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

Not open for further replies.
Right, it was referred to committee in the House and the Senate. Last action in the Republican-led House was in May. Jobs jobs jobs

Ok, first of all what does this have to do with the Obama approval rating dropping? I will respond to your question however this time but all you are doing is diverting because you have no answer for the Obama record other than to say it is better than what he inherited but as shown that isn't totally true, unemployment higher, employment lower, labor force declining, misery index higher, debt higher showing total incompetence.

The bill went to committee in May. GOP took over the House in January 2011 and found no budget so they proposed a couple budgets and then had the debt ceiling debate which of course you have already forgotten trying to make this an issue of a jobs bill dying in committee, which isn't the case. "Your" President has had over two years with total Democrat control of Congress and didn't present a jobs bill but now the GOP takes over one House of Congress and a bill was created in May 2011, 4 months after taking control. Where is the Obama focus on Jobs because it isn't showing up in the record.

You posted a link to the bill and you're asking ME how it's relevant? :lol:

My bad, I should have figured that the republicans were too busy tanking the stock market to bother with a jobs bill (which actually wouldn't create a single job, so I'm not sure how you figure it's a jobs bill anyway).

You are absolutely right, I answered Winston's post and you jumped in and I made the mistake of responding to you. That won't happen again, the thread topic is the Obama approval rating and you want to run from the record that generated that JAR, don't blame you. Good luck running on the GOP obstruction and GW Bush. Obama has a record that didn't just appear.
 
Very simple, it puts fiscal responsibility back into the govt. and when the budget is balanced that means less debt service or money borrowed which makes more money available to businesses and lower interest rates to consumers thus creating more economic growth. You really don't understand fiscal responsibility, do you?
I don't understand why the greatest nation on the face of the earth would want to constitutionally limit how much debt it could have. Remember debt is a function of both spending and revenue. Also, the House can Constitutionally appropriate money outside of the budget - this is what Bush did with Iraq and Afghanistan. This is just smoke and mirrors by the Gee Oh Pee to American people they are worried about the debt - which they are not.

There have been only 27 Amendments to the Constitution and I doubt that 38 states (even the red ones) would approve this.

Republicans go on about how government should be run like a business, but no business would prohibit itself from borrowing in this fashion. It would be suicidal.

I don't understand how the greatest nation on the face of the earth could generate a 14.6 trillion dollar debt either. Debt normally is the function of spending and revenue but this debt is the total affect of social engineering and the govt. getting involved in personal responsibility issues. It isn't surprising that many Americans aren't worried about the debt as they don't pay any Federal Income taxes that fund that debt. It is time to revise the tax code and have everyone paying something. Obama has a 38% JAR for a reason and fiscal irresponsibility is part of that reason.

No business can print its own money nor would it be able to run up a 14.6 trillion dollar debt. Govt. irresponsibility has run up this debt and you support that waste.

It is not at all uncommon for businesses to run in the red from time to time. Most large business generate losses for years before they become profitable. If businesses couldn't run in the red we wouldn't have many businesses.

This country didn't create the 14.6 billion dollar debt in a few months or a few years. No business could do what this govt. has done and as long as politicians can buy votes to keep their jobs they are going to spend, spend, spend. Almost every state has a balanced budget requirement, why not the Federal Govt? Most social issues are the responsibility of the states not the Federal govt. but without the Federal Govt. taking that responsibility many politicians wouldn't have a job today
 
Move over Jimmy Carter, you finally can get off the bottom as being the worst American President. Barack Obama is going to displace you.

Any poll that shows the American people waking up is great. As stated I believe it will be Romney or Perry and either one can beat Obama. Polls will change when the nomination process is complete. Many of the supporters of the lessor candidates will move to the nominee and the so called Independents have already been lost by Obama.

You have already dismissed this, but you should take heart in what it says...

This will be his first loss as there is no reason to vote for Obama unless this country has moved as far left as you and others seem to believe. The leftwing ideology is on full display with the Obama record. He cannot blame his record on Bush or anyone else, it is his and the JAR today shows it isn't selling.

wait a minute. The right wing keeps telling us that the left progressive wing is becoming disenchanted with Obama and is deserting him. Now you tell us that unless the country has moved to the left - the place folks like you claim Obama is losing support - that he cannot win in 12. This makes no sense.

George W. Bush took care of that quite handily -- not that Carter was ever close to the bottom.

The total Bush Administration hands down beats Carter and Obama so don't even go there because you have no clue as to what you are talking about. It will be the Obama record on the ballot and things are worse today than when he took office on the all important jobs, misery index, and debt which is contrary to what he promised.
 
Rasmussen, eh? Big surprise.

Quinnipiac has it Obama 45% Perry 42% in its most recent poll.

I know that anyone who believes in the nanny state and expansion of govt. will vote for Obama. This country wasn't built on the Obama principles or those that you support.

Obama has a low JAR because of his record and that record will be on the ballot in 2012.

Not to worry, Adam, the worst thing that could happen right now would be if Obama was ahead by large margin. This way GOP donors will put their money on Perry. About Texas Governors... Fool me once, shame you, fool me twice shame on me.
