Obama Approval Rating Shows How Stupid Some Americans Are

President Obama’s approval rating is in the toilet with just 39% of America thinking he’s doing a good job, while 54% thinks he sucks eggs. Even more telling are the 52% of us that don’t believe he is honest and trustworthy. These numbers are a blow to Obama’s ego but they shouldn’t come as a shock. What is surprising is that it’s taken this long for people to realize he’s a terrible president.
The Quinnipiac Pole released yesterday shows the President has hit an all-time low with Americans. Many point to the troubled rollout of ObamaCare as reason for the lack of confidence. People should be mad about it, but it’s nothing new for Barry O. People should have been hating on this guy all along.
Let’s start with his honesty. Obama has made promise after promise and not followed through on any of them. He’s lied about everything from job creation to our role in military action around the globe. Click here for a nice list of Obama lies. His guarded history is murky and points to someone who is not truthful. Hell, even his oath of office to protect the Constitution was a lie. People that take this snake oil salesman seriously baffle me.
53% of Americans don’t think the Obama administration is competent enough to manage the government. He got a negative rating for his handling of foreign policy, immigration, the federal budget, and the economy. At no point during his first four years did he prove himself to be a competent leader. And that incompetence has only accelerated in his second term with the NSA, Syria, ObamaCare, etc…
Obama is also an arrogant spiteful man. He mocks people that think differently than him. If you cross him, there will be dire consequences. This goes hand-in-hand with his inability to lead. He can’t reach across party lines to find workable compromises because he’s too busy insulting his opponents.

The fact is, Obama has been horrible from day one. I’m just trying to figure out why it has taken the majority of Americans five years to figure that out. Where the hell were you guys last November? Thanks to wishy-washy fence sitters we are cursed with a second Obama term.
It’s not just regular folks that are waking up to the obvious Obama nightmare; many of his financial backers are realizing they were mistaken about the president. Silicone Valley, which dumped millions into his campaign, now regrets supporting him. Google, Likedin, Napster, and Craigslist all helped put Obama into office, but are now turning on him over the NSA spying scandal.
I found this quote from an article called How Silicone Valley Turned On President Obama that shows how stupid these so-called tech geniuses really are:
“There’s a strong libertarian streak that dampens support for the Obama administration… Entrepreneurs don’t like the government telling them what they can or can’t do with their bodies or their wallets,” says Craig Montuori, a Caltech aerospace engineer.
Why would Libertarians, that don’t like the government telling them what to do, support a big government democrat with a socialist agenda? It just doesn’t make any sense.
Obama’s approval rating is in the negative where it should be, but the trend is not just disturbing for the president, it’s alarming for the whole country. We have too many low-information voters that are too easily swayed by what they see on TV. These “undecideds” play a big role in the leaders we get stuck with. If you don’t have any opinions or convictions, please stay out of the political process.

New Washington Examiner Poll Shows Obama Seen As Biggest Failure Among Modern Presidents

Posted on 30 November, 2013 by AmyElizabeth


Downtrend-There is new poll out from the Washington Examiner. This one is a bit different, though, from the types of polls we usually see. There were no questions asked about ObamaCare or whether or not the respondents actually approved of Obama’s overall performance. Nope, this poll actually looked to try and measure some sort of historical significance. This was done not just among Obama, but a number of other former presidents as well. There were some interesting findings.
This is really just for fun, so I am not sure just how much we could read into this. To be fair, when a sitting president is included in things like this…at a time like this with much anger going around about some of his current policies…his numbers do tend to be lower than after he has finished his term of office. On the other hand, just exactly how much they will improve certainly remain to be seen. For now, Obama is viewed as more of a ‘failure’ than any of his modern predecessors.

Take a look at this info graphic:



As you can see, this rates all of the US Presidents since 1900. Obama is leading the current pack with 37 percent calling his time in office a ‘failure.’ This is more than the 32 percent who considered George W Bush’s time in office as a failure, and even more than the 30 percent who considered Nixon’s time in office as a failure. Among the other modern Presidents rated as a ‘failure’ only Jimmy Carter came close with 22 percent.

Let history note that Barack Obama could NOT have been made possible WITHOUT George W. Bush.

New Washington Examiner Poll: Obama Seen As Biggest Failure Among Modern Presidents

Take a look at the graphic:



The poll rates every US President since 1900. Obama leads the pack with 37 percent calling his time in office a ‘failure.’ This is more than the 32 percent who considered George W Bush’s time in office as a failure, and much more than the 30 percent who saw Nixon as a failure. Among the other modern Presidents rated as a ‘failure’ only Jimmy Carter comes close with 22 percent. Those are certainly high numbers. But when you combine this number with those who said that he is a below average president, it means that almost a majority (47 percent) consider Obama to be at the very least an ineffectual leader.
Something else interesting involves looking at the other side of the graphic. It seems that 14 percent of those who responded to this survey considered Obama a ‘great’ president. While I am at a loss to understand or agree with that number, it places Obama in a tie with Dwight Eisenhower for the seventh in that category.
It would seem that people either love Obama or hate him. Or they at least have that reaction to his policies. If this poll is any indication, it would certainly look like Obama needs to do some work on improving his legacy. Then again, maybe he really doesn’t care. I seem to recall Obama saying he would rather be a one-term president and have all his agenda accomplished than win re-election but have troubles getting his policy initiatives through. He got two terms and he got ObamaCare pushed through. But in the end it looks like his ‘agenda’ is going to have far-reaching effects into the lives of everyday people and not for the better.
Personally I would expect Obama to rank near the top of similar polls in terms of being considered a ‘failure’. Hopefully in the future another president will be able to clean up the mess Obama has made of our healthcare system, not to the scandals he’s responsible for.
What do YOU think? Would you rank Obama as a ‘failure’? If not, where would you rate him? Do you agree with the ratings of other past presidents?
