Fondly Remembering Obama – 4/26/2017

Running with pet dog Bo, March 15, 2009

Wondering why a few conservative friends are less than impressed.

  1. As President Obama left the White House, the mainstream press was falling over itself proclaiming how popular he was.

    “Obama leaving office on a very high note,” was a typical headline.

    Yet despite the media’s fixation with polls, the press completely buried one of the more newsworthy poll findings — a Gallup report that came out last Friday, which took a final look at the President Obama’s popularity over his eight years in office.

    That poll found that Obama’s overall average approval rating was a dismal 47.9%.

    Only three presidents scored worse than Obama since Gallup started doing these surveys in 1945: never-elected Gerald Ford (47.2%), one-termer Jimmy Carter (45.4%), and Harry
    Truman (45.4%).

    1. Thank you, major.

      I’m interested in what you believe this means.

      How does this information influence what you think?
      If it doesn’t, how does it support the opinion you already have?

    1. Thank you, major.

      I’d like to see you develop that topic a little.

      What does the report mean to you?
      How does it impact your opinion?
      What do you believe it should mean to the rest of us?

      1. I am fairly certain Majormajor didn’t read it. It was re-tweeted by Kellyanne Conway and she said it was good. That’s all. If Majormajor actually read this lengthy article he’d come to the conclusion that it’s an article about inter-agency squabbles and government agents and investigators who were, understandably, upset that their work was disrupted by geopolitics and disagreed with the decisions of their bosses.

        It is an interesting article, though. Reads like it could have been an episode of The West Wing.
