— Ace Maybe the fever has broken.
The GOP's doing even worse but then again they're always doing worse.
Most Americans disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job, the poll suggests, with 53 percent unhappy with his performance and 37 percent approving of it. Congress is scraping rock bottom, with a ghastly approval rating of 5 percent....
Fifty-two percent said Obama is not doing enough to cooperate with Republicans to end the shutdown; 63 percent say Republicans arenÂ’t doing enough to cooperate with him.
I should note that prior to this very bad poll for Obama, the RCP average had his approval rising a tiny bit through the shutdown. We'll have to see if any other polls show this sort of fall.

Didn't his Gallup rating fall 5 points in the first post-shutdown polling?
Also did that RCP average include pre-shutdown polls with post?

Rush said earlier that this poll was done before that horrendous speech he gave yesterday. He also pointed out the AP headline that highlighted Republicans failure but didn't mention the 4 point drop in approval (which would have been the headline if it was GWB). I expect that speech isn't going to do anything to bring his numbers up. If anything, I think that speech was very revealing in how absolutely petty, nasty and unpresidential he is. That speech was filled with lies, horrible analogies, and foot stomping.
It's too bad the MFM refuses to do their job, ask the hard questions and just report the facts. Shoot, I wish they would just report numbers (how many people were on the Obamacare website, how many people successfully purchased health insurance through the exchanges, true unemployment, how many companies reduced the number of their employees, etc., etc.)
In a fair and just world, this guy would be bounced out of office based on cold, hard facts.

That's the whole problem. The press is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic party, and its not only covering up all sort of terrible policy by Obama, its enabling bad behavior on his part.
If they had done their job, BHO never would have received the Demo nomination, let alone been elected POTUS.
Had they been doing their job since then, BHO would have been killed on any number of other departmental scandals, including Fast and Furious, Benghazi, etc and wouldn't have been re-elected.

Yes, he actually said those things. And if he were a Republican, the MFM (delenda est) would be all over it. Instead, he got questions like, "Mr. President, is hard to be so awesome
Oh, my favorite one was: "Why do you think Speaker Boehner is being so obstinate?"
Not one frigging question on Obamacare and the absolute epic failure of the Obamacare websites. Only one person, Mark Knoller asked a solid question about why not pass the piecemeal funding? Of course he didn't push back on Obama's lame answer.

Meanwhile, poor Queen Mooch has had to cancel a fundraising trip to CA because of optics or something, not that that's ever bothered her before.
These mother effers never care about optics. It makes me wonder if they cancelled her and Slow Joe's appearances because they have illegally using tax payer dollars to fund their fund raising travels, and with shut down, the kitty is closed. And we all know that the DNC is broke, so obviously, they can't travel on their own dime.

I don't think 37% support is the theoretical limit. . .its probably possible for Obama to go lower, but he'd have to start doing really stupid things that make his base and complete no-information voters abandon him.
Fortunately/unfortunately, Obamacare may well be one of those things. People can ignore all sorts of things, but a whole bunch of extra money being sucked out of your wallet to pay for worse healthcare tends to attract attention.

There's more downside to go. It isn't the 1% that's working two part-time jobs (or three) to make ends meet. Because (mostly) ObamaCare. Add to that skyrocketing food prices, rising prices for beer and cigarettes. Gas is still above $3 a gallon. If you are working 2+ part-time jobs, you are doing a LOT more driving, and that means more fuel and more wear and tear on the vehicle.

Well, there's your problem. If you are going to do your polling with a bunch of people who know something, that group is going to be skewed heavily toward Republicans and conservatives.
If you poll registered voters, TFG is probably still at 52%

I talked to a white Zimbabwean exile at one point.
He shook his head and said, "When a white politician completely destroys your country's economy, what do you as a white person do?"
"Vote him out," I said, "or at least try to. Certainly not vote to re-elect."
"You don't just vote to automatically re-elect him because he's white, OK?"
"Certainly not," I said.
He shook his head again and said, "Mugabe destroyed the Zimbabwean economy, and everything else in the country. And yes, there's intimidation and yes, there's vote fraud, but in all honesty, a whole lot of the black people still love him and support him and vote for him. Despite what a catastrophe the guy is.

Moderately interesting story, but, dare I say it, a "dumb" headline. Doubly "dumb", because firstly, the true meaning of "dumb" is "incapable of speech", and has nothing to do with intelligence, and secondly, because this is a manifestation of a crappy educational system, and not a measure of the intelligence, or lack thereof, of the people.
Read a little about the metrics used for the survey, and it's pretty damn clear that folks with an IQ of 80 could score pretty well, if they were properly educated.

If the Senate flips hard enough next year, impeachment goes on the table, and do not think Obama does not realize that.
If you want to see liberals get abruptly sweaty and shaky, ask them this:
"In 1974, the House issued articles of impeachment against Richard Nixon. One of those articles alleged that Nixon had used the IRS as a political weapon. Democrats controlled the House at the time. And Democrats said that starting the impeachment process was absolutely necessary given the gravity of the charges. So, tell me. Why is Obama using the IRS as a political weapon any different from Nixon? Why should the articles of impeachment against Obama not be being drafted as we speak?"
There really isn't a reasoned response to that. At least I have yet to hear one.
If you really want to get them nervous, start listing other grounds on which Obama is impeachable, e.g., failure to comply with Article II, Section 3, the faithful execution of the laws clause.

AllenG, it started out with this:
"If you're in negotiations around buying somebody's house, you don't get to say, well, let's talk about the price I'm going to pay, and if you don't give the price then I'm going to burn down your house. That's not how negotiations work. That's not how it happens in business. That's not how it happens in private life."
Then he said this: You don't get a chance to call your bank and say I'm not going to pay my mortgage this month unless you throw in a new car and an Xbox."

Opening up the bill from their insurance company.
Yeah, those two tools featured in that one article earlier in the week (the woman's single policy went up $1800 and the guy's went up $10k/year for a family of 4). They both had voted for Obama both elections and supported the ACA. They just didn't expect to be the ones paying for it. And even though they were obviously unhappy, you know the idiots would vote for him again. The guy (who had an especially virulent streak of stupid) actually said that he hoped that eventually, there would be some kind of correction, and his premiums would go down (this was after he admitted that he now understood why Boehner and the Republicans were fighting against it--which he initially laughed at, and after he bitched "That's $10k not going into my retirement account, $10k that's taken away from my family, $10k that won't be spent in my local economy.")

He hasn't been getting airtime because the more interesting Ted Cruz has been getting all of it instead, something which you can be sure infuriates McQueeg.
But, trust me, McQueeg is still in there and still making a giant fool of himself every damn day. His latest brainstorm being that he says he will introduce in the Senate a clean continuing resolution on debt and spending that takes the country past the 2014 elections.
Psssst! Hey, Johnny Mac? That constitution thing? The one you never pay attention to? Yeah, that. It says that spending bills have to originate in the House. Not in the Senate. Are you in the House? No. No, you're not. You're in the Senate. So have a nice hot steaming mug of shut the fuck up, okay?

No.
Since other polls show that a majority of Americans FAVOR the shutdown, i would suggest that the poll is purposefully deceiving. Maybe the correct term should have been "give CREDIT" to the GOP for shutting down the government...a wee bit different...such as "whom do you CREDIT with the government shutdown?" not "blame." Hm?
Sounds like a journalistic air-brushing to me.

And in Quebec, the people, being marginally less stupid, use the term "patate", which is simply "potato" given a Quebec accent. French fries (actually a Belgian creation), are called "patates frites". Except when they become poutine, which is a dish of french fries covered in gravy and cheese curds. A heart attack in every fork-full. Yummy, it is.
And, Canada being Canada, for official or formal uses of French, say on frozen food labels, for instance, we use the proper French Academie Francaise (official French body to preserve the French language, really) spelling and nomenclature. So Marie in Sherbrooke goes to the Safeway, buys some McCain frozen "pommes de terre frites", goes home, warms them in the oven, and serves her kids patates frites. All the while bitching about the "maudit anglais", no doubt.

14% of the population is black
That means his approval rating among non-blacks is 23%
Half of those people are complete idiots that can't even spell idiot, 3% of them have an agenda (making $$ off him) so you're left with
11% approval among non-blacks who don't have a finger in the Obama pie and can walk upright.
Stellar.

Lazy imbecile, not only are Republicans offering to pay the mortgage they are looking to pay it down by cutting off a huge and unecessary expense.
Or if you want to look at a real case scenario that applies to this idiotic analogy, Donald Trump told his banks to take a flying leap unless they provided him with an X-box, or what people in the business refer to as renegotiating the loan terms.

What, you fucking expected me to give up my free time after I finished my work to help him?

Then USA Today compared this mess to when President Bush rolled out Medicare supplements and said the comparison is "incompetence."

I am genuinely, sincerely mystified that any rational person - and I do mean *any* rational person - would consider Obama to be anything other than a failure. Look at the scandals. Look at the waste. Look at the squandering of global influence. It displays incompetence on a truly historical level - on the level not seen since the administration of Franklin Pierce, or perhaps ever.

You've got about 45% of the country that only cares about getting their government goodies, obsession with abortion, and skin color.
It doesn't matter what Obama does, he's not going to fall much from the high 30's, low 40's.
Republicans basically have to pull off a perfect election to win because so much of the electorate is already spoken for and locked in, and our side like to engage in friendly fire on a regular basis.
