Yes, the C man is the consummate cherry picker. He'll compare Obama's first two year results -- all in recession -- to Reagan or Bush's eight-year results, but comparing Bush's final approval rating is strictly verboten.

In actual fact, Bush's approval rating was as low as 25% at one point. At the equivalent time in Reagan's presidency his rating was in the low 40s -- coming off an all-time low of 35%.

Your dear leader Obama has dropped to 39% approval that's Bush #2 term territory, that is. There is no good way to spin that.

Bite the bullet

Actually it puts him Reagan #1 territory. Guess he must have been a pretty awful president.

44% approval rating last time I checked. If we assume liberal don't approve of his performance either, that means hes likely to have a 50/50 chance of winning the presidency again. We all already knew this, 80% of the country is partisan

Which is EXACTLY why I'm hoping that the GOP gives its nomination to either Bachman, Palin or Perry. None of which will draw any support from moderates or independents.

Again, you keep assuming/hoping/wishing thats, the case but the voting public is still far more conservative than liberal; it's roughly a 40/40/20 cut conservative/moderate/liberal, and many self-described mods are actually more conservative than they think when you start asking them specific policy questions.

Again, anyone who discounts Perry's ability to whup Obama is gravely underestimating him. He is not a noob at this.

Unemployment is at 9.1% with no signs of a significant drop in the next year, and GDP growth is pegged at an anemic 0.4% per last quarter's most recent revision - down from 1.3% revised in the prior quarter. We are sliding into another recession.

That's exactly what I am hoping the rest of the GOP believes. In actuality, Perry is such an extremist and there is no way that he draws even a substantial portion of moderates and independents.

"Your" President's results make him an awful President but what the hell, you are ok thus it doesn't matter about the 25 million unemployed or under employed and no plan to change that

Exactly want, I wanted to see...the extremist. You made my case which tells me how terrified of him you truly are.

The media is already in full-blown Sarah Palin mode on him...thats good. Gives him more coverage

The elites and the left spark such hatred and dismissive attitude towards him because of his folksy demeanor and religion worn as a badge of honor as much as his politics...and thats good

Bottom line - For those who think Perry is unelectable why the fear?

No its not lol. Gallup did a survey a little less than a year ago and it said 20% = religious right, 20% = republican, 18ish % = big gov liberals, 20% = "Obama-democrats" (moderate democrats), and the rest = undecided. That means 40% will vote republican regardless, 40% will vote democrat regardless and the remaining ~20% aren't sure. That undecided/independent voter base is getting bigger but its pulling from both sides.

This means 80% of the country is partisan, and elections are decided by 20% by that 20%. That 20% is very anti-religious extremist. Most will run from a Parry or Bachmann quicker than they ran to Obama on promises of Change

We will find out in 2012 because there is no way Obama is going to get another four years with the record he has created. 38% Job Approval Rating isn't going to get the job done and there is no economic plan that makes any sense. He is an ideologue that prevents him from changing from a big spending, nanny state promoting liberal
 
The OP is wrong. Its now at 38%.

but hey...he gets higher marks than the combined congress...so...bonus!

Why don't you post the rest of the post that referenced the CBO report including the page number. That quote was right out of that report. I DON'T BUY THE SAVED JOBS BULL**** AND NEVER WILL.

Bull**** you didn't buy it. Not only were you asking people on the forum how they felt about Obama's stimulus costing us $228,000 per job, you even stated that the result of Obama's stimulus was to cost $228,000 per job. You ate it up until I made you choke on your words by pointing out the implication of what you were saying is that Obama's stimulus saved/created 3.5 million jobs.

Here is the link you gave ...

CBO: Jobs Created or 'Saved' by Stimulus Cost $228,055 Each - Stimulus Money - Fox Nation

Nowhere in there does it say what you said ...

"Those are the results "your" President generated" ~ Conservative

Stop lying. You said those were the results of Obama's stimulus. Foxnews didn't say that ... the CBO didn't say that ... you said it.

That's what you believed the cost per job of Obama's stimulus cost us -- until I pointed out that without realizing it, you just confirmed Obama's stimulus programs was a rousing sucsess.

You're been trying to take back your words ever since. :lamo

"Those are the results "your" President generated" ~ Conservative


Well those results saved and created 3.5 million jobs. Success!

Could you provide for us in the words of a credible economist, what exactly the metric is to determine a saved job.....

I'm going by what Conservative believed. If someone as anti-Obama as he is believed that each stimulus job cost $228,000 (which equates to 3.5 million jobs), what reason would I have to doubt him?

LOL, so you believe that I think Obama saved millions of jobs? This is what makes you totally irrelevant, you take comments totally out of context. Notice you didn't post the entire post of mine but only the part you think is a gotcha moment. Let me set you straight, there is no such measurement of a saved jobs. It was created by the Obama Administration to cover up their failure of the stimulus plan. To use a favorite phaase of yours, "do you ever stop lying?"
