  If any of you would just do a little research about the ' BOYMAN OBAMA " YOU WOULD SEE I'M RIGHT. And thanks to the Democrats and the Republicans this is how this country got this way but the Democrat have had both house since 2006 and Obama and Bush voter for the Tarp but Obama and his sheep men voted for the $800Billion spend and pork bill that made no JOBS. Obama is no pearl he walks all over the Constitution lies out of both sides of his mouth and by the way the race card is a joke Ireland can have him but you would fill the same after he destroy your country. Obama the man boy with very thin skin he can't handle not being liked poor thing and do any of you know the meaning of the words Soicalist or Communist look it up and you will see our Goverment ( the Democrats )at work.

  Obama is an incompetent joke.

• olovely | Jul 12, 2010, 02:21 PM EDT

  It's sad to see how far the GOP has fallen into the hole of its own making. Now it's just a party of extremists.

• McNamara31 | Jul 09, 2010, 07:54 PM EDT

  TexasGal....Everyone who disagrees with your "Limbaugh" rhetoric is either a socialist or a communist...so low and pathetic! Two years, of Boy Man Obama as you "so very crudley call him"....Get ready for six.

• seanomelbourne | Jul 04, 2010, 10:34 PM EDT

  Texasgal! a typical southern neo-fascist muckraker who couldn't see the forest for the trees. History will prove how Obama saved your southern bacon and hauled the U.S. out of the depths of depression, gifted to him by the good old boys in the GOP.

• TexasGal | Jul 03, 2010, 09:35 PM EDT

  Both Parties spend way to much but Obama and pork-belly Democrats have added 4T in 18 months give me a brake. @ McNamara31 you must be a Communist or a Socialist to go along with all that Obama is doing

• TexasGal | Jul 03, 2010, 09:06 PM EDT

  @ McNamara31- If you would look at some short history its repeating its self with the Democrat again. Barry Frank and Chris Dodd ( D ) Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac was a large part of the financial melts down and did the Democrats learn anything NO the Democrat in the house and the senate give then an open ATM CARD under Boy Man Obama the Socialist pig and it BUSH, BUSH, BUSH the Democrat had both houses and the speaker for two years before Obama. And OMG the America people did vote but they don't vote for the crap that Obama is doing. McNamara31 you must be a Communist or a Socialist to think its OK to nationalize Ins co., Car Co., take over Bank., Health care. He thinks its ok to sign a EO and its law to let Interpol and the UN to come in and police if he calls for Martial Law. Its been 74 days and the oil spill is still spilling and the Gulf coast is being destroy and Obama ties the hands of the Governors and the people to clean it up 13 country want to help clean but its UNIONS WE CAN'T UPSET THE UNIONS they got their fat hands in America's pocket and Obama Kiss their butts. Yea Bush did his part but that was in 8 year Obama added 4T in and Healthcare has not been added all in 18 months and crap the Healthcare taxs boy thats going to bit us in the butt. And we still have 2 years of him I hope and pray that he gets impeached

• McNamara31 | Jul 01, 2010, 09:53 AM EDT

  TexasGal stated "Obama is a socialist pig" "bigmanboy" "ruin the country" FACTs: 53% of Americans voted for Obama, but it is very obvious many of "the rest" will never be ready for his presidency. I know facts don't matter to "you people" as you call us, but here they are; when Obama placed his first step into the White House, the National Debt had already been raised by 72% to "10 Trillion Dollars" by the total, reckless, incompetence of Bush and his deregulating cronies. Two wars put on credit cards, Tax cuts and financial deregulation that took away the safeguard that protected Americans, are the legacy of Bush’s pillage and plunder that broke this economy, and sent a financial tidal wave around the world. Obama’s been under a constant barrage from people who feel it’s better to split this nation with divisive miss information, at a time we need to confront issues that could further destroy us. The likes of Limbaugh, Palin, and Beck, skillfully attack and demean Obama at every turn. They feed FOX News with verbal attacks like “You lie” “death panels” or “Shakedown” so the real substance and issues never make it to public view. And as for “your”, Barton of Texas, he remain a despicable politician who showed the world, that “some” Americans are bought and sold by the Big Oil at the price of the average man. "Impeach" you say...The man who should have been impeached sits in a backyard in Texas.

• TexasGal | Jun 30, 2010, 10:51 PM EDT

  This jug head that wrote this piece of crap has no idea what he is writing about! @ olovely as far as the GOP being in the pocket that maybe true BUT Obama was given 70 or 90 million on his campaign and Rahm Emanuel lived rent free in Washington for 5 years a oil man own the house so its not just the GOP. If you people love Obama and are proud that he has a little Irish blood in him you can have him. If yall want to talk about Barton he did apologize to BP but it was for the shakedown from that big manboy Obama. Obama is a socialist pig I live in the south and Obama lets the environmentalist rule and it is destroying the Gulf coast, the lose of live is unbelievable and Obama is out playing golf and singing with Paul Mc the dumbass. You people need to realize that Obama needed a teleprompter to talk to sixth grader so to all of you that think he is smart will let him ruin you country we have had enough and we will vote him out or impeach him.

• McNamara31 | Jun 28, 2010, 11:17 AM EDT

  Moonsoonman...The word was "destroyed" not wounded.

• Monsoonman | Jun 28, 2010, 09:12 AM EDT

  I think the Czech editorial page hits the nail on the head. It would be refreshing if IC offered this editor a column, I am sure he must have a scintilla of irish DNA somewhere...At least as much as they think obama has....and Mc if Bush & Co. "wounded" the economy over eight years, then obama, frank, shumer, pelosi and reid are shoving in the bayonets.

• McNamara31 | Jun 27, 2010, 09:10 PM EDT

  Olovely...I'm with you! The only area the GOP can master is smearing and demeaning Obama and his office at every turn. They succeeded in destroying the American economy in the previous 8 years, and now they continue to reveal they have "no plan", no vision for the future, just the same old dinosaur rhetoric on how "they want to take their country back", way back to their greedy dark ages.

• McNamara31 | Jun 27, 2010, 08:37 PM EDT

  Since when are Czech newspapers such authorities on presidential substance? I guess they prefer the “two good ole boys” that brought a great country to its financial knees, rather than someone who's been left with the massive mission to rebuild, after their pillage and plunder of the American way of life.

• Monsoonman | Jun 26, 2010, 10:12 PM EDT

  From a Czech editorial page: "The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president."

• Monsoonman | Jun 24, 2010, 10:26 AM EDT

  Why does Fox have so many viewers? It is due to free market forces at work in America, in this case the public likes their product....Next question! Why is the sky blue? Buehler?

• McNamara31 | Jun 23, 2010, 02:22 PM EDT

  Why does Fox have so many viewers? The same reason flies are attracted to you know what. It's more interesting for the "dinosaurs" to watch and listen to, no lie to big, or smears to low. This country needs intelligence and vision, neither will be found on FOX. Cahir's generation, isn't following the dinosaurs back into the dark ages no matter what your polls say.

• Monsoonman | Jun 23, 2010, 10:07 AM EDT

  Yes I like obamas rope a dope strategy, playing golf and partying while the gulf oil spill gushes and iran goes nuclear. Kim Jong Ill is hiding under his bed after torpedoing the south Korean ship and killing all of those sailors, he knows obamas silver hammer will rain down on him for that. Obamas style and tactics sure seem to be impressing the armed forces, they are in awe of him and vice president who...LOL, people are starting to see who is behind the curtain in the land of oz.

• DennisQ | Jun 22, 2010, 06:03 AM EDT

  If Obama's enemies could get away with it, they'd claim that he has a devil. In fact there are variants on this theme - that he's a foreigner, that he's a Muslim, that he's in league with America's enemies. None of this has done much damage, nor is it likely to. Obama has a knack of not being where they pounce, so they end up looking foolish. However, there is another alternative available to them - they might try cooperation for a change. At some point they'll realize that Obama's not the dummy he'd have to be for their strategies to succeed. It's a question of how much ground they'll have yielded by the time they catch on.

• IrishAndProud | Jun 20, 2010, 07:22 PM EDT

  Incidentally, hollabackgirl...Carter's approval ratings were ABOVE Obama's, at this point in his presidency...so again, your point?

• IrishAndProud | Jun 20, 2010, 12:16 AM EDT

  And btw olovely...you undercut your own point by bringing up Barton as you have. If as you say he ends up in a leadership position because the GOP regains control of the House, then obviously the voters WANT the GOP in control of the House, and Barton's role in defending BP obviously isn't anywhere near as much of a concern to them as Obama's flat-out incompetence in this matter -- as the polls I've already showed you below presently indicate, with the people in the Gulf who are facing the worst of this.

• IrishAndProud | Jun 20, 2010, 12:09 AM EDT

  Further, here's a collection of what some prominent folks normally SUPPORTIVE of Obama are saying, about his oil-spill speech, the other night (as noted by columnist Peggy Noonan) "Reaction among his usual supporters was, in the words of Time's Mark Halperin, "fierce, unforeseen disappointment." Dan Froomkin of the Huffington Post called the speech "profoundly underwhelming," a "feeble call to action." Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich called the speech "vapid." Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times said the president looked "awkward and robotic." MSNBC's Keith Olbermann famously said "It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days." Chris Matthews scored "a lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk." Mr. Olbermann, on Mr. Obama's well-written peroration: "It's nice but, again, how? Where was the 'how' in this speech when the nation is crying out for 'how'?" (END QUOTE) When his own left-wing supporters are talking like this about him, it ain't good.

  hollabackgirl wrote: "Obama's poll numbers are high than Bush's (I and II), Clinton's and Regan's at this point in their presidency's. That's reality." *** And, your point? Reagan and Clinton did things that ultimately helped the USA, and their numbers (not to mention re-elections) bounced back right along with them. Obama, by contrast, is governing DIRECTLY AGAINST the will of the people, on virtually every single issue, and militantly so -- with an in-your-face approach. He's doing precisely all the WRONG things to bring about economic recovery (unlike Reagan or Clinton), and so he will not reap the same political results as the others you've mentioned. The Democratic Congress is lucky if they reach even 20% approval, nowadays -- and their leader, Harry Reid, is on the ropes in Nevada. The situation is politically DIRE, for Obama.

• olovely | Jun 18, 2010, 01:41 PM EDT

  Joe Barton would be the next chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee if the Republicans regain control of the House in November elections. He's the man who's apologizing to BP over the biggest environmental disaster the US has ever seen. Nice going, chump. That's the real face of the GOP.

• Monsoonman | Jun 18, 2010, 10:11 AM EDT

  The crux of the matter is perception to the author and his kool aid drinkers. Perception: how flowery and ardent was obama when he read his teleprompter,did he use big words? That's all that matters to them. In the meantime Rome is burning, while he plays 18...but he makes his flock feeeel good, when he "looks" presidential...Don't want them to get jittery and nervous and start a stampede, they could all rush over the cliffs and swim out to the ocean. Then where would obama be with no voter base?

• MalcomAC | Jun 18, 2010, 08:34 AM EDT

  Rob Simmons bailing out of the Connecticut Republican senatorial primary because he was being grossly outspent by a wealthy kook [whose husband made bazillions from promoting professional wrestling] is as solid of evidence as there is that a crazy right faction is hijacking the party - to the benefit of Democrats. It's the final nail in the death of 'Rockefeller' Republicans. Simmons is a good man and would have made a strong candidate. Oh well. The Republican Party continues to do all it can to advance Democrats.

• hollabackgurl | Jun 18, 2010, 07:46 AM EDT

  Joe Barton, the top Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, apologized to BP after biggest ecological disaster in the history of America (and the world). There's your headline. Barton has taken more than $1.4 million in political contributions from the oil industry, so there is little doubt whose side he is on. Joe Barton would be the next chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee if the Republicans regain control of the House in November elections. That is the committee that writes any legislation governing Thank you, Mr. Barton. Keep talking.

• hollabackgurl | Jun 18, 2010, 07:42 AM EDT

  Obama's poll numbers are high than Bush's (I and II), Clinton's and Regan's at this point in their presidency's. That's reality.

• IrishAndProud | Jun 18, 2010, 05:28 AM EDT

  So...in light of all this, I must ask, exactly what tv do YOU watch, olovely? MSNBC? CNN, perhaps? ABC? Exactly how are any of those networks (which have far fewer viewers than Fox, btw) any less liberal than Fox is conservative? You cannot pretend that only Fox is 'biased' while of course the networks YOU watch are 'just normal' and 'just the way things are.' That doesn't work.

• IrishAndProud | Jun 18, 2010, 05:23 AM EDT

  Gallup, too: "With five months to go before the general election, a new poll finds that Republicans have opened their widest lead yet when it comes to which party voters prefer this fall. Gallup's generic congressional ballot finds that the number of voters who say they will vote GOP has jumped to 49 percent, compared with 43 percent for Democrats. That's not only the biggest lead Gallup has recorded for the GOP this election cycle, it's the largest lead Republicans have ever had in the poll, which Gallup has run since 1950." Mind you, this poll was taken well after the events in the Gulf of Mexico were running their political course. If this is somehow hurting the GOP, I sure don't see where.

• IrishAndProud | Jun 18, 2010, 05:17 AM EDT

  Here, for instance, is Public Policy Polling: "Our new Louisiana poll has a lot of data points to show how unhappy voters in the state are with Barack Obama's handling of the oil spill but one perhaps sums it up better than anything else- a majority of voters there think George W. Bush did a better job with Katrina than Obama's done dealing with the spill. 50% of voters in the state, even including 31% of Democrats, give Bush higher marks on that question compared to 35% who pick Obama. Overall only 32% of Louisianans approve of how Obama has handled the spill to 62% who disapprove. 34% of those polled say they approved of how Bush dealt with Katrina to 58% who disapproved."

• IrishAndProud | Jun 18, 2010, 05:09 AM EDT

  olovely, Gulf residents think lower of Obama's so-called response to this mess than they did of Bush's response to Katrina -- just read ANY poll on this matter. I just may indeed 'revise' my electoral estimates...further in the GOP's favor. If you somehow think that this whole thing is somehow helping Obama and sinking the GOP, you're just as delusional as Obama himself...and sir/madam, that is delusional.

• olovely | Jun 17, 2010, 11:49 PM EDT

  You need to turn on your TV. The Republican Party are apologizing to BP on every network except Fox News. That's going to play well in the Gulf. I'd revise your electoral estimates. Everyone knows the GOP is in Big Oils pocket.

• IrishAndProud | Jun 17, 2010, 10:54 PM EDT

  As usual, CahirO (in his little fantasyland, left-wing bubble world) hasn't the foggiest idea just how bad it's become for Obama and the Democrats -- who are in serious danger of losing both houses of Congress this November (and many would think I'm putting that mildly). Either that, or Cahir actually DOES know the real deal -- but is in denial of it. It's one or the other. Obama hasn't 'outfoxed' anyone. He's going down -- bit, by bit, by bit. He has no majority support on even a single major issue, anymore, anywhere.

• hancock | Jun 17, 2010, 10:47 PM EDT

  Are you serious?
