Do obama supporters realize that being popular doesn't make someone a good president?

No. It’s the iPod generation, style wins over substance every time. But they will have grown a lot by 2012……..I hope. Obamanomics will be quite an experience for them.

Do Bush supporters realize the opposite? Being unpopular doesn't make a good president either.

yes

do you understand that a women who preaches to her base and thus becomes very popular with them can also be a big Quitter and a moron ?

Yes, we do. Other things make Obama a good president.

Oh, and @PATRIOT, that's a Soviet-made gun on your pic. Way to be a patriot.

I don't like him because he is popular. I hated Bush even when he was popular (way back).

I like him because I think he is a good president.

Usually demagogues and usurpers are very popular. Control over media does not hurt either.

Vladimir Putin for example enjoys stable 75% approval ratings, mind you no skewed polling whatsoever.

Bush was unpopular and look how he destroyed this country.

Do worthless, insignificant conservatives on Y!A realize how their meaningless and poorly written posts on Y!A sound desperate, pathetic and ridiculous?

Get over it - conservatives are L O S E R S !

I'm waiting for Reagan and GW Bush supporters to realize this. 8^) Then, supporters of Sarah Palin.

Actually I think Obama's doing a pretty good job.

There's way too much obsession right now, give the dust time to settle.
