Take responsibility when not required, that's a good one.

Obama has high ratings for one reason, he never takes a stand. Look at Bush, love him or hate him, Bush was a leader. He made the hard decisions he felt were necessary for this country and didn't care if they were unpopular. Obama doesn't lead, doesn't make hard decisions...not even Obamacare, that was all Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Gay marriage? We all know Biden jiu-jitsued Obama into that one. Gitmo? Still open for business. Osama? The Joint Chiefs forced him into that one.

Obama has been voting present since 2008. He stands around and basks in the glory of being the first black president while his minions and the MSM suck it up.

He doesn't take responsibility for anything. He doesn't lead. He doesn't make decisions people can blame him for. The economy still sucks. People can't get good jobs. The IRS and the DOJ are out of control. But, damn, that's a wonderful president we have.

The r's, that's who.
We're mocking the pathetic republican partisans.
You're right, we shouldn't - it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Maybe you can hold congressional hearings over the high price of gas next?

The IRS scandal is a pretty big deal.

It's bizarre watching you after-birthers saying it's not big deal....you guys are as nuts as the birthers.
ACLU, Obama, the media, and Congress are not average Americans.

Average Joe doesn't care, I don't know how many times I have to tell you this, they don't care.

Default "Fake" you say? "GOP driven?"

So, you think God has blessed Mr. Obama, a man who has basically spat in the face of God? Recall his statement, "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam" (may not be exact quote, but close enough). This is a slap in the face to God, and Jesus Christ.

None of these scandals are "manufactured," and we have learned just today that he was illegally looking into one of the White House Correspondent's emails and sources. So much for Freedom of the Press.

We also know that the IRS did not act on it's own in the cases involving the processing of tax exempt applications of Tea Party groups and many others. Those orders likely came directly from the White House. And, these are not "manufactured." They are very real, and we have the proof from those who were unlawfully discriminated against, and whom the IRS had been told to investigate.

With the stock market breaking record highs every day, affordable healthcare becoming a reality for more Americans, unemployment going down, and education becoming more attainable for millions of Americans... Americans have much to be thankful for under Obama. In return Americans have been showing their love for the POTUS:
We have nothing to be thankful for under Obama, and everything to fear.

I got as far as the word "landslide" and laughed so hard I nearly choked.

I don't know who wrote it, but I'm sure there's an award somewhere for that kind of writing.

Poll: Obama at 53 percent approval after week of controversies - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

CNN Poll: Obama approval rating unharmed by controversies

Obama Job Approval Back Up to 50% Level Last Week

You libs are priceless.

NIXON'S APPROVAL RATING, EVEN WHEN THE CRIMINAL TRIAL WAS UNDERWAY FOR MEMBERS OF THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF, WAS 51%, WHICH IS THE SAME AS OBAMA'S.

So if you think that Obama is following the same path as Nixon (although actually a little worse than Nixon, as no criminal trials have started yet for members of the Obama staff), then I agree.

Ignorant or apolitical are not the same as stupid.

I don't dislike Americans as much as you do.
