Oh... Respondents side with him on some things

Yes; most people agree with educating children, and that Climate Change is real.

It's quite a stretch to claim some sort of pathetic victory on.



{JUST IN} The number of Respondents siding with him on "the sky being blue" are of the charts! Alert John Stewart! Fire up the spin machine!


For the record, Romney would be exactly the same. But you know that.

I'm pointing out that the survey hardly shows what the Examiner claims; it's just a typical survey with not unusual polling numbers for this point in a two-term President's administration.

And actually, no, Americans have been remarkably resistant to accepting the reality of Climate Change:

Which is bad and continues to be bad. If this were Game of Thrones, Iraq/Bengazi/etc. is the War of the Five Kings while Climate Change is the White Walkers bearing down on all of Westeros. We have no sense of what our actual serious problems are.

So the complete and abject failures of this administration to govern the nation in a positive manner are because other 2 term presidents lost favor with the public in their 2nd term?

That's akin to explaining away the Titanic disaster by referencing the fact that "all maiden voyages have some hiccups"

He has not made one competent decision when it mattered - he has repeatedly sat on his hands and waited to react to situations when they have already escalated to the point of disrepair. Except of course when he is bypassing the Constitution to pass laws...errr...executive orders...by himself in the middle of the night (NDAA) or releasing Terrorists back to their homeland without consent of Congress.

There is a 6 1/2 year track record that documents this to anyone not wearing blue-tinted glasses.

I'm not sure how one can continue to defend the indefensible. Oh wait, blame "Dumbya" for this meteoric decline in popularity...that always works... well, at least it works for Jon Stewart.

Regarding the cartoon - what an utterly despicable and deranged thing it is turning a 35 year old mother, daughter, and sister who spent the final moments of her life hopelessly fighting off a lunatic with a blade as he stabbed her repeatedly in the neck, into a punch line.

I'm glad someone said this. Agreed. Truly disgusting.

Listen, I get how people detest the previous administration, I've said it before that they all should be brought up on treason charges and at least tried.

To continually live in the past, offering no solutions and incessantly blaming what happened 10 years ago is pathetic and borderline pathological.

But to take the leap where you make a sick, vile joke - the punch line of which is a savage, brutal murder against a surprised, unarmed, woman (and young man) who had no ability to defend themselves is incomprehensible.

If your hatred of Dick Chaney is still so much a part of your everyday life that this cartoon gave you a "chuckle", you really ought to consider therapy. Daily doses of Jon Stewart can't cure that mess.

Actually, according to a Pew Research poll slightly more than half of Americans do not believe in man-made global warming:

It's actually quite an improvement from a few years back when Rush Limbaugh had his Conservatard lemmings brainwashed into believing it wasn't even happening.



Now the challenge is a matter of convincing them that it is being caused by CO2 emissions and not simply a matter of their invisible BFF in the sky hitting the reset button every 10,000 years.




Good luck with that one.

"According to a new Quinnipiac University poll, 45 percent say the country would have been better off if Mr. Romney had been elected"

That has to really hurt

i saw a report earlier about him being less popular now than bush jr. that would also be painful. but i don't think we'd be better off with romney. i'm glad i already ate lunch, because the thought of romney would make me lose my appetite.

i'd rate them both the same, altho i do think bush got more assistance from congress in screwing up than obama has. has obama gotten anything of note done since obamacare?
the house does nothing, i don't even know why they bother going to d.c. well, except to vote repeatedly to repeal something that won't be repealed...

Thats funny because many deal with that feeling on a daily bases with Obama


Also looks like the Senate isn't doing its job either
