CNN Poll: Was Bush better president than Obama?

Rasmussen has him at 46, Gallup has him at 41%. Newsweek poll is skewed highly Democrat per the *

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Obama Job Approval

Why would anyone but the brain dead support Obama with the results he has generated? What exactly has he done that deserves support? Anyone that supports him buys the rhetoric and ignores the results.

Higher unemployment each month of 2010 vs. 2009
4 million less employed today than when he took office
over 3 trillion added to the debt
unfunded mandates to the states with Obamacare
1.6% GDP growth which is down vs. 2009.

One of these days Obama supporters are going to wake up and wonder what happened.

Total Obama=66,882,230 53.0%......................McCain=58,343,671 46.0%....Electoral votes D.365 R.173

So with a 41% Gallup poll today he lost 12% of his supporters, how do you explain it?

That was 2 years ago. Among the intellectually honest, there's been a ton of buyer's remorse since then.

That doesn't mean those supporters won't come home during an election of TWO candidates, does it? Reagan had low poll ratiings as well. Poll number mean very little at this point.

Yep, some people simply aren't smart enough to see that they have been duped. No one that looks at the record will be voting for any candidate supported by Obama. Still waiting for an answer from you to the questions raised. then tell me why you continue to support Obama, Let's see if you can admit who you really are?
 
So you cannot explain it? Thought that would be the case.

The gipper had a October of second year of 42%, Bill Clinton had a 44%, so I guess he can pull it out by the time the Presidential comes around in two years; much to the chagrin of the wingers and the party on no.

The last thing this country needs is for the voters to return the country to the fools that caused the worst recession since the big one in the thirties. Hopefully the voters will come to their senses in ten days. :shock:
 
Name for me any President in U.S. History that had worse unemployment numbers one year AFTER a recession ended. Name for me one President in U.S. History who one year after the recession had higher unemployment each month than when the recession ended so Obama is the issue, not Bush.

There are of course two better questions:

  1. Under which president did the Savings & Loans need to be bailed out? And-
  2. Under which president did the commercial banks need to be bailed out?

The country turned this govt. over to those that helped create it and did nothing to prevent it, the Democrats.

The "Gipper" understood free enterprise and capitalism and implemented a pro growth economic agenda cutting taxes 25% over three years. The "Gipper" believed in the American people and entreprenuerial spirit. The "Gipper" turned the American spirit loose. Obama believes in the Govt. and wealth redistribution. Obama is no "Gipper."
 
There are of course two better questions:

  1. Under which president did the Savings & Loans need to be bailed out? And-
  2. Under which president did the commercial banks need to be bailed out?

Under this President there are 16 million unemployed Americans, 3 trillion added to the debt, the largest expansion of govt. in U.S. history, 1.6% economic growth the year AFTER a recession. Those are the results that the American people see and candidates that support Obama have to run on.
 
You still want to blame Obama for what happen under Bush's watch. The economy is dues to the excesses in Wall Street and the big financial institutions. Whether or not the economy is Bush's fault, it still happened during his watch as president not during Obama's presidency. Much of the debt today is due the policies implemented during the Bush administration.

OBTW, the Wall Street Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch, hardly a leftist.

Unemployment went up under Obama. Obama said the stimulus would help it has not.

both are excellent questions...
 
both are excellent questions...

LOL, those are excellent questions but "where are the jobs" isn't? An excellent question is why unemployment is up each month of 2010 vs. 2009 after spending 862 billion dollars, why? An excellent question is name for me an economic prediction of Obama's that has been accurate?

"your" empty suit President is a disaster and you cannot admit that you were duped by his rhetoric.

Unemployment is up EVERY month of 2010 vs. 2009 and that is after the end of the recession. No other President in U.S. history had 16 million Americans unemployed.
 
Hhmmm.. strange that you would say that “the poll numbers show a decline in his job approval “when his numbers have actually went from 54% from the 48% he had in September.

Another thing that is troubling, why you want to ignore history (the bush presidency) when you say in the first paragraph of your post ” to continue to focus on the past is just your way of ignoring the present then three paragraphs down you create a history strawman quiz” Name for me any President in U.S. History that had worse unemployment numbers one year AFTER a recession ended. “Very puzzling. :confused:


(President Obama’s approval ratings have jumped substantially, crossing the magic halfway threshold to 54 percent, up from 48 percent in late September, while the portion of respondents who disapprove of the president dropped to 40 percent, the lowest disapproval rating in a NEWSWEEK Poll since February 2010.)

i see that again, i have to remind you that he is 'your' president as well....exactly how was i duped? lets see.......vote again for the group of(republican) idiots that led us down the path of economic ruin, or vote for something different(obama), and see where it leads...unlike you, i will hold my representatives accountable, and they won't get my vote from me if i don't believe they are making an effort to keep the country going in the right direction...i won't vote for someone 'just because' they are a republican or democrat, or independent, unlike you, who blindly gives his loyalty to the republican party. i used to be a reliable republican vote, no more....after several elections of being continuosly lied to, enough is enough...vote for us!! vote republican!! we will cut taxes, balance the budget, create jobs and prosperity for all!! vote republican!!! yet all i seen was budget deficit after budget deficit, the poor getting poorer, the rich getting richer, tax breaks for corporations that were sending our jobs overseas...now exactly, why should i want to see republicans in power anytime soon?? they could use a good 25-30 years out in the political wilderness to straighten them out.

Yes, he is my President too but the "your" means someone I believe you voted for and continue to support.

You get caught up in the rhetoric and ignore the actual facts. Fact is that Democrats controlled the Congress when we went into recession ONE YEAR after they took control. Fact is you ignore that Bush had 52 straight months of strong economic growth and positive job growth so yes, I would love to get back to that. Stop buying the rhetoric and tell me what Obama has done that has made things better?

Then you come up with the "blindly voting for a Republican" bs. I am a conservative, proud of it. I grew up a Democrat but have always been a conservative. There are not conservatives in today's Democrat Party thus not one Democrat I could support today.

This country cannot afford 25-30 of this kind of economic polocy, so answer the question, what economic prediction or policy has Obama made that has been accurate and made things better?

this country can't afford another round of republican leadership at this time. and the 'bs' part...i think i have you pegged right, if the name doesnt have an (R) in front of it, you won't vote for that person, your default setting is (R)

I asked you a specific question and you ignored it going back to the liberal talking points. Exactly what did the Republicans do that caused the crisis we have today and why didn't the Democrat controlled Congress prevent it from happening?

As stated, and of course it went right over your head, I am a conservative. Who in the Democrat Party today is a conservative? Anyone that supports what Obama is doing isn't a conservative and you know it.

This pretty much says it all yet you want to ignore it and make me the issue. This is the same picture all around the country so Randel, you are out of touch with reality and actual results don't matter to you as you continue to buy the rhetoric.

Ohio Senate - Portman vs. Fisher
RCP Average: Portman +19.5

Ohio Governor - Kasich vs. Strickland
RCP Average: Kasich +4.2

you seem to ignore the rest of that poll, which shows kasich's support flattening out, and strickland's on the rise....also, the contest is rated a tossup, not the sure thing you are making it out to be...kasich's ties to lehman may very well be his undoing, as the last thing ohio needs is someone so closely tied to the meltdown.

I grew up in Ohio and just came back from two weeks in Ohio. Seems you live there and cannot see what is going on around you. It is depressing to see that state suffer like it has under Strickland. It seems the majority there are "getting it" as they should. Strickland saw over 440,000 jobs leave the state and was on watch when a once great state became a mediocre state with high unemployment and malaise.

Your ideology will not allow you to see the real problem thus you buy what you are told. "Your" President's economic policy is a disaster and the people of Ohio see it just like the people around the country see it. Results matter more than rhetoric thus you and others can blame Bush, blame past Republican leadership but Ohio has been under Democrat control for 4 years and things are much worse than they were under a Republican Gov. and Republican President. Cite facts, not your personal opinions.
