Barack Obama May Be Having The Best Year Of Any Recent President

[birddog]

Bush 43 was not a failure. He did some things I did not like, but some helped him get re-elected and the end justified the means.

Bush was a real CIC, but I didn't approve of large numbers of ground troops in Iraq.

Part D and No Child Left Behind helped him get re-elected.

To imply that Bush was no better than Obama is just plain silly!

Bush was arguably worse than Obama. He was a lying, war-mongering simpleton who piled on the debt, expanded federal bureaucracies, bailed out Wall Street, signed the treasonous patriot act, gave an executive order that allowed the NSA to spy on Americans, started a disastrous war based on lies, and allowed 3,000 American civilians to die in the worst terrorist attack in American history. He was an awful, miserable failure, and his administration was full of war criminals.

In the middle of July 2007, George W. Bush’s Gallup approval rating was 31 percent, with 63 percent disapproving. As of mid-July 2015, President Barack Obama’s approval and disapproval in the same poll are both 47 percent.


I did the math for you, Tea Partiers: Obama’s margin is about 32 percent better.


What’s even more remarkable is that a recent Suffolk University/USA Today poll showed that the president, after more than six bruising years in office, is more popular than any candidate for president. His approval and disapproval in that poll is 44 percent, and the only candidates whose approval is slightly higher than his disapproval — Scott Walker, Ben Carson and Bernie Sanders — are still completely unknown to 1 out of 5 Americans.


Approval ratings don’t signify success, of course.


But what they do show is that the Republican perception of Obama as a failure somewhere on the spectrum between George W. Bush and the Hindenburg towing the Titanic is unique to them. And despite their best efforts to destroy his presidency, it’s thriving because the very things they see as failures, much of the public perceives as successes.


In an era of remarkable “negative partisanship,” the current occupant of the White House is seeing hints of Reagan-like rise in his approval rating, while W. saw a Nixon-like crumble in his for a pretty simple reason: Obama has seen a long string of policy successes that may be unrivaled by any recent president.


“Obama may be singular as a president, not only because of his striking background,” Kenneth Adelman, Ronald Reagan’s arms control negotiator with the Soviets, told Politico Magazine. “It may turn out that unlike virtually any other president, his second term is actually better than his first.”

And besides that, Obama is riding high with many other accomplishments as well! Thanks to Politicususa for this report.

Obama’s Winning Streak Continues: Economy Adds 12.8 Million Jobs Over 64 Straight Months

"And they called him a lame duck. President Obama’s economy has added 12.8 million private sector jobs over 64 straight months of job growth, extending the longest streak on record."

"Thursday’s job announcement numbers put another feather in the cap of the President’s legacy, as he has now presided over 64 straight months of private sector job growth. Yes, that’s right. The Department of Labor announced that the economy added 223,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate dropped to 5.3 percent:"

You believe the liberal crap too much! Clinton did the most to set up 9-11 and the Iraq War. Certainly Bush did some things I didn't like, but Obama was far worse!

You really need to diversify your reading material.

Obama, like Bush before him, has been a miserable failure as a President, and will go down in history as just another handmaiden to the corporate plutocracy. His legacy will be Wall Street bailouts, stagnant wages, historically low labor force participation rates, bombing dozens of countries, assassinating an American citizen without trial, his war on whistle-blowers and journalists, mass spying on Americans, reviving the Cold War with Russia, and piling on more debt.

Nope, don't think so. The link Politicususa presented from The Department of Labor is quite convincing!

You have to understand, there are two presidents in office right now. There's the one that most everyone sees, a president who through some tough times, and some setbacks has tried to work towards what he thinks is in the best interests of the American people, he's had some WTF moments, where his policies don't jive with most Americans, but overall, he is doing a decent job.

Then there's the one that the FOX News crowd sees. a blazing demon hell bent on destroying everything everyone holds dear. A cruel and unmerciful dictator that subsists solely on the blood of newborn kittens and children's tears. A being of such unimaginable evil, he rises from his coffin (obviously made from the bones of the four Americans he personally killed in Benghazi), with the singular thought: "How can I further destroy this country today!" After some light exercise of whipping the kidnapped toddler of a US Vet, he goes downstairs to start his morning satanic ritual. Then golf.

So much win for Baracky of late. What was that about "lame duck"?

Hell, wouldn't be surprised if he succeeds in closing Gitmo!
