Recovering Economy, lower taxes, HC Reform started, getting the gop moving on purging themselves of their cancer(TParty) ..... errr, and you are surprised that the President is viewed so favorably?
GDP falling, UE rate up again, deficits surging. Payroll taxes, capital gains tax, and marginal rates all just rose.

I love the lefties proclaiming that the fourth quarter was an aberration and then like Harry Reid, blaming it on the Republicans and spending cuts. I am going to have to say that there was something else in the fourth quarter that happened, say around November, that caused the economy to go down. Hmmm, I wonder what that was.
Bottom line is that we are far worse off than we were 4 years ago as a nation - anyone who is foolish enough to parrot Harry Reid and say we are in a recovery is just an idiot.
Yeah, it is kind of stupid when we see the horrendous job that he has done with his economy, trampled all over the Constitution, is in the process of ruining healthcare and running this country into the gorund as a whole.

No, I'm just providing some perspective and context for why the President is at a 60% approval rating. Your points are why he is at a 40% disapproval rating. I'm not stating personal approval nor disapproval.
Horrible economy? The economy added 157,000 jobs last month and the DOW is close to 14,000. This is spite of the fact that Republicans are trying their hardest to weaken economic growth.
The feigned ignorance of Republican supporters is almost laughable. As if they don't realize that a huge turd traveling at terminal velocity on 1/20/2009 is going to continue traveling in the negative direction until their own obstructionism and priggishness can be overcome so that the new administration can start slowing the sharp decent initiated by the previous administration and eventually turning it around. Since the President's policies have stopped the plummeting turd that President Bush dumped on us, the nation has added literally millions of jobs and has enjoyed a rather decent recovery. But denial must run deep to gird Republican supporters against the troubling news reality brings them, that their efforts to make things worse for everyone, in a cynical attempt to grab power that they don't deserve, have failed.
