Obama's approval rating at 45%

Which hype, exactly, stated (or even implied) that "The government is going to fix all your problems?" Do you have links?

Before I waste my time digging up links, answer me this. Do you think Obama was elected due to rugged, good looks? Maybe it was his vast political experience? Wait, maybe it was because he was so well spoken without his telemprompter.

...or, JUST MAYBE, people bought in to his rhetoric and broken promises packaged as "Change."

To my knowledge, no media source would be as suicidal as to specifically state that the government could "fix" everything, but that doesn't stop people from hearing what they want to hear.





(p.s. I know...It didn't help any that the previous administration had botched things up so effectively either.)

Well, there ya go. You've made it quite clear what you want to hear. ;)
 
This is what happens when your entire resume can be sritten in 18-point type on a single square of toilet paper.....with white space to spare.

The country has no confidence in this rookie to understand or solve anything.

Too true :rofl
 
I bet when Ramussen, Gallop and Zogby were putting GB at 28%, the Libbos were hailing those numbers as the most accurate in history. Now, when things are going against their boy, it's all BS.

Isn't it fascinating watching the irony of Liberal talking points about Bush smack them back?

Here's another interesting fact, Obama's represents the third largest drop of approval from any President including Bush, since I believe before WWII.

What does this all mean? Americans are temporarily returning to reality and recovering their sanity perhaps?

:2wave:

You don't have to search far to find the hype... how about this nugget from Time's Man of the Year article!

He hit the American scene like a thunderclap, upended our politics, shattered decades of conventional wisdom and overcame centuries of the social pecking order.

Obama 'upended our politics?' How? By defeating yet another moderate, relatively unpopular, aging, and (yes) crippled GOP war hero who made without a doubt the most disturbing VP selection since Dan Quayle?'

He shattered 'decades of conventional wisdom?' Which conventional wisdom was that? The inside the Beltway conventional wisdom that the Clinton Machine was unbeatable?

He overcame centuries of the social pecking order? How? By becoming the first black president? This isn't 1964 America, folks. Get over it. Few people care that he's black.

:roll:

People elected him because the majority agreed with his policies.
 
45% and going down like a led zepplen
 
Maybe if Obama's rating gets down to 28%....the GOP might actually have a shot.

Even Sarah Palin might have a shot! :doh

What policies were those? He consistently changes his stance, still has no idea what he stands for and has broken quite a few of his campaign promises already...

it will be that low at this rate but don't assume that palin is what we all want she is just better than obama that doesn't make her presidential:roll:

People elected him because the alternative wasn't as appealing.

It's as simple as that.

Every election boils down to a choice between two alternatives.

Considering how absolutely unappealing the GOP ticket was this go-round, ANY democrat nominated would have won. Policies had very little to do with it.

End of story.

Two words, "stimulus package". Remember how that had to be passed, immediately, to stave off disaster?

Never have we heard the current government claim that the private sector could fix the economy. So far, all we've heard is that the private sector is to blame for the recession.

Reagan traded arms with terrorists Carter stood up to them.

People vote for the least unappealing of the two candidates. Always.

Jimmy Carter was a disaster and was voted out overwhelmingly after one term.

Clinton and Bush were both average presidents who managed to hold on to second terms because they were just slightly more appealing than the alternatives. Despite all the fawning over the Clinton years in the MSM, Clinton never managed to win even 50% of the popular vote, something Bush, at least, accomplished in 2004.

:)
 
Yet even GWB, who some was hated by the Left, did as good or better in the polls than Obama at this stage of the game.

GWB first 100 days = 62%

Obama = 63%
Gallup poll: Obama approval at 63% - First Read - msnbc.com

In fact, all but Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter had higher approval ratings about 100 days after taking office. That is why the early months of new presidencies are commonly known as "the honeymoon period."

What History Foretells for Obama?s First Job Approval Rating


Obama's HIGHEST approval ratings place him in 10 place against the last 12 US Presidents beating only Nixon and Reagan. I don't see how anyone can spin this any other way than he is heading down faster than almost all the previous 11 Presidents.

Once Tax payers get the BILL for the Democrat largess and once they see the economy is getting worse not better, it is likely he will serve as another one term President and have disastrous consequences for the Democrat Party which will last only as long as the Republicans avoid being as stupid as they were from 2004 to 2006.

Slight correction in my opinion; every election boils down to a choice between the LESSER of TWO evils.

True. Last year was the first election in which I wrote in a candidate. I held my nose and voted before. Never again.

:cool:
 
Well would you post some facts for once otherwise I'm going to report you for trolling.

How ironic; so let me understand your hysterical definition of trolling: you troll a thread with a one line false claim that is not even remotely connected to the thread topic, then get called on the false claim and you claim I am trolling? You're kidding me right.

You made the FALSE claim, YOU are called on it; it isn't up to me to prove it was false, that will come when you attempt to support your false claims with FACTS and links.

Carry on; your laughable attempts to troll threads and then project your trolling onto someone else are truly comedic.
 

How does this support the false claim that Reagan sold arms to terrorists? In what context do you believe such farcical claims?

While you are at it, also explain what this topic has to do with the thread topic other than troll it and drag it off the topic in an effort to avoid honest debate.

From your source:

It began as an operation to improve U.S.-Iranian relations, wherein Israel would ship weapons to a relatively moderate, politically influential group of Iranians; the U.S. would then resupply Israel and receive the Israeli payment. The Iranian recipients promised to do everything in their power to achieve the release of six U.S. hostages, who were being held by the Lebanese Shia Islamist group Hezbollah, who were unknowingly connected to the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. The plan eventually deteriorated into an arms-for-hostages scheme, in which members of the executive branch sold weapons to Iran in exchange for the release of the American hostages.
