President Barack Obama Averaged 49.1% Job Approval During First Term in Office, Among the Lowest of Post World War II Presidents

Second Term Mandate … Hardly.

According to Gallup, President Barack Hussein Obama’s job approval during his first term in office was among the lowest of ant of the post-World War II presidents. His average of 49.1% during his first term  and 48.1% during his final year of his first term is only above Jimmy Carter and George H.G. Bush. However, these two individuals lost reelection. With a consistent high unemployment rate, record number of individuals on food stamps, near record low job participation and record debt, it makes one scratch their heads how GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney did not defeat Obama. 

One really has to wonder just how low Barack Obama’s job approval ratings would be if he did not have the liberal MSM carrying his water and opening supporting and campaigning for him. How would the American people feel about Barack Obama if they did not have a lying and complicit propagandist media running cover for him? It explains how such an epic failure of a president was reelected. Which begs the questions, had it not been for the corrupt liberal media complex, would a lazy and apathetic America still voted him in for a second term or would they still have bought into Obama’s divisiveness and class warfare?  

President Barack Obama averaged 49.1% job approval during his first term in office, among the lowest for post-World War II presidents. Only Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford had lower job approval averages. Obama’s first-term average is most similar to Bill Clinton’s. Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy, and Dwight Eisenhower were the most popular first-term presidents.

Obama’s first-term approval average, like those of most presidents with lower first-term averages, was likely dragged down by a sluggish economy. Clinton and Reagan saw higher second-term approval as the economy improved. Obama’s approval rating has also shown improvement, with a 48.1% average in his fourth year in office after a 44.4% average in his third year.

Democrat Pat Caddell: “There Is a Purposeful Conscious Effort to Suppress News That Might Hurt Obama” (Video)

From liberal media bias … to the Press now actively engaged in determining an election … “Purposeful Conscious Effort to Suppress News That Might Hurt Obama”

During an interview on The O’Reilly Factor, Democratic pollster Pat Caddell told Bill O’Reilly tonight that there is a purposeful conscious effort to suppress news that might hurt Obama. In a speech seen n the below VIDEO, Caddell stated that if any other President of either party, whether it was Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Ronald Regan, or George H.W. Bush had a terrorist incident and got on a plane and flew off to a fund raiser in Las Vegas, they would have been crucified by the press. However, not for Barack Obama, nothing was said at all, and nothing will be said.

“Purposeful Conscious Effort to Suppress News That Might Hurt Obama”

VIDEO Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit

“Whether its organized or a straight conspiracy and we have gone down a slippery slope here. Look Bill, we’ve had liberal bias or bias in the press for a long time. And it’s gotten worse starting in 2008. But now we’ve got a press that is actively engaged in a reelection – putting out a narrative that Romney is a loser, they’re running polls… But Romney’s not my issue here. More importantly they not only decided to support Obama. On this issue the last two weeks what we see is a press that has decided that it will not tell the American people the truth.”

He said, “… and my brother [GWB], well I love my bother. He is a man of integiry, courage and honor. And during incredibly challenging times, he kept us safe. So Mr. President it is time to stop blaming your predecessor for your failed economic policies. You were dealt a tough hand, but your policies have not worked.

Former Democrat Sec of State Madeline Albright Says She Intends To Blame Bush Forever for the Economy

Madeline Albright, yet another unhinged Leftist, Democrat that intends to blame George W. Bush forever for the economy. Forever? Really Madame Secretary?

Many would have expected more from the former Democrat Secretary of State under Bill Clinton. I guess not. It would seem that Albright is nothing more than a dishonest liberal who blames GWB for all the evils of the economy. Of course Barack Obama’s policies, agenda and out of control spending that has driven the national debt to nearly 16,000,000,000,000.

Mediaite:

In an appearance before a Democratic audience captured by Revealing Politics, President Bill Clinton’s Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, recalled the story of her recent encounter with a protester while campaigning for President Barack Obama. She was asked by an agitated audience member how long she intended to blame President George W. Bush’s policies for the recession and the sluggish economic recovery. Albright says that she proudly replied, “forever.”

EXIT QUESTION: If God forbid Obama win in 2012, will be blame the inherited bad 2012 economy on himself?

The Hill Poll: Majority of voters Blame President Barack Obama for Bad Economy and Not Bush

President Barack Obama in serious reelection trouble as Americans now blame him and not GWB for the bad economy. The economy belongs to Obama.

According to a recent Hill poll, a majority of Americans overwhelming blame Washington, DC for the bad economy as opposed to private financial institutions and they blame President Barack Obama the most. Wow, what is Obama to do, you mean he is actually going to have to own the economy? It appears that the 2012 Presidential election will be a referendum on Obama’s handling of the economy.

But its Bush’s fault

Two-thirds of likely voters say the weak economy is Washington’s fault, and more blame President Obama than anybody else, according to a new poll for The Hill.

It found that 66 percent believe paltry job growth and slow economic recovery is the result of bad policy. Thirty-four percent say Obama is the most to blame, followed by 23 percent who say Congress is the culprit. Twenty percent point the finger at Wall Street, and 18 percent cite former President George W. Bush.

The results highlight the reelection challenge Obama faces amid dissatisfaction with his first-term performance on the economy.

Don’t look now, but the blame Bush mantra is no longer working. After 3+ years in office, the America people now blame President Obama more than they do former President George W. Bush for the bad economy.

Who is most to blame for America’s economic woes during the past few years:
President Obama 34%
President Bush 18%
Congress 23%
Financial institutions & corporations 20%
