President and the highest approval rating while they were in office:
44 Obama 69 (January 22, 2009)
43 Bush (G.W.) 90 (September 21, 2001)
United States presidential approval rating
Republicans on this board go on endlessly about how Bush was mistreated by Democrats and Liberals so of course, it's OK if they do the same to Obama. That's their logic. They are able to hide their racism behind that lie.
Bush had a 65 point drop in approval rating because of Iraq, the economy, the tax breaks for the super rich, corporate subsidies, what Bush did to the Justice Department, unfunded "No Child Left Behind", thousands of Americans dead, tens of thousands maimed for life, the millions of jobs moved to China, Halliburton making billions in Iraq, billions in Iraq disappearing, soldiers having old and rusty equipment, soldiers being killed by substandard housing Halliburton built in Iraq, the Americans who died AFTER Katrina, carcinogenic FEMA trailers, jokes about not finding WMD's, unprotected Christians dying in Iraq, Solyndra, letting Bin Laden go, the list is endless.
Obama had nothing to do with any of that. In fact he was handed that mess and Republicans didn't even feel shame. In fact, they saw it as a success.
Obama was handed a catastrophe and Republicans say he is worse than Bush and they have hated him and have wanted him to fail even before his inauguration. But of course, it has nothing to do with race.
When Bush had a 90% approval rating, he was obviously supported by many Democrats. The majority of Democrats in fact. Republicans never supported Obama on anything.
So kindly stop comparing the way the two men have been treated. It makes Republican look like morons. Something they seem to be entirely too used to.
