Obama`s approval rating drops dramatically

[Icarus27k]

And here is the newest one:

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - President Obama Job Approval

Obama has 45% job approval? 47%, 43%, 51%?

Keep in mind Obama won the 2008 general election with 52.9% of the vote. Not that much of a dramatic difference. Sure it's a little down, but noting to justify Obama critics' attitude of "Look how bad Obama is doing. Let's console ourselves with this."

You also seem to be utterly LAZY. Any person who has any ambition and desire to excell, would not try to save energy by showing disrespect by using acronyms and abbreviations. In case you haven't noticed, I never posted anything as "Y.J.".

OK this is way off topic but the above statement is absolutely false and borders on ridiculous. Abbreviations and acronyms are used throughout professional practices in a variety of industries and settings, with the main rule of usage being know your audience and define the terms if necessary. If you doubt me, just read an annual report for a publicly traded company some time... or a government paperwork dealing with almost any issue you care to choose... or any sort of technical publication. Now this is an informal forum for exhanging information and opinions, I wouldn't expect everyone to know every acronym/abbrevaition for every subject and it may be a tad lazy and even presumptuous to shorten someone else's chosen moniker, but it is not out of place and the rest of your statement was misplaced.

wulfie68, I may not agree with you on many things, but I will always give you enough respect when I address you directly or refer to you, by the name you assigned to yourself on these threads.

In my opinion, that is the sign of respect, and to do otherwise is NOT.

The Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll for today has Obama at 48% approve, 51% disapprove. That's pretty good for Obama on that particular poll. If he crosses into more approve than disapprove on that, I'll be impressed.

According to Rasmussen's own analysis, the improvement for Obama on this poll is that a bunch of liberals/Democrats who were skeptical of Obama have decided they like the health care reform law, and decided they approve of Obama again because of it.

Which brings up a question: if you're so stuck on 'respect' for other posters and yourself, why do you not insist on proper respect for the President of the United States?

 

[YukonJack]

"But higher than Congressional Republicans."

But Congressional Republicans are still higher than Congressional Democrats, especially Pelosi and reid.

 

[Icarus27k]

I always felt that approval ratings for Congress were meaningless. Shocker I know: but a lot of Americans don't know much about Congress. You'd be lucky to find an average American who knows who Nancy Pelosi is.

When President Obama starts posing on these threads and I respond to them, I will respond to him or his posts by whatever name he chooses for himself to appear here. And it will be fully so, not LAZY abbreviations and/or acronyms.

Until then he is just another public figure, open to criticism, judgement, fair or unfair.

Also, when the leftists here begin to show some respect for Sarah Palin, I will begin to show respect for Obama, whose ONLY qualifications for president was simply that he was black (well, half black) in a country feeling guilty and trying to make amends.

Supported by a large portion of freeloading, grade four educated population who thought that the SAviour has finally arrived.

I mean, approval/disapproval of the President is a pretty straight forward question. He's only one person who is constantly high profile. He's always on the news. And his actions or inactions are, generally speaking, not complicated.

With Congress, there's at most 535 people proposing complicated bills that, if you're not a lawyer, are at least hard to read. And they engage in complicated practices like budget reconciliation and filibustering and deem and pass. There are votes held to determine whether you can vote on something that will then allow you to vote on something else.

"Also, when the leftists here begin to show some respect for Sarah Palin, I will begin to show respect for Obama,"

Oooooooooh ooooooooh, Y.J.- there's a crack in your logic. Does Obama's deserving of respect hinge on the disrepect by some oafs of someone else?

Ah. That explains much, grasshopper.

Not at all, JLM. I only meant to say that once someone proves it to me that Obama is (was) more qualified to be President than John McCain and the joke from Delaware, Joe Biden more qualified to be Vice President than Sarah Palin, the respect you want me to show for these Democrat losers has to be EARNED.

Would you say that being a duly elected mayor of a city is deserving less respect than being a Marxist community organizer? Or being a Governor of a state is less deserving than being a State Senator and showing REAL spine voting "PRESENT" 132 times like Obama did?

The real oafs are the losers who fell victim to the promise of false hope and nothing but change in their pockets. JUST because their hoped for saviour was a (half) black man.

TenPenny, you grossly overrate yourself. With comment like that you are hardly even One Penny.

Ah, so. Let the leaves of autumn rest gently upon your sleeping grass, my son.

Icarus27k and TenPenny,

Please refrain from making inane and off-topic remarks. Instead, debate what I said in my post (#72) prove it wrong, tell me why Obama was/is more qualified to be President and Joe Biden more qualified to be Vice President, than the McCain/Palin ticket was.

The fact that they were elected is not a valid argument. It only proves the old adage that you can fool all people sometime.

Won't happen this November and especially not in 2012.

 

[TenPenny]

tell me why Obama was/is more qualified to be President and Joe Biden more qualified to be Vice President, than the McCain/Palin ticket was.

Please, Mr YouKanJerk, do not trouble yourself to tell me what to post and what not to post.

Why is one guy more qualified than another?
Because an election was held, and Obama won.

End of story, Grasshopper.

 

[YukonJack]

Some people were duped by the most worthless and unqualified ticket EVER, some within the United States, and some like you, outside of the United States.

End of story, ZeroPenny.

Actually, it's the reverse.

In a Democracy who the people want makes him qualified.
