Gallup: Obama approval rating dips to 39%
   
That 104% approval from liberals so often cited doesn't seem to be lifting these numbers. 

====

President Obama hit a dubious milestone today, sinking below a 40% approval rating in the Gallup daily tracking poll.

Only 39% of respondents approve of Obama's job performance in today's Gallup survey, which calculates a three-day rolling average.

Another 54% disapprove of Obama's performance.

3. I don't know about worst election ever
   
but it appears there is no end in sight to the lunacy. Can you believe it that 2012 is fourth months away and we are still in Afghanistan and Iraq?

Thanks for reminding the DUmmies about that. Oh, and don't forget , GitMo is still open for business.

Awww, don't feel bad roxiejules --

The Democrats will always win D.C. - and you'll get to reap all of those Electoral College votes....

Come on, DUmmies!  What happened to the hope and change?  What happened to Obama parting the seas?  What about all of us coming together and stopping the wars?  The other countries were going to love us instead of hate us!  Everyone was going to live in peace, harmony, and happiness!

What happened to hope and change?  Come on...............don't give up so soon. 

What happened to this?  Are you really giving up on Obama? 




Hate to say it, but we told you so.

You don't hear much about giving DC the vote any more now that it has a white majority. Go fig.

If I don't have this done in three years, then there's gonna be a one-term proposition.

Big Don, can we go another 18 months of this Obama crap before we are permanently damaged ??? 

Every time another Nation declares war on America and we kick their butts, we jump in after and rebuild them.  This time it is not another nation that declared war on our country but an elected bunch of gangsters that are taking us down without one shot fired.        So how can we rebuild ourselves , We have few friends left now that Obama has insulted and kicked most of our friendly country's in the teeth.

We have some brilliant people that believe they can beat Obama in the next election, they may very well do so, but how to put Humpty Dumpty back on the wall?????    Is America Humpty Dumpty, are we being pushed off the wall ?????

It's very unsettling how much damage can be done in such a short time frame.  Two years of pure moonbat rule, and look what they did. 

I got an email news thing today, that said that New York had flipped on Obama since June.  49% disapproval, 45% approval.

Ladies and gentlemen, lest we forget, Carter had even LARGER majorities in Congress in 1977, and didn't surrender them even after the 1978 midterms.

We've survived far, far worse in our lifetimes.  Hate to say it, but a few times every century, Americans are hell-bent to put a completely unqualified disaster into office to remind themselves why they won't do it again--until the next time.

I'm not sure about far, far worse in our lifetimes; it depends on where you put Carter. I'd say this is almost as bad as it has gotten since WWII.

Worse, possibly, I don't know about 'Far' worse.  I don't recall the Democrat Congressional leadership being as venal, visionless, and backbiting in the Carter/Reagan era, they actually had some sort of tie to a reality beyond simply preserving their own power.

Here's where I say the Carter years were "far" worse:

--Much higher inflation
--Unemployment on par with current levels
--Iran hostage crisis
--Windfall profits tax and subsequent gas lines/rationing
--Giveaway of Panama Canal
--Olympic boycott of 1980

Now, I will say that the spending and taxation we currently face is in fact MUCH worse than 1979--but BOTH parties are to blame for that one.  Government spending is at the highest-ever percentage when compared to GDP.  I will agree that there are no "moderate" Democrats that seem to be left in the House and Senate compared to the guys like Sam Nunn, Scoop Jackson, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan.  But the voters are to blame for that one because they fail to notice the ever-leftward shift of the Democrat party, instead mindlessly pulling the "D" lever, thinking that the Democrats are still the party of FDR and JFK, and not of avowed socialists like the Progressive Caucus.
