I like how people think they voted for "change", when the troops are NOT coming home, our national debt is getting worse and worse, his cabinet is rife with those who he claimed to be against, and in particular: he appointed Hillary Clinton to be secy' of state - someone who he claimed that he vehemently opposed when it came to foreign policy. So far, i see no change....except larger government.

Seeing how 48% thought it was a failure before it began, this isn't exactly news.

The only people who are surprised by these polls are those who bought a car from a man who touted the new tires while failing to mention that it needed a new transmission.

Millions of people were duped. I'm not one of of those people.
That is only the case if you did not vote for McCain either.

You're right. Someone should have told that to Rahman Noodlehead Emanuel before he embarked on this "never waste a good crisis" mode that focused Democrats on healthcare reform when the bottom was falling out of the economy.

Democrats have never been known for extraordinary foresight. Instead, its all about "me" and all about "now."

The real story here that she won't tell you is that the GOP has miserable numbers next to Obama, the country can't stand them for the most part.

So keep on spinning girl, but just like your latest Reid and underwear bomber "outrage" don't think you'll do anything more than feed the right wing fringe. You surely aren't winning any recruits with all this.
just for my interest, Sanrene posted a poll that was bot Fox or rasmussen.

What exactly did she/he spin?

In fact this news is so "devastating" that Gallup came out with their daily job approval poll take over the last three days ( more recent than the OP's poll) and guess what?

Just released hours ago.

He's at 50%!............The same as he has been for Months!

That's is DEVASTATING! [ To right wing tall tales!]

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval

Considering Obama has only been in office a year it doesn't make sense to judge a Presidents job as a failure or success. Obama has only served 25% of his first term.

Pot, kettle, etc.

Didn't you just create a used car salesman metaphor? While at the same time, taking a swipe at Chicago? Funny. How long did you live in Chicago, Aero?
