Olympic gold medal taken away from Lindsey Vonn!

That can't be Pres. Obama, he's wearing a tie!

Funny picture! Maybe the caption should be "Riding arrogace full-throttle to political destruction"...

Okay, the humor is improving. The picture alone is funny. Unfortunately, the suggestion that he has declined faster than any other president is not consistent with reality. Compared to Reagan, and the Bush boys, Obama wouldn't even qualify for silver. Bush One had more than a 40 percentage point decline from March 91 to March 92.

Now, had the creator photoshopped Palin instead, it would be more appropriate for the times: "Forty-five percent of conservatives now consider her as qualified for the presidency, down sharply from 66 percent who said so last fall".

The most recent weekly approval averages by party nearly match those that Gallup has measured since mid-November -- 83% approval among Democrats, 45% among independents, and 17% among Republicans.

The fall from grace for Obama was the fastest for any President during their first same number of months in office.

Also, jmark: the subject of this blog is not Sarah Palin. She in not the President of the United States, nor is she mentioned anywhere in my post. She is not running for office. So what's the point? Guess she still scares libs like you silly!

Not true Reagan and Ford had lower aproval rating than Obama by March of their second year.

Onlyoneme: Guess I should have been clearer. The months I cite are during a president's first few months in office. Obama has stumbled like no other.

onlyone: Amy has moved the goal posts. Her blog article links to Rasmussen's "Obama Approval Index" which shows Obama's approval rating from inauguration day to present. The Fox article speaks of Obama's approval rating at the "10-and-a-half month" period. Tea baggers change the game all the time.

Deceptive? You bet.

But no problem! Just change it so that it links to the Fox article. Then you and your sistha Moe will appear as though you actually know what your talking about.

Thank me later.

Perhaps this is the poll you were looking for?

However, his public support dropped, with a sharp, nine-point decline in his approval rating from his second to his third quarter in office, marking one of the largest quarterly declines in Gallup polling history.

I like Colbert take on polls and polling.

jmark: I did not "move the goal posts." Actually, I couldn't find the original poll on Obama's rapid fall from grace when I first posted. I thought a link showing his low poll numbers in my blog would suffice.
Then, lo and behold, when I had some time, I managed to find what I was looking for later on. Nothing deceptive or misleading (like what Obama and the Dems are currently trying to do to the American people in getting socialized medicine passed!) about it.
Want to talk about moving goal posts? How about the "Slaughter Rule" coming into effect? You know, totally by-passing the U.S. Consitution in order to get legislation passed, without a vote! Hilarious! We are on our way to a dictatorship, folks. When the government does what it wants, bypassing the rules of the U.S. Consitution and the will of the people - we are on a downhill slope...much like Obama's approval rating, as well as most Dems...

Thanks onlyone, Colberts' interview with Scott Rasmusen made me do the math. (1,000 polled out of 300M people equals 0.00000333 thats 3 ten thousandth of 1 % of the population telling all the rest of us what our opinions are) and reenforced my longtime belief that poll numbers are only filler material for the media, such a tiny percent is asked a question and somehow it reflects what the broader population thinks. News company polls mean nothing since the partication is by their viewers who already have a strong opinion on a certain subject or they wouldn't take the time to call it in and are biased due to the inherant bias of their programming.

Palin only scares me when I realize some people think she has any of the qualities needed to be something important...otherwise I enjoy seeing her in a skirt. She is in my opinion a woman to be seen and not heard.

Gallop says Obama averages 57% aproval for his first year.

And this is intesting as well, just trying to be "fair and balanced".

Actually if you look at Obama's situation it isn't as hopeless as conservatives would like everyone to believe.

It would seem that both parties excel at partisanship now. What our government basically become is a tug-of-war between the Democrats and the Republicans, and they have a winner take all mentality. Don’t forget the republicans used reconciliation themselves to get legislation passed.

I just think everyone in the Olympics should get a medal. They all tried really hard and we would hate to hurt anyone's self esteem.

Otherwise, we should give slower athletes advantages just to make things "fair". After all, Americans have so much more $ than the poor countries. It's just not fair dammit.

PY - How "liberal" of you, sure you are feeling ok? You are out of character.

Didn't he already get a medal?

"Thanks to my conservative sister, Moe, for providing me with this [write-up] and pic via an e-mail."

"I couldn't find the original poll on Obama's rapid fall from grace when I first posted."

Right, and the dog ate your homework.

Oh what a tangled web we weave ...

Nothing deceptive or misleading (like what Obama and the Dems are currently trying to do to the American people in getting socialized medicine passed!) about it.

The way I see it it is the “Dems” have finally torn a page out of the Republican play book and are running the programs they coppied.
