I’m surprised his approval ratings are as high as they are. There truly must be a lot of clueless people in America. The only people that seem to be doing well are government workers.

“The only people that seem to be doing well are government workers.”

23% of workers are either members of unions or public sector employees. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/union2.t03.htm.

41 million Americans are on Food Stamps http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/05/record-number-americans-receiving-food-stamp-benefits/

More than 50 million Americans are on Medicaid

In light of these numbers, it’s not hard to cobble together 41% support for this president.

Bankruptcy attorneys must be doing well -- and my cousin, the psychiatrist, tells me he's never been busier.

Remember 40% of Americans do not pay taxes at all. Of course they approve, The black vote is pretty much locked in and the Homosexuals love the guy (LiterallY???). Then we have the mentally ill like Chris (Tingles) Mathews, and Olberman, add the incompetents in his staff he has given jobs to, and 41% probably is the bottom for him.

Yes, many millions of them, and they vote Demoncratic, too.

Unfortuntely, there are millions of them. The disastrous dumbing down of the US education system is beginning to have a scary affect.

There are days I'm thankful I'm old. And feel sorry for the under 40 crowd. My, but you have been royally screwed. And many of you don't even know it.

I think his ratings are inflated by "white guilt".

When these questions are asked 5% to 15% might say they approve just so the questioner won't think they are "racist". Hussein fosters this response. In the privacy of the voting booth, their response might be a lot different.

Comparisons with George Bush’s ratings are meaningless.

A 41% approval rating is not “Rock Bottom”.
That means 2 out of 5 people would still vote for Obama.
It’s scary to know there are that many idiots running around with the right to vote and no one to make sure they take their meds.

Obama was at 41% last August and again last November -
Now he is back at 41%.

When he drops below 40% and keeps heading down we will be on the right track.

My only question is who are the 41% who feel so good about Barry?
