Worst day since 2008 financial crisis

Didn't Obama inherit a AAA credit rating from Bush?
Riiight ... and that's Obama's fault for inheriting an economy with -9% GDP, 22 million underemployed, 14% unemployment rate, a $1.2 trillion deficit, 11 trillion in debt, a housing crisis, a mortgage crisis, a credit crisis, a stock market in free fall, and a monster recession which lost 8 million jobs and over 5% in GDP.

Fox News:

Obama approval rating: 42%
Congress approval rating: 10%*

* = all-time record low
 

it'd be like the prodigious prof posting a link from breitbart

can't speak for anyone else

but without the ny times, boston globe, ap, reuters, ft, bloomberg, usa today, wapo, cnn, politico, msnbc, cnbc, abc, cbs, npr, bbc, cbc, la times, wsj...

and yes, sometimes, if i can't find it anywhere else, fox...

if it weren't for all those msm's and a buncha locals, i for one wouldn't have much to say

to each his own, naturally

Since Congressional elections are local and the Presidential elections are national, doubt that a 42% approval rating will get it done. The best news for business is "Barack, your fired!"

no, really...

where does mm come up with this one?

certainly not from the headlines the last 3 years day after day in the times and times and post and post and sentinel journals and plains dealers and intelligencers...

i mean, really---ALL THE NEWS IS BAD

and it HAS BEEN BAD basically since we all MET barack the slasher hussein

journalism---bottom line---is MURDERING barack the slasher hussein obama

day by day by drip

all day, every day, no let up

all the news is bad, even the journolisters have no choice

remember EZRA KLEIN's journolisters?

Journolist veers out of bounds - Roger Simon - POLITICO.com

how embarrassing

do you KNOW roger simon

THEY treat him like a saint (he almost died)

let's let CHUCK TODD tell it, then i'll tell Y'ALL about chuck todd

“I am sure Ezra had good intentions when he created it, but I am offended the right is using this as a sledgehammer against those of us who don’t practice activist journalism.

“Journolist was pretty offensive. Those of us who are mainstream journalists got mixed in with journalists with an agenda. Those folks who thought they were improving journalism are destroying the credibility of journalism.

“This has kept me up nights. I try to be fair. It’s very depressing.”

in the 90's chuck todd worked for hotline, a pub that covers congress district by district

as such i would see him on brian lamb's morning show on cspan, washington journal, probably a couple times a week

i was amazed how he could rattle off so credibly on the precise political distinctions between OH4 and OH11, the demographics of every district in the nation---that was his job

karl rove is another, michael barone on fox is a district-by-district guy

they are political almanacs

do you remember when robert gibbs, the worst press secretary modern washington ever had, challenged the "professional left" members of journolist to go get themselves drug tested?

Robert Gibbs says leftwing critics of Obama 'ought to be drug tested' | Richard Adams | World news | guardian.co.uk

no, folks like me would be outta biz without our media---exactly the way it is

Non sequitur ... those polls reflect who America blames most for the downgrade. America's job approval for Obama fell just 2 percentage points since the downgrade; whereas America's job approval for Congress sank to an all time low of 10% in a Fox News poll.
