Obama averaged a 47.9 percent approval rating for his 18th quarter in office, running from April 20 to July 19. That's down from 49.7 percent in the first quarter of Obama's second term in office

Because we know how well the first half dozen or so "pivots" from an unrelated issue to the economy and jobs worked out before. Obama will go on the campaign trail this week to an Illinois college where he once spelled out a vision for an expanded and strengthened middle class. (building the economy from the Middle Class Out)

Has anyone noticed yet that Obama is long on rhetoric and short on action and results when it comes to the economy and jobs?

LOL, just like the last Jobs Council, the one where Obama never went to the meetings then disbanded them. It was just a show for the time.

The charade continues. He will of course come out in his big speech about how it's all the republicans fault even though Dirty Harry has been sitting on all kinds of legislation passed in the house and the swooners will fall for it all over again. It wouldn't surprise me at all if another job council comes up either. Swooners will think it's a grand idea and only somebody as smart and enlightened as Obama would ever think of such a thing.

Why does this guy always speak at universities? Despite media claims, college kids do not vote nor do they donate money/time to political parties.

He speaks at colleges because college kids are naïve about the economy and politics. If it sounds "cool" they are for it. In simplistic terms, they are the only group stupid enough to buy what is being sold.

Local towns don't want college kids that live in there towns for part of 4 years deciding on who runs city council and raising taxes they don't have to pay.

I went to a large college in a small, mostly Democratic town in Ohio. Dems on city council were always trying to keep college kids from voting there.

And no one is stopping them from voting. They want them to absentee vote in whatever town they actually live in.

It aint that hard to figure out and it makes perfect sense.

People under 25 do not vote in large enough numbers to influence national elections but they can in smaller communities.

Any other silly questions?

Yup, Obama's plan is working. Forget that there is no plan, him just saying it's working is all the spittle-flecked, swooners need to here. As Obama stated a year ago:

“We tried that and it didn’t work,” Obama said of Romney’s plan. ”Just like we’ve tried their plan, we tried our plan — and it worked,” he added later in his address.

“That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election. That’s why I’m running for a second term.”
