Can we please get some FACTS from the so-called news media. It’s not their job to make Obama look good.

The Republicans are to blame for Obama’s low approval rating? LOL

Yes it is. Perhaps the public is catching on to this petulant dictator wannabe.

Of course they do. And Eastasia has always been at war with Oceania...

Doing an excellent job there, MSM (a.k.a Ministry of Truth).

Given the propensity of the public to swallow whatever the MSM feeds them, I conclude that these numbers are pretty damn good.

I couldn’t get to the actual poll results (link at end of article which is linked above), but it appears this is another poll with a Democrat bias. If Obama is doing this badly in this poll, then he is doing pretty badly.

Also explains why he is calling the house dems to the WH this morning. He has painted himself into another corner.

I believe the subsidy can be sent by the government directly to the insurance company every month, or you can get it at the end of the year as a tax credit. At least that’s the way the California exchange is explaining it. I would imagine most low-income people would take the first option.

The GOP needs a simple sound bite to get thru to the idiots:

"The Republicans have passed legislation to fund the government and end the shutdown; the Democrats in the Senate and the President are blocking it".

Even an idiot can understand that.

see my post above. Looks like Nixo had a 29, obviously from Watergate. 37 looks like a new low.

Unless I'm seriously mistaken, he was at 43 a week ago.

"Among the survey's findings:

— More than 4 in 5 respondents felt no personal impact from the shutdown"

Americans starting to realize that "non-essential government worker" really does mean non-essential government worker...

Sure they get the blame. That is why Obama’s approve rating is dropping.

I watch the approval ratings consistently. I can’t recall Obama’s disapproval numbers ever being in the 30s before. Even if the Republicans are getting the blame for the shutdown, this is hurting Obama. He’s getting the blame for the barry-cades, and most people vote their emotions at the voting booths.

What sticker shock?

I know 4 people that have had their plans cancelled including a life, home, auto, health, and Mutual Fund Agent!

Wait until they get the sticker shock from the Penalties, it is not $95, more like thousands, see my earlier post today...

To: HawkHogan; All

“Generally, dereliction of duty refers to failure through negligence or obstinacy to perform one’s legal or moral duty to a reasonable expectation. In other words, it means willful or negligent failure to perform assigned duties or performing them in a culpably inefficient manner. Dereliction of duty is a specific offense in military law. “ (Quote from USLegal.com).

Dereliction of duty is an Impeachable Offense, as stipulated in the US Constitution. Dereliction of duty is also a US Military offense subject to a Courts Martial.

Will our sorry Congressional RINOs do their usual kid gloves, “boys will be boys” approach to Obama’s numerous violations of the US Constitution, or will they FINALLY draw up The Articles of Impeachment for B. Hussein Obama?
