"Good news - his heinous' ratings are at a 50 year low:"

Well, that's a lie.

Bush saw his poll ratings collapse too. Which means this is just another thing Obama inherited.

RCP Average 10/7 - 10/21 -- 51.7 44.0 +7.7

51.7% approval.

Devastating.

Good to see the "Polls Don't Matter" righties so quick to jump back on the bandwagon.

I may dust off the Flexible Flyer. I know it's only 10 months into it, but after 3 years and 2 months, this will be a kick ass ride.

726, tell me: are there 3 things that you think Obama is wrong about?

Just 3. Show me you can think for yourself.

Where did this come from? Fox News? Oh Gallup. Those whores.

This just shows you how lame american media is. This story has to break in the UK and maybe on Fox News.

I guess you could also read into this that more people approved of Bush than they do of Obama. Damn that hurts.

Liberals will be ignorant of this and many other facts as long as they continue to watch only "White House Approved Media"...

OUCH oh you have done it now, I can already hear the Liberal panties twisting into a knot. Especially in light of the fact they were not informed by Official outlets of our State Run Media...

Good one! That just loosened the wheels on the B.O. Bandwagon.

Obama's approval is above Ronald Reagan's at this point.

Reagan's was 48% in November 1981.

It's November? Give big ears time. He still has 8 days to drop. What did Reagan start out with 'keeps on licking'?

If this was France circa 1785, he would be on track to get the guillotine when his term expires.

I guess what Reagans started at seems to have alluded you. Seeing as the thread says "drop".

But hey Obama's approval numbers are still above Reagans....

Reagan's approval rating March 1981 (2 months after Inauguration)

November 1st, 1981

Says the guy who denies facts when they're handed to him - like the exec pay cut story I linked twice and you moved the goal posts on when I made you look like a fool. At least from your comment above one can discern you may be as self aware as a Bonobo.

73% to 48%? You shouldn't try out for "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader". :)

Mongo, Did you catch the network news last night, or were you too busy talking that information cannot penetrate your head? :

- "Executives at bailed-out U.S. companies face 90% pay cut"

"  www.cbsnews.com

Posted by Timex at 2009-10-21 07:14 PM

- "Treasury is expected within days to release the ruling by Kenneth Feinberg, the administration's special master on compensation."

www.washingtonpost.com

(reading is a must)

- Wisgod,

 Really, guy, you should read more.

- Smart talk from the guy that posted a horse shit article and got his ass kicked minutes ago.

#54 | Posted by wisgod at 2009-10-21 07:47 PM

When proven wrong, engage in a parsing exercise about 'expected to announce' and claim 'ass kicking' rather than man up and admit you were wrong. Other articles said 'will release'. Feinberg has made the ruling which is his to make, announcement or not. Goalposts moved. Mongo dumb.

Posted by Timex at 2009-10-23 04:09 PM | Reply | Flag:

Timex, you are a worm. You know damn well how long it took after your origianl post to finally admit that the announcement had NOT been released, much less approved by Obmam. But that would be just like this thread, wouldn't it, little man?

Posted by wisgod at 2009-10-23 04:15 PM | Reply | Flag:

Mongo,

The 'announcement' had nothing to do with it. You claimed 'bullshit article' before you moved the goalposts and started flapping your lips about 'expected'. Not my problem your male ego won't allow you to admit you were wrong.

Wrong? About exec pay cuts - when you jumped in and claimed 'bullshit article' about the pay cuts before you moved the goalposts? I can post the entire history of that exchange if you'd like. Mongo wouldn't like. Make Mongo look dumb as ox.

Looks to me like they "face" pay cuts... Far cry from a proof they "will" have cuts.

That reminds me of Corky saying Iran has agreed to sending their nukes to Russia. Seems like you two are of like minds...

If a headline said "U.S. to invade Iraq" or "U.S. invasion of Iraq imminent", would you parse and say "TO invade?? "Imminent?" Only trolls with the brain of an ox would. lol

It was just some stupid trolling BS from Mongo. Nothing more.

Yea...and Obama is dealing with potentially worse economic conditions in over 50 years as well.

People are saying this next election cycle we're going to see a lot of republicans get voted in.

Probably so.

And the next election cycle after that, we'll see democrats voted back in.

People will continue to blame the poor economy on politicians.

The problem is simply that capitialism isn't fool proof.

And we've been fooled.

libs continue to lie about reagan and go back to that well even more now
