Obama's job approval score has sunk to 47 percent

There's that number again

As the Bible says, “when you sow in the wind, you reap the whirlwind.”

[Diogenesis]

"We give the Media kickbacks, payoffs, and protection from the IRS.
THEY will NEVER desert me for stupid, worthless Americans."

[fwdude]

Keep in mind that whatever is visible is merely the tip of the iceberg.

[fwdude]

Rasmussen had him at 51% approval today.

Ras has lost all veracity, in my opinion.

[gov_bean_ counter]

As McCain observed Monday on CBS's "This Morning" in a delicious bit of understatement, administration officials are "not covering themselves with distinction here."

Says the man who barely put up a fight in the general election and famously said we have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.

I wonder if he still believes that. Do any pressies have the guts to ask???

[V_TWIN]

I hate to sound like debbie downer but I really think obama will survive all of it. I mean fast and furious bounced off of him like a rubber ball..............Hope I’m wrong but I dunno.

[Oratam]

The Today show actually mentioned the mounting scandals and their effect on his poll numbers. Low Information Voters may catch on.

[Red Badger]

47% of the American People would kiss his ass for an EBT card............

[WayneS]

We are currently witnessing the most corrupt federal government in the history of oure Republic.

I would venture to guess that anything beyond "surface scratching" level scrutiny of ANY federal agency run by political appointees will reveal a complete lack of ethics, morals and/or competency among those in charge of said agency.

Most of them probably do not even know the real purpose or function of the agencies they have been appointed to run - they know only how to use the powers of said agencies against Barack Obama's "enemies".

[laweeks]

So what. When the darkening cloud starts to rain, the sockpuppet Obambi will make a soldier hold an umbrella over him. They don't give a $hit!

[ClearCase_guy]

The headline seems racist.

[No_More_Harkin]

I agree with your cynicism.
If the American people were paying a lick of attention, his poll numbers would be low 30’s.
He simply needs to ride it out until the MSM goes on to new stories, then things will be back to the normal propoganda on how great he is.

FREEPER ACTION ALERT When the Tea Party began heating up---holding massive rallies, and showing up at townhalls to protest Obamacare the arrogant, self-entitled Obamatons surely went ballistic. Does not take much imagination to know the WH con artists were thinking up demonic ways to stop the Tea Partiers who stood in their path.

SIGNIFICANT Remember that the Obamatons also took over the census. When Rahm Emanuel landed at Treasury, he had all the tools at his disposal to target individuals, tea parties, patriot groups, and so on.

=======================================

NOW HEAR THIS---CONTACT YOUR CONGRSSMAN AND THE LOCAL MEDIA WITH THIS MESSAGE: All of the Treasury factotums doing Rahm's bidding need to be identified and brought before Congress to testify under oath. We need to know the specifics WRT Emanuel's activities at Treasury including dates and times when Emanuel consorted w/ the IRS.

===========================================

REFERENCE--WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury--- Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, White House COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

=================================================

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Obama was fond of saying "Tea Parties are a threat to democracy."

Valerie Jarrett ominously warned, they "would not forget" which Americans dd not worship Obama.

[pabianice]

So what? His imbecilic 48% of voters don’t know or care. Plus, critics are racists.

[C210N]

Low Information Voters may catch on...

Indeed, LIV's will catch on... but not because they dig and drill and learn and explore the ins and outs of this scandal plethora... but because the soundbites are negative at the top of each hour and half-hour on the enemedia.

[spokeshave]

President Obama is being hit by new scandals almost weekly in a growing web of investigations and revelations

...and never forget some of the old ones....

[kcvl]

They hide everything they think is damaging to them....

As FReeper randita insightfully posted: To be sure, Democrats were terrified of the Tea Party. Many of them, even those in safe D districts went into hiding because they were confronted with their votes on porkulus, bank bailouts, and Obamacare at any and all public events.

Those that didn’t do a disappearing act revved up SEIU goons to intimidate Tea Party folks. That didn’t work because a good many Tea Partiers were crusty veterans who had faced off against much more fearful enemies than goons in purple shirts. And people started bringing cameras and capturing the fisticuffs (initiated by the SEIU goons).

Many of the cowardly pols went into hiding---resorting to telephone town hall meetings.

2010 Republic election victories was a disaster for Democrats. They couldn’t take the chance that the Tea Party momentum would continue into 2012. The IRS was seeing huge numbers of Tea Party and conservative issue advocacy groups applying for 501(c) status. They had to be stopped at the gate before the ticket was purchased.

Ridiculing and demeaning the Tea Party was not enough. Stronger measures had to be taken to snuff out active participation leading to 2012.......(thus the demonic Obamatons set the IRS targeting in motion).
