I'm nowhere near being willing to say that we're going to win this thing in 2012, only because I know what corrupt Democrats are capable of at election time. Having said that, Barry does seem to be offering us some help here, if only we’re smart enough to properly take advantage of it. It’s been a slow, steady decline but Barry "Almighty's" job approval rating has now finally dipped below that of Jimmy "The Bonehead" Carter, earning Barry the worst approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern history. And this fact should come as a big surprise to anyone, why exactly? He does nothing but to perpetually whine about the horrible hand he inherited and yet has done nothing but to make matters so much worse. And it would at least appear that he has done so on purpose. After all, what self respecting economist can look at what Barry has done and claim that any of it was done to improve the economy.
So according to Gallup's daily presidential job approval index Barry‘s job approval rating is now resting quite comfortably at 43 percent compared to Carter’s 51 percent. US News adds: "Back in 1979, Carter was far below Obama until the Iran hostage crisis, eerily being duplicated in Tehran today with Iranian protesters storming the British embassy. The early days of the crisis helped Carter’s ratings, though his failure to win the release of captured Americans, coupled with a bad economy, led to his defeat by Ronald Reagan in 1980." Barry, like Carter before him, has routinely demonstrated the fact that he very clearly has no love for this country. He has made that blatantly obvious through his willingness to demean it and apologize for it at every opportunity and to do whatever he can to weaken us, economically and internationally, as a nation.
According to Gallup, here are the job approval numbers for other presidents at this stage of their terms, a year before the re-election campaign:
– Harry S. Truman: 54 percent.
– Dwight Eisenhower: 78 percent.
– Lyndon B. Johnson: 44 percent.
– Richard M. Nixon: 50 percent.
– Ronald Reagan: 54 percent.
– George H.W. Bush: 52 percent.
– Bill Clinton: 51 percent.
– George W. Bush: 55 percent.
And something that you, at least, would think would make matters worse for Barry, while still not being something that we should rely on too heavily at this point, is the fact that Gallup reports that Barry’s overall job approval rating ranks among the worst in American political history, averaging just 49 percent. Now, it is a fact that only three former presidents have had a worse average rating at this stage: Carter, Ford, and Harry S. Truman. It's also worth noting that no president in history, except the unpopular Truman, won re-election with such ratings. And, as US News points out, Truman did so by running an anti-Congress campaign that Team Barry is now using as its model. Strangely, the current climate in Iran is eerily reminiscent to what it was when Carter was president and Barry's willingness to remain hands off may not bode well for his re-election chances.
The worst thing that we could do would be to start to counting our chickens before they're hatched. We cannot afford to start getting over confident regarding our chances in 2012. That is a trap that we simply cannot afford to allow ourselves to fall into, because to do so would be at our own peril, potentially threatening whatever chance we may have of getting Barry out of office. We should all be very much aware of the depths to which Democrats will sink in their attempts to achieve electoral victory. And their many allies in the state-controlled media are only too happy to offer up whatever assistance they can. Character assassination though the tactical use of lies, innuendo, rumors and unsubstantiated accusations is the primary tool of their rather unique trade. The politics of personal destruction is the Democrat weapon of choice as they have no record on which they can run.
