2 Polls Today: Obama Less Popular Than GW Bush After 100 Days

Two different polls released today show that radical Barack Obama is less popular than George W. Bush was after 100 days.

A FOX News poll admits Obama is less popular than Bush.
FOX News reported:

The president’s approval is nearly identical to the job rating George W. Bush received at the same point in his first term, as 63 percent of Americans approved and 22 percent disapproved (April 18-19, 2001). One noticeable difference is that approval of Obama is much more divided along partisan lines today than Bush’s ratings were eight years ago.

But, Gallup was not so open about their results.
Judith Apter Klinghoffer discovered this today:

Gallup reports that 56% of the public believes that Obama is doing an excellent/good job. Gallup reported 62% approved of George W. Bush’s job performance after the first 100 days.
For some strange reason this point did not make it into the Gallup press release.

I am not concerned over the color of someone’s skin. I can stand to lose an election (have lost a bunch). I am concerned when someone is elected by MSM (not the people) and then this person immediately enacts laws at warp speed that harm this country. I am not young and have seen many Presidents come and go. This is the most dangerous man I have seen in the office. I am looking at his actions and not the color of his skin. I’ll let you do that one.

An interesting statement coming from a supporter of the savage invasion of Iraq. GOPers spent much of this decade attacking anyone opposed to their MidEast holocaust as traitors and America-haters. I recall blowhard Limbaugh claiming ‘neocon’ was an anti-Semitic slur. What a bonehead! The unprovoked war against the people of Iraq (another 70 killed yesterday) helped America go bankrupt and cost the GOP the White House, Senate, and House of Reps. The conservatives supported this war. They’ve only themselves to blame for their political isolation.

Savage invasion of Iraq? So we’re to think there are now more dead Iraqi’s than there would have been with Saddam still in there raping, murdering, torturing? Belly roll laughter.

Limbaugh was right ‘neocon’ is a synonym for anti-semite slur.

more laughter.

helped America go bankrupt? Obama has increased the debt of the US more in his first 100 days than 43 presidents combined preceding him. Well, that’s not really funny. Obama’s debt, I mean

At least Obama’s boneheadedness, along with Pelosi and Reid will begin the handover back to the Repubs with the 2010 election. More belly roll laughter.

Jules, don’t give up your day job, stand up is not your forte’.

The insane (or is it more accurate to say “audacious”?) are those who would attempt to use an economic decline as a mandate NOT to encourage and facilitate private free-market capitalism, but to expand the reach, power and influence of an inefficient, slow moving federal government. Not just for funding bridges, dams and dikes, which has been its accepted and traditional function, but for controlling private banks, the American auto industry, the American health care industry and most recently even carbon dioxide production. (i.e. freedom)

And the very LAST thing on ANY of our minds is someone’s skin color. That obsession is owned by the left side of the crowd, and they’re loath to let it properly fade into history.

But, let’s be honest about where we where before Obama:

Medicare is socialism.

Social Security is socialism.

The Hoover dam was a socialist project.

All of our highways are [actually] a socialist project.

The levies in and around New Orleans are socialist.

The relief efforts for the people in Galveston [after the hurricane] were socialist.

WTF, the best economies in the world are a blend of capitalism and socialism.

IMHO, all this shite from the Right regarding socialism, fascism and marxism is all about regret.

Someone lost an election, to a BLACK man … and now … many people are losing their minds.

You see, in 2006, the MSM got over their learning curve, and learned just how biased they needed to be to get 51% of voting Americans to side with their team. Today, you see a continuation and progression of this collective effort.

It doesn’t matter what a Republican or Conservative says or does. It will be cast in a bad light. Doesn’t matter how conservative they are, or how “non-conservative” they are. You should know this, as you write about it all the time with respect to George.

The problem is not with how average people view conservatives, it’s how the MSM portrays them. All of them. Heck, I hear you complain about some Republicans being too conservative, and then the next day I read one of your posts, and I swear you were referring to yourself!

Predictive, definitive statements are often subject to being wrong … in the case of this post; I believe you are possibly correct, but, probably wrong.

The series of polls that makes your screed [IMHO] less than believable is that polling regarding the direction of the country has only gotten more and more positive since Nov’08 … to the point that it is now more positive than negative.

If I were polled about Obama’s “performance” as Pres today, I would be “undecided” regarding his performance. I will probably be undecided until the mid-term elections in 2010.

Changes in policy and direction regarding the largest economy in the history of the world take time … I will give him the benefit of a doubt for 20 more months [or so].

If I were polled about Obama’s “presence” as Pres today, I would be “favorable”. He exudes a measure of competency that far exceeds his predecessor.

As a centrist, I adore and support [with my vote] competency in government. Both parties are shite [IMHO] … as are radicals on all sides of the debate. I want smart, rational, pragmatic and educated people representing us in our government … Obama appears to be trying to deliver all these characteristics.

All that said, given the economic circumstances Obama inherited, and how he has tried to mediate them [which are not – IMHO - sufficient], I think he will fail [economically].

The scariest thing is that the Right is going so “wing-nut” to combat their loss of power, that elements of this “wing-nut-ism” may gain mainstream support.

If the economy collapses and the Repubs take over in 2010 or 2012 based on their current rhetoric, [IMHO] one should be VERY afraid about the current world order and this republic.

We need the same thing we have needed from the start of Bush’s term. We need communication to the masses. We need Hoekstras. We need an army of them. We need to kill the MSM that is more deadly to this country than the terrorists.

When you have done practically nothing in your own administration and times are looking pretty rough, when you have none of your own accomplishments to point to, it is better to point out the warts of the people around you in order to make yourself relatively more attractive. That is what Obama is doing. He is trying to make his administration seem better not by its accomplishments (of which there aren’t any) but by continuing to point out flaws in others.

At some point he is going to run out of these and will need to show some accomplishment of his own.

That sums up what happened within the blogs, talk radio and the few TV and print media that lean our way. We all disagree. Conservatives say that their ‘principles’ have to be the glue. Nope. We can’t all decide who gets to be the Decider of the Principles. Some see this as black & white. I see some gray that many can not tolerate.

I do not think it mattered that much (what we all thought) towards the end. More Hoekstra’s are what we needed and did not have. They are our only communication. They are the only ones that have the power to break through the MSM’s Silence. They failed. The Silence? We were subjected to the horrors of Joe Wilson being ignored by the White House. Yep. This one man sent the White House an opinion. We were subjected to years of horror that the White House ignored an intel memo. The Silence? Look at the 5 pictures of the intelligence men that told Obama not to release those memos and give it to the enemy. Do you hear the crickets?

President Obama is getting ready to release hundreds of photos claiming to be torture in Iraq, etc. War? What war? I hope I never read again at any blog that Obama does not really want to do these things but is being forced. Only look at his actions. This is a really bad guy. He looks like an angel. He talks out of one side and then he does the dirty. Over and over.

Back during the debate on whether to go to war or not, I had a gut feeling that the real benefit of it would be the eventual emergence of a democracy, or at least some semblance of a country controlled by the people over a dictator, and the example this would set for the rest of the Middle East/Muslim world.

This seems to be well on the way to being a reality. As Iraq grows stronger as such a country, I look for there to be more and more pressure on other dictators by their own people to attain the same thing.

If only we had been more unified in the effort. How much easier would it have been, and how many lives would have been saved?
