Obama Laughs Off Negative Poll Numbers to Barbara Walters: ‘Nowhere to Go But Up’ (Video)
Mediaite ^ | November 29th, 2013 | Josh Feldman

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama sat down with Barbara Walters for a wide-ranging interview that aired Friday night, and the first issue Walters brought up was the president’s record low approval numbers. But Obama just shrugged them aside as the hazards of the job, joking, “The good thing about when you’re down is that usually, you’ve got nowhere to go but up.”

Walters brought up Obama getting booed at a basketball game. The First Lady said, “It’s part of the job,” and said she’s gotten booed as well, though Walters did point out her numbers have always been a bit better than her husband’s.

Obama is at roughly the same popularity level that George W. Bush was at at this poing in his presidency, but the current officeholder dismissed the poll showing people no longer consider him trustworthy. When Walters brought up his comment from years ago about preferring to be a good one-term president than a mediocre two-term one, Obama joked that he’d love to be a good two-termer if he had his druthers.

This is typical of a wild-eyed, egomaniacal narcissist.

His brain will not let him allow the option of even thinking any of this has anything to do with HIS actions or failings. He is a clear and present danger to the safety and security of this country.

Clearly, Obummer is as good as math as he is in being president. Hey numbnuts, 37% means you have plenty of room to go down, you fraud.

No where to go but up? Actually, there’s up, down, stay the same and my favorite... out.

Plenty of numbers left below 37. I guess math wasn’t your strong point in school...what was?

“I got re-elected in part because people did think I was trustworthy and they knew I was working on their behalf,” Obama said in the network’s exclusive.

It wasn’t managing...

In Friday’s interview, Obama said he was looking for answers soon on why the rollout failed so spectacularly.

“Obviously my most recent concern has been that my website’s not working,” Obama said. “We’re evaluating why it is exactly that I didn’t know soon enough that it wasn’t going to work the way it needed to. But my priority now has been to just make sure that it works.”

Why should Obama worry about his popularity when he has accomplished what he planned to do?

Things can only get worse and that is exactly his plan.

He doesn’t believe any of it. Hence the pathetic drama device of Michelle talking about ‘promises’ and his “I keep them” bullshit in the interview with Barbara Walters.

The real tragedy of all this is that his 100 million entitlement leeches just plain don’t give a shit as long as the EBT cards still keep getting charged up each month.

We are done for as a free, working society inhabited by honest and hardworking peoples.

Notice it is “my” website. Everything is about him, except when blame is to be assigned.

Did Stalin care about his poll numbers? Did Pol Pot?

THIS is why Obama laughs.

I guess “jobs” are no longer his focus. Good, maybe some will be created.
