Obama: The Weakest President In The History Of The U.S.

I respond because I enjoy doing it. I like debating and discussing.

I don't respond to ALL negative posts about me. I just enjoy posting on this board.

No one has to do anything they don't want to. But it seems like you really want to talk to me so go ahead, tell me how you really feel.

 

Obama Job Approval Tumbles in Wake of White House Scandals

President Barack Obama’s job approval rating has taken a huge hit in the wake of the scandals surrounding the White House, a new poll has found.

Fewer than half the registered voters surveyed now believe Obama is “honest and trustworthy,” according to the poll conducted by Quinnipiac University. That figure had stood at 58 percent the last time the question was asked in September 2011. Now it is at 49 percent.

And it is the scandal involving the Internal Revenue Service that is hitting Obama hardest, the survey found. The voters, who were surveyed between Wednesday last week and Tuesday of this week, believe that controversy is more worrying than those surrounding the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, or the seizure of phone records from journalists.

According to the Connecticut university’s survey, more people now view the president negatively than positively. Slightly under half — 49 percent — say they have a negative view of Obama, while 45 percent have a positive view.

Just one month ago, before news of the IRS controversy broke, the president’s job approval rating was more positive than negative, at 48 to 45 percent.

When it comes to the individual controversies swirling around the Obama administration, 44 percent of voters see the IRS prying into conservative groups as the most important, while 24 percent say they are most concerned about the administration’s handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, and 15 percent say the records seizure at news organizations is most important.

Per say? People chose to believe what they will. This is a poll. You and I both know that most are uninformed. For the past five years the MSM hasn't gone after Obama much at all especially over the things you named off. But now with the DOJ scandal, the MSM is willing to cover anything because they are mad.

It's kind of like when you go out to eat. The cooks are the administration but the waiters are the press. Don't make a waiter angry they will mess you up.

Bill Clinton on Obama: ‘He’s incompetent. He’s an amateur!’


Tell us something we don’t know, Slick.

President Obama made a secret deal to support Hillary Clinton when she runs for president in 2016, campaign sources say, payback for the support her husband gave him in 2012.

Bill Clinton’s animosity toward Obama is legendary. A year before the last election, he was urging Hillary to challenge the sitting president for the nomination — a move she rejected.

According to two people who attended that meeting in Chappaqua, Bill Clinton then went on a rant against Obama.

“I’ve heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than I’ve heard from Obama,” my sources quoted Clinton as saying. “I have no relationship with the president — none whatsoever. Obama doesn’t know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. He’s incompetent. He’s an amateur!”

Speaking of Obama’s amateurish incompetence, an endorsement from the scandal-plagued failed president may not be worth much come 2016. If we ever get the truth about what happened on the night of September 11, 2012, the two of them could probably blackmail each other. Meanwhile, it’s evident Bill Clinton and Obama can’t stand each other, but for appearance’s sake they kissed and made up, aided and abetted by one of Obama’s media stooges.

But after his re-election, Obama began to have second thoughts. He would prefer to stay neutral in the next election, as is traditional of outgoing presidents.

Bill Clinton went ballistic and threatened retaliation. Obama backed down. He called his favorite journalist, Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes,” and offered an unprecedented “farewell interview” with departing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The result was a slobbering televised love-in — and an embarrassment to all concerned.

Except Steve Kroft, who still probably has a thrill running up his leg.

 

Barack Obama's Record-Setting Presidency

http://www.ijreview.com/2013/06/56580-barack-obamas-record-setting-presidency//

1. No Budget
President Obama is the only president not to pass a budget in a given fiscal year. The Democrat-controlled Congress passed one in 2009, holding spending levels at trillion dollar deficits.

2. Poverty Rate
"The U.S. Census Bureau puts the number of Americans in poverty at levels not seen since the mid-1960s when [LBJ] launched the federal government’s so-called War on Poverty. As President Barack Obama began his second term in January, nearly 50 million Americans — one in six — were living below the income line that defines poverty." [Daily Mail]



3. Food Stamps
The number of households receiving food stamps in January 2013 was 23,087,886. There are 115,310,000 households, meaning that one 1 out of every 5 households now receive food stamps. It also means more Americans are receiving food stamps than make up the population of Spain.



4. Labor Force Participation
The percentage of the workforce that has a job is at the lowest since the Jimmy Carter administration at 63.4%. In addition, part-time employment has skyrocketed under this president, partly due to Obamacare healthcare coverage requirements.



5. Disability Recipients
"The total number of people in the United States now receiving federal disability benefits hit a record 10,978,040... according to data from the Social Security Administration. The 10,978,040 disability beneficiaries in the U.S. now exceed the population of all but seven states. For example, there are more Americans collecting disability today than there are people living in Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey or Virginia." [CNS News]



6. Black Unemployment
The black unemployment rate of nearly 15% is the highest since the mid-1980s. The jobless numbers are at a record-high since the Reagan years, when there was a sharp drop in black unemployment. [Examiner]



7. Weeks Above 8% Unemployment
Barack Obama presided over the longest stretch with unemployment above 8% at 43 weeks. This is a record since 1948. And as one can see from the graph, the Reagan recovery led to increasing labor force participation, while the Obama "recovery" led to decreasing labor force participation.



8. War Powers
Nobel Peace Prize winning president Barack Obama is the only president to violate the 1973 War Powers Act with his commitment of U.S. troops to a war in Libya. The White House cited a vague 'international consensus' as the authority, although the Constitution gives Congress sole war-making powers.

9. National Debt & Deficits
The U.S. national debt is approaching $17 trillion, which is a record in terms of debt-to-GDP unseen since the World War II aftermath. The president added more to the debt in one term than all previous presidents combined, which will remain a burden for generations to come.
