His failures, mistakes and poor decisions will place him as the worse President in our history even before his first term is done.

Add in his massive foreign failures, his lies of not closing Gitmo, not bringing the troops home from Iraq as promised.

Record foreclosures, jobs losses, record bankruptcies filed, massive debt and wasteful spending he has piled up.

He has ZERO chance against any number of viable GOP candidates.

Again I will have to explain that he would have to win all of the independent vote and he will not, millions of GOP votes which he will not and will have to get all of the liberals votes which he will not get.

There are NOT enough liberals in American to get him to win.

There are more TP members then liberals in America.

Therefore, lame duck quacking his way back to Chicago.
Exactly....the only thing missing is the term "extreme". Didn't the OP get the memo from the caucus?

Obama lead us into this mess, I doubt that he will clean it up, if given 4 more years. Why give him a chance to make it worse? All those foreclosed and abandoned houses in my area are still empty. But hey, if you say things are better, then I guess we must listen to you, and not what is actually going on.
Apparently you've very poor comprehension skills.
The survey listed has NOTHING to do with the CEO's PERSONAL finances, it has to do with the anticipated SALES of their companies and their HIRING PLANS. DUH!!!!

The fact is, despite your endless "doom & gloom" corporations hiring rampups are the HIGHEST they've been in a DECADE (since the survey was started). That is VERY GOOD NEWS for American workers. THAT is what is going on.

Is it going to take a while to clear the backlog of layoffs that have occured over the last 3+ years?
Of course it is - but it WILL HAPPEN, and in fact it's ALREADY started to happen - and this year will see the pace of it speed up as the year goes on.

As far as all the foreclosed houses - they'll start clearing out too once the job market improves further.

Too bad his approval rating in the US is at an all time low...

Obama

Jobs continue to leave the US because it is cheaper to do business in Ireland or India. Our businesses are taxed at 35% versus 12-15% in Ireland. He hasn't reduced the tax on businesses to give them an incentive to stay in the US and hire US workers.

LOL

Too bad you don't know how to READ.
Aside from the headline, there's NOTHING in the story to back up your claim.

Where does the article even talk about approval rating?
What survey?

It's just a junk article with no information in at all, an NOTHING to back up it's headline. It's just pure political bullsh*t.

Aside from Rasmussan - which ALWAYS shows the President far lower than all the other polls - Obama's ratings are JUST FINE.

Get a clue - and maybe even take the time to READ an article before posting a link.

believe what you want, you are off base completely. I am so glad to hear how well your country is doing, but I will add, you do not live here, you live in a country that borderlines on socialism which might be what you want, but not what we want. Consider the size (population wise) of the two counties as well.

oh and would you like to see who the Libs blame for our problems? No, I think you would rather shut your mind to that idea. I am anything but an Obama lover, but I do not blame him for all our problems. I do blame most on the left considering the congress has been in control most of the last 50 years or so. Isn't that what I said or did you not read that part? Whenever I see women's libbers post it tells me something...
