    Obama: Low rating shows unhappiness with Congress

    VINEYARD HAVEN, Massachusetts (AP) — President Barack Obama says his low approval rating is a reflection of public unhappiness with Congress.

    He's only partly right. The public hates everybody in government, not just him.

    I'm surprised* that he's commenting on his approval rating. I don't know how the people that voted for him and like/liked him view it, but in my eyes it's textbook deflection and is indicative of his narcissism that he even takes time from his vacation to address it.

    It's kind of a worthless question. "Hey, everyone hates you, any comment? I wouldn't mind seeing Obama flip out on someone before this is all over.

    You'd just trash him for not keeping his cool though.

    And you'd be right to do so.

    If Obama turns all bitter and dividing like Jesse Jackson when he's ousted from office, either from term limits (after another term, yes), impeachment (if the economy keeps tanking he might get Gray Davis treatment) or voter ousting (which would be about January 2013 I guess), I don't think he'll be as much fun to listen to.

    I'm surprised he didn't say it was the Tea Party's fault.

    Maybe that will be next week's spin.

    I'm surprised he didn't blame Bush for his low approval ratings.

    Repubs should just give CNN a boatload of money for this screenshot....

    That is pure gold.

    And if he didn't address it, a lot of folks would post pictures like this


    and say that he was ignoring a bad situation. He's in a lose-lose situation, and right now, you really can't blame him for much, he's got a Congress that hasn't allowed him to push through his policies. There's no telling where we'd be if he had the ability to do that. Congress' do-nothing approach sure as hell hasn't worked though.

    The Dems controlled Congress for Two years and passed Barack's agenda---Look at the results----If he still had a super majority in both Houses the Country would be in even a bigger mess

    Exactly. Some people don't seem to get that the Repubs sweeping into the house in one of the most dramatic shifts in the history of the House was a direct result of Obama doing and passing whatever he wanted.

    I also wonder what policies Obama is trying to push through, but can't... I haven't heard much except raising taxes on the rich and corporate jet owners... That isn't going to fix the economy and he seems pretty much out of ideas after that...

    Well, no, don't pretend that the Democrat controlled Congress actually passed Obama's plans, 'cuz that's not what happened. Republicans and conservative Dems (read: Dems who received large donations from lobbyists) thwarted the President's agenda. He really never got a chance to implement anything that was totally his agenda.

    And as far as healthcare reform goes, how can you possibly say it was a failure before it's even really been implemented? As far as what has been implemented, would you say that allowing kids to stay on their parents' healthcare plans through the age of 26 while they're still attending school has been some kind of failure?

    I disagree...he made campaign promises that he has been unable to keep...he knew the cards he was dealt...he knew that we were in "The Greatest Recession Since the Depression"....no one to blame but himself....

    If Obama couldn't get his agenda through in 2 years when he had a super majority in the Senate and majority in the House like you say, then it just proves how poor of an executive he really is.... A president couldn't ask for more than he had.
