anyone else tired of people blaming Obama?

[QUOTE="thepwninator"] I'm upset that the stimulus bill happened at all :Pawesomeray

uhm, I live in Georgia, I didn't even know Obama had supporters...I just assumed I was the only one who wanted to give him a chance...

but in all seriousness, republicans are just trying to strangle his administration in the grave, it's what they do, though the timing is pretty bad...

I can't wait to see Obama pass (by signing) that spending bill with the 9000+ earmarks in it -- it would be nice ownage in the face of Obama supporters who praised him on his "avid" and "bold" stance on earmarks. :)

Get used to it. Lots of vocal people are bitter that he won so convincingly.

I think the only reason they do blame Obama is because they are sore losers and basically don't agree with the rest of the population.Treflis

I didn't think the stimulus was well-constructed at all, but I must say the ideological opposition to it is getting a bit tiresome. I prefer to look at the issue more pragmatically.

Some are sore losers, some are not.

I think it has been clearly established that it was Clinton's fault and the rest of the Democrats too.

Yeah, it's a well-known fact that everything good that happens to America is the result of Republicans and everything bad is the result of Democrats. I mean, sheesh... how narrow-minded can people be? See, it works like this. If things are crappy during a Republican governing period, it's because of the Democrats who were in before. It doesn't even matter if it's a decade after the Democrats were in power - it's still their fault. And whenever anything goes well during a Democrat governing period, it's always because of the tax cuts instituted by the Republicans, even if those tax cuts had already been in effect for a decade and done nothing.

People are just so ignorant. If they were smart, they'd see that Republicans are the best at everything. Always. And they never make mistakes, because they're just cool like that. If they do make mistakes, they're not Republican. They suddenly become Democrat-minded.

you are so paranoid about spending. if the US can justify its massive spending on an unnecessary war in Iraq. then why can't they justify spending money on infrastructure and its own people! I mean they also gave trillion+ for companies. so why not spend money on the rest of the people as well?Great_Ragnarok

I blame the public.

His policies are 'wrong' if you're a conservative. Time will tell if breaking from the status quo will prove beneficial or not. As of now, conservative doom and gloom talk is unwarranted, because the effects of Obama's policies will not start to come to light for some time.

As for the election, he won the Electoral College convincingly, which is how a president is elected. 365 to 173 if I recall. And roughly 6% more of the popular vote than McCain. Convincing enough.

Just as long as you know that many democrats actually feel the opposite....blackngold29

Oh, of course. You get it on both sides of the coin. The fellow I was responding too was doing the Clinton blame game, which is why I responded as I did.

Just because he didn't win as big as Reagan doesn't mean that the win wasn't convincing.

53% is may not be record breaking, but it is definitely convincing. This was not like 2000 or 2004. 2008's popular vote differential wasn't gigantic, but it wasn't close either. Electorally, it was a landslide. Obama doubled McCain's electoral count.

Also, your claim about the states that mattered is disingenuous due to the fact that alot of the close states were states Obama should have never been allowed to win in i.e. Indiana, North Carolina, etc.

Whether you like it or not, that is a convincing win. I know you guys don't like to admit that Obama won big enough to have a mandate, but he definitely did.
