Obama's approval ratings in the toilet

[Jim in CT]

And this, of all things, from the New York Times! This is like pravda reporting that Stalin's ratings are down.

And he's in a head-to-head tie with Romney? But all the liberals on TV said the Reoublican primary was killing the GOP candidates? They wouldn't be falsely reporting that, would they?

Heh-heh-heh. Wait till gas hits $5. In all fairness, he doesn't control gas prices (which he's already whining). But when a guy says at his inaugural address,"let today be remembered as the day the waters stopped rising and the planet began to heal", don't blame the sheep for expecting you to have some control over gas prices. That speech, by the way, was when I realized exactly how severly we had just shot ourselves in our collective feet. i mean, THAT'S a narcissist.

I'm sure the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan and potential for conflict with Iran is causing some real concern.

I do agree though, it is pretty funny.

Given the housing situation, overall unemployment, gas prices, and what Spence said, one would think he would be 10 points behind. Clearly, the insanity of the far right is holding the party back. If they had a decent candidate, Obama would be in deep trouble. Although, it is likely that some of it is that a relatively large percentage of people remember the days of shedding a couple hundred thousand jobs a month and the threat of a depression.

you just stated a couple of days ago that all of these factors were nicely shaping up for an inevitable Obama win in November.....

QUOTE=zimmy;926262]By the way Scott, I like how you have grabbed the party line. Looks like the economy is lining up for an Obama win, so we better start talking about underemployment or a Harvard professor or something. Underemployment was a pretty big issue 3 or 4 years ago too. Didn't matter then, did it?[/QUOTE]

You're missing the point. Obama is supposed to be Jesus or all of liberalism is exposed as a fraud.

He only inherited two wars, the most severe recession in decades, a credit crisis, massive defecit spending, skyrocketing energy costs and an Iran hell bent on going nuclear after 8 years of largely being ignored.

If the man can walk on water why isn't gas 2.50 a gallon?

"He only inherited...skyrocketing energy costs "

Spence, as he often does, is making it up as he goes along...

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/...e-under-obama/

"the price of a gallon of regular gas was around $1.79 when Mr. Obama took office"

Spence, you want to recant that statement by any chance? Go ahead, put some magical Spence-spin on that to make it sound other than absurd...

Il love hearing that poor Barack "inherited" all this. Bush wasn't a dictator, the legislative branch sets the legislative agenda, and the Dems controlled that from 2006 - 2010. And from 2008-2010,the Dems control;led EVERYTHING, and even Obama admitted on TV that things are worse now than they were when he got coronated, sorry sworn in.

From whom, exactly, did he inherit all this? Weren't Obama, Biden, and Clinton very big parts of the government prior to 2008?

His numbers on handling the economy are horrific. If you believe his numbers about how many jobs the stimulus "saved", it works out to $250,000 per job. That is completely insane.

There are things he inherited, and I don't blame him for that. But Obama had the ability to do anything he wanted for 2 years, the GOP couldn't stop a single thing. And indeoendents don't like the way he handled things. If he's not responsible for what he inherited, he's responsible for his reactions to those things. People like the way he kills terrorists (largely, he left the Bush anti-terror infastructure in place). People don't like his economic policies, unless they are in unions or green technology, and thus receiving the goodies.

Spence and Zimmy, you (and all libs) just keep thinking he's invulnerable. A Romney/Rubio ticket, combined with $5 gas and unemployment above 8%, will be tough obstacles for Obama. Not insurmountable, but challenging.

"If the man can walk on water why isn't gas 2.50 a gallon?"

He's the one who said the Earth would begin healing the day he took office. You're making fun of the absurdity of those words, but those are HIS words, and I agree they are absurd. They should also frighten anyone who has any ability to think rationally.

Bush wasn't a dictator but Obama is?

Spence, please read my revised post above about the skyrocketing energy costs you say Obama inherited...

Spence, as I posted above, gas was under $2 bucks a gallon when Obama got sworn in. Please enlighten me, what skyrocketing energy costs, exactly, did poor Barack inherit?

The average price of crude dramatically rose under Bush's second term and has continued this trajectory under Obama. Certainly there have been recession based fluctuations in the strength of the US dollar used to trade oil which has been an exacerbating factor...along with global tension and Iran causing a lot of speculation in oil futures. In many areas production is shifting to deep water and oil sands which are more expensive to extract and process.

Obama didn't cause any of this nor is there a lot he can do about it.

Federal gas taxes are already very low so cutting them wouldn't help. We don't have a supply problem to opening up the strategic reserves wouldn't help either...if anything high global energy costs are making domestic refined goods more valuable to growing economies overseas.

Long-term we can work to be more frugal, produce more efficient products and exploit sustainable resources...but there's no magic fix.

It's a global problem and impacts more than just gas.

"Obama didn't cause any of this nor is there a lot he can do about it. "

I agree. But that's not what you said, what you said was he inherited skyrocketing energy costs, and I proved that was false. Not that you'll ever admit it, but hey, why limit your Obama-worshipping to what's supported by facts and reality?
