President Obama's approval numbers are in the cellar, a new Quinnipiac University survey just dubbed him the worst president in six decades, so maybe it's no surprise that analyst and pollster John Zogby is asking: “Is it all over for him?”

Armed with new numbers that are depressing to an already deflated White House, Zogby on Wednesday found that most don't believe that Obama can lead the country and he compared the president to Bill Clinton following the Democrat's sweeping 1994 Congressional loss and when former White House Correspondent Brit Hume asked if Clinton was even relevant.

“Mr. Obama finds himself in the uncomfortable position where every age group, independents, and whites all agree that the public has given up on his ability to accomplish anything before the end of his term,” said Zogby in releasing his latest numbers.

“In short, we see a president in full salvage mode. He is not only racing for his legacy but for his relevancy,” Zogby added.

The analyst who pens a weekly report card on the president for Secrets, however, said that there is one positive in all of his polling: As much as Americans disapprove of Obama, they like Congress even less.

http://economicoutlook2015.com/ The Great Recession in the U.S. started in December 2007 and lasted for 18 months... Since the Federal Reserve enacted its quantitative easing strategy, the S&P 500 has soared more than 200% in value. During the same timeframe, the number of Americans receiving food stamps has essentially doubled to 46.23 million, or one-sixth of the American population.

For 70% of the workforce, inflation-adjusted hourly wages are still lower than they were in 2007. Over the same period, inflation (CPI) has risen 15%.

Even U.S. housing, the bright spot in the U.S. economy, isn’t as robust as many think. The Case-Shiller Home Price Index may be up 25% since the beginning of 2012, but it still needs to climb an additional 20% just to break even with its pre-recession levels.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/louisefron/ ... rate-12-6/ Watching falling unemployment numbers being reported at 6.2%, down from nearly 10% four years earlier, is simply misleading.

Despite the significant decrease in the official U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) unemployment rate, the real unemployment rate is over double that at 12.6%. This number reflects the government’s “U-6” report, which accounts for the full unemployment picture including those “marginally attached to the labor force,” plus those “employed part time for economic reasons.”

"I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life."

takeaway from a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

But while other pollsters have shown Obama's approval rating getting slightly better, none have shown him recovering to the extent that this survey does.

Through his press secretary, President Obama expressed regret on Monday that neither he nor any other high-ranking American official joined 44 world leaders who marched alongside millions in Paris last weekend. Then on Friday, in an effort to make amends, Secretary of State John Kerry brought James Taylor to Paris to sing "You've Got a Friend."

The response from Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state and likely 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, hasn't been any better. Clinton has remained silent about the Charle Hebdo massacre since it occurred on January 7.

I predict a serious back-lash and a swan-dive plummet in his approval ratings.

Well you know what they say, if you can't dazzel with brilliance, baffle 'em with BS.

Hillary is a successful, wealthy woman who pretends otherwise and stubs her toe on money issues, such as when she described herself and her husband as “dead broke” upon leaving the White House. Also, Hillary has difficulty distancing herself from Wall Street; the Wall Street Journal has reported that she and her husband have raised nearly $5 million from Goldman Sachs alone. http://www.lizpeek.com/

Uh huh. http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Gas prices way down
Because you really pay attention to what's happening in the world, huh? That's because OPEC is trying to drive us out of the market, smart one. And they're not doing a bad job of it. Self-reliance is our only hope in this scenario, but Barry don't wanna open up the keystone.

Osama dead
Yeah, and Barry pulled the trigger himself, right? The military that he is trying to cut back had nothing to do with it.

Over 30 million Americans now have health care
DO NOT get me started on this. Seriously. Just don't.

stock market up
People have more money to spend. Fortunate side effect of an unfortunate cause.

Jobs up
Until OPEC pushes down past $40/barrel and spikes the cost again, then we go right back to where we were. This is a temporary thing, and isn't even remotely effected by your king.

Unemployment down
Less people claiming unemployment because their time on it ran out != less people unemployed.
