| Obama's latest approval ratings.
Posted: 9/22/2009 11:02:38 PM | | Hard to see anything in your paycheck when you don't have a job.......why are Liberals so reluctant to hold Obama accountable for anything...Failed Foreign Policy, broken promises, out of control unemployment....seriously the "Stimulus" Plan was supposed to stimulate....How many new jobs have been created because of it?Tarp did what it was supposed to, Obamas Stimulus plan didn't.Maybe thats why Republicans didn't support it, unfortunately it seems like their assessment of the Plan was the more honest and accurate. Obama makes statements and promises offers time lines then when they aren't met then he moves them again again and again....He has been in Office for 8 months now the main thing he has been concentrating on is Health Care reform while millions are losing jobs and have lost their jobs....WTF? seriously are you all that drunk on the Kool aid that you can't see whats going on? every time Obama miscalculates or is wrong Liberals make excuses about not enough time passing and what not...If he would quit giving Health care speeches everyday and concentrate his efforts on job creation unemployment might not be rising everyday,,,,,when he sold the Stimulus plan to Americans he said unemployment would not go above 8.5% unemployment is in the double digits and rising everyday...Either he lied or he doesn't know what the heck he is talking about, that being the case how are we supposed to believe anything he says about Health Care reform? | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 6:48:57 AM | Whenever you're wondering about jobs and the state of the economy, please consider the following:
Absolute Facts...
Republicans have held the presidency for 20 of the last 28 years
Republicans have held control of the congress for 14 of the last 16 years
Republicans have held both the presidency AND control of the congress for 6 of the last 8 years...
In the same period, our national debt has gone from under $ 2 trillion to over $ 11 trillion...
Our banking system collapsed and had to be bailed out by tax payers along with General Motors...
Over the last 28 years, 3% of total wealth has been transferred from the 20% poorest people to the 5% wealthiest...
The Christian conservative right and its McCarthyism took 28 years putting us in this situation... instead of blaming Obama for not fixing it after 9 months... how about thinking about how your votes put us and our children and our children's children in this predicament... | |

The Christian conservative right and its McCarthyism took 28 years putting us in this situation... instead of blaming Obama for not fixing it after 9 months... how about thinking about how your votes put us and our children and our children's children in this predicament... excellent point,all facts,but can't wait to see a conservative spin on what they think that really means,it might even be yet another "hey you liberals always talk about the past when we are addressing Obama"that one kills me,as if they are not connected.Its like a giant wild frat party that went on forever until they destroyed the house,and the partying people partied so long they lost there jobs,yet instead of blaming those that were the partying people at the party for the mess and havoc,they are blaming the man cleaning it up,saying he's not fast enough and not doing a good enough job,he's costing us money.
Its as if these short sighted people are actually blaming Obama for trying to fix everything that the GOP wore out,or broke,or mismanaged,or simply abused.Sure blame wall street for some of this but after all the government should have had regulations in place,its not like they didn't know about usery laws with the credit cards and high risk investments,or what was going on in Freddie mac and Fannie May way before the crash happened.Bush had his shot at alternative energy and did little,he even denied global warming longer than almost any other country out there,he had his shot at energy regulations and changes,sure blame medicine also,but hey,government could have cracked down at anytime about the medicare frauds,accounting for tens of billions in fraud each year,but they did nothing.
Its as if some are drinking some far our mind bending KoolAid or something to say this has anything to do with Obama.Sure people are afraid of government being more involved,thats solely because the GOP has abused so much for so many years that everyone is afraid of government,as if Obama is anything at all like them,as if they are all cut from the same cloth. | |

Posted: 9/24/2009 9:24:13 AM | excellent post laxref41. all pointing to the fact that we should stop electing republicans (democrats too) and elect true fisical conservatives to not only the White House, but congress as well.
the only thing seperating the two parties from each other is their degree of stupidity. | |

I think that is what the Tea Partiers, 912ers and the Town Hall protestors have been saying. We are tired of all the government up there in DC. We saying either start listening and do what you promised and what we ask or good bye.
Well it looks like Obama dropped just a bit in the polls today. He has been holding at 53% most of the last week or so. Now Obama is at 51.8% according to RCP Poll Average. I don't really think this means anything right now. Obama will probably work his way back up or probably be at 53% before the end of next week.

Posted: 9/26/2009 11:51:33 AM | | Ok, back to the topic of OP which is Obama's approval ratings. I would advise all of you who cite polls to support your position on this or any subject to go behind the headline number(s) and dig into the construction of poll questions and the demographics of the responders. Currently I find most polls on this subject especially those conducted on behalf of networks have a tendency to oversample democrats which is pruely accidental I'm sure. | |

In my opinion, there is nothing the U.S. government can do to quickly turn an economy... particularly one which has dug itself into an $ 11 trillion credit card hole.
Also, the changing of the health insurance system will have very positive, long term ramifications on the economy. | |

Eventhough I voted for Obama, I wish he would focus more on the Economy instead of Healthcare.
He wants the focus off the economy as much as possible. Sooner or later, blaming Bush is going to quit working for him. He voted for every one of Bush's budgets, voted for TARP, etc. Now, every time there is even slightly good, or even less bad economic news, wants to claim credit for it, but every time there is BAD economic news, he still wants to blame Bush! 
The reality is, the economy is NOT going to improve during this administration, especially with it's free spending socialist policies. Americans are in an absolute PANIC about all this federal spending, and next year the election results will reflect that. Then in 2012, Obama is TOAST...  | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 7:49:04 AM | | I was just a little kid when President Carter and Regan were in power. Anyways, so how much blame did then current President Regan place on the former President Carter when it came to the economy and unemployment?.... | |

I'm an American.
I am not 'in a panic' about the Federal spending.
But then, I do have a basic understanding of what the situation is, and what the Federal Government is going to have to do to try to rectify it.
I guess if one doesn't have that basic knowledge, then one will tend to run around yelling about the sky falling... | |

So true. No believes anymore that to get money we need to spend money, which Obama seems to love to do a lot of. Obama and his wife's trip for the special Olympics did not seem to help Obama's approval ratings either.
This is one of the first weekends that Obama has gone into the weekend with a 51.8% approval rating at RCP. Seems he is slowly losing his top numbers from his other places. Usually by Friday Obama has managed to get himself back into the 52-53% rating . http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html

Posted: 10/3/2009 12:53:37 PM | Sorry about the error in post 115. I currently volunteer for the special olympics in my area and made an error in typing since it was on my mind.
But as for Special Olympics and the Obama's I don't want to go into that area due to Obama's last comment on them on the Letterman show.
But as my comment was meant to say it looks like the Obama's trip for the Olympics was a bust in more ways than one for it did not help his ratings in the states. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 1:31:19 PM | I think Obama has no interest in ratings,he even said so,so I highly doubt if when he tries to go sell America as the place to host the Olympics that he ponders,"God,I hope this is good for my ratings".I think only those of you that dislike Obama, are on the daily poll numbers.As he stated repeatedly, as he campaigned for all these changes that he is currently working on ,he understands these changes are why people voted for his vision and not McCains and that he would be letting down the people that voted for him if he changed course from his campaign,so basically all that were against him in the campaign still are,and that the polls only mean something to you and mean nothing to us that support him.
As for me,am I supposed to regret that my American President tried to sell the Olympics being held in America,some of you act like that was a waste of taxpayers money so in my thinking that's a very odd way at looking at this,perhaps you think its better to not push America,that some how the tens of thousands that would have gained work and profits from either the construction of the Olympics or the vendors and hotels,car rental companies that would profit during the event was a bad thing for the President to waste taxpayers money on to sell this plan to the Olympic committee.
Imagine that,an American president trying to sell America as the number one choice.I swear you haters will gripe at absolutely everything Obama does,irregardless ! now your complaining that he is trying to create jobs that come with hosting the Olympics.Oh you might not see it that way,but that's what you are doing ! you just have to much hate to see it. | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 1:42:12 PM | Truth of the matter is this, if he had not gone and Chicago lost the games he would have been criticized for not supporting the effort. They would have pointed out that every other nation in the running had the head of state there. "Where was Obama?" they would have screamed.
It's like Bizzaroland for them. "Whatever the President is for, I'm against it!" | |

I hate to see this behavior, Town Halls....Rightie's about Olympics.
However the longer it goes and the more unreasonable .......the Better...................
This will drive reasonable, thinking people away from this group ....
I cannot Imagine anyone saying they are a Republican now... Just wait another 6 months... Their creditability is in the Dumper...........
The GOP has the lowest ratings for any midterm ever... Negative...
All the talk about how many seats the GOP will gain............ How about how many they lose?
Tomorrow a big investigative report is coming out....
it will finish Ensign and maybe Coburn.... Payoff of Millions, Money Laundering
Vetter is facing disbarment....

Please define which policies you feel are socialist and how much is already being spent on them...
As for free spending, please take a look at the federal deficits from 1981 to present... and then please rationalize it... | |

Posted: 10/4/2009 9:29:01 PM | | How stupid was that,he has been ,and still is working on everyone of those things mentioned ,whereas the parody tries to make it sound as if its all finished business,as if he gave up.Its sad when SNL is a kind of proof of why he has bad ratings,it would be nice if facts could be used instead of parody.Its yet another time when your rebutted after the remarks you and others made about the Olympics bid failure (as you saw it)and you ignore that rebuttal,because it makes your remarks look petty and it puts your view , as if you,missed the point of that he was selling American and attempting at creating jobs,thousands of jobs and many industries would have contributed had the Olympics been here and yet you couldn't get past the expense of the flight he made and that he wasted precious time,yet still,I can't help think,judging by your past points ,that if he had been successful you would have knocked that also,so whats next,Rush Limbaugh is the proof you need,or maybe Mad TV? Have they done a Saturday morning cartoon on this yet ? let us know ! | |

Posted: 10/4/2009 9:45:49 PM | I see you aren't smiling about this one. Remember how all the dems were running around praising Tina Fey and the show about on the mark they were? Now Obama gets little jab, and here comes the typical move to discredit them now the shoe is on the other foot. When will the boycotts & protests begin?
The real truth:dems can dish it out, but they sure can't take it.
Face the facts, you guy hasn't finished much of what he started and what he has finished has been a disaster. I drove by a huge metal sign today that proclaimed:
This project is being funded by the American Community Reinvestment Act. What followed? Absolutely nothing. No cones, no visible signs of anything being done whatsoever. Same old pothole filled strech of road. I looked over at my 15 year old son and said--I don't think anything has even been started yet. He grinned and said, somebody put the sign up! | |
