    Cool quote I am sure whoever gets the rep nomination will use something similar, but do you really think any of them really(reps or Obama) have a Main street first mentality?

    Most politicians are all about the money. If they say otherwise then they will stop the practice of insider trading that goes on in DC. These crooks get news firsthand and are allowed to place their bets on the market before others get a chance to jump in.

    Just imagine that if you know about a new drug that the FDA is going to be approved and you are able to purchase stocks or stock options on a the pharmaceutical before the announcement; look at how much money you have to gain. Lets not forget the money stored away in the war chaest for reelection. If you are forced out of office or decide to retire you get to keep any moneys left available.

      Exactly. Why else do these people spend their own fortune to get into office? They aren't spending millions because they want to better the country for the common man. They want to fatten their wallet and make more than they put into it. They must make a killing to gamble such a high amount of money on election campaigns. Granted it's not all their own money but generally a large portion is.

          Nope he's black-ish he will win. Why? South park said it best "because in this day and age black people are somehow incapable of doing anything wrong." Plus the tv god wants him to win and if tv wants something from America you had best believe tv gets it.

          Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                You really think the only thing his skin color did was get him more votes? Only because of that he won? Really?

                  If Obama is single handidly responsible for everything that happens during his presidency, cuz u know that's how it works..., does that mean he is also responsible for the good stuff?

                    Cartman is the villian, true, but he's also the mouthpiece for things they really want to say. Trey parker said that originally he was supposed to be stan, and stone Kyle, but it turns out they're really both cartman.

                    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                          Voters Believe America is Worse Off Than When Obama Took Office

                          rr-nov-release-chart3-1.jpg

                          1)If President Obama's reelection campaign is a referendum on the incumbent, as are almost all reelection campaigns, then he remains in deep trouble a year out from the election, because Americans believe the country is worse off than when he was inaugurated.

                          When evaluating the condition of the country, today a majority of American voters:

                          â—¦Thinks the country is on the wrong track (70 percent), the highest wrong track number Resurgent Republic has recorded since our first survey in April 2009.

                          â—¦Thinks the federal government's financial situation is worse (67 percent) than when Obama took office;

                          â—¦Thinks the American economy is worse (61 percent);

                          â—¦Thinks the federal government's ability to solve problems is worse (60 percent);

                          â—¦Thinks America's standing in the world is worse (50 percent).

                          The only measure on which Americans believe the country is better off is safety from terrorists, where 39 percent say we are better, 38 percent the same, and 20 percent worse.

                          2) 2.Because Americans believe the country has declined on Obama's watch, his reelection numbers are stuck in the low 40s.

                          ◦Only 42 percent of American voters think Obama deserves reelection, while a majority – 51 percent – thinks it is time for someone else. Those numbers are essentially unchanged from our August survey, which shows 42 percent deserves reelection/52 percent time for someone else.

                          â—¦Only one-third of Independent voters say Obama deserves reelection: 33 percent deserves reelection/54 percent time for someone else.

                          â—¦When pitted against a generic Republican candidate, Obama stands at 42 percent versus 43 percent for the Republican, essentially unchanged from our 43/43 finding in August, and weaker than our 43/40 finding last January. Past elections show that undecided voters are very unlikely to break in favor of the incumbent.

                          ◦Independent voters prefer the Republican candidate over Obama by a double-digit margin – 43 to 32 percent.

                            Look people want to prove they're not racist. So yeah there were lots of people that voted for him because he's black.

                                Now Steve, let's not even act like what Eric Cartman says on SP is even comparable in validity to a segment on the Daily Show that references real people, real quotes, and real video clips.

                                        It amazes me how all the liberals quote the "Daily Show" as fact. it's quite amusing.

                                        "You planning on having a long relationship with that glass or are you going to drink it? Drink up, man. Maybe we can get another.” - Janis Joplin, 1970.

                                          They aren't quoting the Daily Show as fact. They want you to watch the Daily Show segment and see if you get the satire. Or at the very least just try to understand whats going on.

                                          The show doesn't make up quotes or facts about politicians.

                                          I mean, they show you how Fox News blatantly lies at some point in its program. The Daily Show isn't making anything up, its just making fun of Fox News.

                                          A politician, Dem or Rep, does something stupid, they'll make fun of it.

                                          It is pretty sad when you think that a lot of people find what is put on the Daily Show and the Colbert Report as more factual than what is put on Fox News. Not sad about that people, sad about the news network.
