America's Fed Up: Obama Approval Rating Hits All-Time Low, Poll Shows [W:256]

Your statement doesn't still stand and it shows that you have no historical perspective. It took decades to heal reconstruction too. Anything Obama ****s up will seem minor by comparison.

But reconstruction was the result of a Civil War that was attributable to no particular president. Obama's doing the damage himself.
 
No I don't think he does, and if you ask him, I don't think he wants to even try to run....As for the Jimmy Carter reference, nice try, but instead of trying to draw me down the false road of phony narrative, just remain truthful about what I am saying and all will be good.

Carson has started down the road.

If you think Obama's race tars all black candidates, why would bad white presidents not tar their entire race? Thinking Obama has not been a good President is a valid point of view, but I don't think saying that his failure affects all black candidates is.

Reconstruction would have been different had Lincoln lived. The mistakes were partially the fault of Johnson.
 
Matthews never considered that the tingly part was actually the onset of a neurological disorder and not the excitement he thought caused it. Too bad.

Actually, the "tingly" remark was something Matthews said about bush* after his "Mission Accomplished" speech

Ironic, huh? :lamo
 
I'll disagree with that poll. I think he likes being President - the good. I don't think he's thrown in the towel but I personally don't think that being a good leader was ever his goal. He wants to be worshipped, admired, coddled, respected, and all the other perks that come with the job.

Since when is worship, admiration, coddling, and respect a perk of the presidency????
 
The reflexive defense of this president aside, the poll shows what polling has shown throughout this president's time in office - once the bloom fell off the rose his popularity had steadily decreased until now where it has reached a point where the large majority of the people disapprove of him.

More partisan drivel. Obama's highest approval has been 69% and his lowest 40%, that's no huge swing. Talk about dropping the bloom, Bush's highest was 90% and he crashed out at 22%! :lamo

Well, I'll tell ya one thing that does, and that is when Obama was elected many saw their vote as the advent of shrugging off the yoke of racism. This was supposed to be the 'post racial' period of America when we rightfully saw action instead of color. But you know what we get from progressives? Anything we legitimately oppose immediately leads to a charge of racism by you people. Even in this thread from you to me here, you are right on the verge of letting that charge loose....And I can assure you I am not saying that in a racial way, but if the thing that many take away is that they can't criticize policy without being called racist, then he is doing damage to another black man running in the future.

Again, that wasn't Bush, it was the military that put up the sign. And, in fact, the mission was accomplished, but you liberals don't understand the difference between a mission, a battle, and a war.

I didn't say that bush* said it. I just used it to identify the speech, and I was right to do so as demonstrated by the fact that you know *exactly* which speech I'm referring to.

He's got 2 years, and considering the current trend, it doesn't look good....

His policies and black candidates in the future are two different things. Go ahead and say his policies are wrong, but if they are hurting all black candidates, that includes Republicans as well.

Never said it wouldn't....

So the official position is that Bush just crashed their party? Nobody in his administration planned to have him speak in front of the sign, he just showed up on an aircraft carrier and said - "Hey look, there's all these cameras and a podium. I might as well give this speech, but really I just came for the BBQ?"
 
Never said it wouldn't....

I'll telly you what - I get charged with the same racism if I criticize Carson's or Clarence Thomas' publicly stated positions. Are you going to tell me that's Liberals too?

By me? I don't think so....But this thing with Obama goes further than that....It's not only policy opposition that gets labeled with today's progressive, it's any opposition to what they want as their vision period, and its bull ****!

Not so much, not by those that have been the victim of racism, they just saw the election of Obama as another step in the right direction. It was the perpetrators of racism, primarily on the right, that said, ok, you've got your black president, the yoke of racism is gone, now shut the **** up! Oh, of course Bill O'riley and Rush Limbaugh didn't use those words, but that's what was heard.

Talk about being a partisan hack.

Unbelievable.

Rush actually said his election would cause MORE racial animus, not less.

So not only are you putting words in the mouths of people you've never listened to, you've contradicted their actual statements with your own drek.

They both are programmed into my radio, I keep up with there spin at all times. And they both exaggerate (Hannity does this too!) the advancements the election of Barack Obama was suppose to make for race relations.

If you actually listened to Rush instead of lying about listening to him you would know that he said Obama's election would make race relations worse.

He was right of-course.

That may have been heard by those so filled with paranoia that their hearing/thought processes no longer function properly. In fact the first person to bring up race in his first run as President was Barrack Obama.

Rush? You mean the guy who called Obama the "magic negro" said Obama's election would make race relations worse? I'm shocked
