President’s popularity dropping like a rock. A big, heavy rock.

The approval rating for The Greatest President In History has been trending south lately. And the pace is accelerating. According to Rasmussen, he just hit his lowest negative rating to date:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 32% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –5.

The number who strongly disapprove inched up another point to the highest level measured to date and the overall Approval Index is at the lowest level yet for Obama.

Decline, descent, dip, dive, downslide, downswing, downtrend, downturn, drop-off, fall, nosedive, plunge, skid, slide, slump, tumble. Call it what you want. We are witnessing the decline and fall of the Obama Empire.

And wouldn’t y’know it, the news networks have suddenly lost their interest in public opinion polls.

When his approval rating gets low enough he’ll just revert back to his real name and claim to be a different person.

The media will back him up.

What will the MSM do once the polls like Gallup show him in negative numbers?

Because of his constitutional ineligibility he’s technically not the president, so it doesn’t count!

A large heavy rock doesn’t necessarily fall any faster than a smaller lighter rock.

Neglecting air resistance they fall at exactly the same rate.

A small rock falls at the same rate as a large rock.

Talk about Watergate, of course.

Actually, a big heavy rock drops at exactly the same rate as a small pourous lightweight rock. The big rock just does more damage to whatever it drops on.

How about the rates of fall for a large piece of (r@p compared to a small piece of (r@p.

Just thought (r@p is a more appropriate comparison for the Kenyan.

We are going to be using this phrase a lot. The stimulous caused the economy to bounce like a big heavy rock. The energy tax will be like a big heavy rock tide to the leg of US industry. We need an acronym for Big Heavy Rock, BHRock pronounced like Barack.

Obama bumper stickers still dominate the roads in my area. Of course I live a short drive from Seattle, the leftist mecca of the Northwest.

But one hitting bottom makes a bigger splash than the other.

“And wouldn’t y’know it, the news networks have suddenly lost their interest in public opinion polls.”

It’s beyond disgusting, and beyond the point where something should have been done about it. I understand that Liberals live in an upside down world (Infanticide is “choice”! Homosexuality is normal! The coldest weather in 50 years is proof of global warming!) and I understand that the vast majority of the mainstream media is liberal, but what I DON’T understand is why, at SOME BASIC LEVEL these morons don’t even have the sanity to preserve their own country and personal well-being. Even a BUG... the dumbest, lowliest, simple BUG tries to move out of the way if it looks like you’re going to stomp on it or swat it. Are Liberals REALLY dumber than insects? — worse, what do we do when they become so numerous that they take over our Government and try and insist that WE become as useless, perverted and brain-dead as THEY are?

Isn't it great that FReepers are so much more likely than the general public-at-large to be aware of such scientific truths.
