Obama Bashing Works WSJ Poll, Media, Bitch Bitch Bitch


Obama Bashing Works WSJ Poll, Media, Bitch Bitch Bitch

A majority of Americans maintain a favorable view of President Barack Obama, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

Some 60% said they had either a “very” or “somewhat” favorable view of the president—a slight dip from the 64% who said the same in April. Meanwhile, 29% have a “very” or “somewhat” negative view of the president—a six point increase from the 23% who said the same in April.

Just 11% are neutral when it comes to the commander-in-chief.
Dick Cheney has seen a bump in his favorability, with 26% citing a “very” or “somewhat” favorable view of the former vice president. In April, Cheney had an 18% favorable rating.

He’s doing better than the Republican Party overall, however. Just 25% of poll respondents have a favorable view of the GOP—the lowest rating marked by the WSJ/NBC News poll in recent years, and one point below the previous low of 26% in February. Nearly half, 44%, reported a negative view of the GOP.

In contrast, the Democratic Party gets a 45% favorable view and a 37% unfavorable. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fares worse, with a 46% unfavorable view compared to a 24% favorable view. It is the speaker’s worst unfavorable rating to date in this survey.

Pelosi and Cheney battle the CIA and Pelosi polls go down, Cheney’s poll numbers go up? I watch cable news and you can flip through the channels in the evening and at least two of the four main, 2 Fox, 2 CNN, CNBC, MSNBC are bashing everything he dose. When Bush was president the media slept except when they wanted to scare the hell out of people. The main media are run by republicans for republicans not for the American People and like Fox 2 so called Business channel bash everything Are President does everyday.

They want Obama, Are President to Fail so the republicans can come back business as usual.

1. Maybe...
...if the President did as much for people as he's done for corporations, his popularity would be much, much higher.

3. No, like a Democrat.
FDR didn't lead off by slinging cash at Wall Street.

Perhaps maybe I should just eat cake and shut up?

5. Brit Hume and the Bush administration take propaganda to a new level
Brit Hume and the Bush administration take propaganda to a new level

Just as George Bush and Dick Cheney have done on politically important occasions, Gen. David Petraeus (along with Ambassador Ryan Crocker) last night selected Fox News' Brit Hume as the "journalist" rewarded with an exclusive "interview." Whereas Hume, in the past, at least has pretended to play the role of journalist when interviewing high Bush officials -- doing things like asking (extremely respectful) questions about sensitive areas (with no follow up) -- he dispensed entirely with the pretense here. This "interview" took government propaganda to a whole new level, and really has to be seen to be believed (the full video is here).

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/09/11/petraeus_interview/index.html

This kind of Bull Shit is still on going on a regular bases, The media no longer delivers the news they deliver talking points and propaganda for there own benefit and screw Americans like it’s some sort of game. They are playing us against them, they for some reason think we the people are lower then pawns in some strange game. Watch they give two or three real stories then insert a Propaganda or politically motivated story to make it look like so called news.

7. He may not be in free fall
but if economic conditions continue to deteriorate and these media outlets continue to hammer him, his approval ratings will plummet. You might just get to see it. Stay tuned.
