- johnnick, on 10/20/2009, -3/+131Newsweek from Oct. 11, 2008? Why is this being posted?
- CaptOblivious, on 10/20/2009, -9/+61Oct 11, 2008
The shrub was a total ***** up, we all know that.
Why are you bringing it up NOW upsell?
I can only see two possible reasons,
#1) You are an idiot.
#2) you are a !right in the head troll that thinks that digg is stupid enough to attribute the 90% dissatisfaction in the story with President Obama.
But I suppose that's redundant. - Mship, on 10/20/2009, -0/+41Seriously how did a story from a year ago about the state of the country under president bush get to the front page?
- Lefts, on 10/20/2009, -1/+29I mean, you'd think you'd at least look at what you're submitting.
- squatz, on 10/20/2009, -6/+32Who was that 10% who was still happy with the Bush presidency in October 2008?
Well, we didn't have a word for them back then. Now we call them "Teabaggers". - Altanar, on 10/20/2009, -1/+18So what?!? When that "content" is a news article pointing to old polling data about how the last President was leading the country, and that the article is nearly a year to the day old, you're not just digging up old content, but digging up an article that's no longer interesting or relevant. The only possible reason to bring something up like this is to try to trick people into thinking that it is recent, and that it's talking about current news.
Buried for being misleading. - noupsell, on 10/20/2009, -2/+17i don't know what to say... sober blackout... flashback to 2008... picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue... my apologies... i never thought Bush would go away
- Inspiron08, on 10/20/2009, -7/+20Just a guy who rants complete lack of meaningful content.
- insanebrain, on 10/20/2009, -0/+13Who's that guy in the picture ?
- Caegn, on 10/20/2009, -0/+12Personally, I blame Bush.
/s - whatit, on 10/20/2009, -2/+13Dude, a post is fine if it's a picture of a ***** cat doing something retarded. It isn't fine if it's a ***** news article based on the last American president. That is very misleading. How about admitting you made a mistake, and move the ***** on.
Don't defend your incompetence like it's your first born child, it's insulting to both us and yourself. - TwwIX, on 10/20/2009, -3/+10What guy? I only see a chimp.
- Revovisionary, on 10/20/2009, -0/+6Funny thing... Before I went on Digg I was on Real Clear Politics looking at the "Direction of the Country" pollinghttp://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/dire ... . It was not near 10% and I was about to get pissed off and see how this right wing website was spinning it's numbers. Then I saw that it was Newsweek and it was a year old. Way to work me up for nothing Digg!
- insomniacal, on 10/20/2009, -2/+8Article from October 2008. How is this relevant?
- HavocXphere, on 10/20/2009, -0/+6Everyones worst nightmare.
- GorfTron, on 10/20/2009, -0/+5I accuse my parents.
- rda1441, on 10/20/2009, -5/+10You should be tried for treason for that comment...unless you are not American, at which point never mind, your opinion doesn't matter.
- ayeroxor, on 10/20/2009, -1/+6Precisely. Disregarding the fact that this is an ancient article, there's no ***** connection between "on the right track" and "think[ing] everything is A-OK"
- Videolander, on 10/20/2009, -1/+6Attempt to make it look like Obama has a 10% approval rating is a failure.
- JonnyOThan, on 10/20/2009, -0/+5The real question is, who are the 10% of people who keep digging this?
- rkenned, on 10/20/2009, -3/+7I personally found the article interesting for the simple fact that the author could get so upset that people are happy with their lives.
Buried for being a necro post though. - Mujokan, on 10/20/2009, -0/+4I truly believe in the power of reporting spammers.
- Chrysalii, on 10/20/2009, -0/+3and Al Gore. (sorry couldn't resist).
Yeah, and so was TV before it, and radio before that, and the newspaper before that.
What happens in 20 or so years when those in power fully understand the Internet. - thecoolestguy, on 10/20/2009, -6/+9The first big teaparty event was the Ron Paul fundraiser during the Republican primaries, to express dissatisfaction with Republican policies of overseas intervention and mounting domestic spending, so your comment is just a shallow attack on fiscal conservatives.
The only reason you hate fiscal conservatives, or "teabaggers", is because they are maligned in the leftist corporate media due to the fact that they opposed the 700,000 million$ (700 billion$) corporate welfare package for the big banks.
If it wasn't for the "teabaggers", there would have been another $1 trillion bailout (i.e. 1,000,000 million$) for the banks. There was talk that it was needed at the time, and they would have gotten in it without the vocal public opposition/protests that the first wealth transfer elicited. - bossm4n, on 10/20/2009, -0/+3You're way off base on this one. Go look at the submission history of the person who submitted this story. He's about as far from conservative as you can get.
- whereisscott, on 10/20/2009, -0/+3Seriously - this is over a year old. Everyone please bury.
- Jookly, on 10/20/2009, -1/+4Buried for being way to old to be relevant.
- Mujokan, on 10/20/2009, -0/+3Buried to save noupsell further embarrassment :D
- thenorwegian, on 10/20/2009, -10/+13It's the conservatives coming out late at night again. Keep this up and they're going to be the new monsters in the closet.
- trevor98, on 10/20/2009, -0/+3What the hell are you trying to say? Make some sense and use some grammar. It really does help people understand you.
- alarchy, on 10/20/2009, -1/+4How does a Colorado mountain man have Internet (created by that band of criminals) in his cave?
- JavanSClark, on 10/20/2009, -0/+2"We Americans are all one people now!"
--and that's the only thing that pisses you off. - alarchy, on 10/20/2009, -3/+5Conveniently choosing to protest it once a President who had nothing to do with them came into office, and blaming him.
- govsucks, on 10/20/2009, -2/+4Uhhh, why does this have a chimp as an Icon?
As if the new chimp is any different than the old chimp in anything but what he says. - lead2thehead, on 10/20/2009, -2/+4What's so crazy about protesting high taxes?
- endlessirony, on 10/20/2009, -0/+2I smell a future Fox News Correspondent in the works buried.
- Falldog, on 10/20/2009, -3/+5Someone thought it was about Obama ;)
- mithrasinvictus, on 10/20/2009, -2/+4Ron Paul is a republican.
- thecoolestguy, on 10/20/2009, -3/+5@mithras, and he follows the actual Republican platform of responsible limited government, and foreign non-intervention.
@Videolander, thank you proving my point about the people brainwashed by the corporate leftist media. - AngryDeuce, on 10/20/2009, -0/+2In other news, did you guys hear about Janet Jackson's "Wardrobe Malfunction" yet?!?!?!!?
OMG!!!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4147857/ - Mujokan, on 10/20/2009, -0/+2Thanks for the link.
For those who don't click through, the RCP average of polls is 39.6 positive 56.1 negative, with the numbers holding more or less steady since about July. - rebrad, on 10/20/2009, -1/+2Really
- thecoolestguy, on 10/22/2009, -1/+2Fox News jumped on the bandwagon to promote the anti-spending movement. They're tainting it a little bit with their own pro-GOP bias, but there are still Fox anchor people that blame BOTH the Republicans and Democrats for the spending and corruption:

"FM is not wholly owned by the government. The closest you can get to your belief that government intervention caused the collapse rather than free markets is to say that Clinton caved to the moneyed interests to push FM into lowering standards for mortgages."
So, the point still stands that FM caused it, even if it was because they caved due to political pressures. And that is certainly not the only way the government interfered. Tax breaks and interest rates are two more off the top of my head. To say that it was not largely caused by the government is ignoring reality. A perfect example is the cash for clunkers program. The government interfered, the market spiked, and then it tumbled 45%. The only difference is the housing market has much more money and resources involved and the build up was slower, but the price once the bubble burst was our economy. - rda1441, on 10/20/2009, -0/+1So you're a loony?
- SookIt, on 10/20/2009, -2/+3these right wing crazies can not even post a current Obama bash story, amazing
- thecoolestguy, on 10/20/2009, -0/+1You mean Washington D.C.?

Washington is all about the money, he writes. In 2005, the Census Bureau listed seven suburban counties around the capital as among the 20 richest in the country. And it’s not just Republicans cashing in on their service. “Upon leaving office,” he notes, “more than half of the senior officials in the Clinton administration became corporate lobbyists.”
-- - denizen42, on 10/20/2009, -0/+1To be fair, some of the very worst things under the sun take the form of a kiss.
- frostbyt, on 10/20/2009, -1/+2Buried for being way to old to be relevant.
- denizen42, on 10/20/2009, -1/+2The GOP is no less retarded.
