Likable isn't the same as total approval of the job....

I like Obama too. I think he is a cool guy. He wants a tournament instead of bowl games for college football. He is a college basketball fan. He listens to good music. Do I approve of the job he has done....Hell No!
Would this be why the reported unemployment figures are still rising each month? Liberal math?
Remember, losses not as high as expected does not mean growth, just fewer losses for the moment.
...yeah...and? What sort of magic would you like to happen? The economy plummetted and now you're complaining that it's not growing and expanding? How quickly do you think economies move?
Minimizing job loss is a HUGE accomplishment. Having one month that created more jobs than it lost is HUGE given the hundreds of thousands of jobs lost just a year earlier.
Thanks for pointing out my typing skills....your sarcasm is noted.
Obama is failing as President and is beginning to come unhinged..his speech looked more like an angry, paranoid, stand up comic than a President.
Gallup has him at 47%, the lowest it has been.
Democrats will lose Congress in November and Michelle will lose her garden in 2012. What is worrisome to many is the continued support of a failed President just because he is Black. The election of Brown in the most liberal state in the country seals Obama's fate. No liberal spin from his worshipers will change it.
Wow. A real, live psychic who can predict the future!
Care to offer any evidence to back up your claims, or are we just expected to endure tired sports-related cheerleading that "we're gonna kick the other team's butt!".
Have you EVER studied Reagan's poll numbers in his first couple years? Would you seriously be attacking Reagan when his poll numbers went into the high 30%s and unemployment remained above 10% for 3 years?
Yet, somehow, he got re-elected. Hmmm..... careful what you predict, young one. Many libs thought they could predict the 84 future just like you do today.
(and - btw - I wasn't mocking your typing skills. I was pointing out that you couldn't possibly have studied much economics to really know what you are talking about if you go out of your way to capitalize and put a space in "Un Employment". It's just revealing of how much you probably don't know about the subject beyond having a political opinion. It's very relevant to understanding who I'm dealing with here. That's all.)
now you are going to say two poorly managed wars? What 2 and are they totally the fault of the Republicans or do I dare ask???
You say independents but you mention Reagan, do you have any idea how popular he was with inderpendents for starters. ?? of course you don't or you wouldn't bring his name up.

The two poorly managed wars wars at the level of Commander in Chief (not on the ground) are Iraq and Afghanistan. The first for getting forced upon us to begin with and then languishing for years before finally doing the surge and getting out, and the second for being completely forgotten as Bush stopped going after terrorists and instead went after oil and power. He took his eye off t he ball, lost all conviction. Thankfully, Obama's refocusing on finishing that war effectively.
And, considering Republicans had unmitigated control from 2000-2006 and basically filibustered the Democratic majority in 2006 for 2 years (creating a stalemate instead of any true liberal leadership), then, yes, the past 8 years was entirely the Republicans fault since they were the ones in control.
I don't understand your point about Reagan. I think Reagan was great and I was simply pointing out that he adopted a very similar situation as Obama, endured plummeting poll numbers and skyrocketing unemployment, yet somehow emerged the other side to get re-elected in 84 and go on to become one of our best presidents.
I'd just be careful counting Obama out after 1 year. Bush I was really popular his first year and disappeared by 92.

Do you always abandon your morality with ad hominem attacks in the defense of Obama?

Do you always abandon your morality to protect Obama?
So I guess you have no substantive response. Perhaps another one of your cute pictures would suffice.
My morality, with regard to politics, is rooted in stabilizing this national economy, fighting only wars that make sense, building a pro-life society that provides health care for all, and ensuring regulations are in place to prevent another collapse.
I think Obama's marching steadily in that righteous direction.
Well personally I don't trust any polls. They ask leading question designed to generate specific answers. But this one claims 47% approval rating.
And pretty much a steady decline. Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval
