President Obama at Notre Dame

President Obama gave his speech at Notre Dame today, and it was Fantastic. Thunderous applause and rapt attention throughout the address. More and more, Obama is looking like one of the Greatest presidents in US history -- the exact opposite of that dunce Bush who screwed up this country in so many different ways during his tenure.

The republicans will have the last laugh when the democrats realize that Obama just wasted all our money and put us all into more debt. Unemployment is still rising and the states are running bigger and bigger deficits. Social security is going to bankrupt 4 years soon than before. Wow Obama is doing just great. Yeah right!

Have you noticed that Texas is doing pretty good. They recently cut taxes! Why is California going to raise taxes? Do they want to run the last of the wealthy and buisnesses out of their state? Texas sure would welcome them!

President Obamas job rating is about 58% positive.

Take a look at table 2 on this website. It would seem that the African American community is less concerned in how he is doing, compared to the fact that he is black. Do you have any other ideas on why his approval amoung blacks would be so high, but much lower with everyone else?

I'm sure the black community is very proud that America finally has its first black president, and it's natural that this pride is reflected in a sky-high approval rating among black voters -- to see one of their own holding the highest office in the land.

The rest of America is proud that we now have a Great president in the White House, which is why Obama's approval rating remains so high among everybody else.

How high? Well, just compare Obama's approval rating today against Bush's when Dubya left office. What was that difference? Night and Day?

Or you can compare Obama's rating to Bush's rating when he took office. Its pretty close.
