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

FOX whined incessantly at the beginning of the special report since Obama is being vague with the Press.
We are still on a war footing with terrorists and the last thing I would do is tell the Press any details.

It's still more than two days before President Obama speaks to the Nation and FOX is already doing the GOP dirty work.
It didn't take long for Republicans to start playing politics with war, trying to preempt the President's speech .

Of course none of this happened with the MSM when Bush was in office. You continue to be an Obama supporter so I am sure there is a reason. Name form me the major Obama economic and foreign accomplishment which generates this kind of support? Do results matter to you>

Bush barely got above 40% for the last 3 YEARS of his Presidency.
Were it Not for his post 9/11 and Initial Two-War 90%, his average would be abysmal.

This shows that Bush was not Conservative so he did nothing to consolidate his base. I was never more than mildly supportive of him outside his war efforts. He was a big government liberal.

Yeah, Bush didn't set the world on fire with his numbers in the end, but damn, Obama is crashing and burning and seems not to give a ****, and the bot's still defend him like he is on top of the world....He's a laughing stock.

Not liberal, but Bush was an Establishment Republican progressive.

Karl Rove WON Bush a second Term with... Medicare Part D. (Kyle Bass re-tells)
FREE DRUGS!
How could he lose!

And Unlike Obamacare, Part D was UNFUNDED by earmarked taxes. It's still a Budget-Buster.
Yet everyone whines about O'care.

You really don't understand Medicare Part D, do you? Suggest better research and find out what the Democrat Alternative was? Medicare Part D actually worked and cut expenses.

Who cares if he's the worst president in history. For this time in history when we need a strong effective leader, he's horrible. Absolutely.

For the forum's convenience, I have translated what WCH wrote to be more concise: "Obama isn't dropping enough bombs in the Middle East and Russia!"

That INCLUDES Congress in that as well, NOT just the President.

Blame it all on Congress? Dubya Bush did it Too!?

Bush did allot of things I totally disapprove of... but he did not arrogantly pull powers designated by the Constitution to the other branches into the Executive Office at anywhere near the level of the Obama Administration.

Congress, at least not half of it, did not take powers designated by our traditions, culture and the Constitution, from the private sector, into the realm of Government, at anywhere near the level of the Obama Administration leading their partisan half of Congress.

No other President in our lifetimes abused the power of office for political reprisal and vengeance, as the Obama Administration.



You try to equivocate, and fail.

He makes threats and sets red lines to cross then does squat. No one respects that.

FWIW, no one needs you to translate.

Conservatives are proud of bush because bush dropped more bombs than Obama. Conservatives measure the value of a politician by how many bombs he drops, and bush is leading.
 
Still waiting, and waiting, and waiting for any Obama supporter to provide us with the Economic and foreign policy successes that warrant the continued support. Seems to me that we have an empty suit in the WH who lacked the leadership skills, executive skills, and experience to hold the office and yet some here still support him, why?

As a Libertarian, I hate both o and gwb. But what's amusing is the no. of conservatives who cheerlead for gwb even though he started the war that led to the current mess in the ME.

Bull****, TARP, the Patriot Act, Iraq War, using bad intel, sorry but you are simply incorrect and partisan to boot. Bush is rated as one of the worst presidents. I have no doubt Obama will be too. However, you are arguing over who is the worst when BOTH were bad presidents along with their congresses.

Have fun with your hackery, you're dismissed.

The same reason you supported Bush Con. Tell us WHY WOULD A LIBERAL VOTE FOR ROMNEY? He represented MANY social views that were conservative. Maybe if the economy is the NUMBER ONE priority for you and other cons you shouldn't put social conservatives up.

I didn't vote for Obama, but it is clear in this country the duopoly system is prevalent so please tell us why someone on the left would vote for a social conservative like Romney was?

The relevant stat is the total no. of bombs dropped, which must include Iraq.

Why don't you just admit you can't get "It's Bush's fault" out of your daily Leftist jargon.

When are going to start putting the onus on the person who has been POTUS for the last 6 years? WHEN?

What is absolutely amazing to me is revisionist history on the part of those who claim that Bush started a war that wasn't authorized by Congress totally ignoring that the Gulf War cease fire was violated and the entire intelligence organization all over the world said that Saddam Hussein had WMD. What we have here are people who are never proactive on any issue continuing to blame Bush for something they truly don't understand or want to understand.

I see liberalism/progressivism/socialism/Marxism/statism/fascism as a continuum of totalitarians whose main differences involve their tools of tyranny and implementation speed. All run counter to the ideal of individual liberty and freedom this nation was founded upon.
