I don’t know. You can count me in the “disapprove” column for Obama, but these Republicans seem to be completely unwilling to negotiate under any circumstances. I understand they have major philosophical differences on many issues (HC for example) but they are also unwilling to support middle of the road, or day I say conservative, ideas (pay-as-you-go, the commission on deficit reduction, spending freeze)

If any of those three were proposed by President McCain, they would vote for them. Period.

all true and i agree with you. but until he learns how to deal with “the enemy” and get them to “come around” at home, how will he do it around the world? the rest of the world wants to screw him, which is a new concept for him to grasp. He has little experience dealing with that sort of thing.
