Gallup: Obama down to 46% approval.

[kcballer]

Anyone old enough to remember Reagan remembers the national pride, strength, and self respect Reagan projected.  

Obama is the opposite of that in every single area.    
 

self respect for whom?  Whites? Cause reagan sure as sh*t didn't care much for other races.  look it up if you must. 

[Dos Equis]

awww i hit a sore spot with the truth there beachy?  

Nope.  Just responding to an absurd overstatement. 

[Soul Crusher]

self respect for whom?  Whites? Cause reagan sure as sh*t didn't care much for other races.  look it up if you must. 

Self respect for our nation, our history, the founders, and the country as a whole. 

Ask anyone who remember those years other than the far left kooks.

Reagan started as a Dem and changed parties to get elected.  Reagan borrowed a shitload of money, didn't he?  Way more than Carter.  And he taxed the shit out of people?  And he called to remove the world of nukes?  And by the 84 debates, he was showing a great deal of the early signs of alzheimers, which many doctors agree upon.

at=46

Reagan was a great man.  He loved America and was one strong badass.  I wish the GOP could find another Reagan.  But he often is assigned this perfect title by repubs.  He did a LOT of RINO things, way more RINO than Tea Party, guys.  He was probably best descirbed as Romney meets Fred Thompson, 30 years early. 

Great man, but not perfect.

Reagan got even less to work with from Carter and he turned the economy around, so don't be an idiot.

I guess you missed this very important information posted by 333 on another thread.  Here, educate yourself:

The federal government is now $13 trillion in the red, the Treasury Department reported Wednesday, marking the first time the government has sunk that far into debt and putting a sharp point on the spending debate on Capitol Hill.

Calculated down to the exact penny, the debt totaled $13,050,826,460,886.97 as of Tuesday, leaping nearly $60 billion since Friday, the previous day for which figures were released.

At $13 trillion, that figure has risen by $2.4 trillion in about 500 days since President Obama took office, or an average of $4.9 billion a day. That's almost three times the daily average of $1.7 billion under the previous administration, and led Republicans on Wednesday to place blame squarely at the feet of Mr. Obama and his fellow Democrats.

Reagan got even less

are you totally sure that he had worse?

[Soul Crusher]

are you totally sure that he had worse?

And he had a Dem Congress to deal with. 

Now, Obama and the Dems (Who have been in control since 2006), have no more excuses for the disaster that is going to occur.

Poll: 41% Strongly Disapprove of Obama's Performance
Friday, 04 Jun 2010     

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 25% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -16 (see trends).

Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 70% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 16% Strongly Approve and 46% Strongly Disapprove.

Seventy percent (70%) of voters favor strong sanctions against employers who hire illegal immigrants. Fifty percent (50%) favor sanctions on landlords who provide housing for illegal immigrants. Fifty-eight percent (58%) say a child born to an illegal immigrant in this country should not automatically become a citizen of the United States.

Only 55% of homeowners believe their home is currently worth more than the mortgage. Twenty-seven percent (27%) expect the value of their home to go up in the next year while 21 expect a decline in value.

The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.

Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) disapprove.

John Edwards was right, we are two America. 

One is the producing, tax paying, and responsible people looking to be free, self sufficient, and left alone. 

The other half are mostly people expecting free shit from the government.

46% of Americans disapproved of Obama on voting day in 2008.

It seems 53% did approve of him on that day, however.

So the Q is... what can Repubs do to raise that 41% number they currently brag about?  When ever Rass admits Obama has a strong 45% approval rating (up 3 or 4 points from their position 2 weeks ago), it seems Obama is actually RISING in popularity as short-sighted angey people forget all about healthcare in light of the Lee vs. Crystal American Idol Final.  With Big Brother starting in early July, they'll have blinders on as Obama shoves cap/trade down our throats, with a new season of "The Biggest Loser" ushering in the fall lineup.  

If only repubs would only stop writing down their anger on their hand in pen, they might remember on voting day to get up off their asses and vote for a republican.  Nope.  They'll pick another RINO for obama to trample.

[dario73]

are you totally sure that he had worse?

"woe is me"...Obama's next slogan.  Yes, Reagan had it worse and he did not have a filibuster proof majority in both houses.

Every president has inherited some kind of political or financial problem from their predecesor. I don't see any of you posting about how Bush inherited over 2 million jobs lost, rising interest rates, stalled home construction and Al Qaeda from Clinton.

But, lets even suggest what is not true. That Obama inherited a worst economy than Reagan. Why can't the messiah fix it?  He was touted as this genius who would resolve all that ailed the country. Where are his solutions besides blaming it all on Bush and the GOP?  The blaming game can only go so far. Eventually, Obama has to provide real solutions or end up as the worst 1 term president of all time.

Now, did you see this or are you going to ignore it?
"At $13 trillion, that figure has risen by $2.4 trillion in about 500 days since President Obama took office, or an average of $4.9 billion a day. That's almost three times the daily average of $1.7 billion under the previous administration, and led Republicans on Wednesday to place blame squarely at the feet of Mr. Obama and his fellow Democrats."
