Keep whining about Bachmann while your loser president fails every minute of every day. I have failed to clearly articulate the level of his failure for there is no word to currently describe it. "Epic", "legion" etc etc, don;t do it justice. He should quit and move to Saturn.

Public pessimism about the direction of the country has jumped to its highest level in nearly three years, erasing the sense of hope that followed President Obama’s inauguration and pushing his approval ratings to a record low, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
More than 60 percent of those surveyed say they disapprove of the way the president is handling the economy and, what has become issue No. 1, the stagnant jobs situation. Just 43 percent now approve of the job he is doing overall, a new career low; 53 percent disapprove, a new high......
By this time in their presidencies, approval ratings for both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton — who also suffered serious midterm setbacks during their first term — had settled safely above the 50 percent mark. Both then stayed in positive territory throughout their reelection campaigns.
When ratings for George W. Bush slipped into the low 40s during his second term in office, they remained there or lower for the remainder of his presidency.
Obama does, however, rate better than do congressional Republicans, his adversaries in recent, fierce confrontations on federal spending. Just 28 percent approve of the way Republicans in Congress are doing their job, and 68 percent disapprove, the worst spread for the GOP since summer 2008.
Unfortunately for Obama, "congressional Republicans" won't be the alternative on the 2012 ballot.
And for all the talk about how "congressional Republicans" poll lower than Obama, when respondents are asked, "Who do you trust to do a better job" on key economic issues the GOP is close to or actually leads Obama:
On "Handling the economy " Obama is at 42%, the GOP is at 39
On "Creating jobs" Obama and the GOP tie at 40%
And on "Handling the federal budget deficit" the GOP leads Obama 42% to 39.
The poll sample is 1,001 adults and not registered voters (where GOP usually does better) and breaks down to 33% Democrats, 24% Republican and 36% independent. There's no way to predict what the electorate is going to be next year but you can compare it to the '08 exit polls...39% Democrats, 32% Republican 29%, independent. Clearly the Democratic turnout. If you really think GOP turnout is going to be lower and all the shrinkage goes to indies, good luck with that.
