Barack Obama Approval Rating Highest in Three Years

The American people aren't stupid. They understand whom the obstructionists are. They understand that everyone ought to share in the sacrifice; not just seniors and the middle-class.

They haven't forgot the 2 wars that were financed off the books along with the tax cuts for the 1% that led to the financial disaster inherited by President Obama.

Women, seniors, students, unions, the poor and middle-class Americans understand they have a advocate in the White House who represents them. So it shouldn't be a suprise that Mr. Obama's approval rating are rising.

Yet, Republicans haven't learned a thing from their humiliating defeat just 1 month ago. They continue to act as if they have some kind of mandate. They continue the obstructionism. They continue trying to undermine and weaken a 2 term President. They continue their 'War on Women'.

I wanted to sit back, take some time off and watch the American ecomony improve, see less partisan politics and hope that Republicans would open their clenched fists when President Obama extended a open hand. I was wrong. It's the same old thing with the Republicans.

They haven't learned a thing.

Proving, however, that some of the American people are indeed stupid.

Laughs!

Case in point.

How are the GOP "Obstructionists"? How is the GOP conducting a "War on Women"? Specifically?

The low information voter believes that crap. Anyone paying attention knows that it is just as talking point.

1100 measures, almost totally authored by the GOP were proposed in 2011 alone. I don't yet have the total for 2012. Did the Republicans in the House tackle the jobs crisis? No. They immediately sponsored anti-women bills. The second or third bill taken up by the House was such an example. You know this. Don't play dumb.
Republicans in the Senate have misused the filibuster so much, the Democrats are contemplating changes to the rules in order to any of the nation's work done. You know this too.

Did the Republicans in the House tackle the jobs crisis? No.

They immediately sponsored anti-women bills. Do you mean pro-abortion bills?

No, anti-abortion and anti-birth control bills.

Anti-Abortion is Pro-Baby and many Americans are pro-life. Abortion is not "Women's health" and Anti-birth control bills? Really? Wow, there is legislation to forbid birth control? Shocking! Have a bill number?

"Anti-Abortion is Pro-Baby"

You say that definitively, as if everyone agrees with your opinion of when life begins.

"Wow, there is legislation to forbid birth control?"

Who said there was?

How are the GOP "Obstructionists"? How is the GOP conducting a "War on Women"? Specifically?

The low information voter believes that crap. Anyone paying attention knows that it is just as talking point.

"How are the GOP "Obstructionists"?"

Seriously, Renee? We've already been over this.

"How is the GOP conducting a "War on Women"? Specifically?"

Here's some more light reading, regarding a topic you're already well aware of, but are trying to feign naivety about.

"Anyone paying attention knows that it is just as talking point."

No, anyone paying attention knows what the repub party tried to do, and how it spelled their doom in the election.

The American people aren't stupid.

1. This common refrain has much less to do with nationality than human nature.

2. Americans in Canada, Central America, and South America resent arrogant aspects of our exceptionalism. E.g.: our overwhelming xenophobic appropriation of American to mean those of our nation - instead of utilizing something along the lines of U.S. American.

3. On Gather I continue to cogently present this assertion as plainly and greatly untrue on multiple counts. That the people of this nation unanimously disagree make my points no less valid.

Ya, when he goes on vacation and stops messing things up, I will approve too.

Something to look forward to Clark. This CHRISTmas vacation is going to be 50% longer than last years. Too bad they won't be at the White House to enjoy the 54 Christmas trees they have had put up.

Mark, you are really reaching. If that's all you have to complain about then President Obama is really in a good position.

BAD CHRISTMAS TREES. BAD TREES.

Look, Republicans are trying to prevent the White House from celebrating Christmas! They are waging a WAR ON CHRISTMAS!!

Mark

All I can say is, damn you, for using the Christmas trees at the White House as a shamefully gratuitous means by which to attempt to denigrate the president and his family.

Question, are you going to remain at your workplace during the Christmas holidays, as you seem to expect President Obama and his family to do.

They live in Fear and loathing, it's all they know to do.

They basically cannot reconcile themselves to the fact of a black man in charge in the White House. Everything he does or does not do is seen through that prism, and so it is all criticized with vigour and venom. They cannot get away with calling him a jungle bunny so they call him a communist, a Muslim, a fascist, and whatever else their feeble and febrile imagination can come up with. No facts need apply.

Rory, your raciest comments are hateful.

Yes Richard, I can envision a life in America where the government grows in power to the point where a lowly bureaucrat can make decisions that will destroy a person or family. Any government that has that much power does not rule over a society that is free. Fear, Yes. Loathing of those who wheeled this power to punish and hurt, yes.. that is true as well.

How racy was my comment, Clark?

If, however, you meant "racist" then let me disabuse you of your misapprehension: it is not racism to expose racism. It is not racism to call out racists. It is not racism to decode the racist code that many conservatives use to express their clear, obvious, unequivocal hatred for the president that predates any action of his and there for must be based on his race.

As for being hateful: I do not hate you folks despite your racism. I do hate your racism. Racism is a vile form of hatred. But I prefer to "love the sinner, hate the sin".

I believe that this country is mostly a color blind society. Sure we have a few racists. But they are by far the minority. Then we have people like you who like to stir the pot and point out the difference in race, with almost every comment you make and with no proof that racism exists on our par. Clearly not color blind... Just sayin!

It's complete and utter rubbish that Corky spews, Clark. We are the most welcoming Country on the Planet. Come one and all, if you are interested in becoming an American.

Clearly, vile in hate filled. But we still love you Rory, we have faith that even you can see your errors.

I'm sure some of your best friends are black, but you just haven't noticed it yet.

I'm sure some of your best friends are black, but you just haven't noticed it yet. What the heck does that mean? Try not to use the "n" word in response. It is offensive. I am still waiting for your "proof" of the "war on women". Have any Bill numbers for me?

I am still waiting for your "proof" of the "war on women". Have any Bill numbers for me?

He won't want to show you any proof, but the O administration must be targeting women because the women that work for him get less pay than the men who work for him. To me, that is a war on women.

Question, are you going to remain at your workplace during the Christmas holidays, as you seem to expect President Obama and his family to do.

I will be working 14 hours per day BOTH Christmas and New Years days as well as all other work days the rest of the year. At the very least O should be at work most of that time, too, as his job is much more important than mine.

A tree, OK. 54 tress??? You may not have noticed, but the country is BROKE! We ain't got no money, Baby!

I will be off for the day, but will work the day before and after.

By the way Rory, I am NOT a republican.

Approval rating up and he has done nothing for it. Perhaps another Nobel peace praze is in order.

"the O administration must be targeting women because the women that work for him get less pay than the men who work for him. To me, that is a war on women."

If the women you mentioned were getting paid less to do the same job, you might have a point. But that's not the case, and the holes in your accusation are made even more apparent when you take into account who championed the Lilly Ledbetter Act.

"Approval rating up and he has done nothing for it."

Apparently, almost 60% of American voters disagree with that statement.

60% of the voters listen to the hype, the German people listend to the hype too. Big mistake.

Now you're trying to speak as to why others voted the way they did. Unless you phoned them all and talked to them personally, your argument is invalid. And so is your thinly-veiled false comparison to Hitler.

This may just be a reflection of the public approval of Obama kicking Romney's ass.

Yeah mon.

Things are a changing.

@ rory, yeah I have a feeling this may be the case, I don't expect these approval ratings to stay that long, although If they do I'll be pleasantly surprised. We will have to wait and see how Obama acts in 2013

WASHINGTON The U.S. economy added 146,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, the lowest since December 2008. The government said Superstorm Sandy had only a minimal effect on the figures.

Carl, I'm pleasantly happy.

They should stay high for a while. Maybe even 4 years.

I don't expect these approval ratings to stay that long, although If they do I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Frankly, I will be surprised if his approval ratings stay up. Short of some miracle, I expect his ratings to become the lowest in history before his term is up.

its propaganda... The actual approval and the reported approval are two different things.

"its propaganda... The actual approval and the reported approval are two different things."

How refreshing. I wish more propagandists would preface their statements with warnings. Not that it's really needed, but at least it would be obvious to all those involved that they weren't trying to insult our intelligence any longer.

In tea-bagger reality, all evidence that disagrees with their group-think must be "unskewed".

So, the Obama job approval will have to be "interpreted" in the samew ay that the Republican pundits "understood" the polls that predicted correctly a victory for Obama.

Tea party still hates Obama. But the Republcans seem to have lost independent voters, pretty much.

With their active attempts to drive away the "RINOs", maybe the Tea Party will soon be all that's left of Republicans. Talk about your rumps.

Chris, Rory, R. F.

The teapublicans just can not come to grips with the reality that a black Democrat politician has twice beaten the literal shit out of not only one, but two, of their white ultra wealthy candidates.

It would appear that they are looking everywhere and anywhere for someone and/or something to blame, other than understanding that it's their own exclusionary ideology which is their demon. Their ideology of a party base comprised of prejudice white men and bigoted rich bastrads will be the doom of the Republican Party, if they don't quickly change their private club mentality.

It is so entertaning to watch the GOP go wandering into the political wilderness once more.

On Election Night (I have adopted the use the capitalization favored by John-Jacob-Jingleheimer), I heard the only sensible commnetary that I have ever heard on the Murdoch propaganda network. The assembled "experts" actually asked, "how could we have been so wrong?".

Of course, without any hint of irony, they quickly broke for remarks from Sarah Palin.

Second term for Obama is not going to be happy and trouble free. How do I know that? Because these days, in a polarized nation, nothing is happy and trouble free.

Chris, even those whom oppose President Obama must realize that the country is heading in the right direction. The ONLY thing that can reverse this trend is more Republican obstructionism.

And the American people will not tolerate that. They will punish them mightily in 2014 if they get in the way.

Chris, if you get a chance, turn on CNBC, the business channel. Wall Street seems to be jumping for joy. Turn on FOX Business, Varney & Company and they are seeing the glass half-full.

They seem to be upset that the American economy is doing better.

No surprise there, since they have been determined to sacrifice the economy and the good of the nation to get the black man out of the White House.

Tony

Of course they are upset, wouldn't you be, if all the doom and gloom you had been loudly and profainly predicting, was proven to be nothing but unmitigated hogwash.

Hide your head in the sand. Debt has a cost! Even if you own a printing press.

Yes it does.

The National Debt will be adress to get requires compromise, democracy requires compromise.

Ya, let’s see the tax cut plans first, the republicans and democrats have plaid this game before. The dems promise cuts if the republicans give a tax increase. The republicans give said increase and it is signed into law, still waiting for the cuts. Besides, the tax increases will never generate enough revenue to equal much more than the coins in your couch compared to your mortgage.... Lies!

"The National Debt will be adress to get requires compromise, democracy requires compromise." - genius

Hahaahahaa!!

Modus Operandi...to Leftists.

Right you are, Clark.

Way to go, MJK. You poke fun Lloyd 'Tony' Cope's typos and then laud Clarke's comment despite his "plaid" games and grammar shortcuts.

That and the fact that he alludes to tax increases the Republicans "gave" to the Democrats, about as real as unicorn farts.

Oh?? Show me where, genius.

And, Corky, it's "You poke fun AT..."

Chris, even those whom oppose President Obama must realize that the country is heading in the right direction.

Just because the country APPEARS to be heading in the right direction does not mean that it is.

It is impossible to borrow your way into prosperity and that is exactly what O is trying to do. If you think borrowing generates prosperity, convince your bank to allow you access to unlimited funds, then try to make it happen. Even the banks are smart enough to know that it is impossible to borrow your way into prosperity.

Gee, I guess the government borrowing that fueled the military expansion required to fight WWII never did end the Great Depression and usher in the most prosperous period in American and world history, eh?

Businesses borrow their way to prosperity all the time.

Laughs!

So all we need to do is start WWIII? Really! Businesses and people are only aloud to borrow what they can pay back. When governments do it and the currency is collapsed, that is when you see people killing each other for a can of beans. Sad to see that your solutions end in bloodshed, especially when there is an alternative solution that does not require death. The problem is that solution requires work and that is why your side is so opposed to it. Wooops, did I say that “W” word, work work work! That is the solution. We all must pay that debt back or else death for the poor will be the result. But based on the way that your side is playing this little chess game, you might think that is the actual goal. Population control and tyrannical control of the survivors…..

It wasn't war that turned the economy around, it was the government expenditures to build planes, tanks, guns etc. and win the war that did it.

We could do the same but build solar panels, wind turbines, fiber optic cable, and all kinds of rapid transit rail lines. Instead of killing people we could provide them with clean energy, fast telecommunications and first rate public transit.

It is the spending of government money to push forward all of this economic activity, put people to work earning money they can spend and thereby put other people to work and all of them paying taxes to repay those government coffers.

That and a tax rate in line with what a modern nation requires and America could end its economic malaise and get its debt in order in a decade and a half.

As a good friend says: "Laughs!" Every dime that is taxed out of a free economy and placed into a managed one, does half as much. That is why we are in the place we are in. Give the tax payer more of what he earns and he will invest in solar panels. Why must the government be the broker of your solution, in place of freedom? What makes the government so wise, to know what is best for the economy? Why can the individual not invest the money he earned in a way that fits his own dream. It is the ultimate in democracies, voting with your own dollars, loonies or whatever! But that is not what you had in mind, you put the government in control of everything. They tell you what you can make and what you must spend it on…. That is not freedom.

Why must the government be the broker of your solution, in place of freedom?

You are forgetting one thing. No government that can print money cares one whit about taxes. They don't need them since all they need to do is print money. What they care about is tyrannical control of the populace.

You may be committed to the ideological assumption, Clarke, that a dollar taxed out of the free economy into a managed one does half as much, but the data does not support your conviction. A dollar spent on employment insurance gives back about $1.60 in GDP growth, as per the Congressional Budget Office. Stimulus spending also generated more economic activity than it cost. Tax cuts, on the other hand, generate less economic activity than they cost, only about $0.25 on the dollar.

Rory, your stats seem to be wrong because Obama should have had this fixed in the first 6 months.

mmerlinn, you are correct that is what this is all about. They only need taxes to punish the successful.

Thank you, Clark...and well-said. mmerlinn ?. you as well.

Obama did not raise taxes, he lowered them. That was a mistake, but likely a political necessity, sadly. His stimulus did have the effect of staving off a depression, but likely nothing could have "fixed this in the first 6 months". Clearly you don't understand how big a problem he was left with on the economy.

It was a recession and it was not big, it was only made worse. It is only a recession if your neighbor is unemployed, it is a depression if you are unemployed. The U6 (real unemployment) is over 14 for so long, almost 4 years.

If you make up your own number you can use them to 'prove' anything you want. Every economist and analyst of any credentials at all back in late 2008/early 2009 was setting off alarm bells about a possible second Great Depression. You can spin that any way you want now, but that was the truth at the time. It didn't happen, and Obama can claim at least some of the credit for that. Even though he's black and you cannot bring yourself to say anything complementary about him at all.

Poll numbers on any given issue are in my opinion, mostly subject to the present mood and/or emotions of the general public on any given day. However, when polls/surveys continue to go in a continuous direction over a period of time, then one must reason that the poll is correct and believable.

Inasmuch, Barack H. Obama is and will be the POTUS for another four years and nothing is going to change that fact. The majority of the American people made that clear at the election polls on Nov. 6th and they are confirming their belief in his ability to lead the government and our nation by demonstrating their increasing confidence and support.

It would therefore, behoove those naysayers, to tone down their biased dooms day rhetoric and join the rest of the populace in moving our country forward. Failing to do so, only denotes one as appearing to be against the progress of our country without valid reasons.

{i.e.} I did not like George W. Bush Jr. from the start (didn't care for his father's politics either) and I was 100% against his decision to invade Iraq, but once his decision was announced, I wholeheartedly gave my support to our men in arms. That is not to say, that I chose to support the war, because I absolutely did not. Simply put, I chose to put the good and welfare of my country first and my ideological beliefs aside until the next election.

Yes, yes, I will obstruct any way possible, and until my last dyeing breath! I will do my best to give my child a country that is better or equal to that which I was given. Unfortunately when I was born my parents and grandparents gave me some unfunded liabilities and I will do my best to pay those off. However today, a child born is given over one million dollars of debt assuming that he or she is fortunate enough to be rich enough to pay taxes at all. Is that what you mean by progress? So no, I will not go quietly and I will not be silent as this country spends it way toward enslaving my child.

Which is precisely what they're doing...

Clark

By all means, continue to rant and rave if it makes you feel that you are accomplishing something important in regards to your family. I and other sensible people will just ignore you as you waste your time demonstrating unproductive antics. Because, unless you are an elected politician serving in either the House of Representatives or the Senate, then it's all for naught.

However, you might stop to reason, that by joining the majority, you have a real opportunity to defend the rights of yourself and your family, while at the same time, helping to make things better for everyone. But, by acting on your own, you will have little chance of accomplishing anything.

Oh yes, I can trade my freedom for the promise of security. Join the Majority, really….. for what? A sense of belonging? Belonging, based on what? To what end? This debt has a cost and you think that if I join your side that the party will look favorably on me and my family. No! Plenty of books, movies and history about this. I would rather be poor, alone in the world and free, than to become part of the collective. So take your little blue pill and be a double plus good little boy, go back to the father land and become one with the Borg. Not me, I took the red pill a long time ago and if you want to see freedom again, you can take a red pill any time too.

You only have to want to be an individual..

Your choice!

It is my sincere belief that in America,

Being a Democrat is good, because it demonstrates that you care for your country.

Being a Republican is good for the same reason

Being a Libertarian is good for the same reason

Being an Independent is good for the same reason

However, being a person of any political ideology or party affiliation who denigrates our government or our President and/or our country, is being pathetically disrespectful to both as well as to your fellow countrymen. Doing so, serves no purposeful meaning, changes nothing and neither is it effectual in getting the attention of those in Congress. Even more so, it does nothing to aleviate and/or rectify whatever the complaining person preceives to be wrong within government. But, unfortunately for those who do so, it quite frequently has the negative effect of lowering one's self in the eye of others.

Further, IMO, those who continuously preach doom, gloom, paranoia and conspiracy theories to all who will listen, they, themselves, become apart of the problem, never the solution. I also believe that most such negative prophets, are people who exhibit the extremist far right ideological reasoning and belief mentality, live a morbid delusional life. Thereby, they attempt to entice as many others as possible to keep them company and share their self made hell on earth.

Sure, that is but one perspective. But it works to hid the slippery slope, the slow walk toward enslavement. Yes it may sound like doom and gloom, but if it is the truth, do I not have the right or the obligation to warn my fellow countrymen about your words that hide the trap?

This is the lunacy of the tea-baggers that America has successfully repelled for the time being:

Obama does not meet the definition of a Socialist, but he is one because I can define words any way I want to do.

This is the end of rationality, when everything has a "private", idiosyncratic meaning.

This is a terrific thread to read. The Obama haters that are commenting have given me more entertainment tonight then I would have gotten if I'd went to the bar or the movie theater.

Here are some things I noticed:

The irony of Clark V. calling Obama a socialist and how terrible socialism is, and then in the very next sentence telling Rory that he is going to get him kicked off for stating his opinion. I'm pretty sure that restriction of free speech is one of the tenets of socialism. Don't worry, Rory. If you get kicked off for that comment I'll speak to someone about it.

Another one for Clark V. I find it decidedly unpatriotic that you are still hating on Obama after the election has ended. During an election talking crap about the candidate you don't support is acceptable. After the election has ended it's just unpatriotic. We should support our President no matter what once he is elected, unless he commits a crime or something. If Romney had won the election (Heaven forbid) I would have supported him as President. I wouldn't have agreed with his policies, but I wouldn't have talked negatively about him, just like I no longer publish articles about him now that the election is over, even though I'm pretty sure he still thinks that half of America are moochers and that the rich and fat need to get richer and fatter while the poor starve. But, the election is over, so there is no reason to rail on him anymore. That goes double for Obama since he actually is President of the United States.

Renee - Seriously, when is the GOP not waging a war on women? That's got to be some really thick sand that you got your head buried in if you think that what the GOP believes about women's right to their own bodies is actually what women want.

To whoever started the discuss on Christmas trees: Seriously? You're going to complain about Christmas trees and vacations? First of all, the man has earned a vacation. He just spent the last few months working his ass off to earn a second term and he deserves however long he wants to take. Also, I'm pretty sure it's the White House staff that decide how to use whatever budget they have set aside for Christmas decorations. I think President Obama has more to do than decide how many Christmas trees to put up.

Gabriel

Actually, I believe that it is the First Lady who has always had the duty to inspire the decorating of the White House for all seasons, with the house staff to assist. With that said, you are right, it is a feeble attempt to once again denigrate the President simply because he was not their choice to lead our country.

Using decorations and the Christmas Holidays for a vacation, as complaints to be leveled against the President, is as you have indicated, an unjustifiably ridiculous charge in it's entirety. Additionally, in my opinion, it is the demonstration of a childish vengeful attitude on the part of the person making the complaint.

However, when pointing out such fallacies, inaccuracies and unjustified charges to the complainer, they will always retort that you are attempting to take away their freedom of speech. They are quick to wrap themselves in the Constitution, while being disrespectful of the candidate chosen by the majority to lead our country. Doing so, by using the articles of that sacred document as personal protection for their actions and speech. A malcontent display of what I personally feel is an unAmerican mentality, being just the opposit of what the Constitution granted in the article concerning freedom of expression.

Unfortunately, those who speak denigratingly and diisrespectfully of our President, always claim that they are only expressing that which the majority of the American populace are too blind to see for themselves. This is a totally disingenuous statement in and of it's self. Inasmuch, as to inform people of a president's inability to lead our nation, does not require the informer to be disrespectful and denigrating when doing so. Albeit, the whole charge being nothing more than the venting one's personal dislike of the President. Such charges have nothing to do with freedon of speech nor the want to inform the public of the President's preceived shortcomings.

The really sad part, is the fact that when challenged for making such remarks about our President, the person so challenged, will always invoke the Constitution. Erroneously claiming that they are within their rights to do so, because the Constitution gives them the right to speak as they wish. In actuality, the Constitution does no such thing. It only grants all Americans the right to speak what one believes and be heard without fear of retribution. Nowhere, in the Constitution is there any provision for an individual or a group of people, being granted the right to lie, denigrate nor to cast disingenuous dispersion upon another American citizen.

When considering what such malcontent people claim to be their Constitutional right, one finds their claim to be invalid. Since in all courts of law, such open disparaging of another person, is considered as being liable for "Defamation of Character", not "Freedom of Speech". The two are not interchangeable nor to be confused, one being a granted right, the other being a violation of documented law.

Maybe you all miss understand I would probably be railing against Mitt right now for doing things that are against the constitution, if he had won the election. He was not my guy! I would stand up for him if he was correct about something but I also would call him out when he was not. As for Rory, I would never report him for anything he said as I believe that speech is a God given right regardless of the constitution or dictator that he lives under.

Can you all call your leader out for his wrongs or do you have blind faith?

"We should support our President no matter what once he is elected, unless he commits a crime or something."

Gabriel, what part of that statement don't Republicans understand? Sometimes I feel they hate Democrats because we love our President and love our country.

P.S I'm loving this thread also. The opposition is really reaching when they attack Christmas decorations. And for any Republican to deny there was and still is a 'War On Women' shows just how much they are in denial.

Can't wait for Hillary Clinton to run in 2016.

The part in which he HAS committed several crimes. Wake up.

No charges against him and no convictions. That means saying he has committed crimes is slander. Not surprising coming from someone who thinks it is a crime for a man with his skin colour to be the occupant of the White House.

(Go ahead, deny it hotly now.)

Race, again , really.... one trick pony....

Sexism, Rea.ly, not you too Lloyd, I am sure you wanted to vote for Palin in for president as I did...

Ok so the accusation exists. What can be done about it. He is above the law, because the senate is owned by the other party. The republicans could convict him in the house but what is that worth if that is as far as it goes. But frankly why would the republicans want to convict him when half are as liberal as the president.

What "accusation" are you talking about? Whether he's above the law or not is irrelevant (not to mention false) because there has never been an criminal accusation. Are you just making stuff up so that you can make it sound like Obama is guilty of something?

"Sexism, Rea.ly, not you too Lloyd, I am sure you wanted to vote for Palin in for president as I did..."

Clark, Sarah Palin was the most incompetent choice for Vice President in American history. Palin was the least educated vice presidents in recent history.

Mr.s Palin never followed through and received a degree. How can you compare her to Harvard educated law school professor President Obama or Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The Republican Party is full of people born with silver spoons in their mouths.

Just look how stupid Rick Perry, Herman Cain and the 'Rape' candidates came off. They were all a disgrace. That is why you just suffered a humiliating defeat in November.

Isn't that the entire Republican platform, Gabriel: making stuff up.

Pretty sure it's actually written into their mission statement.
