    WSJ reports Obama voters' "buyers remorse"

    interesting...albiet from a typically conservative media source.

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123690358175013837.html
    "Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser; in fees, expenses and waste of time." -- Abraham Lincoln, (1809-1865) Lawyer and President who saved the United States.

    "Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes

    Re: WSJ reports Obama voters' "buyers remorse"

    Somewhat puzzling considering Obama has an approval rating roughly equivalent to Reagan's at the same point.

    I agree Froze.

    Funny that the market is recovering a little and some folks decide to spread a "Rumor?" that people are becoming remorse?

    If the market continues to get better and people's portfolios begin to grow again...even a little...I think he'll get even more slack time from Citizens.

    Of course anything is possible...there's tons of unknowns right now.

    It's just a matter of the WSJ and Scott Rasmussen gaming their own poll results.

    I mean, really. Reporting that "Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama's net presidential approval rating -- which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve -- is just six, his lowest rating to date" implies that a president with 3% who strongly approve, 92% who approve, and 5% who strongly disapprove is an unpopular president.

    Re: WSJ reports Obama voters' "buyers remorse"

    i listen to the BBC radio at night and, as a 3rd party service, you don't hear any of the Obama is the socialist devil stuff there you hear on predominantly right wing/Obama is trashing the constitution and perverting what makes America, America chicken little AM radio stuff.

    you can say what you want about the BBC, but it's hardly Pravda.

    this is just a footnote to the countless "Obama can't win, and here's why" posts from Homey over the last 18 months. Sarah Palin has energized the "base"...post in 3,2,1.....

    I recall Reagan wasn't really all that popular until after he was shot. He gained admiration in how he responded to the situation. It was a magic bullet that coated him with teflon.

    Re: WSJ reports Obama voters' "buyers remorse"

    Meh, it's not like there's a returns desk for voters with buyer's remorse. Should have kept your receipt and not let the 30-day return period pass... or whatever.

    I think people's own situations during the next four years will determine whether or not they think highly of Obama. If they've got a job, their 401K doesn't turn into a 101k, they have their home still and aren't swimming in debt and facing foreclosure or bankrupcy, then yeah, they'll probably not hate Obama too.

    I think you're mistaken on that, but since I was 6 during Reagan's first 90 days, I'll take your word for it.

    Yeah, that is some huge recovery the market is making. Please.

    So where did ST use the word "huge" in his post? He didn't inflate anything, but you sure did.

    No remorse here.

    We were totally screwed to begin with and President Obama is at least articulating the right noise.

    Just think-we could have Phil "You're all a bunch of whiners, the economy's fine" Gramm in charge of Treasury now.

    Were you not aware that UBS (vice-chair: Phil Gramm) just got hit with a $780 million fine for helping people commit tax fraud and evasion?

    I believe most politicians are crooks. Why isn't Gramm behind bars? Why isn't Giethner? It's amazing the crap that gets pulled in DC every day that common people rot in prison for.
