Americans Satisfaction With Country’s Direction Worst Since Jimmy Carter…
Via US News:
It’s February, nine months before a presidential election, and only 22 percent of Americans say they are satisfied with the way things are going. Voters haven’t been this unhappy with the country since George H.W. Bush’s presidency, when only 21 percent of Americans reported being happy with the country’s direction. And before that, the lowest approval rating was 19 percent during Jimmy Carter’s first term.
What do the two presidencies have in common? Neither of them won re-election. And, if the trends holds true, Obama looks to be in an equally precarious situation.
The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research released its 2012 campaign outlook, and it’s clear Obama’s sitting in the same position George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter were in during the February before their election losses—voters don’t feel good about the country.

The resemblance in uncanny; big ears and shifty eyes. Did Jimmah visit the slave’s quarters at night?
Gotta love the concealed hand gun law!
Retired Marine and former Pan Am/Delta Pilot John Lovell is Top Gun at Subway Sandwich Shop
Plantation, Florida:
Last week police were called to investigate an attempted armed robbery: The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, Florida, Subway shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former helicopter pilot for two presidents. He doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, and he works out every day. Mr. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night.
According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at1949 N. Pine Rd. just after 11 p.m. There was a lone diner, Mr. Lovell, who was finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Mr. Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well. They got his money, but then Mr. Lovell pulled his handgun and opened fire. He shot one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head.
When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop, K-9 Units found the other in the bushes of a nearby business. They also found cash strewn around the front of the sandwich shop according to Detective Robert Rettig of the Plantation Police Department.
Both men were taken to the Broward General Medical Center , where one, Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale died. The other, 21-year-old Frederick Gadson of Fort Lauderdale is in critical but stable condition.
Mr. Lovell was a pilot in the Marine Corps, flying former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He later worked as a pilot for Pan Am and Delta Airlines.
He is not expected to be charged authorities said. ”He was in fear for his life,” Detective Rettig said, “These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70′s have military backgrounds and aren’t intimidated by idiots.”
Something tells me this old Marine wasn’t ‘in fear for his life’, even though his life was definitely at risk. The only thing he could be charged with is participating in an unfair fight. One 71- year young Marine against two punks. Two head shots and one center body mass shot.
Outstanding shooting! That’ll teach them not to get between a Marine and his meal.
Florida law allows eligible citizens to carry a concealed weapon. Don’t you just love a story with a happy ending?
Old people don’t fight, they just shoot you.
If the Dems had anyone but Obama in office, there would be a challenger and a Convention fight.
Instead, with these satistics, and all the polls that show Obama being landslided, why do they continue to back him?
Because they don’t want to be called racist… even though they know he will be defeated.

I think Obama is magical…in fact he can make just about anything disappear, like businesses, jobs and tax payer money to name a few.
22%? That leaves a lot of racists in the country.
Thanks for the topic related post, friday.
Carter and b.o. are related—-really, except b.o.’s lips are bluer, like his party.
To bad they didn’t burn a few Abba-Dabba in that fire.
How higher dose the peanut eater kid rate then dose obama?
Barry needs to go on a canoe trip and defend himself against an attack rabbit.
@friday,
What a heart warming story. I love instant justice happy endings.
Outstanding, sir. Thank you for your continued service to our country. Someone get that man a five-dollar-footlong.
That photograph of Obama….
Does it give anyone else the creeps at a very primitive level – an instinctual revulsion?
I can just hear my mother saying “Stay far away from him. He’s no good.”
Did the pollsters call Amy Catah?
@Dapandico
No, they didn’t call Amy. She was too busy; sniffing luggage at the airport.
@Sentinel – Damn. I miss Jimmah telling us about Amy.
Many including myself have said repeatedly, that Barry will make Jimmy’s Presidency look Stellar.
Carter was terrible, when he left office it was a great feeling.
obama is horrendous, when he leaves office it will be like V-E / V-J Day combine…”Pure adrenalin”.
Oops
Thus the reason he strives to do as much damage as possible before November. And why his family strives to stock up on as much vacation time as possible before D-day as well.
And their both liberal demacrats to
And the sad thing is thousands of Idiots who only watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC will once again vote for Obama in the 2012 Elections. If he doesn’t win the Popular Vote, George Soros will have made sure that he will win the Electoral College Votes, then Ron Paul will run as a 3rd party candidate and suck away the votes from the Republican Party like Ross Perot did. We will be stuck with Obama for another 4 years. He will spend the next 4 years running the country via Executive Fiat (Congress isn’t stopping him now, and they won’t stop him then), and he will pull a Hugo Chavez and make himself Dictator for Life.

That would be hundreds upon hundreds of thousands if not millions.
Also, there are congressional races that need deciding too. So your assumptions in that regard are bogus…for now. I don’t think things are quite as grim and resolute as you paint them…just yet.
another…..dead man walkin.
Gee, I thought George W. Bush was the Worst President Ever? How can this be?
