Obama Least Popular President In 4 Decades

George Washington's picture




 

A new Washington Post/ABC poll released today shows that Obama is the least popular president in 39 years:

The president’s overall approval rating stands at 43 percent, while disapproval is at 55 percent.

 

***

 

Obama ends his fifth year in office with lower approval ratings than almost all other recent two-term presidents. At this point in 2005, for example, former president George W. Bush was at 47 percent positive, 52 percent negative. All other post-World War II presidents were at or above 50 percent at this point in their second terms, except Richard M. Nixon, whose fifth year ended in 1973 with an approval rating of 29 percent because of the Watergate scandal that later brought impeachment and his resignation.

Why is Obama so unpopular?

Because – as horrible as Bush was – Obama is worse than Bush in favoring the super-elite, bailing out the big banks, protecting financial criminals, targeting whistleblowers, keeping government secrets, trampling our liberties and starting military conflicts in new countries.

Obama is even worse than Bush in redistributing wealth from the American people to a handful of fatcats and trampling civil liberties.

Americans now realize that Obama is not following the will of the people.

Moreover, having a sell-out president Obama after a sell-out president Bush has shown the people that neither mainstream parties represents them.

Indeed, both the mainstream Republican and Democratic parties are virtually identical regarding core issues including:

Any apparent difference is just a scripted show.

Under both Republican and Democratic politicians, both the rule of law and free market capitalism have been trashed.

In reality, we no longer have free market capitalism. Instead, we have socialism for the rich and sink-or-swim capitalism for everyone else.   Conservatives see the socialism half of this equation, and liberals see the laissez faire free market half. Both liberals and conservatives hate crony capitalism. Look here, here, here.

Please have lost faith in the 2 party system.

Note: The poll numbers for Congress are even worse.

So here's the thing - Obama is not a Communist, he is in fact a Facist. That is part of the confusion around this guy.

Why get stuck on details over the particular type of totalitarian socialist he is.  It's not like one type is better.

He is also a klepto-fascist like Goldman Sachs, GE, Corzine, Apple, Google, FaceBook, Warren Buffett, et al.  It means they also steal anything and loot the Treasury.   They are a lot like Soros oligarchs in fact, this is why Soros gang did to the USSR and are doing to the USSA.

(we join the news conference in progress....)

"......Yes, as pResident, I regret the malfunction in the ACA software that sucked the funds out of every financial institutional account in the country. However, the Treasury Secretary has come up with a National EBT card. We will issue them immediately to fix this mistake. As a security measure, each card will be tracked in order that purchases of the wrong sort don't end up on your account."

I think the real story is that there's still 43% who approve of the moron in chief.

"I think the real story is that there's still 43% who approve of the moron in chief."

Big ups, Ultraticum.

With all due respect sir, can you prove this is true beyond a shadow of doubt?

A glance at reality in the unreality shows that prolly only 3% of the nations sheeple support this carp. That is overestimating the actual number also.

Can anyone certifiably and with supportive evidence in testimony say they actually love the new commie-care?

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me a hundred times, I'm an American voter.

And they're not capable of changing.

Ah, but the American voter has changed. Look at all the drives to get "new" voters registered. The Americanm voter these days is far different than in the past. Combined with the apathetic, self centered attitudes these days and you have a toxic brew of "what's in it for me?".

There are too many parasitical "gimmedats" to save the country through the electoral process.

In what have Americans lost faith?

Progressive Disease, Incompetence, Meddling, Encroachment of Freedoms, Anger at the Shredding of Constitution and Bill of Rights, Big Government, International Military and Diplomatic Encroachment, Fiat Currency, Myriad Incomprehensible Regulations...

Hey, that's why some dumb fuck gets elected.
To take the heat, FFS.

No, it is not Bush's, Clinton's, Bush1's, Reagan, Carters, or somebody else's fault.
You own it pal....
Y'all can't take the good without the bad.
And you been claiming the good for too long

The way of Karma.

 

PS  Whoda thunk that this could happen to such a nice guy?  Ya know, if he had more time and was treated better by the Republicans, the Bible and Gun Nuts, the Tin Foil Conspiracy Hatters, he Tea Party and Congress, he could have done so much more, great things

(ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Whoda thunk, the big eared malato would of back stabbed all the blacks like he did. They are really pissed about how things have worked out for most of them.

Electing the first "black" president was awesome for most, but his betrayal of the poor folk is hard for them to swallow right now.

Bush stikes again..........damn that guy is good!

 

We'd blame it all on Nixon.....but he's dead.......and only the 47% is gonna buy that......and it's more like 41% these days.

And yet the sheeple will dutifully return to the polls in keeping with Einstein's definition of insanity, being too brainwashed to imagine an alternative to an "indivisible" nation nation that was founded on the exact opposite principle.
