His approval rating is 45%, while his disapproval rating is 48%!!!! That's horrible, he's in Sarah Palin territory now. Republicans must be giddy looking at these numbers, and 2012 is not that far behind......

If you were Obama's advisor, what would you suggest he do to bring his numbers back up? He is getting no bump from healthcare, like many thought he would.

And if you hate or dislike Obama, what is the thing that ticks you off most about him?

I like him personally, but I think he's taking WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He's slowly starting to remind me of George W Bush......

    Obama is a smart man. He knows what hes doing. Some of the best plans take time and strategy, watch. By the end of the year everything he said he would do will come to fruition.

    Doesn't mean anything.

    You do the right thing for the sake of doing right and history will vindicate you.

    Jesus, MLK, Joan of Arc, all had low approval ratings

    Beside polls have been shown to be completely out of pocket and easily manipulated to suit agendas.

    WTF is a poll??

    Half these krackers hate the man because he has a high concentration of melanin and the rest hate him because he has a African American wife.

    I love it, even tho' I dont consider him a Black man its hilarious to hear kraker rednecks throwing hissy-fit's because a nigra painted the whitehouse Black.

    Obama didnt grow up in a segregated city in a low income neighborhood that's economically segregated by race.

    Whats that have to do with what I said? He still aint blamin the white man for all his troubles he brought on himself, and he sure as hell moved onto bigger and better things no matter what he came from. This ? born and raised a president or the eqiuvalent? No so he moved on to bigger things. Still an african american so whats the point.... cause he grew up okay finacially he aint black, hes a ? or house ? then i guess?

    I agree, he's doing what he said he was going to do.....it seems people in America are impatient as ? , they want him to create jobs from magic fairy dust, which is ridiculous. Besides, I always thought Americans are an
    independent bunch, yet they want the GOVT to do more for them lol.....while I am supportive of him overall, he better keep his promises as far as Iraq and Afghanistan. Cuz if he doesn't, I'm honestly not sure if I'll be able to vote for him again. Unless Sarah Palin or the current racist governor of Virginia runs....Obama could commit genocide on the entire Tea Party and I'd still vote for him over those two clowns.

    Too risky to do, for now....many independents actually support the Tea Party, so to attack them outright might backfire in the long run. If anything, it would only energize the Tea Party. Obama and Biden should wait until the Tea Party have an official leader, than attack him or her.....attacking the movement will do no good (for now).

    Lol I dont think too many people would give a ? if he commited genocide on the tea party, they are the only ones who really like themselves. As far as the america independent thing, we are all able to independently do our own things to a point. Right now people arent getting grants and loans as easily as they used to, houses arent selling, cars arent selling, alot of plants are being shut down. When people cant open businesses, so many have no work, and no one is really hiring they have no where else to turn. When you got no where to go nothin left to do but turn to the government.

    Im votin for Obama no matter what re-election time, what he's done so far is better than anything Bush done the entire time. I think hes honestly a lock to get re-elected, if Palin runs aint no way in hell shes gettin elected. And these tea baggers cant seem to find anyone with enough of a brain to fool enough of the public into voting for them.

    I wouldn't give a ? if he committed genocide on the Republican Party either lol......nah just kidding, there are some good Republicans out there, I think (hope)

    Either way, we can't be too confident that Obama will be a lock to win in 2012. If the economy doesn't pick up, Obama's poll numbers may enter 2008 George W. Bush territory. Considering how much steam the Republicans have now winning the Senate in Massachusetts, the governorship in Virginia, and the governorship in New Jersey, ANYTHING is possible. No one saw Scott Brown winning in the most liberal state in the USA, Massachusetts, whose to say someone like Mitt Romney or even Ron Paul might take Obama out? Keeping it real, Republicans have a lot of energy right now, and if the polls are any indication, Obama is in trouble now. He better legalize marijuana or something, anything that can promise to bring more jobs to the American people....cuz right now, people doubt he has a clear idea of how to turn around the economy.

    Mitt Romney used to run a big business.....don't sleep on how attractive that background may be to someone who has been out of work for years, plus, we all know Americans are suckers for white guys in an expensive suit. 2012 will not be an easy race......it will be very challenging.

    Never said any of that, I just said that he didnt grow up broke. Therefore he didnt grow up talking about racial economic disparities. Your tone suggests you have accepted the Republican thought process.

    depends on what you are talking about. There are black males who are still getting hired less than white males even after aquiring 4 year college degrees in this day and age, and no one is gonna tell me that its because they are "lazy".

    Now if you are talking about some ? that opens fire into a crowd and kills a kid then yeah, accept responsibility.

    This one is all based on 90s statistics, is their people who dont get jobs because they are black yes I wont argue that, but all this white man is evil ? is stupid, a group of people dont count as the entire race. There is also whites, mexicans, etc.. who dont get jobs because of how they look. The education looks worse for blacks becuase of the financial situations, a good majority of blacks are in poverty, some of its our own fault though, but we do have a large group their, compared to how small our race is as a whole compared to yours are stats on that is gonne explode. The poor white man gets the same education as the same black kid in the same financial bracket.
