Obama approval rate hits new low, ties with Dubya

Quote from Tsing Tao:

Except that the President's approval rate reflects the public's view on his policies, and that of his administration and party. History has shown that the President's party suffers for the mishaps of the President. We saw that with Bush in his second term, and that's what led the Democrats to get a sweep on the elections in 2008, and the Republicans to come roaring back in 2010.

Why do you think the Democrats up for election are so rabid about the whole Obamacare thing? Polls about Congress/Senate approval levels being low have been low for a long, long time. No one gave a shit. They get what matters. You don't seem to, however.

Perhaps, but this largely invalidates the "congressional approval" polls. Look at Mitch McConnell. Largely unaffected in previous years as polls about republicans and congress as a whole slid right off his back. Now, however, his constituency in Kentucky has woken up and is pissed off at him, and he has a challenger from the Tea Party. As a result, he's panicking.

Any number of idiot incumbents could go that route if they lose control of their constituency.
 
Got benefits through your job? Don’t worry. You still have months before your insurance gets canceled. That’s right. Since Obamacare’s infamous launch, millions of people have lost their health insurance. But if estimates are accurate (and there is every reason to believe that they are—or at least close), roughly 80 million Americans will lose their health insurance because of Obamacare when the employer mandate kicks in.

From Fox News:

Almost 80 million people with employer health plans could find their coverage canceled because they are not compliant with ObamaCare, several experts predicted.

Their losses would be in addition to the millions who found their individual coverage cancelled for the same reason.

Stan Veuger of the American Enterprise Institute said that in addition to the individual cancellations, “at least half the people on employer plans would by 2014 start losing plans as well.” There are approximately 157 million employer health care policy holders.

Avik Roy of the Manhattan Institute added, “the administration estimated that approximately 78 million Americans with employer sponsored insurance would lose their existing coverage due to the Affordable Care Act.”

…A new wave of cancellations and sticker shock will emerge just before next year’s elections....


What’s not mentioned in this article is just how blatantly obvious it is why Obama (illegally) postponed the employer mandate. If everyone would have lost their health insurance at once, it would have been the end of the law. Game over.

What’s more, it proves that he knew how awful it was going to be. There’s no getting around that fact. He can’t pretend that he didn’t know. Why would you suspend a law that you think is going to be great for everyone?

Most importantly, it means that Obamacare is about to get even worse.
 
"So in a bit of not-so-shocking news, Iran says that Obama is lying about the recent deal that was stuck between the United States and Iran in an attempt to slow Iran’s nuclear progress.

From the Freebeacon:

Iranian officials say that the White House is misleading the public about the details of an interim nuclear agreement reached over the weekend in Geneva.

Iran and Western nations including the United States came to an agreement on the framework for an interim deal late Saturday night in Geneva. The deal has yet to be implemented

The White House released a multi-page fact sheet containing details of the draft agreement shortly after the deal was announced.

However, Iranian foreign ministry official on Tuesday rejected the White House’s version of the deal as “invalid” and accused Washington of releasing a factually inaccurate primer that misleads the American public....



It should come as no surprise that Obama would lie to the American people. That’s what he does best.

What is surprising is that even the deal that was admitted to is a crap sandwich."

Could it be that on the world stage the Iranians are more trustworthy then Obama?

As far as I'm concerned they ARE more trustworthy.

We expect Iran and other enemies of the USA to deceive and lie to us. We have a right to expect our prez "to act in the best interests of the country and tell us the truth".... of course we all now know how hopeless that is.

All of the people who voted for that asshole should be ashamed of themselves.
