This is how the media eats their own.

Now that he's no longer up for election, and he has stumbled on something, they get to pounce to try and distance themselves from the damage ahead of the next election.

I think how shitty the previous guy was has desensitized me. Honestly, it's hard to find anything that's too big a deal after W.

It won't surprise me if it goes up since he has the MSM doing everything they can to protect him also his liberal idiots constantly shilling for him and the liberals on here.

Obama has reached that low bar. You just havent realized or wanted to believe it yet. When a president is killing american citizens without trial. It is as low as we have seen, perhaps in the history of our republic.

Then tack on the domestic spying, the cooling of investigative journalism, more prosecutions until the espionage act than all presidents before him combined, the fail that is obamacare about to slam the middle class. I mean, about the only slight improvement one can say Obama has over Bush is his warmongering isnt on the raw scale of Bush. But it has pissed off the ME something fierce none the less with the amount of drone strikes and violations of soverign borders. Oh did I mention we are now going to be afghanistan indefinitely?

Obama's not been perfect, but you always compare the current guy to the previous. And the last guy set a low bar. A very, very low bar. And Obama hasn't reached below that yet.

Even Bush didn't give aid to cannibals.

I think Obama took that low bar and rammed it straight up your ass :p

Conspiracy theory: The MSM is playing up the Obamacare rollout debacle (thus tanking his approval ratings) in order to divert attention from the NSA debacle.

and don't forget Benghazi, IRS scandal, ATF scandal, election fraud scandal, stimulus failure, green energy loan failure and how ugly his wife is.

I don't think his approval rating is falling for any of those reasons. 90% of those "scandals" only matter to the Republican politicians who manufactured them. Fact, most Americans could care less about Benghazi and the IRS scandal. :)

Americans care about jobs and health care, that's why Obama is dropping.

I think that has more to do with the ridiculous expectations people had beforehand, not how well he's performing right now.


Thats what happens when you advertise Jesus and deliver Stalin.

I'd like to think that him exploding the trust of the American public via the NSA's wholesale spying also plays a part. (Oops, I'm sure I just got red-flagged by the NSA's filters by saying "exploding") Yeah, tack that onto the lying he's done about keeping your health insurance and I'd say the American public finally sees him for the lying politician that he is. The mask has been pulled off. The emperor wears no clothes. Etc.

That's awesome.

Lowest rating ever means he pissed off Republicans the most which means best President ever.

Not really. Obama's average approval rating for his first term was 49%. True Republicans never approved of Obama. The fall is from people who supported him before but have become fed up.

But look at Obama's positives -- he brought Bush and his criminal cabal of liars, murderers, and general incompetents to justice with a large trial covered by all large global media outlets for the sake of transparency. Oh wait, no he didn't -- that was just what someone here said would happen. I'm sure a certain poster would respond but his foot his lodged too deeply in his throat. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
