My prediction is they're going to pull a "Bill Cosby" on him before long, just in an attempt to save the party.

    btw, you should plan on that happening in '16, the country has had enough of the emperor and I don't think they're going to support that party again for a while, especially if things get better with the takeover from the last election, not that I'm sure that will be a good thing either... 

     

    LMAO, there isn't a Republican alive who can win in 16. lets not forget the President still has a higher approval rating then the Republicans.

    trawler, as a Non-Partisan Independent that is equally critical of all sides and posters I am calling you out here...

    while I do think what killerb is saying is silly and much of his painfully obvious biased partisan rhetoric and view points are, I would like to know if you actually have numbers to actually back up your statement that the president still has a higher approval rating then the republicans...

    It is my understanding that president's approval rating is extremely low and considering the recent elections I cannot see how he can still be higher then the republicans...

    Perhaps this makes me sound like I am a conservative supporter, but I can assure you as a Non-partisan I am just trying to be fair and equal to both sides and trying to discern honest truth as I always try to...

    What does it matter if Obama's numbers are higher or lower than Republicans? Obama isn't running in 2016. What you need to look at is individual matchups like Hillary vs. Jeb, Hillary Vs, Paul, etc...

    Not that numbers this far out really matter anyway.

    I agree with eeyore76, and dl36. both sides sukk! and there doesn't look like anything in the near future will change that. both parties have ideas to help the people but must win for their party, rather than helping the people!

    honestly as a Non-Partisan Independent I am just keeping it real and challenging the claim he made as it did not sound right to me...

    I think right now the most important match ups are with the candidates own parties as we don't even know who to match up yet...

    shame is unnatural--you aren't born with it, it's learned.  why should anyone ever feel shame over anything?

    Sure Trawler, the President is clearly more popular - see the mid-term election results for your statistical proof. Maybe in your home he's more popular, but that's about it.

    How about considering the ideology in the '16 match-ups? 

    If another obvious left wing radical (environment, happy marriage, big government, open borders, scandal heavy, record-deficits, race-baiting, imperialistic) candidate runs vs. a conservative successful governor that can at least balance a ledger sheet & stimulate the economy, who's the favorite going to be? 

    I guess it's not impossible that Hillary can distance herself from all of this, but since she was in the first administration and did more damage to the middle-east while she was there, what's she going to run on? If that's untrue please tell me the shining lights of success she had while on the job?

    I think many of you lefties are oblivious to the damage this man has done to his party by consistently governing against the will of the people. Have you heard anyone mention that Cuba had to be dealt with? As if every blade of grass in the country is perfectly manicured, it was time to turn our attention to Cuba relations, but certainly I can see the consistencies between Castro's ideology and Obama's. It's unbelievable...

    Republicans have no shame - that's my argument to that claim. 

    You just keep discounting my viewpoint DL. wtf difference does it make if it's biased - everyone one here comes with a bias. You call it rhetoric - I call it as I see it. MAKE AN ARGUMENT ABOUT MY POINTS FOR A CHANGE INSTEAD OF THE SAME USELESS RESPONSE.

    Slow your roll there turbo and drop the caps...

    no need to shout...  Let try to keep it civil

    Well to claim an out there biased left field viewpoint as fact is the problem...  at least you admit that your view point is no realistic and based on more on skewed bias and partisan rhetoric...  I respect that you admit that what you post is not how things are, but instead how you desperately wish and hope things are...

    I think we are seeing eye to eye now...

    Now I ask you again... what is your opinion specifically on the topic of the thread...

    Let me refresh your memory of that what posted... as I am trying to polite and helpful even in the face of your anger and rudeness...

    In a move that surprised nobody, Republicans inserted riders in the spending bill increasing an individuals donation limit to party committees 1000% (wait for it..........protecting ones freedom) and gave the big banks a nice little gift to get the taxpayer back on the hook for derivative trading.

    What is your opinion of this specifically?

    On the other hand, I searched on line for 10 minutes and cant find one poll that has the republicans approval #'s higher than Obama's.

    Nov. 11th 2014.................

    Republicans in Congress enjoy a 42% approval rating. Obama, on the other hand, sits at a 39% approval rating. His disapproval rating sits at a whopping 56%.


    When asked by Gallup who should have more influence over the direction of the country, a majority of Americans chose Republicans in Congress over Obama by a whopping 56-36% margin.

    I don't care which poll you want to cite but it's like pot calling the kettle black either way.

    "Seventy-three percent say they disapprove of the way Mr. Bush has handled his job as president over the last eight years.

    Mr. Bush's final approval rating is the lowest final rating for an outgoing president since Gallup began asking about presidential approval more than 70 years ago."

    If 56% is "whopping", what do you call 73%?

    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..as reported by CNN...

    As a Non-Partisan Independent critical of both sides equally I know I may be coming across as pro-GOP and perhaps I might lean that way at times, but I am asking about the numbers on this purely to get to the truth...

    could you at least provide one comparison of numbers between obama and the GOP where obama is rated higher?

    Rassmussen ?   Is that the same Rassmussen Tracking Poll that had presidential challenger Mitt Romney 49%  support to President Barack Obama’s 48% on election day 2012 ?
