The Augusta Chronicle
An anonymous "ranter" complained this week that this page's handlers "must have graduated from the college of negativity" for all our criticisms of Barack Obama.
Blame The Chronicle all you like. But if anyone thinks this page is alone, or even off base, in its urgent criticism of this president's misbegotten policies, they're just not tuned in to reality.

By the way, hows that war that he was going to end going??
So my question to you is this..... what does race, political parties and fox news have to do with anything? There not in control, but.... If you listen to the polls, America doesnt want what he is feeding so why are we being forced to eat his change?
It will take a very long time ,if ever ,to rebuild our country after he is through destroying it.
So if you voted for this president because he is black,and I am probably right when I say you didn't vote at all,then you, my friend,are the racist,
Obama will be a one termer but the damage he will put on the country will take decades to recover from, if ever.
But don’t put all the blame on Obama. He can only do what congress allows him to do. Obama is working his thoughts. Congress allows it. That is the place where cleaning needs to start. We need people in congress that will work for the people that elect them. We don’t need people that swear an allegiance to a political party. Start this year and replace them all. While it will be true that some good ones will be replaced with all the bad, that will be our burden to bear for real change. Those good ones allow unethical practices by bad ones. They allow bribes to take place when they have the power and ability to bring charges. Replace them all.
Sometimes – you just have to start over.
And HG fix this damn SPAM thing!
Bush was pretty much despised by many at last election, and people were so caught up in doing something "new and different" that he was elected. I don't see the same outporing of support coming to his aid for re-election.
Fact is, he has NOT picked up any additional support since being president, but has lost a lot. ...You really think he will be re-elected? ...Riiiight.
We have things we want to change from the local level all the way up to the national level.
Make your voices heard.
Sure this is a great place to moan and complain, but you need to vote. As it is now, the polls are where we make ourselves heard.
And that war we've involved our young men and women in? They believe they're over there making a difference for US, to keep terrorism at bay and keep it from our shores. Make sure you honor them my exercising your right to vote.
Although Obama is a disgrace to the United States and a completely unqualified Commander in Chief, it was still the American people that put him in office. Therefore the destruction started with the people. Of course they elected congress too. Unfortunately, the people cannot discover their mistake and remove a person from office because they mostly don’t want to come together and unite to do it. And those in Congress won’t do it. They have lost the ability to listen to the people.
It is my personal opinion that we are witnessing the American people permitted attempt of overthrowing our current form of a republic and replacing it with a socialist government. I have no doubt that Obama is a socialist intent on the destruction of our current form of government. Because the people will not unite to stop it, our only recourse is to wait until election time. This year is the only year we have as a free people to send a message. We can replace the House. The problem is not with being a republican or a democrat. The problem is finding people to serve in office that will sacrifice everything to uphold the ideals set down by our founding fathers. They are out there.
The preservation of this great nation and its ideals are more important than those people seeking office for their own gain and change. Remember this, Benjamin Franklin said, “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.” Later on in history James Monroe said, “It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty.”
I don’t know if the people have become ignorant and degenerated into a populace but, we don’t exercise common sense at election time when we allow corruption to remain in power threatening our sovereignty.

Can't you come up with something original?
Pot..meet kettle.
As for Obama. An idiot can see the damage he has done in less than one year. If you want to kiss his butt, you go ahead. You know your IQ factor and what category you want to be in. Many of us know the man is dangerous and needs to go as soon as possible. We won't kiss his butt like you.

If you are capable of reading a graph then take a look at this link for Presidential approval ratings since 1945. What we are seeing now is no different than ANY previous Presidency.
Gloat if you want.. LOL.
The new has worn off, and there he sits, useless and ridiculous, running around like an idiot trying to make a scene. Ridiculous.
Definately a one termer like carter.
The sentence "Obama is ruining the country." is a matter of opinion.
The sentence "Bush ruined the country." can be proven as fact :)
"trying to cram stuff down our throats"
You'll see next election.
Geez it's funny what you chose to defend in your thoughts. All the government freebies! I rest my case. Oh; and don’t worry, lots of other people see it too.
Let me suggest you spend some of your free time and work with cake buddy on his/her communication skills. Let’s not forget that Rush, Beck, and FOX enjoys a good joke like anyone else. Pass the peas please!
Bring it on just your thoughts. I love to argue with an inferior brain. LOL
Research an article in the Wall Street Journal, Obama's Health Rationer-in-Chief, by Betsy McCaughey, and check out "The Reaper Curve". It is a chart that illustrates what Obamacare thinks the ages on which health care spending should be focused. Be prepared to start declining health care starting at about age 55.
I don't know how old you are but you might get a wake up call. That is unless you want to continue to trust what Washington is telling you, to sell a bill of goods at any cost.
This is not a bill for the people - it's a bill for a show of power.
I also question if I’m going to come under fire for my comment because liberals - don’t, - won’t, - can’t – or - ‘ain’t going to ever be at rest with the facts.
I am very familiar with the “Reaper Curve”. I’ve discussed it with three doctors and one oral surgeon. Why; because I’m at the age where it matters most. I’ve had lengthy conversations about this healthcare reform and I am absolutely convinced that this is a threat to the United States of America. Fear plays no part. Facts are the key. I question if you have studied the ever changing bill? If so, I would question if you could comprehend it. Of course, I don’t think anyone comprehends the thing, not even those who wrote it. The bill has been passed along and beaten up so bad, added to and taken away from that its only useful purpose now would be fire-starter. Only an irresponsible Congress would send it to the president, and only an equally irresponsible president would actually sign it.
They need to start over and get it right rather than do attempt to show their arrogance on the matter. If you have children or grandchildren you should be very concerned about it. In fact you should be very concerned about what Washington is doing all together. The House will certainly discover this in November.
Or you can do what all liberals do. Deny facts and blame Bush. Now, that is something you people have ownership rights to.
I'm a diabetic.
And Batman don't have an Obama bumper sticker on the Batmobile. You must be thinking of Blackman in the Pimpmobile.
Need som rims for yo ride go to rim tyme!
I mean if we can't continue to screw ourselves out of a future by perpetuating our broken system with lies and hate, what can we do?
The system is not fixable because money runs the system, not planning or common sense. Money is shifting into fewer and fewer hands, with most of those hands overseas. By keeping us arguing about things that don't really matter, and convincing us about things that are not even true, the system maintains itself on that same collision course. We stoke the boilers with hate for each other, while our passenger cabins are being robbed by the entire crew.
People also feel better about his handling of the economy and his proposed health care overhaul.
Sorry Republicans, conservatives, tea partiers. I know how you hate to see President Obama do well, but you'll suffer a little longer, or move to Alaska--perhaps you can see Russia from Sarah Palins home...lol, couldn't resist.
