    A Republican hack got caught lying about whether he said the Dow was judging Obama’s presidency.

    The WSJ started the ball rolling with a March editorial, which was picked up by wingnut blogs everywhere.

    I remember one morning when Obama gave a speech the Dow went down, and Drudge posted a headline “Was it something he said?” (referring to Obama)… Then by lunchtime the Dow recovered and gained, and Drudge took down the headline… by the afternoon the Dow was slightly lower than open and Drudge put the headline back up.

    Nice try, Obama said months ago the DJI was like a tracking poll and goes up and down.

    Mar 13, 2009 … He claimed, “The stock market is sort of like a tracking poll in politics.”

    I am sure the record deficits, huge unemployment and obscene national debt is now down to zero based on the last two weks of the DOW.

    Obama, your President, is losing ground every day and the country suffers.

    More information re; BO’s ‘performance.’……

    “For the first time since President Obama entered the Oval Office, a majority of voters disapprove of the president’s job performance in a Rasmussen tracking poll – a downturn that has the potential to sap the White House’s clout as it begins the heavy lifting required for health care reform.

    The survey showed 49 percent of likely voters approved of Mr. Obama’s job performance and 51 percent disapproved. It reflects a steady decline from a high job-approval rating of 60 percent immediately following his inauguration Jan. 20.

    The steepest decline in popularity – a 15 percentage point drop – the survey found was among independent voters, who were crucial to Mr. Obama’s election victory. They cooled from a 52 percent approval rating March 1 to 37 percent Friday.

    Women, another key voting bloc for Mr. Obama, defected by double digits, slipping from 63 percent March 1 to 51 percent Friday.

    Just 25 percent of likely voters believe Mr. Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus has helped the economy, the Rasmussen survey showed.”

    The people are awakening…..BO’s gonna’ be a ‘one-and-done.’

    1200 days until Election Day.

    If it makes you feel better Rick, I think your faith based GOP strategy for 2012 is awesome.

    Interestingly enough, the Dow has increased as Obama’s popularity and approval have dropped. Are these connected, or is it just a coincidence?

    Wow a Rasmussen poll dissing Obama — now that’s a surprise. Next, you’re going to point me to a video of Hannity blasting Obama.

    I thought the govt media said we judge BO based on the unemployment rate or is it the rate of increase of the unemployment rate which is decreasing or was it the amount of stimulus dollars that save jobs or the stimulus dollars that will save jobs next year…sorry, I forgot-now it’s the number of policemen that “act stupidly” or is it the beers we share with policemen that we said “act stupidly”?

    Conservatives are so silly. Aren’t they precious?

    Precious Isotope,
    If you can’t argue the facts, just argue

    So by your standards you would have pronounced Reagan a failure in July 1981. The economy sucked and was getting worse.

    You bet I read it. The problem is you can’t face reality. Obama’s FUBAR economy is hurting everyone but especially minorities and the Liberals don’t know what to say.

    Possibly, after that beer with Gates and Crowley he can do at least one thing to help this country.

    It is enjoyable to have the Dems hurting their own President and to hear them ignore him. The key part of health care reform seems to be the availability of ortho services for Obama. They need to give him a backbone.

    Record deficits, huge national debt, no domestic agenda moving to fruition, international weakness, calling COPS stupid, speechless with out a teleprompter, laughed at by Dem leadership. Charlie Brown could be a better President.

    Aren’t liberals desperate?
