Millennials Now Split On Obama's Job Performance; 45% Now Approve, Was 67% a Year Ago
— Ace

A USA Today/Pew poll of 2,001 adults, including 229 adults between the ages of 18-29, or "millennials" showed people in that age group are almost evenly divided when it comes to their opinion of the president, USA Today reports.
The poll showed 45 percent of the millennials approve of how Obama is handling his job, but 46 percent disapprove. But less than a year ago, the president was enjoying a 67 percent approval rating among young adults. Now that approval rating mirrors the general population's.
...
Several other polls in recent days mirror the USA Today survey. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll last week showed 49 percent of adults between the ages of 18-34 disapprove of the job Obama is doing, while 45 percent approve.
...
Even those millennials approving of Obama don't feel strongly about his job performance. Twenty-two percent said they approve strongly, compared with 41 percent feeling strongly in January.

Meanwhile, at the Boston Globe:

Happy days are here again, and we can thank Obama

It's about how great the economy is. Or rather, how great it's poised to be.

You know -- like it's been poised for growth for four years.

IN HIS speech at the 2012 Democratic convention, former President Bill Clinton argued Barack ObamaÂ’s case, saying Â“No president, not me, not any of my predecessors, no one could have fully repaired all the damage that he found in just four years.Â”
How about five?
...
As 2013 ends and we turn the page to a new year, the US economy appears poised for a significant rebound, and with it, ObamaÂ’s fortunes.
The economic news from November has been strikingly good.
...
And all of this good news came during a time when the US government was getting over another one of its frequent crises Â— this time, the partial shutdown in October as federal workers were furloughed and uncertainty reigned. What that suggests is that thereÂ’s a strong resiliency to the US economy. Policies put in motion by Obama shortly after he took office (particularly the economic stimulus law and the restructuring of the automobile industry) are now bearing fruit, and short-term kerfuffles Â— even a shutdown Â— wonÂ’t stop it.
Meanwhile, the Â“broken cityÂ” is suddenly starting to look a little less broken. WeÂ’ve spent the last several months bemoaning the logjam in Washington, the intransigence of extremists (especially the Tea Partiers; the left flank poses nowhere near the same problem to Obama as the right does to Speaker John Boehner), and the lack of goodwill that prevents simple compromise. And now, suddenly, a budget deal is in the works, one that would end the automatic sequester, stop another shutdown, and, at least for the next two years, assure some measure of government stability.
Happy days are here again? I think so.

I like his suggestion that one of the few government moves that can harm the economy is the minor, brief shutdown of October.

4 Apparently the Brick of Reality has finally impacted the head of the naive. The reason it's as high as 45% is because some people need more than one encounter with the brick.

15 Doesn't matter. He used them and doesn't need them anymore.

He is looking forward to this next paying adventure. That of acting like a president. The irony is that while he is in office he is anything but the president, once out of office he will all of a sudden become the most presidential ex-president we've ever seen. As if he is still running the country. Making proclamations, speeches about new programs, etc. It will feed the fantasy the media holds fast.

This makes me ashamed of my generation. How can anyone be so willfully ignorant?

I understand that the media isn't going to stop kowtowing to Obama to report something so mundane as the truth, but given that most young people seem to get their news from not-so-mainstream sources, shouldn't they be getting at least some alternate viewpoints?

Ridiculous.

I wonder how many of all demographics that have employer provided insurance really understand what is going to happen when the obamacare T-bone hits them. Either cut hours and cancelled, or doubled premiums, triple co-pays, and quadruple deductibles.

I believe that my cohort really did have a different childhood than those who followed us. It was after I left elementary school that you started hearing about how schools were banning dodgeball and tag, etc. At the high school level they also instituted changes literally the year after I graduated. I don't remember all the details, except for the exit exam which started the year after.

So yea, I really don't consider myself a millennial.

Rule changes have been made that now will allow the Gov't to back bill the estate of someone who was on Medicaid when they died.

So stand by for a fight over mom's estate. With the Gov't.

117 What does it say about the 'opposition' that after 5 years of frankly poor performance, ONLY 49% disapprove while 45% approve of Obama's performance ? How is that a vote of support for those who can't stand the guy ? Maybe someone should come up with some realistic ideas of what should be done instead of what this guy is now doing. Or is that just too difficult ? Anyone who believes that the US is not headed down is not really paying close attention. Trillion dollar deficits. Massive structural unemployment. Totally out-of-proportion defense posture and spending to suit, and seemingly no way to retrench. Unfunded liabilities EVERYWHERE at every level. DOOM is knocking at the door.

124 [Yeah, I know Herbert Hoover was unfairly blamed for the Depression. But hey, make them play by their own rules, as the man said.] The real crime is that Hoover was blamed for inaction. Quite the opposite, he was big into government intervention. Coolidge faced a recession and did...basically...nothing. And we barely noticed it. Reagan faced an economy so bad that economists couldn't explain stagflation. Stagflation wasn't possible according to their theories. FDR and Obama (and Hoover) decided to muck about and just made it worse.

134 But Dr. Conners did not feel triumphant this fall as he addressed a group of fellow A.D.H.D. specialists in Washington. He noted that recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that the diagnosis had been made in 15 percent of high school-age children, and that the number of children on medication for the disorder had soared to 3.5 million from 600,000 in 1990. He questioned the rising rates of diagnosis and called them Â“a national disaster of dangerous proportions.Â” Â“The numbers make it look like an epidemic. Well, itÂ’s not. ItÂ’s preposterous,Â” Dr. Conners, a psychologist and professor emeritus at Duke University, said in a subsequent interview. Â“This is a concoction to justify the giving out of medication at unprecedented and unjustifiable levels.Â”

Are you morons watching Megyn Kelly? She just had a story about a Marine that may be dishonorably discharged because he issued a warning to his fellow marines at a base in Afghanistan using his personal email instead of his marine account and it was ignored by the base commander. Three marines died because they ignored the warning.

Unconscionable.

137 That review found no evidence that vitamin and mineral supplementation would reduce heart disease in pill takers. Two of the trials found a small, Â“borderline-significant benefitÂ” in cancer risk reduction, but only in men. Overall, the panel concluded there was no solid evidence for or against taking vitamins and minerals alone, or that a multivitamin to prevent heart disease or cancer. More strikingly, it found enough evidence to recommend against taking beta-carotene or vitamin E for preventing both diseases, finding they not only didnÂ’t help but the former may raise risk for lung cancer for already at-risk individuals.

141 As always in lib vocabulary, simple compromise so we can move forward, means we bend over and take a shot to the tail pipe. Then everybody can be happy, except the side with the reamed out tail pipe. Polarity is mostly caused by Tea partiers, cause the left doesn't rag on Boehner like the mean old conservatives do to Barry O. Duh? Boehner and Barry bat for the same team, why would their fans give the prog with an R behind his name grief?

"Just Metadata".
If you're on a cell-phone, it's not only time and number called, it's location.
So, you're in Seattle and make a call on your "Hands-Free" DOT approved cell in your car.
You pull onto I-5 and head south while you talk. As you travel between cells, that data, your LOCATION is recorded, with a time-stamp. As you enter Tacoma, your LOCATION and time-stamp. is recorded.
They know your location, route, speed, and 'who the fuck' you're talking to!

You are being tracked by the Federal(Feral) Government.

But YOU are okay with this?
WTF is wrong with you?
