According to Gallup Obamas job approval is at 50%. I find this hard to believe. Is it a function of people not paying attention? The media? Poor polling?

    Probably partly the media is in bed with Obama, but really, the true reason... there are places in this country where Josef Stalin could get elected, so long as he has a (D) after his name.

    I've found three. One is considering what they say or said and what they do or did.

    Second is one is socialist corporatist and one is socialist statist two of socialisms three branches.

    Third applies only to combat soldiers and those closely supporting them (geographically)

    Ratio of US Service personnel killed since WWII in all forms of armed conflict declared or not is 18 to one. Eighteen if started by a Democrat and one if started by a Republican in the White House.

    The last of interest only to those in the combat arms.

    As far as O is concerned wasn't he first elected promising to pull the troops out and something about over the horizon or whatever?

    Bush repeatedly stated it would take as long as it took and it wouldn't be a short conflict. Still the score up until the Iraq pull out goes to Bush and the remainder, the new war goes to Obeyme

    Unlike Vietnam. Same war..score goes to LBJ especially since the reason given (Tonkin Gulf Incident) was false.

    As I recall there were upwards of ten reasons given for the Iraq invasion. One of them was incorrect. But unlike Kosovo there were massive incidents of genocide one of the other reasons given.

    Goes to show some politicians rag heads are more equal than other politicians rag heads.

    As I said, only of interest to combat soldiers. For the rest refer to the first three.

    I would at the very least like to see the benefits scaled back. Put all politicos into Social Security and get rid of their pension system. Enroll all of the into ObamaCare. Reduce their staffs by 50%. Just a start and I would eventually like to end up with your plan fully implemented.

    once again the only answer is "re-elect no one!" we need term limits, come to washington and do what you said yo'd do to be elected and go home. no pension no lifelong health care nothing go back to work like the rest of us. plus we take a couple of old hotels in washington and they can stay there when in town. until we get away from the life long strangulation by politicians who never worked or paid a payroll it will continue to stink. they re all the same, they stink.

    Does it matter? Sock Puppet or Shyster Puppet the only reasons I can see for an approval rating is either he never quit running nor started doing the job or he's running and the two term limit like all else is being ignored or it should be called a legacy rating or he's running for the next highest office. The only possible value would be to a two party system of government so it really doesn't matter since that doesn't exist anymore UNLESS you count the disenfranchised who believe in the Constitution. I don't think they have moved the Center Sign Post back to that document yet but a Constitutional Centrist Party sounds appealing.

    Absent that it's still Democrats left wing of the left and Republicans right wing of the left. Both clearly in favor of Government Party control of citizens.

    I choose Answer F

    I was called by a polling place once and after a couple of answers we were "accidentally" disconnected.

    Approve of what is exactly right. His foreign policy is being criticized by the left and right. ObamaCare has been a disaster. Not many success stories at this point.

    Polling the democrats, blacks, and illegal immigrants with amnesty claims... you might see 50% (with selective calling).

    I would expect more from Gallup but then again the CEO was quite critical recently of the jobs number. He needs to check his numbers now.

    Not that it means much but some of my customers who voted for him have expressed their dissatisfaction with him of late.
