Looking at Bush's approval ratings for his first year reveals that he was down to 51% after only 8 months. Taking 12 months to get there is an improvement.
Cinderella story. Outta nowhere...
- Thread starter Gertch
- Start date
Then Bush had 9/11 which will make direct comparison of the two presidencies for the second and third year pretty difficult.

Well the American people have spoken clearly. We want health care reform but not the dismantling of our current system. The people of Massachusetts have done us all a great favor.
Obama is tied to the bill that was killed off. If he doesn't want his presidency to meet the same fate he needs to move to the center. I, for one, will be waiting.
The question is, is he more tied to his left-wing ideology or will he pragmatic?

He's not very left wing. He's liberal, and there is a difference.

I would agree that there is a difference. But I would disagree that he's not left-wing. Either way, he needs to move significantly to the center if he wants to gain back many of the people who voted for him.
No. The people of a state that has universal health care and love it spoke clearly.

And round and round we go. This topic, not unlike universal health care, is dead. What's next, cap & trade?
The idea that Obama is left wing is hilarious. He's downright conservative at times.

Squiggy has the numbers. If this is going "round and round", it's not because of him.

You don't think UHC is dead in it's current form? Cmon.

I knew what you meant. I'm just trying to make you answer a more important question. I'll try again.
Do you think UHC is still on, ahem, life support? Or is it dead until at least after the mid-terms?

Yeah, cause Lord knows that the Dems can't get their own people's names right.

She's not the enemy. Larry King draws more viewers than she does. She's there so the network can play to its base. Otherwise they'd get someone in there who doesn't get pummeled by a 3+ to 1 margin on a nightly basis.
Still nothing to do with the original question and answer. But not enough to lose your cool again.
The mandatory health care system started by a Republican? Costs are going up yet again and people are sick of it. No, we don't love it and our Cadillac of governors says he's gonna have to ration services as I said in the UHC thread (with links).
But don't worry, it looks like Reid, Pelosi (she vants to suck your vallet) and the hack Obama are going to go even more underhanded and pass a health care bill even though the majority don't want any part of it.

Odd, but I'm pretty sure I read only recently that the people of Massachusetts are quite happy with the state's UHC.
