Original title: Obama to launch counter-offensive branding GOP contenders 'Tea Party lackeys' as approval rating hits all time low
--------------------------------
President Obama will this week launch a counter-offensive branding the GOP contenders 'Tea Party lackeys' as his approval rating hits an all-time low.

The President's approval rating has dropped to below 40 per cent for the first time, according to Gallup's daily tracking poll.

The poll released last night said found 39 per cent of Americans approve Mr Obama's performance, while 54 per cent disapprove.

The fall comes as Mr Obama launches a political counteroffensive this week, while he's weighed down by wilting support among some of his most ardent backers, a stunted economy and a daily bashing from the slew of Republicans campaigning for his job.

'We've still got a long way to go to get to where we need to be. We didn't get into this mess overnight, and it's going to take time to get out of it,' the President told the U.S. over the weekend, all but pleading for people to stick with him.

Good. Just what we need to counter Union-lackeys like Barack “AFL-CIO” Obama.

"Tea Party Lackeys"

That's the best he can do?

He is so much toast.

"Lackeys?" Perhaps he could make his rhetoric more colorful by adding the adjective "Running-dog", as in "running-dog lackeys of American imperialism the Tea Party". I'm sure it would fire up his hard-core base.

I’ve noticed a pattern with this disaster.

The more his numbers drop, the more child like he becomes

This will backfire. Just ask the voters in Wisconsin how they felt about the Tea Party. The union hacks got their butts handed to them. The same will happen to anyone who follows the advise of the New York Slimes.

Hmmm. According to the White House, the won is on official Presidential business this week. Didn’t know part of his duty was to hurl invectives at more than half of the country.

That’s right, Obama and DNC, in the absence of any rational arguments or plans, just resort to calling names. How infantile.

My thoughts exactly. His rhetoric is straight out of the communist playbook. Next he’ll be referring to the Tea Party as puppets and imperialist aggressors.

I’m proud to be a Tea Party lackey, and part of the cultural and political phenomenon that drives the Tea Party. It sure beats being a union thug and liberal liar.

Lackeys. Importing a bit of Ingsoc terminology, are we, Mr. Kenyan?

Or is it just nostalgia for the good old days of Trotsky?

Wow. It seems that Barry is going to go to old Soviet styles of invectives when the going gets tough.

I consider myself part of the Tea Party.

I have never openly or otherwise joined or signed up, or sent anyone involved a dime. Not one thin dime.I have attended a couple of rallies, I wasn’t asked to register nor to give them anything.

To me people who claim to be leading the Tea Party really are not leading me. I go when an issue concerns me.Tax’s, Debt, and being regulated out of business concerns me.The debt concerns me. Energy costs concern me.Unemployment concerns me and you have done nothing to solve any of these problems. You give away millions on entitlements to people who vote for you and your Democrat sycophants and you call ME a Lackey.

I believe I am the Average Tea party person, and Obama calling me a Lackey merely pisses me off. Ignoring what I, as an American ,have to say pisses me off. Saying that I am responsible for the AA+ rating that YOUR administration earned us by rolling us into more debt, pisses me off.

So go ahead you smelly Usurper keep pissing me and thousands of Patriotic American veterans,and citizens off by ignoring us and bad mouthing us. If you think that will get you elected in 2012, I think you are badly mistaken.

My friend you can kiss this lackey’s buttocks. Wait: I take that back-—I dont want you any where near my buttocks, I am not all that sure of your preferences.

Obama can't come up with the cute little quotes faster than the t-shirts can be pumped out...

Ahem, Mr. President? You already have the DU vote, and I’m pretty sure insulting much of the remaining 80% is not going to garner the votes you need.
