President "I Will Not Rest" Obama's Approval Rating Hits Record Low
Nearly 80% of Americans have lost faith in the American political system, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll. Despite record highs in stocks (and consumer confidence?) - and a President proclaiming that as victory - 60% of Americans are dissatisfied with the economy and 70% believe the nation is heading in the wrong direction. Who is to blame for this? President Obama's overall approval rating has collapsed to a new low at 40%, with only 42% approving of his handling of the economy. "Americans are cranky, unhappy… It is with everything going on the world," and 57% are pissed off enough to carry a protest sign. But don't worry, as President Obama has reiterated during his tenure, he "will not rest..."
What Republicans would protest...
What Democrats would protest....
What President Obama will do...
On the bright side, Obama is 10x more popular (among Americans) than Putin...
Congress is more unpopular than Wall Street (but not as unpopular as Vladimir Putin) http://t.co/jxJJWn3h6t pic.twitter.com/XwuO71KvSM

Here's what we want you to think
http://homment.com/YK5ipoxtZq
Show us some more of that laser-vision mr. presidunce.
A small segment of people I thought were imbeciles 30 years ago, I now just consider average Amerikans.
No immigration into the US from 1924 thru 1964- then the "Great Society" began that allowed the critical mass of idiots on the dole.
All he has to do to get back above 50% approval is hand out MOAR FREE SHIT!! Why else would anyone think this asshat is doing anything remotely close to a good job, unless you are getting some freebies from him? Its the FSA that keeps him from sinking to near 0%, he'd more likely be closer to tracking the 10 year treasury at 2.5%.
Call me when his rating is at 15%
I don't buy the 40%. Even with the public as stupid as they are, and that's quite stupid, I still think the 40% figure is 'adjusted' to account for items such as extremely cold weather, western drought, illegal aliens who will eventually cross the border, or perhaps even the ebola virus.
You do have to massage the numbers a bit to get a more accurate read on the situation. I see it like this: 35% of the population is going to "approve" of him even if he were caught fondling small children and drowning puppies on a regular basis and 35% would "disapprove" even if he pooped gold bricks, cured cancer, and miraculously healed all blind people. Truncating the sample, you get a 16.7% (5/30) approval rating.
The dude is just like O.J. He's going to find the real killers and bring them to justice!
I am Chumbawamba.
Give the man a rest he has no power anyway... he might as well enjoy his stay with golf!
Stop being so rational, you will draw attention.
Divide and Conquer FTMFW!
Gee, one would think this was an election year.
O-pEACH-Me thinks he's successful. Well, he is. IMHO he purposefully has made a stab at bringing down America - and truthfully speaking - I'd say he has succeeded.
I HIGHLY doubt obama is 10x more popular to Americans than Putin is at this point. Not when getting a colonoscopy is 10x more popular than obama is.
obama is only 10x more popular than Putin when you pole elitist, globalist, sociopath, bankster, and politi-scum.
That's the demographic Putin is pissing off these days.
42% approve? Who the FUCk are they? Oh let me guess... they are: .gov employees, welfare queens, trail lawyers, disability kings, the half of the union membership that needs union protection to keep earning $40 an hour to turn a wrench, college professors, limo libs, and guilty white women.
Ok y'all have had your fun and now you can feel better for electing a man because we evil white men oppress everyone... now get over your fucking guilt and let's put the grown ups back in charge.
In other words, people who fear Team Red more than Team Blue.
This is starting to sound a lot like a flip of the coin to "it's all Bush's fault". I think just as striking, though not the headline of this article, is the abysmal 14% congress approval rating.
The whole system needs to be cleaned out, remove all of the folks in and around politics today and replace them with fresh blood. No one cares about elections anymore because they know the problems go deeper than one or two politicians.
Well as long as we have a wide open boarder on the South everything will be fine. The unskilled Labor wages will continue to fall, our freedoms will continue to diminish and the family unit will continue to disingrate. Nothing but a rosey future for all.
Froze, you hit is on the head. Why are US citizens unhappy with politicians? For the simple fact they care less about the native US population. Nooses will be coming out in a few years.
Paging Bill The Butcher and his gang of natives.... we need to get to work
Cloward-Piven folks - plain & simple. The Alinsky advocate holds high the torch of disunity.
Dems and Liberals still love Obama.
Ebola.
Who cares about the Seppo prez ? Not me
The fact that 40% still approve of Obama is proof of how fucked we are. This game is over.
We may survive Obama as a nation, but we will never survive them.
I just want that 40% to all have the "Hope and Change" bumperstickers when the shooting starts.
Nice. The inference is so you can shoot them? Bravo. This is the real problem with our country, the disunity. Trust me, you have more in common with an American democrat than you do with anyone else in the world, we should all remember that. The only people that benefit from disunity are the people already in power, bigger chips to play in the same game. You're better off having a drink with a Dem and figure out how to solve this than pining for a day of false reconing.
Still enough people who see a black man and say:
1. He's one of us!
2. I'm not a racist!
And that's the world today. Nobody cares about the content anymore.
and...
and 57% are pissed off enough to carry a protest sign...
yeah...
a protest sign... rebels with a cause....
People vote for populists. They never take the smartest guy in the room. They take the one that smiles, has a catchy line and promises the world for free.
"They never take the smartest guy in the room."
Even intelligent politicians can be corrupt to the bone. Smart and/or corrupt is not mutually exclusive.
"They never take the smartest guy in the room. " True. That's because the smartest guy in that particular room isn't very smart. The REALLY smart guys don't get into politics. They don't want the abuse. They prefer to own the politicians.
I feel an urge to remind you of Plato, the old Greek.
He basically said, anyone who actually craves power is self evidently unsuitable for the job.
So leaders must be recruited in a complusory way from the ranks of scholarship etc., and have a short tenure.
The above mentioned cravers will do everthing in their power to overthrow such a system, and so they will , with regret, have to be , how you say? eliminated.
I like the word "removed". It's very vague and allows the real agenda to hide in the tall grass........which poses a striking similarity to Jay Carney's pressers.
...So leaders must be recruited in a complusory way from the ranks of scholarship etc., and have a short tenure....
So the sociopaths will just go the academic route, which is exactly what they do now? I don't think that's helping.
So I'll adjust it in a way that works, because Plato was a "leader" and therefor, a self-indicted sociopath...not to mention pedophile. Anyway. He got his and right so.
Corrected:
So leaders must be recruited in a complusory and random way from the ranks of tax paying registered voters of natural birth etc., and have a 2 yr tenure. The gig shall be part time, 6 months out of the year with 6 months present in home district required. Salary will be set by state legislators.
whats up with the golf and creepy old businessmen?
Sotero has the worst golf swing in history.
Yeah, it looks like he's unfolding a lawn chair.
hard to swing well with a butt plug in
Sorry, but Comte d'Herblay owns the worst golf swing in pre-post-of present history. He has to go out on the course at daybreak, by special permission from the Golf Course management so that no one sees him but for the last few holes. It's too depressing.
At best, the bamster' s number 2.
Sotero has the worst golf swing in history.
Yeah, but compared to his limp-wristed, throw-off-the-wrong-foot baseball mechanics, his golf swing looks like Fred Couples'.
he has a history of "liking" older white man for...aahhh.....well, you know.
Next up... Hillarious Clinton...
Please NO!
or that traitor...Rand P.
Unfortunatley, it will be worse, elizabeth warren will the dempublican canididate
NoMoBama
Reporter: Have you seen your latest numbers?
Obama: My score is lower than it's ever been
Reporter: We aren't talking about your golf game sir
I'll let you in to a secret: your leaders are supposed to be frustratingly shit. That's the way this whole thing was designed to operate.
I might indeed be in the national security interest to put the Bammer "to rest" were it not for the fact that Biden and Pelosi are on deck.
Spray and pray.
We would be a bigger laughingstock than we already are.

Please, is this author suggesting that there's a difference in the corporate spokespeople (they sure as hell are not "representatives" of the republic)?
LMFAO!!
40% still approve of going over the cliff full speed. Idiots.
Barry's popularity is in the 30s, maybe the 20s
MSM and polling firms bullshit these numbers - they have to or they get no more gubbamant bidniss.
OK, haters, now you have an appropriate venue for your vitriol - have at it.
Hate Obummer, call him names, pile on, let loose with obscenities ad infinitum.
And don't forget to include the mandatory Wookie and Reggie references.
Dickheads.
Don't blow Barry before blogging here - it shows in your writing style.
Your trolling needs a little work. You let an "Obummer" slip in there.
Do you realize that if we did the exact opposite of what Obama has chosen or recommended from day one that we would be better off in foreign and domestic policy?
Really?
Then you believe US should be still in Iraq fighting and hemmoraghing men and treasure..
You are a moron.
How many volunteers (the knuckleheads!) are still deployed in the Middle East somewhere, and what difference does it make if they are in Afghanistan Banana Stand and Band? Or Iraq or preparing to go to Ukraine, Grenada or bring down some serious WhoopAss! on some other foreign or domestic country??
Really. Even the most strident supporters would admit he should and could have left a force behind to keep and enforce the peace in Iraq. He chose not to. In fact he could not go there because for him it was always about the politics of the Iraq war and never the ending result. The same is going on in Afghanistan a war he further intensified. Look at the result now in Iraq. ISIS is now taking over major portions of Syria, Iraq, and are now on there way to Lebanon. We will disagree I know and quite frankly that's ok with me.
Boy, Obama's ears are big. They're so big...... he could feed Mike Tyson for a month.

I'll be here all week folks. Try the veal! And remember to tip your waitress. It's a depression out there.
nice tits proof....., but.........you're pathetic.
(give us a close up, you'll get more simpathy)
They're as useless as tits on a bullshitter.
Proof reeder, I know joe biden and you sir are no joe biden
There are many places on the /Interweb that are appropriate for venting.
TheBamster is a lightweight suit, and nothing more. That's intentional of course, because the real power behind the U.S. and international governments do not need, want or prefer a popular, 66% approval rating POTUS.
That way, there be Dragons who would threaten their chodehold on the American people.
The fact that Putin, a real leader who earns respect, is very unpopular in the USA is all you need to know about how pieces of fucking worthless shit like obama or bush or clinton get elected not just once, but twice.
The USA deserves to get hammered down hard by the world. Any population that thinks it's fine to live on your knees as long as the govt supplies kneepads is fucked in the head.

Smegley, there are Americans who at least have respect for Putin.
Please don't get me started on the boomer voting majority.
Oops, Watch as Chris Jansing from MSNBS admits Zero is from Kenya:
http://youtu.be/XM_vbHkt8Z8
that's really funny! she smoothly blathers on.
40% approval?????.............WTF!!!!!!!!!
the memo went out - anything below 40% and the polling firm gets fired
Anything below 30% and we might just get war, tails gotta wag that dog
Dog will be eaten.
Party lines with a small variation due to the odd person who can read and think. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Let's replace them all with open source software.
Yeah, a 10 line bash script.
Too easy to hack. You think disinformation is rampant now...
just hold on here!! these numbers in the "pol" were vetted by the BLS?? if you eliminate the holders of current visa, those here with expired visas, the ghost population of illegals visiting here from central America, from the pool ...Obuma's numbers would be low 20%, remember he who counts the pol is the most important vote.
pols are another tool to control the anger in America, joe six pack says heck 40% still like the guy I guess he ain't that bad....these pols if honest would destroy the consent of governed for this .gov, so they lie.
wonder what a poll of TSA and HLS and IRS agents would show??
IRS agents would win by a landslide. Most people don't pay much in taxes and most of that is taken from their paychecks directly. They get a refund at year's end and think they don't even pay taxes because of that. For most people the IRS is harmless.
Polls are as/more important that actual votes, they are to Politicians what Banknotes are to the FED-System .. and just as fake.
STOP REPUBLICANS from STOPPING ABORTION
Stay distracted, America!
Some folks are unhappy with POS!
The laziest, empty suit, piece of dung president ever to occupy the White House.
Obama doesn't even pretend to work anymore.
Obama promised the world and delivered absolutely nothing.
People who fell for his schtick must be humilated.
The younger voters especially. They will likely never trust the political class again.
No.....the Fuckbama taint licking idiots are akin to a wife of an abusive husband - can't quit the shit.
The 10%'ers I know that still love Fuckbama still rant on the Bush did it narrative, and blame others/get testy/pissy....try to follow Sauls brain washing....
BUT.....the writing's on the wall....and years from now they will feel like fucking stupid assholes for believing in the fraud, and the entire political system.
"People who fell for his schtick must be humilated"
nooooo...they must be shot in the head.
of course the same goes for bush, clinton, and everyone else going backwards to.....whatever.
and going forwards too.
for the NSA I'm talking about the voters, not the potuses,
(just wanna make sure)
Those who where stupid enough to vote for him and even more those who voted twice know no bottom to stupidity .. trust me .. they will be undeterred.
They might write this guy off, but they will never abandon their ideology, they might get even more hungry for "real-socialism".
That is all true. I was taken in and hailed him as the anti-bush saviour.
Also the one before did not do much for government credibility (uderstatement!!), e.g. collapsed world econmy, failed counterproductive wars on fabricated grounds , torture, dismantle human rights and othe triumphs.
Between them you would now have to be defective to believe anything. I don't enjoy that. The kids will just tune out.
Fuck these polls. The 40% is made up of gov.bots, takers, racists and douchebags.
MY OWN POLL OF FUCKBAMA AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY, COLLEAGUES...
IS 10%.....9 OUT OF 10 HATE THE FUCKER.....
....AND THE 10% THAT DO ARE - TO A PERSON - FUCKING IDIOTS.
My mother, who is a sweet lady, chimed FUCKBAMA! one day after seeing another one of his EO's. I love that term. Rant on!
That's just rasist. How can we get away picking on the Tranny in Chief who is destroying the United States of America? Thank goodness the FBI Is going to rate future news stories.
The American terrorist cells have to be isolated to complete the transformation
/sarc
lol @ the blue "Impeach Obama."
"Nearly 80% of Americans have lost faith in the American political system"
Pffft. Americans in 1775 "lost faith" in their political system.
Americans in 2014 have just become distracted by the September 9th Apple iPhone launch and/or the new Fall TV lineup announcements.
Oreo gets crumbly in warm milk...
The greedy will be exterminated by their own greed on a long enough timeline.... :)
Yep. You don't escape cause and effect.
I am still waiting for the meek to inherit the Earth. No sign so far.
Score a four.
A year ago it was a seven!
My father could never hit a ball like that.
Wow! That shot was like giving birth!
Hey hey now, golfin all day is hardly rest! You can get quite a sweat on your brow ya know?
obomber will not be impeached. He will be arrested, tried and prosecuted as a traitor. Along with the rest of the lawless FEDGOV. Debauching the currency is a crime. The FEDGOV have gone far beyond the debauch stage, they have willfully and intentionally DESTROYED the currency along with the lives and futures of all law abiding American citizens. Add to that a loooooong list of other felonious high crimes and the case for immediate arrest is a no-brainer. All of them go to jail, their assets seized, family's expelled from the US.
Grimaldus
No they won't.
There is simply not enough desire for that just yet. Has anyone arrested Jon Corzine, Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, etc. and none of these people even show the least bit of remorse or shame? Should I go on? It's not going to happen until the entire system collapses and we are not even close to that just yet.
Yeah I hear you man but someone HAS to say it out loud in conversation. If the MSM was hammering for arrest things would be different. Because they are not, I am. Who knows, it might eventually develop some momentum.
Grimaldus
if the 'currency is debauched', how come the US dollar has been appreciating the last few months?
Zerohedge seems more and more biased these days. Headline: Obama extremely unpopular. What will Obama do? Obama taking too many vacations. What is democrats plan? Yet your own infographic shows republicans in Congress are even less popular, but not a word about Republican issues or Republican problems. I know your answer "We don't support Republicans or Democrats, because they are the same. I don't participate in politics because everyone is the same." That will never bring about change.
Uhmmmm it's not the republican's turn for to occupy the white house. When it is there will be plenty of ridcule for that worthless turd too. Until then quit your crying Alice.
Depends on your definition of 'participate' to paraphrase a former impeached, disbarred, NEARLY imprisoned, fined, disgraced, abuser of power, william feffferson clinton.
To our great misfortune, nothing the voter who participates--- peacefully, in this sham of a democratic republic----can do will bring about positive change for the 99%.
Nothing.
The only things that will bring about change, are incapable of being accomplished.
Since the threat of hanging the politicians---- who have brought about or been co-conspirators with---the corruption of all our institutions, the gradual destruction of the middle classes who bear ALL the burden of taxation, the export of jobs to foreign countries, their unwillingness to stop illegal immigration, the entire panoply of grievances, all legitimate but futile complaints we have made, since they are no longer worried about being assassinated either individually or en masse, our greatest power has been rendered impotent.
There's no bias reflected in such things as knowing and accusing them of it, that Al Queda is bent on the 100% destruction of all western institutions for the greater glory of a mythical prophet and some 15yr old virgins, or that there have only been Jews at the head of every important financial institution in the world including our FED, for going on 40 yrs. That's a fact jack.
Obama's true rating is significantly lower. Liberal/Progressive/Democrats are as disgusted with this pathetic twerp as the rest of us but are unable to admit it as their own racism has them in a box of their own making.
Having argued that Obama is opposed only because of the color of his skin, they can't admit his incompetance without confronting their own enormous bigotry.
I'm inclined to think you're right but so far there is not a whole lot of evidence supporting that assertion. People on the left are deathly afraid of the race card being played on them because most are simply too shallow in their own beliefs or convictions.
Fukobola.
Obama "I will not rest" then he proceeds to play golf .... what a prick
I do not get the -68% +4% for putin, don't the us sheeple follow the news, mmm... nevermind.
What's the use of asking them for an opinion?
They will parrot back what the MSM just told them. What else could they do? They have no source of genuine unbiased information.
Rest. In fact, rest in peace.
May he rest in.....
Emperor Barack Insane Obama!
I worry more about what's gong on overseas at this moment and the President's actions. ISL is the best funded Islamic Army since Saladin. It is funded by Qatar's young, new and virulently extreme Emir. Saudi Arabia, more covertly continues funding as well.
ISIL has now vast armaments donated by President Obama's non-action to destroy a massive American weapons facility in Mosul where State Department personnel, while there, reported that ISIL was coming and perhaps two days away. The president did "Nothing" allowing BILLIONS of dollars of advanced armament and munitions to fall into ISIL's Hands.
ISIL, once well provisioned, has take ownership of massive oil revenue as well. Abu Bakr al Baghdadi head of ISIL has begun annihilating our one real ally in the area, the Kurds. Our President Obama watches and does not give the air power HE PROMISED. Christians are being killed raped and plundered from lands occupied since Christ!! WHERE IS OUR PRESS?
Baghdadi's long range plans are clear and he has stated them in detail. he plans to create a new "State of Levant." In historical terms that area today includes: Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and other parts of the Middle East. He has also said many times he will kill the great Satan. His last comments before going from GITMO was "I'll See You In NY,NY!
The Emir of Qatar blatantly supports this while housing Mullah Omar the head of the Taliban (Omar Was responsible for more American deaths than any other in this Middle East battle). Mullah Omar resides now in the Qatar capital. Omar still heads the Taliban that just killed an American general. Omar has bragged that he will rule Afghanistan in less than 6 months after Americas fleeing With their tail between their legs. Omar is currently also leading the Guerrillas in Pakistan a Nuclear armed nation! WHERE IS OUR PRESS?
President Obama handed Omar his general staff back from GITMO to prepare for that eventuality.
President Obama continues to sell deadly weapons to Qatar. reportedly the latest was combat attack helicopters! IS he really doing that? Where are our TV or newspaper coverage of this???
Abu Bakr al Baghdadi has made it clear that he will attack America, the great Satan and he's already taking steps. WE NEVER HEAR OF THIS IN ANY DEPTH!!
Could it be our wide open southern border? Border guards, threatened with dismissal and jail if they speak have leaked! On Lou Dobbs show some reports of Arabs coming through have been rumored! WHERE IS OUR PRESS?
Where is the Press?! Our country is under the greatest threat since Japan & Germany invaded! 9/11 was a small wake up call! This Baghdadi has a country and wealth with a fast growing military ARMY!! Why was NSA invented? Not to look at us! Why hasn't President OBAMA used the air power he promised?
Why does he seem so friendly with the source of funds to this ISLAMIC ARMY? WHY ISN'T THERE DETAIL IN THE PRESS?
WHERE IN HELL IS THE PRESS? Are they frightened children? Our just graduates from Columbia School of Liberal journalism?
"I will not rest" ... Until I fundamentally transform America to fulfill the dreams from my father ... Awake ye sheep
Racism ... Holder told me
Hang in there..Hillary will fix everything in 2016
President Jarrett is sad that people don't like her sock puppet anymore; she made sure he had big ears and everything.
imo, he dosen't care, he's got his and no one is stopping him from his continued destruction of this country.
I would Approve of him if he jumped in front of a speeding semi truck. He would get my vote.
"We will not rest." is the slogan of United Bandits of Switzerland (UBS): https://www.ubs.com/global/en/about_ubs/careers/why-ubs/blog/2013/8/5/re...
Given the new trend of fabricating figures, I don't believe that poll.
First things first: who owns the polling organization that conducted this poll?
The banking mafia are destroying the American economy. First they ofshored all the jobs that could be offshored and now they are driving down the wages of the jobs that need to be based in the US. In the beginning increasing the supply of labor like this to drive down wages made the oligarchs of the banking mafia richer without obviously crashing the economy but over time as the middle class is gradually wiped out and the mass of the population get poorer the oligarchs **kill domestic demand.** Eventually no one has any money to spend except the banking mafia.
(This is in addition to their suppressing domestic demand through the effect of money-lending for consumption and debt.)
Who did they poll? Unions? PUtin is far more poular than the joke in office.
The Kenyan Chimp was a catastrophe to America and the World...
