Real quickly of why approval ratings mean nothing.
poll 100 dems and 79% approve, poll 100 Repubs 9% and you poll some ind's and you get a magical rating of 40% because you averaged the words approve or disapprove.
do that same poll and ask the participants to give him a grade of 0 to 100 and Obama's approval ratings are in the 60's
why do you ask ? because "disprove" when averaged equals 0 and approve when averaged equals 0.
But to Mr. Obama’s detractors, including many in his own party, he has shown a certain fecklessness with his decisions first to outsource the decision to lawmakers in the face of bipartisan opposition and then to embrace a Russian diplomatic alternative that even his own advisers consider dubious. Instead of displaying decisive leadership, Mr. Obama, to these critics, has appeared reactive, defensive and profoundly challenged in standing up to a dangerous world.
“There’s absolutely no question he’s very uncomfortable being commander in chief,” Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, a Republican who worked with the White House to support force against Syria, said in an interview. “In personal meetings, he comes across very confident. I wish I could deliver a speech as well as he does. But it’s like he wants to slip the noose. It’s like watching a person who’s caged, who’s in a trap and trying to figure a way out.”
For good or ill, and there are plenty who argue both points of view, Mr. Obama represents a stark contrast in style to George W. Bush. The former president valued decisiveness and once he made a decision rarely revisited it. While he, too, changed course from time to time, Mr. Bush regularly told aides that a president should not reveal doubts because it would send a debilitating signal to his administration, troops in the field and the country at large.
Obama is pathetic but he is the pathetic President of the USA. That means I support him against our adversaries I consider Putin an adversary. I just feel bad that Russia has the more intelligent craftier leader. Obama is just your typical lib professor that thinks they know everything but in reality knows little.

Most republicans wouldnt give him a 0 when asked.
Do we under stand now, good. Thread closed.
Interesting I figured Obama's approval means nothing because 12% of the population would approve of him no matter what.
Putin lecturing Obama and the American people in the New York Times? Obama has turned this country into the laughingstock of the world. And Putin into an international statesmen. Unbelievable.
We are getting Syria to do exactly what we want without a single missile being fired and all the loonie right can do is complain.
If we get out of this without firing a shot, obama's blundering inexperience had nothing to do with it.
All he managed to do was raise Russia's standing in the world.
The looney lefties can spin this any way they want....the bottom line is that Putin schooled obama.
