    I'm hearing insider reports of a dual resignation - President Boehner, your country is calling.

    This is obviously skewed. The time slice isn't granular enough. I want to know at 1:19 PM on December 17 ...of the 2nd term, who had the lowest approval rating!!!

    Everybody know context is irrelevant. What happened at 1:19PM for each president!?! That will tell you all you need to know!

    ?? It's a current poll.

    You guys will stop at nothing to spew your excuses.

    Bottom line is that Obama has been a miserable failure of a president, and his approval ratings agree with me.

    Approval ratings for Obama are probably even lower in texas yet our state is thriving. These polls are just opinions and are not based on facts. Sure the numbers may be factual but they are not a true indication of performance

    Here are some facts:

    When Obama took office unemployment was at 7.8% today it is 7%.

    When Obama took office Dow Jones was 8,279.63. Today it close to double that.

    it wouldn't be complete if the liberals also didn't bash Fox, the Koch brothers, Christians, and W. Need the full gameplan execution, B-Bob.

    You think the shape of an approval rating for a president will be high at the beginning and just slope down over the remainder of his tenure? It doesn't really work like that.

    I'll grant there's probably a honeymoon period in the beginning. But, for the most part, it ebbs and flows on the news. The only thing magical about a 5-year mark is that 8-year presidents have more time in which bad news can sink their scores (and good news to augment it). To see where each president is at the 5-year mark as a point in time though suggests a pretty naive understanding that the approval rating will follow some predictable downward curve over time.

    It wouldn't be complete if conservatives didn't claim to have a monopoly on Christianity.

    It's the exact same point in each of their tenures that's being compared. And Obama loses.

    Just like you in this argument.

    I know you're just trolling, but you do see how thin and dumb this argument is, right? You won't admit it here, of course, but down in your soul, you know. Right? Comparing a random point in the tenure of one president to random points in the tenures of other recent presidents is worse than useless.
