So, his approval ratings are down around 55%, his health care bill is clearly not going to pass, and a slight majority of Americans now think the bailout was a disaster. When combined with an economy that wil suck for years to come, which will only drag down his approval ratings...

Has he become a lameduck six months in?

If that is true it just shows that with the ridiculous media cycle and short attention span of the public this country is rapidly becoming almost ungovernable.

:yes: I've been saying for quite some time that the Republic will fall shortly, probably within a generation or two. :)

I don't think that's fair. I just think he's been caught with his pants down time and time again, and seems t have trouble actually planning getting legislation past.

He is president because of the media boost.  He may have made for a good president in another 10 years. 
PDH!

Yes, it's over. He's also not a natural born citizen. All hail President Biden.  :mellow:

Biden would be a better President.  WAY more experience, and also he's much funnier (though usually not intentionally). :)

I agree, and this one is at the end of its rope.  :cool:

The Dem's should have lost this election.

I agree he's old. I don't agree he's way more experienced.

Let's look at one of Biden's pet theories in hindsight. Would Iraq be a better place today if it were partitioned into three regions?

Don't sell healthcare too short. I don't see how democrats will be able to look voters in the eye if nothing passes.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Instead, they reelected Carter, and now have ensured that the Republicans will win the next few elections.
