President Obama's Approval Rating Back Up to 50%

Posted by on Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 2:18 PM

A new CNN/ORC poll (PDF) shows good news for President Obama: For the first time since Navy Seals killed Osama bin Laden, Barack Obama's approval ratings are at 50% approve to 48% disapprove. He also competes favorably (and above 50% every time) when placed in a head-to-head contest with each Republican candidate (Romney comes closest, at 51% to 46%). This is the rare poll that is entirely made up of positive news for the president. (The standard warnings when talking about national polling this early in the race—the party hasn't yet coalesced behind a single candidate, the VP candidate could invigorate the party and attract moderates, etc.—absolutely apply.)

The standard warnings when talking about national polling -- early, middle, late, ever -- also include a little thing we call the "Electoral College". Romney could become President with a lot less than 46% to 51%.

i wonder what percentage of the "disapprove" are disgruntled progressives? 3%?

The VP never matters. Only exception: Sarah Palin made things worse for McCain. Actually, you missed the only standard warning that does matter: the economy could falter.

The other issue no one mentions lately is that these numbers are at a point where almost all of the oxygen is being sucked up by the GOP reality show. When the O Train starts rolling, I think we'll see an even more positive shift.

Well. I've never been a big fan of Obama. I'm still not. But even I have to admit that, compared to the other four bozos who want the job, he looks pretty damned good.

So basically the unemployment rate goes down 0.5 percent and his approval rating goes up 5 percent.

Look if he gets it down to 4% maybe the whole country should vote for him.

The LAST and Final steps ~`In Removing Obama From Washington, are upon us.

The Final Chapter with { OBAMA. } ~` His Terrorist Connections AND His WorldWide Co-Conspirators, have been REELED – in, Like Fish,

on a Fishing line / Swallowing Hook, Line and Sinker.

Deep Throating the entire Pole, up to the Steel Reel. All of Obama's Corrupt Political Partners in Washington, have also been REELED

in, like an OLD TIME Reel to Reel Movie PROjECTOR.

THEIR eXposure has successfully been Framed and They are NOW `Seen {CAPTURED} UPON the Screen, eXposed and Snared in the

VERY OWN TRAPS,

that they Themselves had set for YOU- [ The Prey ] The American Citizens.

These traitors, have FALLEN Head-Long, Down into the very SAME eXact Pits, that THEY themselves HAD dug for YOU, { the Game

]\ American Citizens.

All of Obamas Corrupted Political Partners in Washington and Terrorist Connections and His Co-Conspirator WORLDWIDE, have been

Snared / CAUGHT in
the very Jaws that they had Sprung for YOU, The American Citizens.

Their Ropes and Lines of DECEPTION, TREASON and FRAUD, that They had Drawn, Planted, eXtended and INTENDED to Hang and Trip

Up YOUR Freedoms { YOU The American Patriots / Great Sons and Daughters of Liberity } These Ropes, Have ALL been Un Tied,

Unravled and Unstrung.

You MUST continue A Peaceful Resistance. You MUSt Maintain a POSITIVE, AGGRESSIVE, firm Focus on the Facts and Truth /\ as WE

multiple FAKE Social
Security numbers for his entire adult life.

ALL eXXXposed. ! ` And Americans are NOT Impressed with his Network of Degenerate Thieves, Terrorists and RIPP OFF SCAMMERS

and Cons, all PARADING and Masquerading as Crack Heroes.

Obama {the Fraud} Then HOPED and CHANGED himself into becoming the first CRACK HEAD President in History.
Incorporating the criminal template / master-plan of his Entire Life, into CHANGE for the UNITED STATES Herself.

The Model ? Was HIS very own Dispicable, Unethical, Cowardly and Dishonorable - IMAGE.

Barack Hussein Obama II ~( Who HATES American Values ) who is A " SELF PROCLAIMED Religious and Political Enemy" ~0f ALL

Responsible, Morally Conscious and HARD WORKING Americans.

...The UN~CHANGEABLE, Cowardly, Fraud, has done His VERY BEST to Inspire His Degenerate MOb to VIOLENCE. LITERALLY, Saying

“Get ready for HAND-to-HAND Combat with your Fellow Americans ! !

“I want all Americans to get in each others faces !– ^ Obama `Demands !
