Smart, huh? That's how you describe folks who give Congress a 90% disapproval rating but re-elect incumbents at the same clip?

I don't think very many people like Obama personally, or the job he is doing. He's a loser. The people 'supporting' him are supporting the party and not the president himself.

Imagine the condition of the country today if Obama had been an effective leader, able to accomplish even a portion of his goals.

You a tough guy to argue with. You are too logical. He just moved up to 15-1 and down to 6th on my list.

So who's #1? It's not Danny Bonaduce, is it?

can't figure that out Dan? People have the, "I hate all the idiots in Congress, but my congressman is okay" mentality. That's why the presidents get higher approvals than congress in general. Did I really have to explain that concept?

Sure thing that is why they replaced as many Dem's as they could to remove the monkey wrench... Horrible Harry. Once the new Congress is set Obama will need his pen to approve or veto bill after bill and phone to explain his inaction when the clog in the works is gone and the bills start landing on his desk. Obama's numbers will sink like the Titanic.

OMG, that was a drink spiller.
I don't want to say because it might lead to a new jihad.

No, that's how I describe people that hold their noses and vote for the lesser of two evils.

Down to 37% in latest polls.
I'm guessin 29-35% by the time it's over with.
Btw, if the best you have is that he is better liked than Congress? It's a long way from Election night in 2008. What a swoon from the great one......laughable.....simply laughable. The legacy will be worse than Carter

You're letting projection obscure the facts. Obama has always had a very high likeability rating.

Obama’s likeability, his last and greatest political asset, appears to be vanishing. If so, then he is entering uncharted and dangerous presidential territory. For five and half years in office, Obama’s real strength has been his personal appeal to the public – despite their disagreement over his policies.

That article is way off base. Obama never had any personal appeal or likeability. He's a loser.
