		<description>AC, and this is the advice Merriam-Webster gives to ingnorant fools like danbrome who use &quot;irregardless&quot;:   &quot;Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

GWB was elected for a second term, that won&#039;t happen for Obama.</description>

Obama&#039;s number&#039;s aren&#039;t even approaching the &quot;toilet&quot; that Bush&#039;s numbers were in for most of 2008.

		<description>Chile, who in the world cares about the TV ratings? Turn off your TV and do something outdoors!

I thought that whole infomercial on ABC was stupid to begin with. Snooze.</description>

		<description>Chile, you are right in post #17. If that picture is worth a thousand words, this one is worth a million.

http://www.pollster.com/blogs/assets_c/2009/01/gwb%20approval-thumb-550x412.png

Granted, it&#039;s not Rasmussen, but it&#039;s close. Notice the similar &quot;honeymoon&#039;s over&quot; trend at the beginning?

Notice how 9/11 and Iraq were huge opportunities to be an effective leader and he blew it?

And look at the last two numbers? Do you people REALLY want to slam Obama&#039;s numbers right now? Didn&#039;t think so.</description>

		<description>Pete, in post #16, I challenge you to go find similar charts for Bush II, Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, etc. and I bet you will find a similar curve. It just illustrates the natural honneymoon period winding down for each president. It&#039;s not a sign of the appocalypse.</description>

		<description>Makes you wonder what definition danbrome uses for a &quot;reasonable reader&quot;.  Since danbrome is himself unreasonable it seems obvious.</description>

Oh now I get it..  this is just an absurd act, an attempt to be funny.

For a while, I thought you were serious.

No reasonable reader would review these results and conclude that Obama&#039;s numbers have continually gone onto the toilet.</description>

		<description>Liberal danbrome, you fool, I chose Rasmussen because it&#039;s the most up to date.  The RCP average includes polls that are two weeks old.

RCP average:  You prove my point, you uneducated stooge.  Look at the graph, dolt, Obama&#039;s numbers have continually gone into the toilet since he took office five months ago.

Liberal danbrome:  Stupid, ignorant, and uninformed.</description>

		<description>President Obama&#039;s Approval Ratings:

Gallup 6/25 - 6/27              57% to 35%  +22 
Rasmussen Reports 6/25 - 6/27   54% to 45%  + 9 
Democracy Corps (D) 6/19 - 6/22 56% to 36%  +20 
ABC News/Wash Post 6/18 - 6/21  65% to 31%  +34 
CBS News/NY Times 6/12 - 6/16   63% to 26%  +37 
NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl 6/12-15  56% to 34%  +22 
Pew Research 6/10 - 6/14        61% to 30%  +29

Strong Support, solid performance.

I wonder why you would have picked the Rassmussen poll for your sample?

Oh yeah, it&#039;s the best one for those of you in denial to cherry pick from the list.

Even though the approval ratings have fallen a few points since election day, our bold and courageous President is building the confidence of the American people.

		<description>Liberal danbrome responds with another post about a typo someone made? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

This comes from a little sissy who claims to have a college degree but thinks &quot;irregardless&quot; is a word.

Four days ago, liberal danbrome gave an &quot;apoligy.&quot;

Perhaps liberal danbrome would be better served by using his queer eye for the dotted &quot;i&quot; to proofread his own posts.</description>

		<description>danbrome,
Since it is obvious that you are incapable of having an intellegent conversation I will not even attempt it.  You clearly are in denial of the facts and will never be anything other than a pain in the ass with nothing of importance to add to the conversation.

I wish you luck and hope that someday you recognize the fact that you are part of the problem in todays political world and somehow redeem yourself and become a part of the solution.

Until then you will only help the Republican Party regain the majority in Congress and win back the White House.  For that I thank you.</description>

		<description>2010, apparently AC and liberal danbrome missed the ratings for Obama&#039;s informercial that ABC provided to him free of charge.  He came in last place!  He was even crushed by a repeat of CSI NY.

		<description>Approval at inauguration: 65%
Disapproval at inaugration: 30%

Current approval: 55%
Current disapproval: 44%


Now pay attention here, is approval has gone from 65% to 55% but his disapproval has gone up from 30% to 44%.  All those people that were withholding judgement in Jan. now recognize the extreme left wing agenda of this administration and are unhappy.

Will Obama start shooting people in the streets when the protests start in 20210?</description>

		<description>Chile,

You really need to take a closer look at your beloved Rasmussen Reports:

Current Approval: 55%
Current Disapproval: 44%

Average Approval since inauguration: 57%
Average Disapproval since inauguration: 42%

So you think that proves his ratings are &quot;sinking?&quot; Take a stats class then we&#039;ll talk.</description>

		<description>Liberal danbrome, you prove once again that the DFL has no moral compass.

Speaking of Obama, did you see his ratings continue to sink?

		<description>You may be right.  He is a Democrat and the DFL doesn&#039;t seem to give a damn about anything but winning, no matter what it takes.  There are plenty of people like you who only vote their pocket book everybody else be damned.</description>

		<description>2010, Stevens was convicted on 7 counts - all tossed out in April when prosecutorial misconduct was discovered.  I hope that all involved in the misconduct lose their virginity in prison.

To Franken supporters this is still a win.  Stevens was narrowly defeated while partisan charges were made.  Democrats won&#039;t lose a moment of sleep about wrongly convicting a good and decent man, all they care about is having another seat in the senate.</description>

		<description>All the congressman has to do is provide the financial information related to the trip.  If he did nothing wrong he has nothing to lose.

His refusal is looking like a cover up and will cost him.</description>

		<description>What crimes has Stevens been convicted of Andrew?  Being accused for partisan political purposes does not make anyone a criminal.  http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE5302O820090401

How about Delay?  Is this website your source for your claim? http://wallstreetjackass.typepad.com/raptureready/2006/01/tom_delay_sente.html

Has the Jefferson trial ended and the verdict arrived?  Sure he was found with $90,000 dollars in his freezer but it has yet to be proved it was his.  http://allafrica.com/stories/200906090397.html</description>

		<description>Saying it was personal is a HORRIBLE excuse and he shouldve thought of another one if he&#039;s goingn to try to get out of this.

I believe Jefferson, Stevens, and Delay all committed their crimes for personal reasons as well.</description>

		<description>If Congressman Ellison were willing to disclose the information there would be no need for  &quot;the Ethics Committee is revisiting whether the congressman must report it, said Ellison spokesman Rick Jauert.â€ 

Sorry danbrome but it is obvious that the Congressman is unwilling to disclose the information unless forced to by the ethics committee.

Those are the facts so please discontinue your &quot;rhetorical babble&quot; and either provide a reasonable response or resist the temptation to be a jerk.</description>

		<description>Liberal danbrome, I&#039;m still waiting for Hakim Ellison to disclose the details that led up to the 911 call by a woman reporting that Hakim Ellison assaulted her.

I&#039;d like to know if the assault was of the punch/slap variety, or if it involved touching private areas.

		<description>Is it always a &quot;slow news day&quot; when a Democrat&#039;s ethics are being called into question danbrome?  Why is Congressman Ellison so unwilling to disclose this information?

Is he eventually going to disclose but is now delaying in order to do a cover-up?  Will he back date a check and will the organization receiving the check back date the receipt of the funds?  It takes time to re-do the books.  

I suspect that he will &quot;come clean&quot; in the next week or so after having enought time to make everything look right.

&quot;Slow news day&quot; my ass.</description>
