Obama popularity tanking

[hungbrandonfan]

His numbers are falling faster than a stone dropped from a moving plane.

Tell me why you think they are.

[Dino Velvet]

Can I vote for more than one?

Stones don't fall any faster from a moving plane, then from a hovering copter.

People are still feeling the economic crunch of a jobless recovery and there's no promise of an immediate remedy. People are afraid he's not pushing hard enough for the public option in the health care bill. People aren't happy that single-payer wasn't even seriously considered. Economists are afraid he hasn't applied enough stimulus to overcome the inertia of the economic slump and lot's of people agree.

BTW: I never saw this president behave petulantly even once, unlike our last president who was petulant on a daily basis. Republicans don't hate black people. But people who do hate blacks and latinos are likely, if they vote at all, to be republicans.

So just how bad is a 59% approval rating?

Politicians numbers never add up. Politicians don't do math. Example, Bush fired the guy that estimated that Iraq war would cost 200 Billion and promoted the guy who came up with the official estimate of 50 Billion. Current estimates are that the war cost will be north of 3 Trillion.

The stimulus was 2/3rds too small. He stimulated the economy but not nearly enough. The debt load on the public is too high and that's not going to change so long as the employment and wage base keep shrinking. The alternative to Obama's tiny stimulous seems to be the 0 stimulous Republicans so oh well...

The fact that the stock market is going up at the same time that the real economy is going down is not a good sign. I think this is a signal that we still have some ugly surprises ahead of us before we can even start talking about any kind of recovery.

Obama is getting cranky about healthcare but the fact is that he missed his chance to rally his base on healthcare when he didn't push single payer healthcare. He ended up masively compromising on the plan with Republicans and the health insurance industry and those bastards still aren't going to support the plan. Obama has no one but himself to blame for the stall in finalizing a healthcare plan because he could have and should have just ignored the Republicans and health insurance lobbyists.

Obama keeps hiring ex-Goldman crooks to work in his administration. There was another one just the other week. Not a great way to increase your public approval.

Obama's base is starting to view him as being too small of a change away from the bad old Bush days.

Republicans don't hate black people, they hate poor people and anyone else that causes thier taxes to go up.

Obama's 59% approval rating is good but I question how big a deal that is at the moment. For the most part, the Republicans are an ugly mess and people trust them about as much as they trust Charlie Manson. Also, people highly disapprove of Summers, Geithner and Burnanke... but that disaproval has not rubbed off on Obama yet, he still has time to get those idiots in line or fire them.

The stimulus was an expensive democrat dildo for stimulating barny fags butthole. Only 15% of all the money stolen from the American people are for helping the economy. The remainder went into democrat pockets.

I don't accept the choices in the poll, nor do I accept the premise that the President's popularity is tanking in the first place. Framing & phrasing the question is the biggest problem with all polls.

[El Nino]

Obama, believe it or not, is inline with the "Bush Doctrine"... That is to say "Get 'em over there so we don't have to fight 'em here"... Um, yeah pal.

I would like to know your source for that 15% number.

Haven't you heard? He developed his own thinktank.

It just makes me mad when people throw numbers and percentiles out there as if its a certified fact.
