You really don't read very carefully or else I'm not communicating simply enough for you.
I didn't say Obama's OVERALL rating. He was immensely popular when he was first elected for instance.
I'm talking about his approval rating NOW. The 20th quarter of his presidency.
Here are the numbers so even you can understand how tired people are becoming of his constant promises that never come true:
The LOWEST recorded 20th quarter belongs to Richard Nixon during the height of the Watergate scandal: 28%
GW Bush was dealing with Katrina and the backlash of the Iraq war in his 20th quarter.
Obama's 20th quarter approval rating is now tied with Bush's.
Clinton, Eisenhower, and Reagan all have approximately 60% approval ratings during their 20th quarter.
If Obama continues to spiral (which the State Of The Union address may add to), he will be eyeballing Nixon next on the list (only Pres. with 2 full terms can count because they are the only ones with a 20th quarter)
Yet, the President seems to think that he does no wrong. I think that egotistic attitude plus the healthcare debacle for most of the country is what is bringing him down fast...along with what you call "non-stories" like the IRS, NSA, and Benghazi.
When you have a President who campaigned on FIXING things like the IRS, NSA, and other non-transparent govt. shadiness...and then he proceeds to do even MORE than Bush...then people have a problem with that.
It makes him feel too slick and too much of a liar for the majority to accept anymore.
Also you again (ignorantly) babbled about Bush destroying the economy.
NO. That is not what happened no matter how big you make your fonts.
The housing market collapsed. CONGRESS (you know the lifetime/career politicians on both the Republican and Democrat side) passed bills during the Clinton administration that caused a giant housing bubble.
When that collapsed in 2008...THAT is what caused the banking crisis and the worldwide economic collapse.
The fact that you still seem to be ignorant of that, even though it's been pointed out to you over and over and over...says to me that you are just trolling again.
It's fucking annoying man. Why do you do that?
You seem to be a nice person in real life. But man, behind a keyboard you seem to take pleasure in playing childish games on a message board.
Oh well, whatever floats your boat I suppose.
But it's intellectually dishonest and makes you look foolish to me.
