President Obama's Approval Ratings

[ThickySix]

The man is trying. why does everyone have be a hater? give him a chance.please

 

[Northland]

^Or in other words, Obama is still doing better than Bush ever did when he wasn't wrongly taking credit for 9/11 or some phony war he lied the country into.

Bush took credit for the events of 9/11?

No, he was given credit for attempting to handle the situation promptly, calmly and addressing the American people of what was known at that time. He could have just shrugged his shoulders, said nothing.

Phony war he lied the country into? No, the war is quite real. The so called lies were from faulty information, there were however very real in ground receptacles for missiles-no, they were not grain silos, and many were the Democrats who agreed on invasion. Much of the faulty information on which we relied, was accumulated during the Clinton years.

Obama is not doing better, on a good day, he breaks even. All Obama is doing is moving troops from Point A (Iraq) to Point B (Afghanistan). Civilian death tolls from military attacks are higher under Obama- how is that better?

Hell, Obama and his crew can't even figure where the fuck they plan to hold the terrorist trials or what kind of trials- one day military, next day civilian then military, then civilian. One day New York, next day off U.S. soil. Damn fool better get his act together if he wants a second term or Palin and Huckabee (or any two non Democrats) will be swept in in a landslide victory.

 

[Northland]

Dude. You've gone from quoting public opinion polls to quoting psychics? So . . . is Obama a materialist or a socialist? I mean he can hardly be both, right? And who is this Alpo person anyway?

Oh. I just realized, it's Saturday night and you're drunk off your ass. Never mind.

The name is Apo, some sort of psychic, perhaps related to Mount Apo in the Philippines, there are many superstitious people on the islands. It's unclear.

Regarding Socialist and Materialists, do your homework on the history of Socialism and its intertwined history with materialism, whether Nick knew what he was typing is open to debate, the idea of being both Socialist and a materialist is not an impossibility. There are different areas of Socialism, some heavily rely on materialistic persons, again, do your homework- Marx will offer some insight; but, you'll need to explore deeper and tap into the root base of Socialism and follow its timeline and offshoots to the present day.




You'd be much more credible max if you'd at least get the names right occasionally, taking Apo and making it Alpo as an attempt at humor, is less than I'd expect even from you.

Dude, I wasn't trying to be "credible". It was a throwaway and an inside joke. Thanks for fucking up a silly lighthearted exchange. And whatever you "expect" of me is immaterial. I couldn't give a shit. I certainly expect nothing of you except more arrogant egotistical pontificating - Omar the Maleficent blowhard.

Seriously dude, you don't even know me and you're coming after me with guns blazing. What exactly is your damn problem? I've read some of your posts in the past, and I actually enjoyed them. But now you've turned into some bitter old crank, who for some unknown reason has a stick up his ass about me. Jeehzus Kheerhyst, give it a rest!

I don't know where you've been lately, but maybe you need to go back to your padded room for some quiet time. Oh, and thanks for the suggestion, but I don't need to brush up on 'socialism and materialism'. Also a throwaway. Also played for humor. Sorry you don't have any sense of that.
Do your own damn homework, homework, homework.

Get real.

Bush's initial response was nothing more of less than ANY sitting US President would have done at the time, and everybody knows it. The longheld rightwing notion that Bush somehow went 'above and beyond' is shattered by the historical reality that Bush never even held anyone accountable for 9/11. Not inside our own government and certainly not the people and nations who were actually responsible for the deed. Bush was too weak and incompetent (or corrupt?) to go after the real culprits, so he gave us a couple of patsies, and persecuted them instead. Instead of going after OBL and Al Qaeda, Bush dazzled us with shiny things called the Taliban and Saddam Hussein.

He could have just shrugged his shoulders, said nothing.

lolol... I mean seriously, how fucking stupid do you think people are??? 3000 people dead and 18 buildings in downtown Manhattan damaged or destroyed on his watch, and your assertion is that Bush could have just kept on reading My Pet Goat upside down, and everyone would have accepted that??? Sorry, but the president is obligated to respond to national threats and crisis events. Refusing to do so would have quickly gotten him Impeached by everyone, including his own people!

Damn fool better get his act together if he wants a second term or Palin and Huckabee (or any two non Democrats) will be swept in in a landslide victory.

That this is your top choice for who you think could defeat Obama in an election says it all... Case closed... Next.

That's MAGNIficent


You know max, inside jokes work better, if they're funny.

But now you've turned into some bitter old crank, who for some unknown reason has a stick up his ass about me. Jeehzus Kheerhyst, give it a rest!

Word has it, I've been a bitter old crank for years, I didn't just turn that way. What? You think I saw you here and said, "Hey, I think I'm going to morph into a bitter old crank!"-? In actuality, I'm neither cranky nor bitter, I simply place the true facts in front of you. You have now a dozen times when called on something, made it 'it was a joke' or 'it was a throwaway'. If you have no balls, don't pretend that you do. No answer, you call it 'inside joke' 'throwaway' or instruct the person to 'shut up'. Those aren't answers, they are words of an ignorant coward, scared that they'll be found out.

I don't know where you've been lately, but maybe you need to go back to your padded room for some quiet time.

I've been in various places, Butchy.

Oh, and thanks for the suggestion, but I don't need to brush up on 'socialism and materialism'. Also a throwaway. Also played for humor. Sorry you don't have any sense of that.

It was most clearly not played for humor, it's setting and direction makes that clear. Again, you've been called on something where you were wrong and decide to try another lie. Nobody buys it.

Do your own damn homework, homework, homework.

I did my homework, honey. I am far more learned than you'd allow yourself to believe. I know the ins and outs of poliitics, I hold a degree in History and can fill you in, rough draft, on any period of time between 2000 B.C. and now.

At this time, we don't know who will be in the running. At this time, we don't know if Obama will make more mistakes. At this time, we don't know if the Democratc Party will continue to lose ground in their House seatings. At this time, we don't know how much or how little the next session of Congress will or will not accomplish- which will make the 2012 election outcome go in one direction or another.


Regarding Huckabee, he's got as good a chance as anyone else, some might even say a better chance. He's more center than most of the Republicans who are placed out there (his radical right moments aside).

Sorry to tell yo this shorty, the case is not closed. Oh, you also might want to actually answer the points about troop removal which Obama promised, which in reality has only been moving them and the death toll mounts and the death toll from military towards civilians is climbing higher and is at a higher percentage than it was under Bush.

 

[B_VinylBoy]

Huckabee? Really?!
Sorry, no. Ain't gonna happen.

 

[Northland]

Huckabee? Really?!
Sorry, no. Ain't gonna happen.

Bbbb...b....b...bb..b..b.bbbbb...but my story requires it.

You know max, inside jokes work better, if they're funny.

not meaning to join in on this one, (like Truman said, if it's too hot in the kitchen for you, stay out) but it was intended as a joke

there were two shifts in context, as Maxcock noticed

the first was the allusion to stepping lightly on the earth, one of the buzzwords from the environmental movement, made in reference to the quote he posted, and its imagery of "digging up"

the second, exactly as Maxcock mentioned, jumping from Rasmussen Reports to resorting to psychics, meant to convey a desperate clutching of straws to defend the position

sorry if it wasn't clear to everyone else, but the two of us were in sync

reminds me of another jocular post I made, that I thought was obvious, wherein I made a reference to the lesser peoples and nations on a map also showing America

Jason Els had posted a funny map showing America, accompanied by implicitly (liberal) anti-American wisecrack, and my response was to that

I would have guessed readers would have recognized the context, but somehow, LPSGers can't see a response to a joke, as possibly also being a joke -- I, on the other hand see things in their context, so I assume others can see it as well ( I have since employed the concept of lesser nations, because thinking about the response I obtained, I recognized the concept and perception had real world aspects to it, but it originally began as a joke, and does not characterize the way I see things, entirely)

couple that with the fact that, as my friends say, I have a tragic sense of humour, so my jokes can be misread

but, carry on, some interesting posts are being made, and that is what this site is for -- thinking!

isn't it?

 

[maxcok]

You know max, inside jokes work better, if they're funny.

They work better if you're privy to the joke. (see above) That's why they're called 'inside' jokes. Get it? Naw, din't thank so, your Maleficence.

Word has it, I've been a bitter old crank for years, I didn't just turn that way. What? You think I saw you here and said, "Hey, I think I'm going to morph into a bitter old crank!"-? In actuality, I'm neither cranky nor bitter,

You are in fact a cranky bitter old troll, but I was trying to be kind.

I simply place the true facts in front of you. You have now a dozen times when called on something, made it 'it was a joke' or 'it was a throwaway'.

In addition to being a cranky bitter old troll, you are also a bald-faced, bald-headed liar -- as proven here and numerous times elsewhere in the two short days since you crawled out of the septic tank. Please do show me where I have ever said this before. You can't, because this is the first time I ever said it. Ever. Sadly, I had to explain to you that it was a joke, which anyone with half a brain would realize. Even sweet Nicky Sixy got it. What does that say about your intellect, you bald-faced bald-headed liar?

If you have no balls, don't pretend that you do. No answer, you call it 'inside joke' 'throwaway' or instruct the person to 'shut up'. Those aren't answers, they are words of an ignorant coward, scared that they'll be found out.

Your twisting and lying are growing tiresome. Coward? Scared of you??
Aren't you the big brave boy - hurling unprovoked insults, hiding behind a computer screen.

I've been in various places, Butchy.

Of this I have no doubt. I hope you got your shots and have plenty of sanitizer.

It was most clearly not played for humor, it's setting and direction makes that clear. Again, you've been called on something where you were wrong and decide to try another lie. Nobody buys it.

(its) Your twisting and lying are tiresome. Your obsession is tiresome.

I did my homework, honey. I am far more learned than you'd allow yourself to believe. I know the ins and outs of poliitics, I hold a degree in History and can fill you in, rough draft, on any period of time between 2000 B.C. and now.

We all stand in awe of your magnificent intellect. Why do we not see it reflected in any of your observations on current events or modern political history? And believe me, you are the last person I would want to 'fill me in' on anything, literally or figuratively.

You are clearly not simple minded, but ironically it is your desperate desire to be noticed and recognized for your 'brilliance' that make you an utter fool. A mean and nasty one to boot.

News flash, honey: I don't give a crap about you or your supposed knowledge, nor have I called that into question. It is only you who is obsessed with trying to prove something here, which indicates to me deep seated insecurity, a pathological inferiority complex.

Again, it is a mystery why you have come out of hiding to suddenly attack me, now stalking me from thread to thread, when I have never paid you any mind before. Is that the problem? You want some attention baby boy?? Or did someone put you up to this?

Hmmm . . . .

Mitt needs to run as a rabid Mormon, it would be fun to watch. Hucky could be his vice president.

Thanks Nicky. You never fail to surprise me.

Yes, you keep up with that thinking. As I and Martha said before, "it's a good thing".

Take note peeps, Nicky may not be the brightest bulb in the drawer, and we may dismiss him for his politics, but no one is more unassuming better natured and takes it all in stride better than this boy.

I like that in a man, and for all the above and all the foregoing, I salute you Nick. :smile:

[B_Nick4444]

Are you suggesting that psychics are legitimate sources of obtaining information about events that have yet to occur?

Priceless! :dance:

The man is trying. why does everyone have be a hater? give him a chance.please

actually, it was a joke, but if in the headlines we hear of Owe-bama developing a "special relationship" with an Arab (and I'm not referring to the incriminating photo of him kneeling, with bobbing head), remember you heard it here first :biggrin1:

 

[hot-rod]

What's the percentage of those who have been "conditioned" by negative propaganda to the extent that their rallying cry is "Keep the government out of my medicaire"?

Honestly.

He'll come back bigger and stronger than ever! :banana:

 

[Northland]

We all stand in awe of your magnificent intellect. Why we see it reflected in your observations on current events or modern political history, And believe me, you are the person I would want to 'fill me in' on anything, literally or figuratively. Aw, thanks! You can sit down though while admiring me:smile:.

You are clearly recognized for your brilliance to boot. Why thank you. So sweet of you to say that.
News flash, honey: I have deep seated insecurity, a pathological inferiority complex. That's okay, it's nothing for you to feel ashamed of.

Again, it is a mystery why I have never paid you any mind before. Probably those peace marchings and the Kennedy funerals- why overthink it? You've found me now. embrace the wonder of this gift! Oh, wait, you just recently arrived, I was out of town for part of December, all of January and a sizeable chunk of February, I am sorry forgot to get you a gift.:frown1:

As always maxie, a pleasure, have a magnificent evening.

Gee, thanks :angryfire::angryfire::angryfire::angryfire:

For the first time ever, more people now disapprove than approve of him.

Gallup.Com - Daily News, Polls, Public Opinion on Government, Politics, Economics, Management

Approve 46%
Disapprove 48%

RealClearPolitics - Opinion, News, Analysis, Videos and Polls

Approve 47.3%
Disapprove 47.8%

 

[maxcok]

Horrors! A new "poll". Run Henny-Penny, the sky is falling!










Not that it matters, but what's the margin of error? Esp. in that half point split? LOL

 

[deleted15807]

For the first time ever, more people now disapprove than approve of him.

Gnobe meet Gnobe:

Latest Rasmussen Ohio poll puts McCain 51% Obama 44%.

National polls don't reflect the outcome of the election, true, however McCain is actually ahead on some electoral college maps now (including Rasmussens).
