Dirty hippies! All I see on the news is people who look like they live on the streets and dont pay taxes. Kills the message IMO.
Because the media is controlled by the evil 1%. And Congress. Who is controlled by the evil 1% as well. But not the President. He brings hope and change.
Not as many as you would think, if he got 53% of the vote in 2008 and his approval rating today (which I acknowledge isn't exactly the same thing, but I'm not a poll-master) is 47%.
I saw on the news this morning that the city is closing the public bathroom at their "camp" because they have been threatening the city workers who come to clean it. What morons! Mods, How about merging this thread with the other Occupy Portland thread?
approval ratings are not the same as what you are talking about. I don't approve of his presidency right now, but I'd rather he be the one elected in 12, then anyone that the republicans have presented (so far). I know people who blindly approve of him (and the same was true of Bush, Clinton, Bush, etc).
It's a bit like I saw on TV the other day (can't remember who...) But someone said that the Congress' approval rating was at 8%. The comedian said we should round up the 8% that think they're doing a good job and take away their voter registration card. To go back to what you were saying, you seem to be saying that you "don't approve" and may or may not be one of those "upset about" not bringing hope and change like he promised, but you're still voting for him. So you can't be that upset.
