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

:spin::donkeyfla:nahnah::giggle1:

So I see you cannot refute ANYTHING I said and resort to childish emoticon replies instead. And you complain about others not giving in depth analysis. :roll:

Answer me this, how do you proclaim Obama is the worst president ever WITHOUT comparing other presidents? Or you can just run away or continue posting childish things.
 
bush* polled lower, not "similar"

Well, that is a bit of a stretch....I will concede that March, April of 2006 Bush fell to as low as 32% while Obama stayed or climbed this March, April to near 47%. But at this point, July, August Bush had climbed to 39%, and Obama is now at 40% according to NBC....I'd say that is pretty close.

Would it help if we said "in modern time"?
 
Never has a lesser man sat in that seat. That became painfully obvious a long time ago.
 
Not if it's Bush, you should know better by now.

I can't wait for 2017 when the Republican President starts doing things and it's all "But..but, Obama!" Basically because I want to start throwing back the "He's not President anymore." Though I suspect that some posters will magically disappear in 2017.

You don't have to wait - all you have to do is look back to 2001 when GWB took office and had all kinds of problems going forward. I don't recall a single time when President Bush spoke into a microphone and said it was Clinton's fault or Clinton did this or didn't do that. He was his own President for better or worse. And he's carried that over to Obama's Presidency, refusing to make any comments on the job Obama is doing.

I can't guarantee it, but I'm hopeful the next President in 2017 will be in the Bush mold, not the Clinton/Obama mold.

IMO, limiting your bush* # to "at this point" is (possibly unintentional) cherry picking. The OP says Obama is the worst "ever"; not "at this point"

I'll even go one further...I think it is a shame what Obama has done to the chance that another Black candidate gets a chance to be President in our lifetime....

Modern time I'm still flipping between Bush and Obama. At this rate Obama will be the worst IMO by the end of his term though.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion, and maybe I could have used better terminology rather than "worst ever", to something like 'modern time' or 'out of the recent presidents' etc.....But the fact remains that Obama's numbers here across the board are horrible, and damage to future democrat candidates, or even dare I say future democrat black candidates is tremendous.

Thank you....I don't know why the 'like' option is not showing up....but I'll give you credit TNE...You are honest enough, and have the courage to speak this truth....respect.

Even those alternate phrasings leaves bush* in a worse position unless you think it's intellectually sound to take one presidents worst rating while not taking another presidents' worst rating.

Here's the thing though sangha. Let's just say for whatever reason when Obama finishes his term and he isn't the worst president in modern times and is instead the second worst president of our time. Does that REALLY sound like something to boast about? I mean, it is really sad that instead of realizing we have had two HORRIBLE presidents we have a contest going over who was worst when BOTH really suck overall.

Presidencies are moving scales....A President can start out horribly and get much better, or start out great, and steadily slide to the worst....taking the snapshot of the worst month per se, and comparing that with the worst month of this president is absolutely cherry picking....Since polls are done monthly it is correct to look at this month in Obama's term and compare it to (in your case you want to use Bush) in the same month during the time period....At that time, Bush was at 39%, and now Obama is at 40% .... Pretty comparable if you ask me.

Answer me this, maybe you should brush up on your reading comprehension skills because I never claimed any such thing. Your Kool aid goggles are clouding your vision. Please oh please post this claim I made. I would say I'll hold my breath, but I would pass out if I did. Oh and the childish emoticons? Do you mean something similar to the one you used???

Without looking it up on any website, in any book, or using any reference material whatsoever, tell me, how bad was Warren Harding and why? How about how bad Coolidge was and why?

Point being politics is about the here and now - 99% of living people were not alive when Coolidge was President nor Hoover. A minority of young people can barely name the current President and Vice President. Hoover = a dam you see. In the last 40 years, yes Carter has the bottom of the barrel as anyone born in the 1950's and 1960's (The baby boomers) know and lived through Carter. They don't have experience with Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman etc.

Most young people can't name a previous President other than Washington, Lincoln & Kennedy.

They know Clinton, GW Bush & Obama. That's about it.

I think you're being optimistic in your assessment. I think it's 50/50 if they can name Washington and Lincoln & Kennedy. Maybe I'm just curmudgeonly today. :wink:

Again, how are my "kool-aid goggles" clouding my judgement when I have acknowledged that

#1. Obama was a horrible president
#2. You need to do a comparison of Bush AND past presidents to make a call on Obama being the worst president

I think it is YOU who has partisan goggles and and need to brush up on your reading comprehension. All you have done is post emoticons and not given ANY intelligent comments.

Hey guys! Have you seen the latest news? A sharply divided House of Representatives approved a Republican plan Wednesday to launch a lawsuit against President Barack Obama for exceeding the bounds of his constitutional authority. Details from site http://www.choose.tv/france24-en
 
Right now I'd say Carter was the worst in my lifetime, Reagan was the best. Too early to predict where Obama will end up on the historical lists. Down at the bottom, I suspect, but worst ever? Too soon. We have to wait for the ME & Russia situations to play out, have to wait until the ACA is fully implemented, have to wait to see what the CFPB will do to the country, etc.

He is a pretty awful President so far, that I see.

If he's not so concerned with the "who is the worst?" question, then he should not have raised it in the OP

And "horrible" is not determined by polls. I don't think he's "horrible"; just unimpressive

If you're going to assert "worst ever" you should look at all the #'s and not just #'s from a specific time frame.

Yeah, you have a point...We have to still suffer Carter and his utterly stupid, terrorist support today, I can only hope that Obama when he is done ****ing up the country, that he just goes away...I really can't stand to watch him speak anymore....I now understand how hard left liberals felt at the end of Bush's term.....

It's funny you want me to "walk this back" yet YOU are the one claiming I had "kool-aid gogles" on. Healer heal thyself.
