"..but the narcissist say's "it's not about me"...????"
Obama is not alone in facing a challenging second year in office -- Bill Clinton (43%), Ronald Reagan (42%), and Jimmy Carter (40%) all were below the majority approval level in July of their second year. Of course, each of those presidents saw his party lose a substantial number of seats in that year's midterm congressional elections, though both Reagan and Clinton recovered in time to win a second term as president.
Imagine if he had a hostile media?
Isn’t this approaching the “point of no return”?
Works for me.
In other news, 38% of independent voters have been proven to have brain damage.
the bottom line is also the fact none of those presidents mentioned started with such high approval numbers compared to dumbama and hence- none of the presidents mentioned saw such a huge drop in their numbers...
rat-wingers try to start this argument with me all the time with the Reagan comparison- and when I point out Reagan came into office with an approval rating of 57% versus dumbama, whose number was closer to 70%, they walk away uncomfortable...
“Obama maintains the support of 81% of Democrats”
We are indeed “two Americas” and one would be quite happy living with the same leadership as Zimbabwe
Is it any wonder they are going after the Hispanic vote with this fight against Arizona? He looses the Independents and it’s all over - unless he can gain a significant amount of another demographic.
I know. The thing is though that Reagan was implementing an agenda that improved the economy, and Clinton adapted and moved "right" with welfare reform. Also, the country supported the "contract with America" and was not as unhappy by 2006. I don't see that sort of thing coming together this time. Obama will never track right and there is not a unified coherent strategy being articulated the Republicans this time around. I think the electorate will still be angry in 2012.
America and its people are 2 different nations.
If the folks with the money to expand their business and hire people after the midterm elections, I’ll say it again, we will get Obama for 2 terms. I can’t believe I would wish for high unemployment to continue just to get his scraggly ass out of the WH, but it’s coming to that for me.
This time may be different, I’m not so sure that people’s memories will fade so quickly when 2012 comes around even if things improve after a Republican congress emasculates this usurper and prevents him from doing more harm. Our tax burden is set to increase because the Bush tax cuts are expiring, and the business community may still think that it’s time to keep going Galt to protect their livelihoods. I’m just not sure this time that these folks will breathe a sigh of relief even after the Republicans take over congress. This weirdo is that scary

Using the three sample groups, the average approval is 43.6%. Which means, the polls is weighted in the Dems favor.
“Republicans remains low, at 12%”
If you support Obama and yet call yourself a Republican you need to do some deep soul searching or you are certifiable mental!
Obama has a Congress egging on his most absurd economic dogmas and an economic plan that is absolutely contrary to everything that would inspire economic growth. The proper President to compare Obama to is neither Clinton ,nor Regan, but Carter.
Obama has the same fiscal/domestic/foreign policies as Carter. He is Jimmy Carter 2.0
None of them started off with the super high 70%+ approval ratings that 0bozo started off with. 0bozo has fallen faster and deeper than anyone else.
And none of them had the 99% approval ratings amongst blacks that 0bozo has right now. Given the high concentration of blacks in east/west coast big cities and states, his super high approval amongst blacks may not be too helpful to him for electoral votes come 2012, if his really low approval amongst whites continues to go lower. Plus of course, none of the others was a hard core Marxist. 0bozo is.

True, but there are some other things to consider. Clinton lost control of congress , especially telling was the House went republican for the first time in 40 years. HillryCare failed, and the new congress dragged Clinton to the center, did the contract with America and welfare reform. We had the internet boom AND cheap energy prices, so Clinton was saved from himself in a sense.
Reagan lost congress, but his tax cuts brought about an unprecedented boom.
The closest comparison to Hussain would be Jimmy "my name is Earl" Carter. He was weak, had no clue about the economy and brought about the rise of the mullahs in Iran. Hussain is basically Jimmy Carter on steroids. The only difference is that Hussain has the MSM in his pocket and a lot of Soros money to back him up. Plus he has ZERO regard for the constitution.
Remember, that only 20% of the nation now call themselves "Liberal" so that essentially is 16.8% of the country. I have always used the 80/20 rule for most things. Rule for just about every in life... 80% of the people are good and productive where 20% are F-ing unproductive, commie imbeciles!
