Survey: Obama gets thumbs down from the troops
CNN ^ | December 22, 2014 | By Jeremy Diamond

President Barack Obama has struggled with sagging approval ratings over the last year, but the commander-in-chief's numbers may have dropped further among active-duty troops.

Just 15% of active-duty servicemembers gave Obama a thumbs up in the annual Military Times survey and more than half -- 55% -- say they disapprove of Obama's job as commander-in-chief.

Troop morale has slumped during the Obama administration, falling to 56% this year from 91% who were satisfied with their quality of life in 2009.

No kidding. Just before I retired the clintoon was elected and it just made retiring a little sweeter to not serve any longer than possible under that bastard. We though he was bad but I can’t imagine what the current force has to put up with.

$5 Billion for a deserting traitor, but 1% increase (down from 1.7%) and cuts to benefits in housing, medial, etc. What’s surprising?

The 15% are men and women that pretend to be the opposite.

If it weren’t for low morale among the troops, they would have no morale at all.

Much like the NYPD and their current opinion of the miserable excuse of a Mayor they are saddled with, the Current Occupant now squatting the White Hut just does not inspire confidence at any level

Take out the blacks who stick with King Opie because of his skin color, then take out the homos, lesbos and other sexual perverts and he’s got ZERO approval.

Except for the faggot general officers that Obama has retained its doubtful that he could raise enough of a force to blow his own nose. He will need the military for his final coup to succeed.

The Libs will claim its because the Army is mostly non black and they hate Obama, and they watch Fox News.

But I thought that Clown Prince nobama and his ubber grifter wife, mooch-elle, “loved” the troops. You’d think they’d return the “love”. Racist ingrates!!!! Have a Merry Christmas!

Our military is willing to fight for our freedom, not socialism, plain and simple. Would you put yourself or order others into harms way to support a guy whose intent is to invoke a communist regime into power? America is waking up and is not dead yet.

There is another digit that I’m sure they’d love to give him.

Eh, I think many of the remaining Obama enthusiasts are the service members who have 4 children by 3 different fathers. Eliminating conscription has forced the military to tolerate things that never would have been in the past.
