Obama’s Job Approval Drops Below Jimmy Carter’s…

Love it.

(US News) — President Obama’s slow ride down Gallup’s daily presidential job approval index has finally passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern political history.

Since March, Obama’s job approval rating has hovered above Carter’s, considered among the 20th century’s worst presidents, but today Obama’s punctured Carter’s dismal job approval line. On their comparison chart, Gallup put Obama’s job approval rating at 43 percent compared to Carter’s 51 percent.

Back in 1979, Carter was far below Obama until the Iran hostage crisis, eerily being duplicated in Tehran today with Iranian protesters storming the British embassy. The early days of the crisis helped Carter’s ratings, though his failure to win the release of captured Americans, coupled with a bad economy, led to his defeat by Ronald Reagan in 1980.

    The only reason possible is because those racist Tea Partiers have tainted the water.

    doesn’t matter. voter fraud will take care of the 2nd term.

    Just imagine how low his approval rating would be if the media weren’t hiding his racist background (his church), his many mistakes and gaffes, and his Marxist/socialist leanings.

    According to urbandictionary.com rooting: in America it means cheering, in Australia it means fucking.

    By now, there’s got to some Democrats who are questioning the idea of keeping him as candidate.

    The problem is obama is a communist marxist thug.. Carter’s just a moron.

    I beg to differ. I think Carter has always been a closet Marxist as well, or at least socialist. He was just better at hiding it while in office.

    @Texmom

    I like the way you think. It’d probably be obvious to all if Carter had the demeanor of say, the Hildabeast or Husseinobama.

  9. Rufus says:

    The reason he is still going to be the Democrat candidate is becasue he is a black man.
    The Dems know he is a loser, but can’t replace him because of their obsession with race.

    The difference was that Carter only turned into an America hater after he was tossed out in 1980 for incompetence (he never got over his defeat by Reagan) while Obama came into office as an anti-American.

    My grandfather told me all the crap Carter put us through, (I was born in 75), everything from damn near hyper inflation, Iran, to contrived gas lines. He told me about all this in ’00 or ’01 and I couldn’t imagine living in times like that.

    Erry’thing old is new again.
    Tho, I didn’t really NEED the living history, I believed my papaw.

    Breaking News:

    The oBama Administration is fighting back against the oBama/Carter comparison.

    In their defense, they point out Jimmy Carter only lost Iran to the Islamonazis.

    Presidential Press Secretary Jay Carney points out that by the time oBama is done, it will be the whole Middle East.

    Try and top that Republicans!

    The truth matters . Obama hates everything America stands for . He will settle for nothing less than America’s complete transformation to socialism . Don’t expect brain washed lizard tongues to start thinking for themselves . Ain’t gonna happen ! . A welfare check in the mailbox is powerful stuff .

    Obama’s only acomplishment is to make Jimmy Carter look great compared to him. And as someone who lived through Carter (I was in the USAF for most of his term), I can tell you that as bad as he was, Obama is even worst. A lot worst. And don’t see a Ronald Reagan on the horizon …

    Marco Rubio is the next Reagan. He just needs to be Governor of Florida first.

    Watch out! This pile of shit has been burning with a deep rage all of his life because his parents abandoned him when he was a kid. When it finally sinks into that thick narcissistic head of his that he has now been abandoned again this time by this country, (it really isn’t his country) his rage will know no bounds and he will ursurp and abuse the power of the presidency ( like he hasn’t already) to wreak as much havoc and destruction on the country before he is forcibly removed from the half White House.

    Watch Out!

    @ hoodaticus…

    Marco Rubio is not eligible to be President.
    His parent were not US Citizens at the time of his birth.
    Thus, he is not a Natural Born Citizen.

    See the US Constitution for more info.
    Article 2, Section 1, clause 5.

    Once again, forward these Gallup polls to everyone you know.

    Make it clear that Obamee’s numbers are well under 50%, if not falling under 40%.

    THERE IS NO CONCEIVABLE WAY OBAMEE CAN WIN THE ELECTION WITHOUT STEALING IT.

    Every candidate for the GOP nomination needs to be making that point daily, along with Rush, Drudge, all talk radio, Fox News, you name it.

    “How can he possibly win with these numbers?” needs to be asked daily if not hourly. Answer is that he can’t. The groundwork for stealing the 2012 election is already being laid. We must prepare NOW to defend against it. Make it clear that ANY Obamee “victory” is a theft of YOUR VOTE.

    And be prepared to RESIST.

    Reading these comments prove my point! Racism has won! Racism is to the point where they don’t even hide it anymore! All these commentators are racist, bigoted black-hating scum that would make the KKK proud! Considering that you’re all racist pigs and you want black people neutered like KKK lover Texmom, it is not surprising in the slightest that you think he’s “truly a miserable piece of crap President.”  

    No doubt, you thought he was a “piece of crap” before he even started. 

    Only racists and bigots find this to be good news! They wanted the black man to fail and they got it by successfully blaming EVERYTHING on him! Funny that not a single racist righty, espeically the head racist, Rush can name one good thing coming out of these besides America becoming more racist and more stupid! And managed to erase George W. Bush from history! America is NOW racist again! Thanks Cancervatives!

    In reference to Questionman’s statement. Keep believing that conservatives
    are racists if you must. The truth is that O’s policies are what is bringing him
    to his knees, not his race. Most conservatives do not look at skin color for
    leadership. There is no leadership with Obama, he is a dictator and loves
    Islamists. Hopefully none of us will experience the horror of being a third
    world nation which is where we are headed under Obama.

    @Bucky

    Questionman is curiously uncurious, and therefore never reads a thing beyond Democrat talking points. He has also arranged to be blind to anything which might contradict his fanatacism.
