Obama's Approval Rating Drops to Lowest Ever, According to Gallup

Believe me, I know. I honestly think that there are many conservatives who would rather see the country plunged into a depression and Obama lose than see Obama reelected and the economy stage a strong recovery.

I have actually enjoyed having you prove how intellectually dishonest liberals are. It is a failed ideology that is going to take time to totally destroy but it is being destroyed not by conservatives but by actual liberal results.
 
You're new here so I'll break it down for you in a nutshell ... Conservative never blames anything bad on Republicans or Conservatives ... he always searches for the nearest Democrat he can find to point the finger of blame at.
I see. What was I thinking trying to point out the cognitive dissonance in their comments.

You are so right, results don't matter to a liberal as ideology trumps reality

Obama economic results in 2011, .4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011, 24+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011, 4 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years, and a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.67. First President in U.S. History to have our credit downgraded on his watch! 39% JAR and well over 50% disapproval ratings and now 26% supporting his handling of the economy
 
The .4% GDP growth was for October 2010 to December 2010 the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Holy ****, you're the one who doesn't have a clue...

October 2010 through December 2010 is Q4-2010

Q4-2010: 2.3%
Q1-2011: 0.4%

0.4% GDP growth was from January 2011 through March 2011.


http://www.bea.gov/national/xls/gdpchg.xls

Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 1.3 percent in the second quarter of 2011,
(that is, from the first quarter to the second quarter), according to the "advance" estimate released by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP increased 0.4 percent.

News Release: Gross Domestic Product

Your belief that the 1st quarter of 2011 is really the 4th quarter of 2010 sure does go a long way into explaining what you post here.

:cuckoo:

Cries a Conservative who voted to give Bush four more years while posting some worse results than Obama ... like unemployment, which Bush lost 3.2 million jobs at this point compared to Obama losing 2.3 million jobs. :roll:

Results don't matter to you when a Republican president is up for re-election -- why do you think anyone cares that results only matter to you now because a Democrat is up for re-election. And it's not even about results, it's only about political party as you proved when you voted to remove Clinton from office despite a robust economy during his first 3 years and 9 months in office.
 
Here is a reminder for all here, the fiscal year of the U.S. Govt. runs from October to September and not from January to December which is the calendar year. All Govt. stats are based upon fiscal year not calendar year.

Now the thread topic, Obama Job Approval rating is 39% and his approval rating for handling the economy is 26%. We have had two years of liberalism and during those two plus years we have had 4 trillion added to the debt, fewer jobs today than when he took office, more unemployed today than when he took office, record low consumer confidence, a downgrade of our credit rating, and much more. I wonder if there ever will come a time with liberals that they admit failure?

Another liberal who doesn't have a clue. The fiscal year of the U.S. Govt. runs from October to September. The .4% GDP growth was for October 2010 to December 2010 the first quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Here ya go, Con ... here's the URL for the BEA's correction page ...

BEA : Information Quality Guidelines

Fill out that form and inform them that they got it wrong when they said, "In the first quarter, real GDP increased 0.4 percent." You tell them it was really Q4-2010 which showed 0.4% GDP growth.

Then refute them and explain why you continue to support liberalism
Why would I support what folks call today conservationism, even William F. Buckley was ashamed of what you folks had become.

What is today's conservatism in your world in the socialist republic of Oregon? Seems to me that you are out of touch with reality. define what it is that bothers you about conservatives, personal responsibility, incentive, individual wealth creation, private sector support?

The Republican party is so wacko today, they can't find a person they like for President. They'll have to settle for Romney or whack job Rick Perry

What on Earth does that have to do with GDP growing 0.4% in the first quarter of this year? Here's a clue for ya, Conservative, when the BEA says, "In the first quarter, real GDP increased 0.4 percent," they're talking about the first quarter of the calendar year 2011, not the first quarter of the fiscal year.

Holy ****! :doh

It appears that you're considering those divorce papers again! Am I right? :lamo :lamo :lamo



It does appear that we will never agree on anything therefore in doing some research I came across the attached Divorce Agreement which I think is appropriate. I would appreciate your review and agreement to the terms. That way we can move on and not have any hard feelings.

You are kidding, right? You want a Republican Candidate 1 1/2 years before the next election? why, so you can continue to divert from the Obama record?

I'm not kidding Con, Conservatives are not happy with the choices they have today. Even Karl Rove think your Gov. is too extreme.

The conservatives today are the John Birch Society of the 60s. They are far right-wing extremists who would utterly reject a Ronald Reagan if he was alive and seeking office.

What I love about conservatives today is the diverse tent that accepts all, unlike the Liberal Party(Democrat) that only has room for the left. I don't have a problem with the choices I have today because any of them are better than Obama and when the one candidate is selected that candidate will see his poll numbers more favorable than Obama. It is the Obama record that destroys Obama.

A typical very general statement made by someone who over and over proves their hatred for Republicans thus their apparent hatred of personal responsibility.

Because it sure beats Conservatism. Hands down. Liberalism may stunt growth because of additional safety measures. Little things like regulations and oversight, but Conservatism allows corruption to consume us alive without those safety measures. The current economic climate being a perfect example. While you hail the economy during Republican rule between 2003 and 2006, you ignore the damage done during those years by allowing Wall Street to use the country like a condom. Sure, we had strong growth during those real-estate bubble years, but look at what it led to.

What a load of steaming bull**** that is. The reason Obama didn't have a filibuster proof Senate as you always say, is because the Democratic Party is diverse. Have you ever heard of the term Bluedog Democrat???

It's actually quite true. Look it up: John Birch Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And it's equally true that Reagan would be rejected out of hand today. The Tea Party would lynch him for raising taxes. He would be torn apart for saying that the two parties have to cooperate to get anything done. He would be eviscerated for saying that it was incredibly irresponsible to hold the country hostage over the debt ceiling.

Another reason I don't like conservatives, is because of your dishonesty in this post.

The John Birch Society was well represented at CPAC this year.
