Nice to see you. If Obama's approval drops to 5%, we can be sure you'll be part of the 5%.

As a liberal I think Obama has been a disappointment but I blame the structure of our government more for his failures than him. He has some blame, he's failed to use the "bully pulpit" effectively but he's President in an era where Americans are more cynical and paranoid about government.

Even when Obama had a Dem House and Senate he couldn't get anything done because of the ridiculous Super Majority/filibuster rules, which by the way are not in the constitution.

The ironic thing is back in the mid 2000's when Trent Lott was trying to do away with the Super Majority/Filibuster with the "Nuclear Option" the Democrats were crying bloody murder. Now that Harry Reid is trying to do the same thing its the Republicans that are crying foul. They are all wankers.
Actually his approval rating does matter because it turns him into a lame duck with 3 years left in his presidency. With an approval rating at @37%, he doesn't have the political capital to pass the liberal nonsense you statists think is good for the country. And although he doesn't need to run for re-election again, the lying liberal statists you support do have to run for re-election again, and if the country perceives Oblama as an incompetent liar, which they do, then your ilk in the Democrat party are going to pay the price. But keep whistling past the graveyard, I don't mind!

Bots and blacks would support Obama even if there was film of him eating children.

It's a sickness, a mental illness, no different than the Manson girls.

If you want to talk about irony, I find it laughably ironic that the very same group of people that touted the Presidential Approval Rating as a key data point throughout the Bush 43 administration are now discounting the very same metric because their guy is tanking.

I will agree with you, wholeheartedly, that they are all indeed wankers.

Hmmm fake scandals....

There is Fast and Furious where the ATF allowed Mexican drug cartels to illegally straw purchase weapons in the U.S. with intent of recapturing them and then making arrests. However, the ATF lost the weapons, they entered Mexico and were then used to kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent. The DoJ has done nothing but run interference on that one.

Benghazi and ever morphing talking points from Dept. of State and the White House. But what difference does that make to quote the hopeful Ms. Clinton. I hope that clip is run 24/7 during the 2016 primaries.

The IRS scandal that is still ongoing. The IRS exercised partisan based harassment. If this had gone the other way, you would be shouting from the roof tops, but because conservative groups were targeted for harassment and subject to having their confidential donor information deliberately leaked to the opposition, you're fine with it.

Now we have HHS scrambling to account for $7B in loans, ACA Navigators instructing applicants on how to deliberately defraud the system, an online market place for required insurance that still doesn't function. (It crashed again as Sebelius was demonstrating how much better it is to the press...ouch....) Millions of Americans are losing their insurance plans despite the repeated promises of the President to the contrary.

Most recently, the Census Bureau and the admittedly faked employment data right before the 2012 election. Another purportedly non-partisan, independent government agency deliberately committing blindly partisan activities in support of the current administration.

Here is a tip, just because you follow the President's practice of declaring there to be no scandal, doesn't mean that there isn't one. The thought that claiming there is nothing to see here, move along, means that there is nothing wrong is just ridiculous.
