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!

Myths and Misconceptions of Presidential Approval Ratings

But what does the vague phrase “handling his job as president” actually mean? A fundamental [textbook] assumption in asking any survey question is that the question should mean the same thing to each and every respondent. It should also mean essentially the same thing a week, a month or a year from now that it does today. If not, then we are comparing apples with oranges, and any such comparisons are ipso facto, invalid, in a word, meaningless.

What difference does it make? He admitted he will be a one term president if it isn’t turned around in 3 years.

It only matters in that you made that claim. If you would prefer to rescind that claim, it's no skin off my back.

Gaining jobs per month when the percentage of unemployed has increased?

The price of gold has gone up also, and we can give credit to Barrack Obama for that too.

Ok, so you're on record for believing that losing 800,000 payroll jobs in a single month where the unemployment rate is 7.8% is better than gaining 117,000 payroll jobs in a month where the unemployment rate is 9.1%. By the way, how many months do you think think country can sustain losing 500,000 to 800,000 payroll jobs per month? Wait, before you answer, here's a clue since that is what happened for 9 months between October, 2008 and June, 2009 ... 6 million payroll jobs were lost and the unemployment rate skyrocketed 44% from 6.6% to 9.5%.

It doesn't appear that the American people are buying what you are trying to sell with your dishonest posts and insinuations. The country didn't lose 500,000 to 800,000 per month throughout 2008 which is what you are trying to indicate

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

Unemployment by month 2008


2008 7628 7435 7793 7631 8397 8560 8895 9509 9569 10172 10617 11400

As I recall Democrats controlled both houses of Congress in 2008 as well.

Oh, I see Obama polls are meaningless but polls showing potential candidates vs. Obama and of course Bush ratings are accurate and meaningful.

Not at all. Those are equally meaningless in predicting who will win the election next year. The reason for posting them is to show you that as of now (not 15 months from now) the GOP doesn't have a single candidate who beats Obama; which shows that either a) Obama isn't doing as bad as you seem to think; or b) despite how bad he's doing, he's still preferred above anybody the GOP can put up against him to fix the economy; or c) a combination of a and b. But make no mistake, I never once posted those polls to predict Obama would win next year. Only an imbecile of the highest magnitude would think a poll today can predict who will win an election 15 months from now.

I would like to stay longer to explain why but my wife just showed me this hysterical video of Michele Bachmann making a complete fool of herself today by celebrating Elvis Presley's birthday in front of crowd of gawkers ... only today isn't Elvis's birthday ... it's the anniversary of the day he died!!! So I'm off to the Michele Bachmann thread for some laughs!

Her only saving grace is that only about 300 gawkers came out to support her as she made an ass of herself....

Wonder if Obama had the Marine Corpsemen manning Marine One or maybe the Governors from the 57 or 58 states that he visited having campaign fund raisers for him.
 
Yeah, you keep wondering that. Meanwhile, Bachman has made more idiotic gaffs in three weeks than Obama has made in three years. :lol:

Your support for Obama says a lot about you. Guess you need what Obama is selling

Obama himself said he wouldn’t be re-elected if he didn’t turn this economy around. He knew he couldn’t get by on 4 years of “it isn’t my fault” or “it would have been worse”.

Unless something drastic happens and the economy rebounds or we go to war with Iran or China, Obama is toast. He knew it then and he knows it now.

Meanwhile, he still leads each and every republican contender AND a generic republican contender in polls. I guess he didn't anticipate how pathetic the opposition would be.

Does he really? Are you saying there are no polls that show Obama losing?

Wow! Barrack Obama really was right when he said he could provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; that the rise of the oceans would began to slow and our planet began to heal, that he could end a war and secure the US and restore its image as the last, best hope on earth. That this was the moment-this was the time -when he made it all come together to remake his great nation so that it may always reflect America's best and highest ideals. He was busy creating more jobs even while the percentage of the unemployed was rising. A true miracle worker!
