EWeston: He has his rats to keep him warm
Cease: we just had the 3 amigos summit here in canada. obama was extraordinarily eloquent when he addressed parliament yesterday
EWeston: One of many things that sent our internet trolls in the hysterics. Four more years!
Beet: How to sound extraordinarily eloquent while saying nothing.
llanwydd: I've neverknown obama to be all that eloquent anywhere
Nabby: great source
llanwydd: I'm not ashamed to say I voted for him but I don't have much respect for him now
''Bob'': Like the good book says, Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.
Beet: It is very discouraging when someone that had so much hope vested in him seems not much better than G W.
EWeston: His approval rating is only around 57%. He could do better I guess.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski: One of FST funniest commercials! IMO, that is….
llanwydd: well, obama is a bit more intelligent than GW but that doesn't say much for him
''Bob'': 50%, or less, not 57%

NancyKat: When When win Win?
Nabby: These are the great questions JAM
pinholeF200: there their they're
''Bob'': Frankly, I'm amazed it's even that high. I guess Trump and Clinton make him look good.
EWeston: Rausmussen predicted a Romney victory. Its always to the right. Tell you what rather than disagree with no support check out media matters for America for a week
Nabby: Catherwood give everyone Mr. Foster popsicles
||||||||| Catherwood brings everyone mr foster popsicles.

DJTweeny: always sounds fresh to me
''Bob'': Hasn't been as high as 57% since 2009
EWeston: Sorry last time I linked I disappeared.
Nabby: I'm higher than that right now Bob
''Bob'': Right-click the link...
''Bob'': Open in new tab.
DJTweeny me is not a fan of Mr. Obama
Nabby: Click here now
EWeston: Yes I know how to do it, but I never make it back.
Cease: He is immensely popular in Canada.
Johan Amadeus Myjetski: A virus, Nabby?
''Bob'': He's big in Japan and a genius in France
Nabby: No just the fiddlers
''Bob'': Not so popular in the UK lately, though. ;)
llanwydd: like I say, I'm not ashamed I voted for obama but that was because he wasn't mccain
