Obama Worst President Since World War II, More Say US Would Be Better Under Romney, Latest Poll Finds
The president is increasingly finding that telling the Mr. Chairmanwoman to rig the market to all time highs does not translate to a comparable popularity rating. In fact, just the opposite.
While Obama's slide in the polls is nothing new, the latest data from the Quinnipiac University Poll is about as bad as it gets for the president: in fact, perhaps the only thing more shocking than Obama "surpassing" George W. Bush as the worst president since World War II is the onset of revisionism, with some 45% saying the US would have been better with Romney as president, compared to just 38% who say Obama remains the better choice. Which incidentally confirms what we reported yesterday: while the Republican view of Obama has certainly never been lower, what is worse is that even the core democrat faithful are now giving up on the hope and change bringer, confirmed by the latest Gallup poll which saw democrat confidence in the economy tumbling to the lowest level for 2014.
More from Washington Times:
With Mr. Obama deploying military troops to Iraq, failing to find compromise with Congress and seeing major defeats in the Supreme Court, voters continue to sour on him.
Quinnipiac found 45 percent of voters say the country would have been better off if Mr. Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, had been election, while just 38 percent say Mr. Obama remains a better choice. Even Democrats aren’t so sure — just 74 percent of them told the pollsters Mr. Obama was clearly the better pick in the last election.
Voters also rate him the worst president since World War II, topping even his predecessor, President George W. Bush, who had left office with terrible ratings.
“Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
A Zogby Analytics Poll released Wednesday also found Mr. Obama slipping — in that survey, to 44 percent approval, while his disapproval leapt 4 percentage points from last month to reach 54 percent.
Nearly half of voters told the Zogby poll that Mr. Obama is “unable to lead the country.”
And now, back to hoping and praying that by rigging the Dow Jones above the "psychological level" of 17,000, voters will finally notice and give Obama his due.

Francis Sawyer for President.
He was never distracted by the hydras tentacles.
He went straight for the root.
Boris in 2016.
This just in from Yahoo News AP report --
"In a report released Tuesday night, the bipartisan, five-member Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, appointed by President Barack Obama, largely endorsed a set of NSA surveillance programs...[and] found that the NSA monitoring was legal and reasonable..."
Well, I wonder if a bipartisan board appointed by Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot would largely endorse the same policy. I think so.

is there even a proportional relationship between peoples opinion of the president and our well-being? If there is, it's inversely proportional to popularity. As far as I can tell, the most popular (and therefore powerful) presidents are the ones that screwed us the most.
so, luvin' me some obama...
Picture it:
A reality show...Who's the next President.
It would be like Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, and Fear Factor all rolled into one.
No more debates....just outdo your opponents and win the mob.
......Perhaps a test beforehand to make sure our next President can read.
...and a US Citizen of natural birth.

and we can also make sure they know to only hit the 'save' button once.
It's a feature, it's not a bug.
Since when did anybody who reads ZH care about what the sheeple think?
Since I'm near the entry to my 7th decade and I've only figured out recently that presidents are puppets and elected officials are wherever they get elected in order to increase their own personal power or that of their puppetmasters, I think others younger than I can be excused for not having enough experience to realize that elections are votes for a very bad status quo system and presidents can't and therefore won't fix anything. The last one who tried was murdered and the coverup is still going on. Who would take the chance ever again?
Maybe with Romney things might look different but I don't think it would BE different, we'd still be in deep statist bankster debt s--t and my money market fund "return" still would be 3 cents per quarter.
This is good news for stocks.....right?
Fuck the "Gay Prince!" No, wait, he actually likes that. Especially, old white men. Obama is Proof Positive that ignorant voters elect ignorant politicians. BOTH PARTIES! Obama is destoying America. Undeniable.
Obama awful?!
How could anyone have possibly seen this coming?
Ha! Whocoodanode!!!!????
CaptainObvious Absolutely right.
Absolutley butooMcfarty, Americans will continue getting it good and hard as long as they persist in the illusion these people are actually elected.
I think that Tyler needs to overlay that chart on the S&P 500 I'm sure there's a correlation in there somewhere.
Some day no doubt the president will be the winner of the hunger games.
Although I'm happy to see O's approval numbers so low, I'm suspicious about polls like this one. I bet half of Americans couldn't even name the last five presidents.
Let's see
Booooosh
Marx
Lenin
Engels
Am I on the right track?
Yes. You're tracking right about average.
Oops, I just realized I was listing the founding fathers...my bad.
It's not Obama...if only those obstructionist tea baggers, repubelikkans and conservatives could be stopped we'd already have our utopian socialist republic! That's it, we're going after those tea baggers and we're eliminating and denigrating all of them and coming up with a NEW 5 year plan. Then this NEXT time will be completely different...you'll see, then we'll have the socialist utopian nirvana that Marx talked of...
I was visiting in Berkeley when O was running for his first term. Walking down Shattuck Ave. it seemed every other store front had one of those Obama posters pasted in the display window, him looking up, and hopeful, and changeful, and all that.
And I remember thinking (not saying, thinking) that all the Berkeleyites were deluding themselves. What was that man saying that demonstrated he was a leader? That he could be trusted? That he would bring the change we wanted and needed so desperately?
They were all running on a different frequency than me. I couldn't hear a thing. Haven't heard a single thing any Presidential candidate has said for a long long time.
All the people fit for President either don't want the job or can't get the job.
(Didn't Clinton run on change? Shouldn't they have learned, and asked for ID this time around?)
But the even more interesting exercise would have been when running for his second term, to see the rationalizations that they had not been completely lied to...
Know it's not popular but I see nothing to gain anymore by hating the guy. This is especially true if you want to be his replacement. No one has worked harder for Republican causes than Mitt Romney. PERIOD. "Puts his money where is mouth is" as well. Great man, great 'merican. But if I were advising him i ditch that Republican logo.
Simply put saying "I'm a Republican" or "I'm a Democrat" is death to the cash flow...let alone having to deal with a materially significant "War Establishment" that now exists en toto in Washington DC.
Simply put "you're either a soldier or you're not." How don't care how many elections you've won or think you will win. When you show up in that town...now and going forward for the next thousand years...you're up to eyeballs in brass and ammo.
"The current to do list is Ukraine, Libya, North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, China, Russia, the EU, the Mexican Border, Central America in General and now Argentina."
"For those about to rock...WE SALUTE YOU!"
How many human beans believe that one guy, no more than few steps down from the Gorillas, apes, and monkeys, (they are the ADVANCED evolutionary species not, emphatically, Homo Sapiens, Erectus, or Horribilis) has the ability, brains, natural talents, charisma, leadership, and other characteristics required to do the job as POTUS??
The answer is: Nobody.
I don't like theBamster any more than Bushes, clintons, or the Muppets in this job simply because it cannot be done.
EVERYONE who occupies the position of POTUS in a democratic republic is going to be a miserable failure. Aside from the media spinning their faves from lead strands into gold, NO one can ever be expected to do more than survive in the 4-8 years they have the jump seat of Air Force One. After that they go off into oblivion hopefully, or being addicted to the obeisance paid to them by their supporters, refuse to slink off silently in to the night, like clinton, who must suffer terrible pangs of depression not still sitting the Oral Office, licking cigars that have been extracted from nubile young female interns' vaginas.
On its own, it means nothing that theBamster or anyone else cannot do the job. What it signifies however, is far more important, the most important information we could ever get from the conclusion we can draw from the job being merely a symbol.
And that information was known back in 1860 when the states one by one began to secede from the union. Our best chance to have a viable governance, of, by and for the people was when a dozen or more countries could have formed on this part of the N. American continent.
Since then we have witnessed a nearly complete usurpation of States' rights by a Federal, (InterGlobal, really) take over of individual, and states preferences of how they wish govern themselves.
States are not even permitted to disallow a sanctioned buttfucking minority from insisting upon their 'rights' to be married, overturning thousands of years of sanctioned unions between a man and woman.
It would be wise to lower your expectations to below the floor for anyone who has the sociopathic personality to think that they have the answers to governance of 360,000,000 growing to 500,000,000 human beans.
The arrogance, audacity, the complete tyrannical mindset that thinks it can triumph over the individual to force laws down their throats that they do not agree with is the crime here, not the actual occupation of the Oral Office.
Actually, if they were to stick with their enumerated powers as specified in the constitution they would be as popular as the likes of Calvin Coolidge. In other words they would be of no particular noteworthiness, but nor would they be hated. That's the best that it will ever get. DC and POTUS are far outside their constitutional bounds, and in that light your comments make all the sense in the world.
You're wrong. The president with the balls to take a bullet, and the brains to make sure the shooters are known no matter what, is everything Cheney's nephew is not.
I could put this frame together in a few months. With body doubles, just like Saddam did. But no one wants to pay me. Its all about the money...
Obama's numbers will drop further and permanently, when the truth about the gay orgies in the Lincoln bedroom comes out.
You said it, not me.
Better with Romney? It wouldn't have been any different. Wake up people, it doesn't matter which party has the presidency. Y'all can have fun trashing Barack, but it really makes no difference, these are the times we live in no matter who is the nominal face of TPTB.
The year is 2006.
The event is an Obama campaign strategy session.
Advisor: Okay, let's figure out your slogan. That's important.
Advisor: Tell me what your presidency will fundamentally be about assuming we manage to get you elected president.
Obama: Hype and Chains.
Advisor: That's good! Hope and Change.
Obama: That's not what I said.
Advisor: I know, but this is what you pay me for.
Obama: Gotcha.
Advisor: Simple misunderstanding, they didn't hear you right.
Advisor: Plausible deniability, and all that.
Obama: You're good.
Advisor: I know.
Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!
I vote for a military coup.
Drag that asshole out of the Oval office in handcuffs then move on to congress and every federal agency.
I personally feel that Johnson, Nixon, and Carter were worse. But Obama's certainly making a strong effort and his term isn't over yet so he might still surpass them.
Who doesn't think Bush II wasn't one of the worst, ever, needs to have their Wernicke-Broca pans MRI'd.
And stupid douchebag, inarticulate, brain-addled stooge as well.
People are even more moronic to think they had a choice. Romney would be exactly as is. Why? Because you stupid sheep, they are but a puppet to placate the herd. Only MORONS think they had a choice.!!!!!
The Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act allows private individuals to sue such organizations and collect 3X damages.
We should RICO the entire gov, every agency, every branch. My tax money has been wasted and my civil liberties curtailed, those are damages.
Ditto all the TBTF banks. Anyone who has paid interest or fees has been over-charged.
Is a class-action RICO possible?

ABSOLUTELY worth saying twice.
And the vast majority of hopey-changey types will believe the hype that the next hard left candidate is a god whobring peace, prosperity and most importntly free stuff.
The worst is yet to come, folks!
"Better off under Romney"?
Hell! We'd be better off under Bozo the Clown.
Oh wait, I guess we already have that.
I'd settle for a POTUS that isn't a radical islamist doing everything is his power to help install a caliphate.
just goes to show how utterly fucking stupid americans are.
Can you say "representative democratic republican government?"
I know you can't. Fuck jomama. Twice.
Didn't Romney get 49% of the vote? Even he is down 4% just for sitting on his ass.
obama does not run the country the feds do. Do you really think he controls wall street? No one does they make the rules we all just live with it.
Dat rayciss
I like him, he's nice.
How I long for a Republican president.
He'll bring us hope, turn the USA around fer sure, and do his dead-level best to save Iraq and Ukraine, too.
Heh.
fer sure - lol
I felt like the things we were bitching about during Bush were miniscule compared to Obama. I'd take Romney over Obama any day.
Sometimes choosing the lesser of two evils is completely logical, and perfect can be the enemy of the good.
Damn, mention Obama and you get more clicks than when you mention gold.
can you imagine making LBJ/carter look good in comparison
Afro mative action prez. Reap your whirlwind commies. Rest easy Jimmah.
FLUSH THE OBOWELMOVEMENT!
Wow, you'd think all those starry eyed supporters he had working his campaign would be really pissed off by now since it is obvious that he is running the least transparent, most hypocritical, and insider controlled government in recent history.
Tricky Dick had a few bumbling 'plumbers' while O uses the IRS....we might need to go all the way back to Harding's presidency to find anyone worse than this guy.
You know how to chop down the Tree of Liberty? Swing from the left and then the right.
Impeach the motherfucker!
Not only is he doing a beyond horrible job, but he's a fucking mega criminal as well!
How much more do you fucking need to get rid of this fuck!!!???
He took an Oath when he took on the job.
Let us take the words of the oath and apply them to his actions.
There are not only grounds for impeachment and there is the issue of human rights, aiding terrorists and crimes against humanity.
Who will make him answer?
His predecessor is guilty as well.
Who will make him answer?
No one on this planet by the looks of it. Let us hope theire is a heaven and hell and that the verdict is just.
Worst ever.
Hell, many of us knew when he got elected in '08 that he would be the first bad black president and the last one. He ruined it for the others of his race. They called us racists because we were against his socialistic ways. So, for those who voted for him, suck it up.
There you have the final death knoll of the west. The population actually against all reason believes their politicians are not all getting the same memo. Should they not accept the assignment ......... well good night John boy.
The Annunaki were right about earthlings, a threat to the universe.
Kalki praise his name will soon take care of things.
The coverage of "Watergate 40 years after" that aired on PBS got me thinking about how President Nixon did not resign right away after five men were arrested for trying to break into the offices of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate hotel and office complex. It took a long time for the dots to be connected and the temperature to rise. A comparison of the times, 1972 and 2012, and how society has changed leads me to ponder some of the issues that brought about his demise.
I can state without a doubt that a President would no longer have to hire "burglars" to break into an opponent's headquarters, the technology of today is far more sophisticated. Today a President with his own White House propaganda machine, and a few well placed lies or misleading information placed out on Sunday talk shows could have the same effect on an election that skullduggery would of had in the past. More on all the scandals surrounding the President and how it might play out in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2013/05/watergate-40-years-later.html
Try to not get your thinking framed -
one now must realize it is extremey likely that things on such a level had been done before Nixon by many presidents, and also had been caught red-handed.
So the only difference is in 1972 there was a concerted, steadily increasing media circus on it - the standard 68er's and do-gooders approach: try to shame the person into the "correct" behavior.
Only problem with that is 1. you can't shame true psychopaths and 2. the opponents quickly learned to use the shaming-method against completely innocent persons as well.
Things are about to get more hairy as a bill working it's way through the Russian Duma calls for Russia to set up mercenary forces similar to Blackwater.

The voice of old man winter is speaking to the brains of the Ukies.
Hey Ruskie Putin luvin propaganda blog spammer, why don't you go spam some Russian blogs? The article is about Obama -- we hate all oligarchs equally here at ZH, America's and Putin's gang. Go recruit Russian empire converts somewhere else.

Worst pResident since King George, if ya ask me.
(Nairobi-AFRICOM News)
"Kenyan Interior Minister Ooba Dooba today announced records purporting to show The Bath House, celebrated in Kenya as the first Kenyan-American president were forgeries.
"Many of our people were happy one of us became US President. I must now denounce this due to our authorities finding any link between the US President and Kenya are False. He is a 100% US Product," said the Minister.'
You think Obama is so well loved wait tell the next President Hillary.
Hope and strange!
dope exchange
Hope for Strange
Maybe rethink the policy of closing old threads for comments. I like to go back and get my final shot in.
Back in 2008, Obama was the radical leftists "great black hope" that would finally prove that a black man could run shit just as well as a white one.
Fast forward six years, and it's crystal clear to anybody with an IQ above 80, that this schwartza is not unique and is running the US into the ground just like every other typical African or Carribean nation where blacks are in charge.
It's not because he's black or gay. He's just stupid.
What's really scary here is the high number of Americans that approve of him. Unles, of course, the numbers are rigged.
HFT polling will do that, rig and then we have all those printed opinions manufactured going into the poll with seasonal adjustments. :)
Just what I wanted for xmas, a hedge-fund billionaire mormon for President..
People are disillusioned with the system in general, anyone who can make it into office is indebted to the special interests who got them there...campaign finance reform, an altered voting system for congress that allowed more 3rd party participation might help get more voices in there.

America deserves a refund.
To be perfectly honest, I pick up copies of City Pages because they are free. I use those copies to start the wood furnace but not I am not using them for food. You can really only find copies of this shitshow publication if you are in the direct Minneapolis area where this is about the only free thing you will find there. Actually paying for a newspaper just to start a fire is a pain in the ass. Newsprint is dead so who is paying for it? Yes, we know how this game works, we are paying for it
I will give credit where credit is due, if credit is due and for the last couple of years, the latest writers they have been coming up are not worth anything at all and half of the time they don't have any writers at all. All right, the Left Wing Rag known as the Star Tribune owns City Pages and sold their rights(no one believe 100 million) and so we have a new writer on the free distribution daughter newspaper AKA City Pages.
It starts out easy enough but the more you read the more you are being played. I just love the squirrel bullshit bit. People will read that shit and believe it happened. I may just need to start taking all of the copies of and burning them. Well, whatever, the bullshit is worth reading because she(or he) is a good bullshit writer. Do you where Lyn-Lake is? That was a good one too. Yeah, that is Lyndale and Lake street and you do not want to even be there at 8 A.M..
All I am doing is calling bullshit here on:

Tough to be President during a Depression. And with a worldwide religious war going on.
The next guy or gal up is going to have a rough time too.
