their senses until they hear the pop of the grease in the deep fryer. :eek:
What was that again?
he must've done something that was important.... has he done much of anything? I still have yet to see that lengthy health care bill go through...
Wait... He did take credit for killing Bin Laden.
