In the wake of the Paris terror attacks, President Obama has earned his worst rating on his handling of terrorism in his career.

Currently, 54 percent of U.S. adults disapprove of the way in which Obama is handling terrorism threats, the worst such rating in his White House career, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Friday. Forty-three percent of Americans disapprove strongly of the president's handling of terror threats.

Americans are particularly critical of Obama's response to the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIL or ISIS), the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks in Paris and that has also threatened attacks on the United States. Fifty-seven percent of U.S. adults disapprove of Obama's handling of IS, with 46 percent doing so strongly. ...

Very well stated, and so true. It is evident by all the shows on cable, all trash and the horrible thing is people understand it.

“That means, according to this poll, a full 46% shockingly approve of how he is handling terrorism.”

NO it doesn’t! You need to actually look at the poll, only 40% approve. The others
(that would be 6%) evidently are too stupid to have an opinion at all.

But Obama doesn’t care what anyone thinks so its kind of moot.

The voting public wants to not need to know much a all. Its too disturbing to get involved with the issues. Its too divisive to hold an opinion contrary to the big bosses. Afterall, you could get cut off from the govenrment cheese.

Oh my gosh. That means 46 approve of his handling Terror. That number is too high. Of course the President is pretty much done so all he has to do is keep himself out of trouble and he will get 400K for the rest of his life and write a book or two. He’s got it made.

And people wonder why many of the Senate and House Republicans act the way they do.

The stupidity of the American voter is epic and getting much, much worse as educational standards plummet and political and cultural indoctrination takes over the curriculum

Right now the White House would be proud if they can even rise to the level of mediocrity

The poor in this country still view him as their Robin Hood.

They don’t yet know they are his fodder for Islam. They will, soon enough. He has set it loose. It’s here and it’s stalking them. We know that. The FBI tells us.

Gays, by definition, have no future. They are selfish. When their life expires, all that is of any value to them is gone.

They could care less if a child born tomorrow gets acid thrown in her face for daring to go to school. It won’t be their daughter. It’s not their future.

We have a muslim, marxist, racist president, and 54% disapprove of his actions? That is about right, since 50% of our population falls on the LEFT side of the Bell Curve.

“Nothing this idiot has done would ever be called great, or even good ... or even mediocre.”

I disagree. History will be whitewashed and changed to reflect the first president from a protected ethnicity as a marvelous example of the achievements of minorities. Your grand-kids will go to Barack Obama elementary school after taking the bus on Barack Obama Boulevard. They will get books from Barack Obama public library, and live in a house on Obama Avenue. All references to his failures will be omitted from class curricula, and constant brainwashing in the educational system will have a new generation thinking of him as nearly a saint, at least a superman.

The public’s memory is very short. How many kids in junior high know who Jimmy Carter, or Andrew Johnson, or LBJ are, much less their many failures? They’re only names on a list of presidents, nothing more. As will BHO, only his will be an all-glorious name.

I see this constantly here in Latin America, where kids of certain countries have been led to nearly worship Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and more recently Hugo Chavez and Daniel Ortega, never learning or hearing about their records of oppression, violence and their abject failures as leaders. How many teenage girls to this day practically worship Eva Perón and Imelda Marcos, and try their level best to emulate “Evita”? I can see the same happening with Obama and Michelle, especially among certain ethnic and political groups.

Geeezzzz, I hope I’m wrong!

It is an observation by someone who knows of the suffering under the Nazis and Communists. It is not advocating anything.

You are reading something into it that is not there. It is simply an accurate observation.
