How Obama Compares - Historic Presidential Approval Ratings

[Redfish]

Fascinating comparison.

What was interesting to note is that both Bush's have the greatest range swings, 60 and 64 percent. Carter comes next with a mere 47 and Nixon with 44. At this stage Obama has the smallest range swing of just 23 percent.

Yeah...no drama, Obama. Steady, even keel.

Yup!

In the long run that is going to help his standings historically.His accomplishments with healthcare are significant and his ability to lead in spite of obstruction will survive the test of time IMO.

you and wytch need to get a room. only if you are a woman since she doesn't do men.

obama will go down in history as the worst president ever. media manipulation of approval ratings means nothing.
his signature piece of legislation, ACA, is the worst piece of legislation in our history, a complete disaster that is destroying the best medical system in the world.

but continue worshiping the kenyan messiah, maybe he will send you some free cheese.

Nothing in your posting, not a single word, is even remotely cogent to the data in the OP. Not even close. Sure you are welcome to your opinion, which you make sure that the whole world hears all the time, but your opinion is not based in fact or approval ratings, to be sure.

ACA

passed by dems only in the middle of the night on Christmas eve
no floor discussion allowed in either house
passed by reconciliation in the senate, first time ever for such legislation
no amendments were allowed to be presented or voted on'
written by dem staffers in a sealed room
not a single person had read it before it became law

if you think that our govt should operate like that, then you would be very happy living in north korea.

Clinton's high approval ratings came after he was acquitted and towards the end of presidency.

And approval ratings go up for all of them when they leave office...even Nixon.

Nixon's ratings went up because people realized that he cared more about the country than his personal legacy. He did the honorable thing, unlike clinton.

Nixon, honorable?

You meant to write, Nixon - corrupt crook.

Nixon lied aboout his party breaking into an office of the other party, BFD. he did not lie under oath

clinton lied under oath about a sexual encounter with a young employee in the oval office.

corrupt? crook? yes, both of them.

Nixon covered up a crime

Clinton got a blowjob

Reagan also covered up his crime and lied about it, under oath.

Iran contra? exactly what was his "crime"?

But if we are going back in history would you like to talk about the bay of pigs? How about viet nam?

all presidents screw up. get over the partisan bullshit for just once.

funny how all the lefties got the email to create new avatars with GOP candidates in clown garb.

Your attempt to derail the thread into an anti-gay rant didn't work so now you're trying this ploy?

Transparent and lame.

I started a new thread on it, care to tell us why all of you libs did the same thing?

Your blind hatred of Obama is not evidence that the ACA is actually improving the health and lives of hardworking Americans. Furthermore it is not "destroying" anything at all.

You are an idiot, just saying.

"all presidents screw up. get over the partisan bullshit for just once."

Except if its Obama, right?

In the case of Obama, he doesn't have to screw up because the RW traitors will lie about him anyway.

Nixon, Reagan, the Bushes - all were far beyond merely corrupt and, in their efforts to benefit the 1%, all of them screwed over the country.

The "liberal media" loves to seize on stories of a falling Obama approval rating (and completely ignore it when his approval goes up) but with only two years left in his 2nd term, President Obama is on his way to have one of the highest lows...3rd behind Kennedy and Eisenhower.

Obama get the most favorable media coverage of any president in American history, plus the "first black president" thing. People are afraid to criticize at risk of being labeled a racist by the lame stream media. His highs are lower than any other president on the list, but as far as the low goes? Obama is always going to have his core brainwashed leftist support

There are already several threads on the clown avis and you RWs still don't get it. Read those and see if you can figure it out.

Ironic coming from someone who does nothing but post partisan BS!

no its not. premiums are up, deductibles are up, doctors are leaving medicine, hospitals are closing, drug prices are up.

sure, if you are getting it free, you think its great, but those who are paying think it sucks.

Hospitals are closing in red states that refused to sign up for the ACA. They only have their rabid Republican governors and legislatures to blame for that.

As far as price increases go that is not true across the board. My own healthcare premiums didn't rise at all and that was true for many others too. The increases that have occurred are minor when compared to how they were raping the economy prior to the ACA.

Your hatred of Obama doesn't translate into actual facts.

So you admit your health care has gone up? You will accept it because you can't get Obama's pecker out of your mouth. Got it.

Oh my!

Nope.

The Fox entertainment/phony news network lies about him every single day. So do Rush, Breitbart, Drudge, Beck, Jones and the rest of the RW hacks.

"New things are better than old things. I want all new things."

- "Brave New World"

Correct me if I"m wrong, but over the course of every President's term(s) in office, towards the end everyone's over the guy and looking fowards to the new guy.

Clinton's high approval ratings came after he was acquitted and towards the end of presidency.

Nixon would've loved to get away with what Obama has.

 

[Derideo_Te]

So you admit your health care has gone up?

I said that it hadn't. Your lack of reading comprehension is your problem, not mine.

The mainstream media loves Obama they are the ones who should have been investigating all the scandals like the IRS scandal, certainly not the worst attorney general in American history Eric Holder, but they all but ignored them

Obamacare was passed in March after months of debate
