Obama Hits Record High Disapproval as Presidency Staggers Under Weight of Scandals, Iraq Failure
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Sunday, June 15, 2014 | Kristinn Taylor

President Barack Obama is taking a long Fathers Day weekend vacation in California as his administration founders under the weight of accumulating damage from myriad scandals, an un-stemmed flood of illegal alien children on the U.S. southern border and the near collapse of Iraq.

The Gallup poll three day average of Obama’s approval-disapproval released Sunday, June 15 has his disapproval hitting 55%, tying the record high Gallup disapproval set in late August 2011.

Obama’s approval rating is at 40% putting him underwater by a remarkable 15 points.

Obama’s approval-disapproval has trended downward quickly from just two days ago on June 13 when he stood at 43% approval to 51% disapproval–an 8 point spread.

Heading in to this weekend Iraq was in danger of being overrun by the Sunni terrorist group ISIS; the IRS informed the House Friday afternoon that it had allegedly lost two years of emails by IRS scandal figure Lois Lerner; U.S. Border Patrol agents were sounding the alarm about Obama’s anarchy on the southern border and the fallout from the deadly VA scandal and Obama’s trade with the Taliban of five senior terrorists for the Army deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl were till reverberating. The news media, as can be expected, is ignoring this latest collapse in Obama’s support.

Just last week, Gallup announced that it was expected Obama’s support would stay steady at 44% for the month of June.

I once told a friend the country could not survive a second fool on the hill term. He is now in Spain telling me I was correct and left early.

Anyone who voted for O in 2012 should be either expatriated, committed to an institution for the criminally insane, or made to serve breakfast in bed to Michelle Obama promptly at 5.58am five days a week, while dressed as a donkey (party mascot). You are to NEVER make eye contact with the first lady.

The older daughter resembles his side of the family - she has a long face with big jaw. IMO

You may be right. I really haven't studied them.

Chelsea now knows that her Dad is a whore hound and Mom is a butch lesbo.
Obama’s daughters will know Daddy is a wrump wrangler and Mom, a hairy Wookie.

There was a lot of election fraud in ‘12. It’s never been systematically investigated or quantified, so no one can say exactly how great or crucial an impact it had on the outcome.

They won’t forget.

Oh sure. With their 'no limit, top of the ritz' lifestyle I don't think they are spending a second obsessing about where their Dad is.

For all you and I know, their 'happiness' stems from NOT being around him.

And this about the two:

After a quarter of century of the constant turmoil and drama from the grifters from Hope, the American
people have had it with the House of Clinton. She’s an old hag and he’s a limp corndog.

0bama’s destruction of America is not over, it is just beginning.

He has an open door to accelerate his plans to undermine our Constitution.

Everything that he has done so far is merely a test of what he can get away with.

Which so far, is everything.

The next phase will be social unrest on a scale not seen since the riots of the 1960’s. I doesn’t matter to him who is rioting in the streets, but I suspect he would like to provoke so called “right-wing” types into a shoot-out.

Social unrest from either camp on a massive scale would allow 0bama to suspend our constitution as a means to remain in power, “for the greater good”, of course.

If the conservatives refuse to engage him, he will provoke/empower others to do his dirty work.

This President is not finished with his aim to “transform” our country.

The only thing I want to make sure of is that he stays tied to his party and fellow Democrats, so he can drag them all down this November.

‘For all you and I know, their ‘happiness’ stems from NOT being around him.’

Good point. One thing we know: Malignant Narcissists are no fun to be around. This is exponentially true if they’d rather be somewhere else, but have instead been pressured into spending time with a person or persons under the guise of a duty/obligation. They can be sheer misery under those circumstances.

I thought one of his daughters went with them,

I thought Malia was going, but it seems that might have changed.

The Obamas "will spend Father's Day in Palm Springs with their daughter, Malia," Earnest said. "Sasha did not make the trip this weekend."

President Barack Obama is taking a long Fathers Day weekend vacation in California this weekend with wife Michelle but not their daughters.

Does not matter. He has the media propagandists and the 47 percent; why should he worry?

He doesn’t care. He’s forcing this country to submit to more and more invasive socialism. By the time he’s out of office, he’ll be chuckling.
