What part of the Bible is that description in? The Book of Fantasy? Oh wait, I forgot. That's the entire Bible.
Obama acts like a Canadian
Guess many Canadians are flattered the USA is trying to follow Canada with regards to healthcare.....maybe we should have informed him its going to bankrupt Canada in 10 years and there are better countries to copy.

Presidential approval tracker:
The Gallup organization first started asking Americans how they approved of the job the president was doing in the 1940s. See how each president since then has fared in the approval poll, look at some news events that influenced public opinion and compare how approval ratings evolved for each president.

Bankruptcy is unlikely. Canada spends only 9% of its GNP on health care which compares favourably with a number of countries. What Canada needs to do is follow the more efficient British and French models and put more of its doctors on salary as well as cutting out the private health care companies in Canada. Then it would be possible to offer health services equivalent to those countries.
"Thanks Mr. old news guy.
When he gets below Bush's lowest let me know."
Avro, I gave you statitics/poll results comparing Obama's popularity to that of GW Bush, in the same period of their respective Presidency.
You, in your infinite wisdom (or typical liberal idiocy) came back with a response which is unknown and unknowable, at least for a while.
You quoted a poll showing GW Bush's popularity at the END of his two year term.
Obama will be lucky if he serves out one term without being impeached for the unconstitutional atrocity of his health care bill that he shoved thru with bribes, buyouts, coercion and threats.
Hardly fair, is it?

I merely said let me know when he gets lower than Bush and you spun it into something it wasn't.
Impeached? Hahahhahahhaaahahahhahhahhaharharharharhar...what a maroon.:roll:
I chose this to the thread wherein I make my first post, just because it's not as serious as some of the other threads I've seen.
A significant portion of Obama's dropping job approval is a bunch of Americans who didn't like him, didn't vote for him, but nonetheless gave him their approval right after he was sworn in. That easily brings him down to 53% approval (his percentage of the popular vote in 2008) by itself.
Nevertheless, Obama isn't perfect by any means, but he's doing better than most US presidents of the past.

President Obama and congressional Democrats face an uphill climb to reclaim the support of independent voters who vaulted them to the White House and huge majorities in Congress in 2008.
At the end of the bitter, intensely partisan battle to pass Mr. Obama's health care overhaul plan, independent voters, once captivated by hopeful campaign promises, are feeling burned and appear eager to oust Democrats in November's midterm elections.
"There is an overall sense of frustration that no one is listening," pollster Scott Rasmussen said about a problem that has plagued the political party in power for decades.
Mr. Rasmussen said the more pressing issue for Democrats is that swing voters are not just anxious about health care; they're also angry about the stimulus package and auto industry bailouts.
"It is gathering steam in the sense that the longer the frustration goes unanswered, the more it grows," said the founder and president of Rasmussen Reports.
Independent voters turn angry
Democrats no longer ride tide of support
In 2008, Mr. Obama's hope and change messages seemed to win over independents, and he captured about 52 percent of the independent vote in the election that year.
Self-identified independents continued to back Mr. Obama through June, with about 60 percent saying they approved of his job performance. But as the year wore on and the health care battle gained steam, their approval of the president plummeted and hardened in the low 40s, according to Quinnipiac University polls.

I'm not too terribly worried about the Democrats' chances in the November midterms. It's rare for a party to pick up, like, 40 seats in the House and 9 seats in the Senate (which is what the Republicans would need to do to win back control of each chamber).
In the House, the Dems that are going to lose will be the centrist Blue Dog Dems, who have been voting against most of Pelosi's and Obama's agenda anyway.
If the Dems have a situation where they lose Blue Dogs in the House while keeping their majority, and lose some Senate seats but gain some other Senate seats, I think they'll be satisfied.

Avro, you quoted my post in vain hope to bolster your weak argument.
In my post that you quoted, I said it quite clearly, that what you wanted me to do (i.e. lower rating for Obama than that of Bush at the end of Bush's term) was not possible, because Obama, obviously is nowhere near the end of even of his first term. I am confident that Obama will never reach the end of his second term, because there will not be one.
Your posts, one after another, make sigh: Mr Diefenbaker, where are you now, that we need you?

Oh yeah, back to my original point, I said only "a significant portion" of Obama's dropping approval rating is from a bunch of people who didn't like him to begin with but nonetheless gave him approval. Which is true. After the inaguration, Obama had an unsustainable approval rating in the high 60% range.
His political enemies were trying to make even his drop down from that seem like a real problem for him when it wasn't.
The loss of some independent voters who supported him in 2008 is more concerning, but it's much more normal than the way critics make it seem.
