No dumbass, he has pretty much pissed of everyone.

What's somewhat tragically amusing is that the one you quoted was fried by the powers that be, the one he is thrilled about supporting "terrur, terrur, terrur" penalties which might have been used to lock him up for what he did and the key thrown away.

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

The sad irony is that by supporting the Republicans as a means of disapproval of the Democrats, they're supporting a party that is even worse for jobs, job quality, and health care.

GW said he never paid attention to polls.
So what's good for one president should be good for another.
And besides, I bet if the election were re held today, again with Romney, the black guy would still easily win.
The market is soaring.
Employment is up.
No sex scandals.
To give this president low approval rating is not necessarily because he has done badly.
More so, that he has not pushed his agenda enough and more forceful.
That he has not been "Obama" enough.
In other words, low approval because he has not kicked enough ass.
Not pushed Obamacare enough, and not openly pushed his other agenda issues enough.
At this point, people want a president that kicks ass, fights against the right wing spin machine, and calls out those that would spread misinformation.

If Obama ratings have taken a dive of late, it would be because he gave in to republicans on ACA and that 5% complaining about keeping their crappy insurance policies.
Obama should have never apologized for trying to protect people from snake oil insurance salesmen.
That would be reason #1 his ratings have dropped, not because anything he has done wrong.

We're talking the GW era vs Obama era here, to some respect.
That comparison is no comparison.
The difference is black and white. No pun intended.
We want is a president that kicks ass.
And there is plenty of republican ass to be kick, as if we haven't noticed.
People do want healthcare reform, women rights protected, and social issues advanced.
The lack of this president to kick ass to get this done is the only reason his poll numbers are in question.
That all.

The sad thing is you probably believe that.

That he has not been "Obama" enough.

Not pushed Obamacare enough, and not openly pushed his other agenda issues enough.
At this point, people want a president that kicks ass, fights against the right wing spin machine, and calls out those that would spread misinformation.

No dumbass, people want a President that doesn't lie through his teeth to get a bill passed that people didn't want to begin with.

If Obama ratings have taken a dive of late, it would be because he gave in to republicans on ACA and that 5% complaining about keeping their crappy insurance policies.

His ratings have taken a dive because he got up in front of the whole country and lied through his teeth, repeatedly. Then lied about his lie. People are getting fed up with this crap.

Yes, clearly you are correct. I mean, there are still some parts of American that function! The American people aren't going to stand for that! We demand that he do to other industries what he's done to health care! Destroy the country! Burn, baby, burn!

And while he's at it, we demand that government make up even more money and give it to rich people so that they can loan it back to government. It's really the only sane solution, and we can always just change our definitions of unemployed again.

I genuinely believe you need medical attention. If you are not currently receiving professional help for whatever mental illness you have you should be. You are extremely unhinged, and I refuse to believe it's not negatively affecting major areas of your life. What I'm saying is, the issues you have are not bottled up and only relieved here on Anandtech.

As you said in another thread, reforming government is necessary. Ending the political party duopoly in Washington would be a start, but it will never happen.

The market is soaring. (It's a bubble)
Employment is up. )Yes..at WalMart and fast-food joints.PS:Unemployment is down because people have fallen off the grid entirely.)
No sex scandals.
To give this president low approval rating is not necessarily because he has done badly.
More so, that he has not pushed his agenda enough and more forceful. (He's pushed quite enough.)
That he has not been "Obama" enough.
In other words, low approval because he has not kicked enough ass.

At this point, people want a president that kicks ass, fights against the right wing spin machine,(Wait,wut? anytime there's a stupid spin on anything..It's the liberal media and/or leftist websites.) and calls out those that would spread misinformation. (You mean mainstream media and his ministers of propaganda,right?)

Yes, because protecting people from "snake oil insurance salesmen" naturally means FORCING PEOPLE TO BUY INSURANCE FROM THEM!!!

Do you even listen to yourself or read what you've typed?

You are welcome to continue making excuses for Obama.

But the fact that you can't site any of his accomplishments indicates how much his administration has failed.

Yes, your Obama is good at making excuses.

While being good at making excuses may make him a good politician, it doesn't make him good at being a leader ...

Every time the righties make the claim he has no accomplishments someone invariably lists dozens of them. Followed my righties sticking their fingers in their ears and going "na, na, na, na, na, na, I'm not listening". So I've stopped doing that. It's not my job to teach those with mental deficiency (conservatism). I'm not a special education teacher. I don't even make excuses for his shortcomings. He's had a shitty last year. I just find it amusing that someone who is one of the worst Democrat Presidents is still better than any Republican one since before Nixon.

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

Don't forget the DJIA setting yet another record. He has more than doubled the DJIA during his presidency. This bull run on the market is absolutely epic. I would like to personally thank Obama for this. It could have NEVER happened under a Republican president. I shudder to think where our economy and market would be under those buffons.

He still has more then 2 years remaining, he will spin up something to distract people. And then Republicans are masters at putting their own foot in their mouth. He will recover, he has to, otherwise Clinton will be in deep shit, her opponents will paint her with the same brush. And then he has to leave a legacy so that his wife and then the daughters can rule the nation after Hillary.
