Obama's approval rating grows following memorable week

Gay marriage: Again, how did HE do that? It just happened on his watch. He does get kudos for ending DADT, though.

And for dropping the legal defense to the Defense of Marriage Act and for filing multiple amicus briefs in support of expanding gay rights/marriage.
 
First non-white president. Gave lots of people health care. Shifted thought to the Left. Gay marriage. Out of Iraq and Afghanistan. ACA. Unemployment down. In some circles he will be remembered as one of the all time greats

He gave people health care. How did he do that? Was he playing doctor?
 
the neighbor is the community and it is the local and state responsibility for social issues not the federal bureaucracy

Communities and states are broke, too. The only result of what you advocate for is people not getting taken care of.
 
He gave people health care. How did he do that? Was he playing doctor?


He used his political clout, charisma and savior faire to win over certain elements to make the ACA politically feasible.
 
He'll say or do something that will cause it to crash again. I guarantee it.

I hate to break it you but it has never "crashed" like Bush's ratings. You can wish all you want.
 
I have personally never taken Govt. assistance except for some FEMA money when Hurricane Charlie devastated my nursery. That does not change the fact that I understand the history of misery in this country and how the steps that FDR took made it 1000% better. You used to appreciate that too until your wallet took over. Your irrational fear of a plummeting dollar is an indication of just that. The dollar is actually a bit too strong lately and is hurting our exports.

Still aren't answering the question. Your support for Obama is based upon what? the 18.2 trillion dollar debt? The 10.8% unemployment? The 6.5 million part time workers? ACA that is preventing job creation? the loss of the peace in Iraq? Please answer the question and stop believing what the left tells you. Do some research?
 
Bush had a bubble economy, it came crashing down; the month Obama was ignaugerated the economy lost 800K jobs.

Stop being a parrot and actual do some research. Please tell me where the 1.3 million discouraged workers came from and why after spending 842 billion dollars there was a loss of 3 million jobs, 142 million to 139 million? You buy what you are told and the question is why?
 
The record period of private sector job growth occurred under Obama's tenure despite all of the allegations of how his economic policies, including the litany you include here, would supposedly destroy the private sector. In fact, the primary reason that the unemployment rate has not dropped lower is because of the shrinkage found in Government positions. For many of the months of recovery, the private sector grew at a rate which offset the loses to the public sector. There have been 63 months of private sector job growth.

63 Straight Months Of Private Sector Job Growth | Democratic Policy & Communications Center

Yes and how many of those are part time jobs or does that matter? the primary reason that the unemployment rate is dropping is the fact that there are many more dropping out of the labor force because they are discouraged about the Obama economy and a very slow growth in the labor force. Giving Obama credit for the private sector growth is total ignorance.
 
Obama inherited an economy that had 142 million working Americans, in two years he took it to 139 million and now you want to give him credit for record numbers of consecutive months of private sector job growth? You believe ACA, minimum wage increases, changes in overtime rules benefit the private sector and will cause them to grow jobs? It does appear that you have no understanding at all of the private sector and how it works. The economic results today are a tribute to that private sector, NOT obama

In Con's world....GWB led America to economic utopia....the economy was strong and growing. Too funny....
 
Communities and states are broke, too. The only result of what you advocate for is people not getting taken care of.

So if communities are broke then the Obama economy isn't what the left wants you to believe. Which is it?
 
Who gives a ****? He isnt running for election again and everyone with a brain knows that he is a ****ing loser setting our country up for complete destruction.
 
It appears that all the victories last week have boosted Obama's approval rating to 50% for the 1st time since 2013. I guess more of us are proud to be an American.

Obama's approval rating grows following memorable week - CNNPolitics.com

And yet more proof that approval ratings mean nothing, and most people don't understand that the president doesn't run the entire government by himself.

I am rather disgusted by the way mainstream Democrats are claiming credit for this, given that they were too cowardly to openly support most of it when it mattered. Obama and his "evolving" nonsense. Evolving into what? A Charizard?

These victories were won in spite of Democrats, not because of them. He had absolutely nothing of use to say on gay marriage, he has had no hand (and frankly no power) in any of the movements about racial issues and has done nothing but the token gestures that any president would, and the ACA is mostly just a government-sponsored advertising site for insurance companies (not entirely useless, but talk about a bandaid over a bullet hole).

Running into the battlefield after the war is over and claiming victory...
 
I think its called a GruberBush manlove infatuation. Its when the facts don't fit your fantasies.

the facts support me, Obama supporters made Gruber claim what he claimed and the Obama supporter ignorance has led to the BDS that far too many have. Too many Obama supporters are nothing more than parrots. Passing off what the left tells you as fact ignores reality and destroys credibility.

Like I said.....in your world Con....9/11 occurred on Clinton's watch, GWB responded by attacking the country that attacked us....captured and killed Bin Laden and then led the world to economic utopia.

No, 9/11 was planned and trained for under Clinton, Bush attacked a country based upon intelligence the Senate under Democrat control had and voted to support, Bin Laden was captured and killed by Seal Team 6 based upon information gained by enhanced interrogation, and Obama's economic utopia led to the complete loss of Congress.

There was at least 3 million jobs lost in Bush's last year.

Thank you for demonstrating for everyone how truly delusional and biased you are. Yes.....as I said...every bad thing that happened during your heroes tenure was the result of Clinton....every good thing that has happened in Obama's tenure is the result of Bush...and you completely avoid the financial mess that Bush created in this country and blame it on Obama. Classic Con game here.

Obama made a campaign he would get OBL even if he needed to go into Pakistan.

I remember that and the fact that McCain said he would notify the Pakistani's 1st meaning Bin Laden would have been moved and the chance lost. It was like they were protecting him rather than hunting him and I would like to know why.

It is amusing that you point to job growth as a metric of success when Clinton alone created more jobs than Reagan and the 2 Bushes combined. It's time for you to tell us what you liked about those GOP losers given their obvious lack of job creation. You talk about slow job growth and the last Republican left office with LESS jobs a negative job creation score. While you are digesting that you can look at Obama's score compared to Saint Reagan.

By the way.... This is the best private sector jobs creation performance in American history

Economic growth, including manufacturing, is driving jobs

When President Obama took office America was gripped in an offshoring boom, started years earlier, pushing jobs to the developing world. Manufacturing was declining in America, and plants were closing across the nation.

This week the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) released its manufacturing report, and it surprised nearly everyone. The latest Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) scored 59, two points higher than July and about that much higher than prognosticators expected. This represents 63 straight months of economic expansion, and 25 consecutive months of manufacturing expansion.
