Obama High-Water Mark 68% Approval
Posted by: Jonathan Garthwaite at 10:33 PM
It's all downhill from here.

You're kidding, right?
What's less than sero?
Tea Party writes: Saturday, January, 24, 2009 11:36 PM
Does this 68%
include the millions of Americans who voted for Palin, voted third party or stayed home in disgust? Nobody asked me, but if you factor in the wind chill, Keith, you can get waay below zero. And it's going down, slowly at first but
once the idolators find out the got took by the Pharoah and the plagues are hitting them, as they will since he's thumbed his nose at God
with his baby killing exec order and his other
reprobate items on his agenda. God doesn't like being mocked, they had a choice between life and death..they chose the one who represents death
by his support of abortion in all forms and including the neglect/exposure of the survivors of Induced Abortion. And by accepting the adulation and worship of his idolators, he's gotten himself on some shaky ground. As bad as it will be for us and the U.S., it will be interesting to see how God deals with this
Pharoah.

he was at 70%
before Tuesday and he hadn't done anything yet. Who do they poll?

"it will be interesting to see how God deals with this"

I'll bet he doesn't do a darn thing.

He never has.

Actually
He was at 82 or so on Monday, what a differnce three or four days make...at this rate he will be in the congressional approval range before you know it...
Wonna writes: Sunday, January, 25, 2009 12:40 AM
That 68% mark will plummet
sooner than some of you think! I am watching closely to see how bad Obama screws, up and how fast he can do it. I believe that 68% mark will be around 18% by the end of 2009. Ronna
Joe writes: Sunday, January, 25, 2009 2:41 AM
So who has the pool on when Obama breaks
40%. Because that is when things are getting bad.
john writes: Sunday, January, 25, 2009 5:24 AM
The MSM are extolling Mr Obama 68%
Mr. Obama took the oath of office on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 so his job approval rating should have started at 100% on inauguration day. One could interpret that his presidential job approval rating has dropped 32% since then.
Dave writes: Sunday, January, 25, 2009 6:10 AM
It Will Go Down
Obama has to make some difficult decisions. What he has to do to clean up the mess left for him will not make very many happy.
IrishMensa writes: Sunday, January, 25, 2009 10:34 AM
Dave
The mess that was left to President Obama wasn't anywhere near the mess that his predecessor inherited...namely a complete disinterest in foreign policy that led to 9-11, a recession brought about by the bursting of the tech bubble that was made worse by the rampant corruption that would make our current CEO's pikers by comparison, the decline in stature of the Presidency brought about by an occupant who spent most of his energy suborning perjury to avoid a sexual harassment charge. Those of you who remember the Carter years might find them to be "the good old days" the way the current administration is doing business.
Cuban Pete writes: Sunday, January, 25, 2009 12:00 PM
One thing we can count on...
...No matter what the polls say, is the emperor's idolatrous, sycophantic minions will zealously show up to post their gratuitous, hateful insults aimed at us; their continuing BDR (from which they will never recover); and their obscene rhetorical contortions, obfuscations, flat out lies, and endless rationalizations of their emperor's follies.
Joe writes: Sunday, January, 25, 2009 12:23 PM
Sweet Princess Caroline, under the bus!
In the middle of Evan Thomas' insidery campaign book, A Long Time Coming, there is a section on early conflict between John McCain and Barack Obama in the Senate, even before Obama was openly running for president. I thought this bit was interesting for more than one reason:


Obama further aliented McCain on the immigration issue. McCain took great political risks on immigration, defying the GOP faithful who wanted to build a wall across the Mexican border and arrest and detain illegal immigrants. Working with Ted Kennedy and a bipartisan group, McCain came up with compromise legislation to create a guest-worker program. Obama asked to join the group. The senators agreed to hang together to vote against amendments from both the right and the left. Some very conservative senators honored the agreement, voting against conservative amendments -- but Obama did not, voting in favor of a number of liberal amendments. After one meeting, Kennedy chewed Obama out for his fickleness. (Months later, asked by a colleague why he had endorsed Obama for president, Kennedy gave a one-word answer: "Caroline.")

Without reading too much into this anecdote, on immigration, at least, Barack Obama took care of his base and John McCain did not, and his base included Caroline Kennedy. She must indeed be a little bitter about now.

I didn't do it.. nobody saw me do it...
You can't prove anything.. say's Bart Simpson.
The liberals made the big mess, they can clean it up .
Pass the chamber-pot to the folks to tythe for the lost cause.
Who's going to pay for B.o. 's ciggies ? They will raise cig. taxes ..again .. to pay for
those illnesses caused by smoking ??
Already the press is clucking and soothing over B.o.s nicotine fits. Secret service must be tired of running behind the barn in cold weather
so Mr. Perfect can catch a quick drag !!

You get your side of a story from a President (clinton) that didnt have a plan and has tried since 9-11 to rewrite his failure in pre 9-11 actions, and from Richard Clark,disgruntled/failed clinton era employee who was "counter terrorism czar" when 9-11 happend and was passed over for the position of deputy director of homeland security. So you side with and defend two guys are proven to have utterly failed. Two guys that knew since 1995 that terrorists were training to fly planes without regard of learning how to land them
http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/09/18/intelligence .hearings/
The "Delenda Plan" (a battle plan to attack al quida) that Clarke and Clinton refer to as their "plan" they passed off to the Bush adminstration was written in August of 1998 but no action ever taken. This is a TWO YEARS before Clinton leaving office and they did nothing. Clinton failing to respond to al-qaida after the first WTC bombing, the Cole, and having an actual written plan are the reasons for the CYA attempted by Clarke/Clinton.

continued...
The whole 9-11 mess was a series of errors and failures by everyone invovled if you want to Monday morning quarterback. The CIA and FBI knew alot of the who what where when of Bin Laden but failed to act. The CIA/FBI were offered intel on Bin Laden and turned it down. Clinton saw Bin Laden on images taken from Drones in Afghanistan in the summer of 2000 and knew exactly where he was, knew exactly where Bin Laden was but did nothing, was offered Bin Laden and refused.

ON and ON and ON we can point fingers.

IN the end,the Patriot act, preemptive attacks (which was a change in US policy) have all worked to prevent another attack, I will even give credit that the plans that Clark authored, the ones not acted upon by the Clinton administration pre 9-11 but imposed after 9-11 by the Bush administration have also worked to keep us safe here at home

End the end, an objective person can see there is enough blame to go around for everyone

9/11 could look like childs play
With this inept and pious group of pantywaists in charge of national security, get ready for the next attack. Whatever you may say of Bush he kept America from another attack for eight years. This administration, like the Clinton administration, think terrorists should be tried in US courts as a law enforcement problem. We saw the results of that flawed thinking. Pacifism does not work with radical Islamic fanatics. The terrorists must surely be laughing their turbans off at the foolish and silly juveniles in charge now. Blubbering Biden may have foretold the truth of new and bolder attacks on American soil without a clue as to why.

"Whatever you may say of Bush he kept America from another attack for eight years."

Not counting the anthrax.

You mean we're safe until 9/11/2009? Good deal.

So Bush kept us safe for eight years (or seven years and four months). And after the first WTC attack, Clinton kept us safe for eight years, six and a half months, until the second. And caught the people who planned and carried out the first attack.

Mr. Obama's Neighborhood:
Meanwhile with friends like this:

Freep.com: You don’t think there is a distinction between domestic bombings … that hurt real people, and John McCain executing a mission over North Vietnam? Is there any difference in kind between those two acts?


Ayers: There is no difference in kind between killing of any human being. Any killing of any human being is a universe lost. Let’s be clear.


If we sat on a stage with Henry Kissinger, Robert McNamara, John McCain, John Kerry, Bob Kerrey, me and whoever else you want to put up there … George Bush. And then you could measure responsibility. And I’d be happy in that context and that company.


Freep.com: They are more guilty than you are?


Ayers: You think so? That’s what I’d love to see. Henry Kissinger is responsible for the death of millions. I’m responsible for the death of no one. Does that distinction not seem to matter? In other words, why am I held up as an example of something beyond the pale. Whereas Kissinger, hey it was normal. He was the secretary of state ... Yeah, he was the secretary of state overseeing an illegal, immoral, genocidal attack on civilians. That is terrorism, pure and simple.


Freep.com: Is there any difference in your view between that action and 2003-09 in Iraq?


Ayers: No.
