Can’t hide this decline: Obama’s approval rating plunges to new low

Damn you, Rasmussen. Why must you be so accurate? Why must you tell those inconvenient truths? Why must you torment our beloved President day after day with new lows?

Here’s how the accursed pollster reports today’s worsening news for President Obama:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16. That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President.

The 25% who Strongly Approve matches the lowest level of enthusiasm yet recorded. That’s partly the result of declining enthusiasm among Democrats. While Democrats continue to offer their approval, just 43% Strongly Approve.

Quick, Mr. President. Time to give another one of those rousing speeches.

Rasmussen had better be careful using red and green this time of year or the ACLU may file suit against them.
I actually heard some leftist pundit dismiss Rasmussen as “a Republican pollster.” I guess because he doesn’t skew his polls by over sampling Democrats he must be a conservative.

Does BHO even recognize that he’s going down, down, down?

So you buy a new car today: Make payments on it for 4 years BEFORE you get the car: Such a deal? Well, that’s how Gov’t Controlled Health Care works. When 70% of Americans say No Thanks the Gov’t says; When we want your Opinion Polls, we’ll give them to You and America. ..!..

Mr. President.. Americans are more concerned with your character, than the continual efforts to promote your personal agenda, reputation and ego!

only 16? I would think he would be at -99, considering he just accepted a peace prize he should have rejected, is in Copenhagen to sign away our sovereignty, and has just threatened the congress via the EPA-to impose fascist policy, ignoring the governmental checks and balances that were put in place by the founding fathers when this republic was formed…but then again, he doesn’t know what the definition of republic is. At any rate-his impeachment is only months away-mark my word!

Meat and Water in preparation for a second Civil War? Obama’s job summit be damned!

I smell a start up cottage industry…

I will also sell face masks for those who attend one of his live teleprompter reads (what he calls being an orator) so they don’t have to inhale his bulls*it as it files out at gale force speeds from his Socialist pie hole.

Road to economic recovery- here I come! 8-)

BHO is not worried about Polls or will of the People.. His agenda is to bring down America as we know it, Then reboot it , so that you all will become Government Dependent. Just sit back as usual and watch the tail wag your dawg America!

Time to dust these off again…

(If you did not know replace the ‘dot’ with a .) Safe for work. Not safe for supporters of Obama nor those who love cult worshiping an empty shell of a leader. That last part about ‘empty shell worshipers’ was a redundant way to say Obama again, but in a more descriptive way.

Anyone else tired of this ‘approve/disapprove’ poll crap? I want the poll that says “What percentage of the USA is simply SICK AS HELL of this unfunny joke that is BHO and can’t wait for the file cabinet in Kenya to cough up his birth certificate or for 2013 to get here and for this all to be over?”

25% of an audience is about the number of people who are a bit slow on the uptake and seem to have a delayed reaction to what happened in a given performance. Like the 1/4 of the dumbasses who start laughing five minutes after the comedian left the stage and say “Oh! I get it! Its funny because…” and the group that the dunce was in looks embarrassed to have that dolt be a part of their set. Or the dumb chick who will still be thinking about the movie a half hour after it over and then in the middle of dinner turn to you and her friends and remark, as if she just make a breakthrough, “OMG! The killer was his sister! And he was never caught and got to join the hunt for the killer! That was why the ending was so suspenseful!” In a set up like that all one can say is “Very good Bambi. Should you be sending a txt message or updating your Twitter? Its been five whole minutes since you last did that…” Same 25% believes Barry is infallible (while also thinking Infallible was the best American Gladiator EVER!) and will forever think he is the bee’s knees.

Years from now history will echo that BHO was in fact a total f*ck up of a POTUS. I don’t need to fast forward in time to reach that assessment. Neither does anyone else who can read above a 6th grade level. In a not unrelated note: Liberals in the public school system have run that process so successfully that a select percentage of Americans lack critical thinking skills and have difficulty reading information that is above a 6th grade level in content or structure. Oddly enough that percent would be accounted for at… 25%. Who knew?
