You left out, "throwing Christians to the lions".
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Which reminds me, it's time to modernize another sophmoric little joke (that, I am ashamed to admit, I used to laugh at when it first cropped up during Reagan's tenure in office):

Why is Michelle always on top?

Because Barack can only fcuk up.

I think the reason his approval  numbers went up is because he and congress went on vacation.  When he is not there, things go well
