LATimes ^

About seven out of 10 Americans are unhappy with how President Obama is handling the economy, a new low that represents a significant decline since mid-May on the one of the most politically sensitive issues, the Gallup poll reported Wednesday.

According to the poll, just 26% of those surveyed approved of the president’s handling of the economy, while 71% disapproved. Obama earned comparably poor approval ratings for his handling of the federal budget deficit and creating jobs, at 24% and 29%, respectively.

The only people who approve are those who get Obama money from his stash.

People who can't tell you what their own names are most of the time for sure.

It's the only sensible answer available.

I would bet it’s the inner cities that make up the 29%. I think they are called “Flash Mobs”.

Emphasis on the young fools, especially the vast majority of whom are attending our public schools & universities and allowing themselves to indoctrinated by socialist, totalitarian commie pig professors & classmates.

They were saying the same thing in the NY Post today. If Bam Bam is having problems in NY and Cali things are not going well in the White Hut.

“this numbskull will never admit Obama has done anything wrong.”

And if he ever gets fired for a “screw-up”, it “won’t be his fault”.

Welfare freeloaders. Their welfare checks are still showing up in the mail. To them, the economy is good. They got their Oboma money.

From the interviews with the “average Joes” attending the Obama bus tour rallies, he has 100% approval. “He cares”, he “needs more time”, “he’s got a good heart”, “he’s trying, but the republicans won’t LET him fix the economy”.

I can only imagine how low his approval would truly be if most networks weren’t being illegally paid to campaign for him and defend his every action or lack thereof at any cost...

Bush stayed in the 30’s while being demonized by every major television network in the world...

The Muzzie scum is almost there even WITH them practically killing their networks (ratings and programming wise) rushing to his defense and rescue...pathetic bunch of clowns and mongrels aren’t they?

Are they “real citizens”
or carefully vetted Dumbocrats?

But, but I thought the Tea Party was to blame for the budget deficit debacle and our credit being downgraded? That's what the MSM told us, and they said their polls showed the majority agreed with them.

I doubt many normal people would show up to hear him give his "Steal the Wealth" speech again, and again, and again. They've already heard it about 100 times already.
Would you have gone?
Me neither. I'd rather fold towels. It's more exciting.
