Obama Was Supposed To Be the Kenyan FDR, But Now He's Herbert Hoover?
Of all the "this president is likethatpresident" games, the one that Barack Obama's supporters were very unlikely to come up with was, "Barack Obama is the Black Herbert Hoover." But, according to this chart showing Barry's approval ratings for his work destroying the economy by destroying the government's ability to pull the country out of recession/depression and instead focus all his efforts on coddling billionaires and flattering teabaggers who hate him anyway, Obama is the new Hoover!
People forget that Hoover was Commerce Secretary for the 8 years before becoming president, so this idea that he got blamed for a depression he only inherited is a myth.
Barry is the exact type of politician that Gray Davis of California was. Totally ignored his base, couldn&#039;t roll over fast enough for the other side and corporate interests. He won re-election by default. Nobody really voted <i>for him</i> as much as they voted <i>against</i> the other guy.
Then when the recall hit the fan, he didn&#039;t have a friend in the world. No one had his back and no one gave a rat&#039;s patoot if he won or lost.
These guys aren&#039;t really &quot;Democrats&quot;. They&#039;re just &quot;Not Totally Batshit Crazy Republican&quot;.
