Historically Unprecedented: Obama Approval Lowest Ever 10 Months In

Obama and his handlers seem to preface every proclamation by saying it's historic and unprecedented. How do the big babies handle this? Why, by being snide and obnoxious, of course.

President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term.

Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and even Richard Nixon all had higher approval ratings 10-and-a-half months into their presidencies. Obama's immediate predecessor, President George W. Bush, had an approval rating of 86 percent, or 39 points higher than Obama at this stage.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said he doesn't "put a lot of stock" in the survey by Gallup, which has conducted presidential approval polls since 1938, longer than any other organization.

"If I was a heart patient and Gallup was my EKG, I'd visit my doctor," Gibbs said in response to questions from Fox. "I'm sure a six-year-old with a Crayon could do something not unlike that. I don't put a lot of stake in, never have, in the EKG that is daily Gallup trend. I don't pay a lot of attention to the meaninglessness of it."

Except when he had high numbers. Then everyone gushed how popular he was. Now?

Silence. Except for the puerile schmuck Gibbs. I guess The Gallup Organization is the next to enter the crossfire. Although when you consider Obama's steep decline tended to coincide with his disastrous War on Fox News, one wonders whether taking on a generally-favorable pollster is a wise idea when you're already enmeshed in a quagmire of your own making.
