Let’s face it, folks — Barack Obama was never the “messiah” he was portrayed to be in 2008. He never pooped cinnamon buns and farted “new car smell.”
However, the fact remains: no other President in history has faced such a relentless barrage of blind attacks and vitriol from the opposition like President Obama has.
Call it “Obama Derangement Syndrome” or “Baracknaphobia,” but Obama never stood a chance from day one. Sen. Mitch McConnell made the Republicans’ mission very clear when he said that their number one priority was to make sure Obama was “one term President.”
Continuously facing a party full of petulant man-children (and now one bereft of a petulant man-child leader), President Obama has finally discovered that he just doesn’t care what they think of him. There are no more elections to try to win, so, predictably, Obama is finally taking care of business. He’s making mince meat out of his Republican bete noires and governing by executive action — despite (or in spite of) a non-functional congress — scoring a series of victories that include the nuclear deal with Iran.
It appears that his ongoing winning streak is garnering approval from more Americans. In fact the latest Gallup polls says that Obama’s approval rating on the economy is at its highest point in years.
Even though the President’s approval rating has gradually declined in the past, particularly in the middle of 2014, a rebounding economy has Americans trusting the president more than ever before. According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, approval of Obama’s work on the economy is 14 percentage points higher than his career low, 35 percent in October 2011.
To illustrate it further, his approval rating is 16 points higher than George W. Bush’s at this point in his presidency. The 2016 insane clown posse would love for you to believe that President Obama has been an unmitigated disaster on the economy — which keeps morons voting against their own economic self interests — but the fact remains the unemployment rate went from 10.0 percent when Obama took office to 5.1 percent now.
But Republican “Baracknaphobia” is so severe that President Obama could find a cure for cancer, and these duplicitous d-bags would say that curing cancer is bad for small business and hurts the troops.

You libtards will believe anything. They piss in your face and tell you it’s raining. You believe them.
So we should believe some idiot named “Fred” instead????? I think I’ll stick with the article and what I see in the news and read online. People like you live in a bizarre reality. Get help.
I didn’t ask you to believe anything. I ask you to question what you are being told here and elsewhere. Think for yourself for a change.
Fred, you conservaturds (to use your vernacular), will believe anything you hear that reinforces your fear, terror, and hatred of all things “different”.
When I read the same information that is in this article in other legitimate, unbiased sources, and in my daily newspaper, and nothing contradicts the information here, then i do believe that I can rely, for the most part, on that information.
Darlin, you have got to get out of that bubble you have been inhabiting for the past 7 years…you might actually find out that things are not quite as “bad” as you seem to think they are. (By the way, who is “they”?)
When the story starts with *A poll of California voters* makes one think the numbers are skewed.
Albert: What’s the crap about California?
If you go to the Langer description of the poll — it’s a national poll. 1000+ subjects, by telephone. With a political split that approximates the nationwide electoral registration split.
What’s your point? What sort of data, or info, or words, are you quoting?
Even though this article tries to paint a rosy picture of the president’s approval rating, it fails to mention what that rating actually is. If you go to the poll itself you find that 55% of the country disapproves of the job Obama is doing. That translates to a whole bunch of Democrats and independents defecting over to disapproval side since the last election.
.In CALIFORNIA his rating is up to 60%, or at least that’s how it’s being reported on the rest of the internet. I wonder where it stands in the rest of the country?
Just what is it that you think I’m afraid of? Hint: Stupid people like you who vote.
Lets see. Immigrants, Muslims, blacks, gays, Chinese, poor people, disabled people. You are afraid of the way the economy is getting better under a black president. You cant stand the fact that is being proven that your trickle down economics does not work and was a scam all along. I could go on, but you wont do research because you ARE AFRAID I MIGHT BE RIGHT. Asswipe.
Nope, not afraid of any of those things. And, don’t worry, I’m certainly not afraid that you might be right. I doubt that happens very often.
Troll.
I have carefully considered a variety of sources for my newsfor more than 60 years and that’s why I am a lifelong Democrat. Throughout the years I have observed the big corporation greed, disgust for poor people, the homeless, voting against veterans care and destruction of higher education through sky high price gouging. Also, illegal and unconstitutional manipulation and restriction of voters’ rights and gerrymandering to steal some lections even when Democrats get far more votes. That is anti-American, dishonest and unconstitutional. We will end this extreme minority’s crooked politics through the courts, but meanwhile we’ll vote a bunch of the scumbags out and install another Democrat In 2016.
And exactly what have the Democrats done for you in the last 60 years?
Let’s start with LBJ, a one-n-done failure. The Great Society is his claim to fame. How’s that working out? Or, do you even know what it was supposed to do?
We had Carter… He was a failure, and his economic policies were a disaster. From his presidency I most remember inflation and long gas lines. What else did he do? Not much. Another one-n-done president.
The next Dem was Bill Clinton. I’m not going to say anything bad about bill because he really did a pretty good job. I actually voted for him (twice). But, remember, Hillary is not Bill.
Now we have Obama. When all the dirt is uncovered he may well go down as the worst president ever. If his mission was to divide and destroy this country, he’s done a great job. If that was not his mission, then he has to go down as a totally inept buffoon.
The only time in the last 50 years that the economy has been on the plus side is when democrats held the presidency and congress. That is a researchable fact that you wont research. Because that would be proof, and you don’t like proof. And it is the republicans, with their hate and prejudice that is dividing the nation. You can spout all the hatred you want, you just prove my point.
I seem to remember the economy being pretty good under Reagan.
For a short while. Then he had to reverse his policies and created the largest tax hike ever to repair the damage. Look it up, it is EASILY researchable. Or….just keep lying.
You might get people to buy into your vitriol if you had just a tiny bit of objectivity. I don’t have to be fed anything to like President Obama. I remember where the US was when he won in 2008 and I can see where it is now. I haven’t had to deploy since 2009, Bin Laden is dead, a lot of the Taliban and Al Qaeda are dead, jobs are being consistently added every month instead of being lost, people have health insurance who didn’t have it before, women have the means to protest pay inequality, etc. etc. I could go on and on touting the accomplishments of the so-called worst President ever and it would be proven facts that I have seen, see, and can research myself. You only have your alternate reality, fairytale fantasies, Fox News, outright lies, and racism to draw from. So sad. And there is no way you went from the prosperity of voting for Bill Clinton twice, surviving the Bush years, and “hocus pocus” now a die-hard Republican/Conservative. That makes no sense whatsoever. Respond.
Proven facts… That’s a laugh. You are just regurgitating the slop that the Democrat party has been feeding you.
You’re funny, alternate reality guy. I’m laughing out loud at you right now.
Typical libtard.
And you’re a typical conservative idiot. Still laughing at you though.
“I don’t like this article… it doesn’t appeal to my personal prejudice so it must not be true… unlike fox news who always appeals to my prejudice which means it must be true”
Sorry dude, I really don’t even like Obama that much. But these numbers are true. Live in reality, and I’m sorry that reality doesn’t appeal to your prejudice. We can’t win all the time.
Like I said… You libtards are incapable of filtering the BS they feed you. And, yes, this article is just another rather stupid Dem hit piece.
Start your point with “libtard” and you fall right into the manchild category discussed above….Good job!
and Repubs can throw piss in your face and you think it’s beer. Good thing ignorance isn’t catching
On one hand what you say makes a ton of sense…. On the other hand, if you see the numbers as true (and they are), What is it about him you don’t like?
Quitcher crying!
Crying? Me? No, I leave the whining and crying to you Dems. It’s what you do best.
Yet you’re still whining.
I guess Bernie Sanders is wrong then.
This article is the funniest thing this so called comedian has ever written lol.
I think it’s important to note that the headline is misleading…In CALIFORNIA his rating is up to 60%, or at least that’s how it’s being reported on the rest of the internet. I wonder where it stands in the rest of the country?
The poll was done in California, but it was a nationwide poll. And at least 5 other polls I have seen this week come out about the same.
Obama has a higher approval rating, among who? The DNC? More proof that liberalism is a mental disease! The word ‘Obama’ will be, if it is remembered at al, a swear word!
$18.4 Trillion and counting, Vlad Putin is taking over the Middle-East, 4 dead in Benghazi, Still waiting for someone to be held accountable in the IRS targeting conservative non-profit applicants & Eric Holder’s Justice Dept. Gun Running Operation (Fast & Furious), Still waiting for the Veteran’s Admin to get sorted out….
But ya… he’s a (um) good (snicker) president (hahaha)
What’s not to love??
P.S. The news report I heard said this is only in California… and that “news” article above is written by a comedian.
What an idiot! Obama is worshiped by every media outlet, save one, & he’s still bombing in the polls. And clueless libs whine & cry about how mean republicans are to their messiah. Oh, wah.
