Gallup: Sequester fight (Hussein's idea) sinks Obama’s approval rating
The Hill ^ | 3/05/13 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 03/10/2013 3:37:31 AM PDT by Libloather

President Obama’s approval rating dipped slightly after Democrats and Republicans failed to reach a deal to avoid the sequester, according to a Gallup survey released Tuesday.

Obama’s approval rating had been holding steadily above the 50-percent mark since last October. But over the weekend, following Friday’s sequester deadline, the president’s approval rating fell as low as 46 percent.

Obama averaged 49-percent approval for the week ending March 3, down from the previous week’s average of 51 percent, and down from 53 percent, where he started February. Obama’s highest weekly average in 2013 came shortly before his second inauguration in early January, when he averaged 54-percent approval.

Obama hit the road with campaign-style events ahead of the sequester, seeking to blame Republicans for cuts he said would hamper economic growth and constrain the military. Republicans accused the administration of scare tactics and of striking a “sky-is-falling” tone.

Both sides now see little hope of replacing the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts anytime soon, and have moved on to debating gun and immigration legislation.

Still, Gallup’s latest three-day rolling average shows the president maintaining a positive approval rating overall, with 49 percent of respondents saying they approve and 44 saying they disapprove.

It can’t drop far enough fast enough for me. How can ANYONE approve of this fake person? I am beginning to wonder if he was EVER actually born somewhere or created in a laboratory.

Insulting their intelligence runs a close second.

His approval rating? He can’t be re-elected, he’s got 4 more years. He won’t resign, he won’t be impeached.

It’s painfully obvious that none of our senators or reps minus a few exceptions will stand up to him.

We need a complete and total purge of federal government.

Blah, blah, blah. The takes are now in control. I hope every on of them learn a lesson of their socialist movement that will kill their failed dreams. I want to see every one of them on the streets and eating dog food.

People are starting to call him on his bluffs and he no likey. He’s just a modern day Oz. When push comes to shove he will crumble. He’s pushed way too many buttons and the people are fed and ready to stomp the bully into the ground.

Created by The Communist Party through FMD; used by the Muslim Brotherhood who is being used by The Communist Party. His grandfather, grandmother, and mother were all card carrying members and worked for the CIA in one manner or another; even his stepfather, Sotero, was CIA according to numerous sources. Manufactured and manipulated seems to be more accurate. Even his marriage to Moochie seems to have been arranged and his alleged “Christian” faith turns out to be black hate filled Black Liberation Theology. Whoever wrote “The Manchurian Candidate” was a prophet it seems.

I’m pondering WHY Odumbo gets to select the items to be sequestered instead of Congress who is supposed to control the spending.

Obama’s support from the populace, actually says more about them than him.

Have a little think about all the other things he does with out the authority of congress.
Executive orders that are never discussed outside the oval office, but become law.
He is a one man 'Polit bureau', just as you get in all communist dictatorships.
His puppets in Congress will remain silent and be the good little Commissars they are expected to be.
So of course he gets to select the items to be sequestered, it is the Devine Right of Kings to rule absolutely, he is after all the Devine-most-exaulted-Right-Honourable-Highness Lord Barrack of Obama.

Could somebody get a bucket please, i appear to have made a mess here.

This is just a personal view of things, you did ask. :)

We are in the “Bread(EBT, Unemplyment etc.) and Circuses(NBA,NFL etc.)” phase of the decline. Caesar Obama has seen to it.

There are not enough derogatory words in the Oxford Dictionary to state how I feel about fmd. He sure liked him some lightskinned brown boys...which is why he ended up in Hawaii in the first place.
And he sure liked him some obama. Did you read the poem obama wrote about him?

During the deathcare debate, we learned that the more the American people saw his mug and heard his lips flapping, the less they approved of him.

Liberals don’t care if the majority is against what they do in power. They are against the constitution and against it’s Nation and people. They operate on behalf of foreign and domestic globalists. They have litterally, officially declared war on “domestic terrorists” - vets, constitution supporters, Christians and second amendment supporters. They are manhadling and harassing Americans at the airports and they have left our borders open for foreign invasion at a time of a supposed war against Islamic terrorists.

I’m pretty sure Vernon Jarrett is her father, not father in law. The corruption is a direct blood line.

To paraphrase and consolidate the statements of many authors: The first thing a communist must do is lie, because everything about communism is a lie.
