The Fox Nation asks: "Are We Watching a Failed Presidency?"

hey at least he made it through 8 months of his presidnecy without allowing the largest terrorist attack in our history! Bush presidency=EPIC FAIL!

The worst thing that could happen to this country would be for Republicans to win in 2010. They would be rewarded for their outrageous behavior over the last year, and the ensuing gridlock in Washington would guarantee a prolonged economic malaise. This presidency is not failing, but it could, if the voters don't recognize the disaster that was (and could again be) Republican control (and obstruction) of national policy.

It is worth noting the distinct differences between the current political landscape, and that of 1993. First of all, the Republican party polls about 20 points lower than it did at this time in 1993. In that way, this season more closely resembles the midterms of 1934 than 1994. Also, in 1992, Clinton drew about 42% of a smaller, whiter electorate. Obama drew a solid majority of a larger, more diverse electorate. His political strength is much deeper than Clinton's. Also, there was a wave of Democratic retirements in 1994. That is not the case today.

The Democrats will probably lose some of their new conservative members in the House. They may gain some progressives through primary challenges though. The Republicans will pick up seats in the House, but I doubt they can recover as fully as they did in 1994. The scenario is just not as favorable to them as it was then.

And Obama is a cinch in 2012, save for an extraordinary external event that none of us wants to imagine. The Republicans don't have a candidate who can compete with him. Period.

HOOSIER, FOX'S qoestions are never fair. they are always tilted to the CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN point of view.

His approval ratings are declining because people have unrealistic expectations of him. Democrats expect that he should be moving faster and not trying so hard to gain support from the Republicans and the Republicans hate him simply because he's Obama. If he came out and said he was switching parties, they would still hate him.

I realize that Dubya had a terrorist attack and a war under his belt by this point in his presidency, but I really think that people need to lay off Obama until he's had some more opportunity. It's not like he has a magic wand that can fix everything.

"Fox asks a fair question"

But they didn't ask that fair question four years ago. So strange.

And of course the question isn't fair now because when you inherit a broken country, you get free mulligans for life. Anyone who doesn't like that rule should avoid breaking the country when they have power.

The reason you get free mulligans for life is because it's a two party system, and you should never, ever, restore powers to the boobs who broke everything to begin with. No matter what.

(And of course all of Obama's failures are for being insufficiently liberal.)

Fox asks a fair question

It's a leading question that Fox Nation has obviously already answered for itself, as have the fans of Fox Nation. It's what they want to see. They "want him to fail". "Are we watching a very successful Presidency?" would be just as leading a question, but, off course, you'd never see anything like that on Fox Nation.

Fox asks a fair question- one that every responsible news organization should be asking as well.

"Spider-Obama - Threat or Menace?"

If the Republicans are dumb enough to run Palin against him, he'll win in a walk even if things are going badly.

Hi epk, I go to the comments sections at the left wing sites, and it is pretty impressive. So many of the comments are just one-line slogans about fake job creations or imagined effects of the failed bailout disasters. A lot of them just seem to be random words scattered around one trigger slogan word like "Yes we can" or "Yes we did".

Yes, this is what I have seen, but I was trying to be nice. These are real people and many of them are frightened, genuinely frightened, and they are venting their fears and anger. I was sitting in my cubical the other day, and this older woman in my office was going off about how great Ron Paul's ideas are about building a fence around the country and cutting all outside ties. She was also expounding the virtues of Glenn Beck and "Arguing With Idiots" which she bought to "tick off someone at the checkout counter." She has also recently said that she thinks Obama is the anti-Christ and that she prays every night that the U.S. will not end. Several of my colleagues agree when she spouts this stuff. I, on the other hand, really have to bite my tongue because I am a liberal and any attempt to challenge these ideas has been met with anger and reminders that government employees are not allowed to discuss politics.
