These are public approval polls. The media has such a lot to do with public perception that I wish there was some way to factor in the MSM’s slobbering over Obama vs. their torches-and-pitchforks coverage of Bush.
For example, all that time at the end of Bush’s tenure, when his numbers were in the toilet, the press coverage of the War in Iraq was viciously negative. All we saw in the press was Bush Lied, People Died, Blood for Oil, and Gitmo Gitmo Gitmo (where no one had been waterboarded in more than 5 years and … oh wait, Nancy Pelosi had signed off on that after seeing a demonstration of waterboarding).
Yet WE WERE WINNING THE WAR IN IRAQ. Violence was way down. Deaths of soldiers and civilians were way down. People were having free elections.
When was the last time the MSM’s corrupt0listers even mentioned the fact that soldiers and civilians are still dying in Obama’s War in Afghanistan or that Gitmo is still open? Not to mention drones, kill lists, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, IRS, ObamaCare, rampant violations of our civil liberties and THE DEBT?
Senate Democratic leadership seem determined to toss aside Senate rules in its rush to cover Obama’s Morsi-supporting, Muslim Brotherhood arming, red line drawing backside.
September 4, 2013: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved a modified war resolution (10–7) with one member, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), voting present.
September 9, 2013: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is poised to bring the measure to the floor, then put the vote to the full Senate as soon as Wednesday, September 11, 2013.
According to Senate rules, hearings should be notified seven days in advance, business meetings should be notified at least three days in advance, and members should have 24 hours to consider legislative text before having to vote on it.
Not to mention that this coming Wednesday is the anniversary of the lethal 9/11 assaults on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, United Airlines Flight 93, and our embassy in Benghazi which were all perpetrated by the anti-American, Muslim extremists Obama has been funding, arming and is determined to send our troops to support in Syria.

Senate Breaks Own Rules in Rush to Vote on Syria War by Josh Rogin – Sep 4, 2013
There is good reason to believe that Barack Obama himself is responsible for the “Blame The Video” Benghazi cover-up.
(There is a 6 hour time difference between Benghazi, Libya and Washington, D.C. Times given are Washington time.)
Between mid-day of Friday, September 14 through mid-day of Saturday, September 15, Obama’s people and Clinton’s people shot emails back and forth, working out just how to remove all mention of Islamic terrorism from the CIA’s talking points.
On Sunday morning, September 16, 2012, Obama’s U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on all the major television stations swearing it was all about the YouTube video.
September 16, 2012: Susan Rice on ABC [1:52]
Why would Clinton and Obama collaborate in an absurd and elaborate lie?
Obama was running for reelection and election day was 56 days after the Benghazi attack … plenty of time for a scandal to develop enough to sink his chances, not enough time for said scandal to fade or be overshadowed by other hot topics.
Clinton was positioning herself for the 2016 presidential campaign and needed Obama to win so she would not be running against an incumbent Republican.
Together, Obama and Clinton had been the architects of the American foreign policy of empowering Muslims because they only don’t like us because Bush was such a bad guy. See, if we would be EXTRA NICE to them, they would obviously return the favor and be EXTRA NICE to us.
Thus, when Nidal Hassan shouted, “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire on his co-workers at Fort Hood, the Obama narrative demanded it be classified as nothing more than “workplace violence.”
That Obama Narrative was that Hassan was just really upset about all the sad stories his PTSD patients told him about all the sucky things that happened to them while fighting Bush’s Stupid War. Hassan had never seen combat, but you know … he was just THAT compassionate. And it totally follows that, being a real sensitive guy and loving his military patients so deeply, he would totally deal with his angst by murdering fellow military personnel. Right?
So when more than 100 guys known to be affiliated with al-Qaeda attacked America (a U.S. consulate is U.S. soil) wearing the Afghan-style tunics favored by Islamic militants and armed with hand grenades, assault rifles, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), heavy machine guns and artillery mounted on gun trucks, it HAD to be blamed on Racist Right-Wing Intolerant Bush Style Islamophobia.
It was even more important, so close to the 2012 election, that the Obama-Clinton “We’re Not Big Meanies Like Bush” foreign policy be perceived as having succeeded. Whoever among them located that pathetic YouTube video deserved a raise. From what I heard, it had been viewed all of 300 times before it got blamed for having set off an international incident.

The 10 P.M. Phone Call By Andrew C. McCarthy – May 18, 2013
If anybody gives you grief about being “disrespectful” toward their messiah, show them the piece of left-wing trash I found at the Daily Kos. Can you believe anyone actually DISSED George W. Bush (who they call “The Chimp”) for hosting special events for Wounded Warriors? They even managed, in the same short space, to DISS anyone and everyone who has ever worn the uniform. These people make me sick.
The Chimpster [brags about] sponsoring a golf tournament for Vets. How thoughtful. And why not? Most of them have fairly flexible schedules nowadays (unemployed).
Except for the few lucky troops who found time to practice at the driving range when not dodging IEDs, I imagine most have never stepped onto a golf course, other than to pick up trash, turn on the sprinklers or to find a quiet spot to spend the night? http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/04/11/1082548/-Can-George-W-Bush-Find-a-one-legged-Veteran-Who-Won-t-Beat-Him
In case you’re wondering why I haven’t said much about the situation in Afghanistan, it’s because I’ve got kids over there. IN. HARM’S. WAY. I had to take four breaks to get this graphic done. I can’t even look at the headlines about that other thing without feeling the veins on my neck bulge alarmingly.
If this post seems meandering,disjointed and totally incoherent–it’s about normal
THE ‘TAKE CARE OF ME’ SOCIETY IS WRECKING THE USA
I’ve been meaning to write about this,so I’ll take the opportunity.
It seems there will never be another ‘greatest generation’ that our parents and grandparents were a part of.The reasons are myriad.Today’s generation lacks the moral core founded in God and family which motivated them to sacrifice for the common cause.A will to win,as it were.Enduring personal hardship to see those fighting to keep us free had everything they needed.
Today’s culture is rooted in having things done for them and holding no values other than taking the easy road.I can think of no scenario where a majority of Americans would accept even a minimum of deprivation for any reason,even their own security.Look at the unions.They would rather the states go bankrupt or see their fellow workers thrown out of work rather than compromise their pay increases,retirement and generous medical plans.
You see multiple generations of families who live on the government dole and make no attempt to fend for themselves.Asking them to pick up trash or mow some grass and they feel like you’re trying to make ‘slaves’ out of them.Newt suggested giving some kids jobs as janitors to earn their own money and look at the hell he caught.Our foreign enemies know they don’t need to attack us physically.Our national will has atrophied and without strong leadership we will continue to slouch toward Gomorrah.
ROMNEY SPOKESMAN BEHIND EFFORT TO REDISTRICT ALLEN WEST OUT OF EXISTENCE
If the GOP tries to get rid of one of the few real men we have,there will be absolute hell to pay.
I guarantee it!
IT STARTED AS TWO GUYS HAVING A CONVERSATION
IF YOU WANT TO GET GOOSFLESH,OPEN THIS THREAD!
Two guys were discussing how sad it was that there were no “Welcome Home” parades for our Iraq veterans.
The word spread like wildfire and tens of thousands showed up along with hundreds of bands and floats.
Maybe the Obamas hate the military,but these patriots beg to differ.
