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

Not open for further replies.
My understanding is that the Democrats had control of the Presidency, the House, and Senate until January of this year. Did the debts only begin accumulating after that?

Your understanding is lacking in fact
 
Rightwingers also have no problem with the first $10T in debt piled up, for the most part, under repub presidents.

Then the lesson s clear.

No more former Presidents should be re-elected.
 
Does Obama have an idea on how to rectify the debt problem?
His plan was to increase revenue by raising taxes, combined with reducing growth of some entitement programs.

I am going to date myself but are you related to Kreskin, the mind reader? There has been no Obama plan with specifics only rhetoric. He vowed to veto the Ryan plan without even seeing it. Now if you want to use that word lie this would be the time. There isn't enough revenue by taxing the rich to generate any significant change in the deficit or the debt but it makes for great fuel for the brainwashed that support him.

Gee, it's too bad this didn't occur to him during the two years when his party controlled the House, Congress and the Presidency.

In fact during this time he had his non-elected Czars working on one of the biggest entitlement programs ever, affectionately known as Obamacare. This is the boondoggle that was passed without anyone reading what it said. But they had the word of whoever wrote it that there was really good stuff inside and would save everyone even more money.

At what point over the last 30 years did our nation's debt become a problem for you?

It's actually a problem for everyone, though some of BHO's less astute supporters might not think so.

With Europe going down the tube's, and now the US as well, it has an effect on the world economy in general. But I think you knew that.

Debt has always been a problem but debt has never been this high as a percentage of GDP since percentages seem to be a hot button for you. Is there any question that Obama will create more debt in his first term than Bush did in 8 and Bush had 9/11 along with Katrina. Now join with me in getting Bush out of the WH so we don't confuse Obama with those very poor Bush economic results

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!
 
As the CBO says, they don't score speeches. Do you know that a speech isn't a proposal in writing? Do you know his budget offered no cuts and was defeated 97-0? So again, just another distortion from you or as you would say a lie.
Conservative, why do you make me do this to you? You're making me feel guilty.


President's budget sinks, 97-0

The Senate voted unanimously on Wednesday to reject a $3.7 trillion budget plan that President Obama sent to Capitol Hill in February.

Ninety-seven senators voted against a motion to take it up.

Democratic aides said ahead of the vote that the Democratic caucus would not support the plan because it has been supplanted by the deficit-reduction plan Obama outlined at a speech at George Washington University in April.​



Congress rejected his budget because it was based on what he said in the speech I linked for you ... the one containing his debt reduction plan that you claim he didn't propose to Congress.

Do you ever get tired of being schooled by a Liberal? You know you could save yourself some of this embarrassment if you would just do your homework first.

I hate to do this to you but there was no debt reduction plan submitted to Congress and you know it

So Barrack Obama never really had a plan, just an "outline" of a plan.

Maybe he'll finally come up with a real plan during his second term.

Just kidding!

Stop the **** lying already, will ya? I've already shown you when it happened before. Stop saying it was never this high before when you know that it has been.

Your lies aside, Bush gave Obama a debt that was 85% of GDP along 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.

What direction could that 85% of GDP debt go with all of that?



Is there any question that Obama will create more debt in his first term than Bush did in 8 and Bush had 9/11 along with Katrina.
Umm, Bush also nearly doubled the debt. You made him pay by voting for him as many as 8 times.

He proposed a plan to Congress. They rejected it. Why would you say he never had a plan?

Hey, just heard we have something else to look forward to. In September Obama is going to address the jobs problem after telling the people that he has been focused on jobs the past two years. Now he is really getting serious. Don't know about you but I can hardly wait for the govt. to get serious about creating jobs
 
Ok, but at what point over the last 30 years did our nation's debt become a problem for you?

Oh, it's not the debt alone. It's the clear incompetence of US leadership. There are many issues, and many of them discussed on these boards, that strongly suggest that America is no longer taking itself seriously, and neither are its people. I find this to be a tragedy of huge proportions.
 
He proposed a plan to Congress. They rejected it. Why would you say he never had a plan?

If that is what you want to believe, great, your chioce. Seems a lot of people don't believe he ever had a plan. Amazing, isn't it, with such incredible economic results he has a 39% JAR. Maybe it is only people like you getting his plans and programs.

Hey didn't those Republicans have a lot of campaign rhetoric about jobs?

I wonder if I can google some

most Republican plans wouldn't be of interest to you since they involve the private sector and providing incentive to that sector. The nanny state seems to be more to your liking
