Considering 51%, which in case you haven't heard is considered a majority, consider his presidency a success I'd say it's your credibility that's in doubt.
And what was that number 3 months ago? His approval was in the high 60's.

Considering he is now below the percentage he garnered to win the election.......

Do you think with rising UE, rising taxes, rising spending, that number will be staying at 51%?

You lust for the failure of our president and, consequently, our nation.
You have that backwards. The failure of his massive tax and spend policies and government takeover of industries can only benefit the nation.

5% difference? And Bush at the time had everything going for him, as i've been told (no war, no mortgage failure, etc) how great things were under bush.

5%

That's a few closet conservitives.

Let me read it again..........

5%


(I love the way they list Obama's failure rate first but Bush's failure rate last, and use "only" before Bush's failure rate, almost like it is a positive thing - not any bias at all there)

No income limits and the cash for gas guzzlers only rewarded those people who had a gas guzzler in their garage, nothing for those people who were responsible and have older but gas economical cars. I know of several physicians who of course owned gas guzzlers as second or third vehicles or for their kids who ran out and got in on that scam.
A gas guzzler....I saw on tv if you trade it in for a car that drives you 4 miles further per gallon, you already would be awarded with $ 3,500.-....so from using 1 gallon fo 10 miles if you buy a car that uses 1 gallon in 15 miles....wow big increasement...I thought it was a big joke!

Have you been hidding under a rock? The last 8 yrs have been of Bush bashing ans Obama and ass. are still going on blaming everything on Bush...but he kept us safe and wasn't a divider like Obama...right now racism is one of most heard words and transparency is just a word Obama used to get elected and from that moment he forgot what the word meant!
