And, WRT is "job approval rating", does it surprise anyone that at this point the only people left supporting him are the 40% of hardcore democrats in this country? The battle is always for the middle 20% of independents and they have abandoned him in droves. His approval rating will NEVER drop much below where it is now because all that's left is the Obamabots who have swallowed the cum, fondled the balls, and lapped it up for 6 years.
Eh, his numbers with independents are about the same as his overall numbers.

36% of independents. Not great. But, certainly not as your argument suggests...
Well then maybe it's the 35% hardcore libtards, with a 4% bump for those independents who have been living under a rock for the past 6 years.

Not that shocking. Just look at this forum for a good cross reference...dback, lube job, houndy, Cappy, D1B, kalm (most of the time) will defend him until their dying breath. :nod:

Well, you're not accounting for those with no opinion / undecided.

And, again. I said it wasn't great. But, 64% isn't accurate.

THIS is the most depressed time I've ever experienced. I rode the bus when Obama was elected. I've never seen so many happy people.


All I see in peoples faces is exhausted. I miss BSing with black folk. I like them. My experience working in warehouses and in the locker room has given me the ability to communicate without the whole racist skin color. And they appreciate a white guy addressing them like there is nothing different between us. Because we are all just people.

These days are just divisive. I have never felt this way about my fellow man. Skin color be damned.
We don't have many (blacks out here, and I know a few) so I didn't realize the Obama presidency had created racial animosity.

My brother and I were having lunch and basically agreeing that this presidency can't get OVER fast enough

Good to hear it. I think one of the worst things about American politics is that we the people just can't seem to admit that we were wrong. I do understand it. It took me way to long before I finally threw up my hands in disgust at W. :oops:

Wrong answer, Myron. It's because the conservatives on this board are much more willing to admit that the current system is broken and that, donk or conk, there's very little difference once they hit the White House.

This is true for conservatives. Since January, 2009.
