His ratings are dropping, just like our planets temperature.

If nothing else good comes from the 4 years of BO, maybe it will be a dim realization amoungst voters that skin color should not be a necessary prerequisite for holding office.

Naw. Sorry, ....lost track of reality for a moment.

But we keep having to hear from the MSM about how stellar his approval ratings are. I'm always yelling at the TV "NO THEY'RE NOT. STOP LYING."

I've been watching this tracking poll each and every day since November. Love the graph.

I blame George Bush for the drop in my ratings.

The covering fire from the MSM can only be effective for so long. They're beyond the point of no return now, so it looks like they will go down with their guy.

DOWN,DOWN,DOWM,DOWN MOONBATTERY

People are looking around at friends loosing their jobs, 401K disappearing, wild government spending,the deficit going up with no upswing in the economy, soft stock market, lack of credit availability and weak foreign policy positions and are getting more and not less worried. IF this keeps up watch for a Democrat massacre during the mid-term elections.

looks like obama scheduled a press conference in response to this poll, methinks i see the ghost of clinton

BHO...to know him is to loathe him...

I have a dream, a daydream I entertain. It's the 2010 election night, and the Dems are getting their ass handed to them. I switch the TV over to MSNBC.....
I want all the people I loathe out of there. My shitlist includes but is not limited to: Schumer, Waxman, Conyers, Boxer, Waters, Murray, Shankowsky, Murtha, Rangel, and that commie who wants to abolish term limits for prez so O can be king for life. What's his name.

Since "Chairman Zero" has been a popular name so far, I propose that as long as the index is negative, we steal from the Goonies and call him Double "O" Negative.

More and more people see the truth.

What, no trolls yet? Was there a "Pride March" over the weekend so they all took Monday off, or.....?

STUNNED, what's stunning is that there are a few of you that have this delusion that Americans will blame Dems for not rising above the Bush ashes over night. Granted, their shortcomings will be plentiful but the atrocities you've mentioned in your post will haunt the Republican party for years. The concept that Dems will be held accountable in the midterm elections for not putting Bush's Humpty Dumpty back together again defies logic. For what it's worth and regardless of the wording of this post, Obama and the Dems still have very high approval ratings while the Reps popularity is spiraling down the toilet. That's not partisan or wishful thinking, that's just the way it is man.

Andy repeats a variation of his usual post, "For what it's worth and regardless of the wording of this post, Obama and the Dems still have very high approval ratings while the Reps popularity is spiraling down the toilet. That's not partisan or wishful thinking, that's just the way it is man."

You just keep repeating that, Andy-man, and eventually you might convince yourself.

Reality says otherwise.

I don't give a toss for Democratic or Republican figures being low.
The point being made here is that in spite of the North Korean style of journalism Obama's figures are dropping.
The props are going from under him seems to be the best way to summarize.
Eventually, journos will print Mea Culpas and say sorrowfully that Obama just wasn't what we thought. After printing that they will hammer him.

Tony, me being convinced one way or the other is irrelevant.
Here's the problem, the GOP's approval;
CBS/NY Times 28%, NBC/WSJ 25%, Pew 29%, ABC/WAPO 36%, Research 2000 24% That's compared to Dems having an average of 56% and Obama at about 65%. That's in the ballpark of Rasmussen, regardless of how you say it.
So, it doesn't make any difference if I'm convinced or not. You challenge seems to be to convince the majority of voters.

The public may be getting a little tired of the "blame Bush for everything" pose the Obamacrats have been affecting as they quadruple the deficit, get caught in one corruption scandal after another (e.g. firing Inspectors General), send terrorists to tropical paradises on the taxpayers dime, bailout the UAW, and prepare crippling regulations on health care and push crap and trade as gas prices rise.

But apparently, "blame Bush" still works on the Kool-Aid drinkers.

V the K, aside from your obvious ideological disagreement with the current administration, it's as if you believe that Obama introduced something new to Washington- scandals. Where was your outrage of the scandals of the Bush years, along with the bloating of the deficit then. Oh, that's right, we need to quit blaming Bush for those things. Bush did for example, give GM just enough cash for them to make until 01/20/09 so let's leave that guy alone right?

And youll never ever see this poll in CNN/TIME

Well... here's a place where I criticized Bush in 2006, on spending in particular.

Here I am in 2006 slamming Bush and McCain. I actually had to quit posting at AosHQ for a while because I PO'd so many people by criticizing Juan McLandslide.

And here I am criticizing Bush again, just last week.

You don't want to play this game with me, Andy. Unlike you, I'm not a blind, one-sided partisan shill. And I have the trail to prove it.

Here, I out myself as a Bush-Hater.

Obama's policies are failing and they are becoming increasingly unpopular. His approvals will come down no matter how hard the media try to prop him up because people don't like what he's doing.

And I'm not going for the Bush baiting either. I was never a big fan, but he wasn't as bad as BO. I call them President Frying Pan and President Fire.

V the K, I'm hardly a partisan shill and I too have criticized Obama and many Dems. I've mentioned here on several occasions that I'm not thrilled with the new Administration's every move.
One thing that I haven't attacked is conservatism in general. Admittedly, I lean left but I do agree with many of the right's agenda and disagree with some of the left.
As much as you'd like to just block out the gross incompetence, abject failures, drunken spending, and shear greed of the Bush years and his bobbing head 109th Congress and blame the ruins on the new administration, that's just not the way it is. It isn't consistent with the mindset of the majority of Americans.
I'm not bashing or hating a party or ideology. I'm criticizing an incompetent leadership that drove the country in the ground.

I too have criticized Obama and many Dems.

Show me the links.

Well, just recently on Moonbattery (June 16, "Hate show with dirty old man"-Letterman), I responded to Mega with "I'm not that pleased with all of Obama's moves. It reminds me of the Who's hit that went "meet the new boss, same as the old boss". I'd say that's a bit more aggressive than that grandma's pillow flogging you gave Bush.

If nothing else good comes from the 4 years of BO, maybe it will be a dim realization amoungst voters that skin color should not be a necessary prerequisite for holding office.

Naw. Sorry, ....lost track of reality for a moment.

LOL!

You obviously didn't read the links if you think my criticisms of Bush were "pillow-flogging." It was way more harsh than your weak tea "I'm not that pleased with all of Obama's moves." Which sounds a critique of Rahm Emmanuel's ballet recitals.

You are a shill for the left and you should just be honest about that, because no one is buying your act, and blatant dishonesty does not make you credible.

VK, there certainly is a pattern on this site with anyone that challenges any points. 1) Cheery pick the opponent's statement. 2)Ignore relevant points while spinning something taken out of context. 3) Attack their credibility. 4) Dismiss them with contempt.
And somewhere in there, add the redirecting of the topic.
Getting back to my post on June 22, 2009 7:45 PM, I specifically stated "aside from your obvious ideological disagreement". Your objections to Bush was on boarder control and entitlements. You say you hate him yet worship him in the same post. That's where you and I differ. I don't think he ever gave a rats ass about the well being of the country. I believe that deep down, if he has any real regrets, it's that he didn't give the banks everyone's Social Security in time for them to dole out amongst themselves before they went broke.
You neglected to touch on my point that Bush kept GM going long enough to dump it in Obama's lap. But that's just one example. His War On Fear ran amok long enough to hand over. His tax breaks to the rich (in a time of war) had to come back to the next administration. And the list goes on.
But the thing is, you want to stay away from injecting Bush into our problems today. Folks like you, STUNNED, TonyD95b want to blame Obama for the problems he inherited. And when someone points out the obvious, it's cherry pick, spin, attack, and dismiss.
But on an extreme right and hostile site as this, where the objective is to promote hate, I suspect it's fair game. But you are a minority. Americans in general are happier with Democrats and Obama than they were with what we had. If you want to think that anyone that doesn't march lockstep to your hate fest must be a shill, or a partisan hack, so be it. You obviously see what you want to see.

My comments give Bush an 'F' as president, and you claim I worship the bastard? You are either lying or delusional. Probably both.

Obama inherited nothing he didn't get to vote on as a Senator. The deficit quadrupled the year the Democrats took control of Congress and quadrupled again on Obama's watch. If there were a little less Kool-Aid in your veins, you would see that.

VK, in the same post you say you despise him in, you add "But is he incompetent? Hardly. And even though I think his policies are misguided, I never doubted that he *thought* he was doing what he thought was right for the country". All that is saying is that you hated that he strayed from what you agreed with.
Your other post scold Bush for basically waffling on social issues. Again, this is not what I'm referring to.
You are once again blaming Dems and Obama for the incompetence of the Bush years, the years that were crumbling while the right were proclaiming "solid ground" and "robust" economy. The War On Fear is a product of the Bush Admin. The 109th lead by Bill Frist was basically owned by Big oil, Big Pharma, Banks, AIG, Haliburtin, and Wall Street. The tax breaks for the wealthy (again, at a time of war while painting a robust economy picture) was at the insistence of Bush and his lapdog 109th, not the Dems. Once the Dems took over, the GOP broke the record on filibusters, even when they got what they wanted. This obstruction didn't allow the Dems to pass much of anything.
And here you are again blaming Obama for the gross incompetence and greed of the Bush years. This isn't about left vs right or Dem vs Reps, this is about a culture of corruption that raped the country for 8 years. That's why they've been soundly rejected and why their popularity is in the toilet.

You can always tell who the young trolls are. They'll deny it, of course, but it's obvious when they are compelled to jump into any discussion in which their hero is spoken negatively about and divert the topic to Bush. The giveaway is that they never say, "I agree Obama messed up on this, but Bush here's how Bush messed up, too" -- It's always "You're blaming Obama for what Bush did."

Whoops...finger slipped.

vladdy, if you've followed this discussion (which apparently you haven't), you would see that my first post was in response to STUNNED. He/she suggested that Dems would be held accountable for "loosing their jobs, 401K disappearing, wild government spending,the deficit going up with no upswing in the economy, soft stock market, lack of credit availability and weak foreign policies".
There's a difference in diverting a topic towards blaming Bush than there is in being in complete denial that most all of those issues were crashing down at the time Obama took office.
