Obama is less competent than George Bush, say a plurality of Americans

With President Obama's approval rating still deep underwater, a new survey from Fox News finds that Americans generally think George W. Bush ran a more "competent" administration. In the survey, a 48 percent plurality said Bush's White House was more competent, while 42 percent picked Obama's.

At the same time, fully two-thirds of Americans said Bill Clinton's administration was more competent than Obama's, versus only 18 percent who liked Obama's better. - - Jon Terbush

Ya, since we’re told that opposition to this president and his policies is racist, then we must all be racist.

Question: if so many people are racist, how does a majority white country elect a black president in the first place?

And then if the next president is a woman, or a member of some ethnic/racial minority, then it will similarly be bigoted to oppose that president.

If we ever have a homosexual president, it will be anti-gay bigotry to oppose that person.

Perhaps Democrats will never again nominate a white man to run for president. They have the formula down pat, that you have some member of a grievance group, such as a minority, a woman, a homosexual, and then that person will be said to be immune to criticism.

Interesting. For 8 years, the press talked CONSTANTLY about how stupid Bush was.

For 5 1/2 years the press has CONSTANTLY told us how brilliant Obama is.

Yet more Americans think Bush administered better than Obama?

Wonder what the public would think if the press was actually neutral?

I don’t recall even the most extreme Bush-haters wondering if he was insane.

Even Jimmy Carter is thought of as being more successful than the Marshmellow C-I-C.
And Jimmy was no winner
But he was no "WHINNER "!! like this current Obadinga, who says:
"I didn't know about it , until I saw it on the news !"

Rasmussen polling has Obama at 52% approval.

All is well.

Good old Rassy poll, sheese, we know where his bread is buttered.

An example of how on the up and up the MSM is I have it on excellent authority that Dippy Todd tried to get a reputable polling outfit to change a poll so it would better reflect on Oslimey. They wouldn’t and he got pissy.

Guess that’s what happens when you have a incompetent quota boy as your leader.
