Obama's Popularity Not What It Seems

[gnadfly]

Polls have Obama's "Popularity" or "Approval Rating" at around 52%. I wonder if they use the same polling methodology that had Trump down 8 to 10 points before he won the election?

In other words, are people telling pollsters "Yeah, I like him" just to avoid being labeled a "racist?"

Yes and Yes.

What he just did ala the Israelis and the Russians will be the "deplorable moment" for Obaminable. It merely underscores his political and racial biases in his decision making, and is consistent with his War on the Police during which he leaped to conclusions before ALL OF THE FACTS ARE DEVELOPED.

Re the Russians: According to Obaminable there doesn't need to be a "report" left on the desk for Trump and there doesn't need to be one of those pesky Congressional "Select Committee" Investigation with all those aggravating HEARINGS on the question of Russian Cyber interference, SINCE HE HAS DECIDED!

He's not only shit on the Democrats as an organization, he has shit all over the political face of the Minority Leader of the upcoming Senate and his former Secretary of State who just got her ass kicked in the General Elections with BOTH DECISIONS.

I can hear it now from President Trump by February 1st 2017:

"After a careful review of ALL OF THE INTELLIGENCE that was available in December 2016 and additional INTELLIGENCE just reviewed by me, which is not available to the former POTUS and cannot be released to him because he no longer has the credentials to see it, and cannot be released to the General Public (as the former POTUS said) to avoid disclosure of methods and technics and pesonnel), I have come to the conclusion that the former POTUS was premature and uninformed when he made the decision to sanction the Russians in December 2017 when he was a Lame Duck President and like so many of his other decisions, both domestically and internationally, his ignorance and haste resulted in bad decisions and bad policy. As a consequence I making the following decisions along with the others I have had to make for the purpose of correcting those wrongs before they do further damage to the Country and the citizens and residents of this Country: Reverse the decision to Sanction Russia IMMEDIATELY and support Israel 100% regarding her interest in self-protection, seeking recognition as a State, and engaging in activities consistent with the history and culture upon which those activities are based. We will continue to work diligently, fairly, and respectfully in the process to arrive at a peaceful resolution of all the conflicts in the Middle East, including, but not limited to the Israeli-Palestinian disputes, but will not tolerate the initiation of force against other people to secure concessions in agreements or acquire rights that have no basis in history and/or culture."

It is just more FAKE NEWS.

I believe the pollsters question was: Do you like Obama finally leaving office.

You cannot believe anything that pollsters hired by the MSM or the DNC will come back with.

.. or Do you like Obama better now that he's leaving office?

.. or Do you like Obama on the golf course better?

.. or Do you like Obama when he keeps his mouth shut?

The point is ... he went around the country putting his reputation on the line for HillaryNoMore ... and see the results.

Gnadfly brings up a real issue here. I just re read some stories written in September and October that, "according to the polls", a win by Trump was "unthinkable". The Democrats were confident of winning POTUS and a sweep of Congress, based, I believe, on the surveys. The results of the election showed how wrong the survey results were. Who ever is doing the surveys needs to take a hard look at their methods because they obviously have their HUA.

[Guest123018-4]

I would bet that a very large percentage of the people polled do not even know who the President is or who the President elect is. But, if they voted at all, they probably voted Democrat.

Odumbo was the real amateur ... and he has the foreign policy failures to prove it.

Cock-sucking would be your self-professed proclivity, Sissy Chap. Your ilk defends your right to suck cock until you choke on your last gurgle, Sissy Chap.

Well, that takes chutzpah.

President Obama is criticizing President-elect Donald Trump for failing to attend what The Post calls “the most exclusive, and arguably most important, daily meeting in Washington” — the Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) — warning his successor that without the daily intelligence brief, “you are flying blind.”

This coming from the same person who skipped more than half of his daily intelligence briefings in his first term. As I reported in this space in 2012, during his first 1,225 days in office, Obama attended his daily meeting to discuss the PDB just 536 times — an attendance record of 43.8 percent. In 2011 and the first half of 2012, his attendance dropped even lower, to just over 38 percent of the time.

Talk about flying blind.

Derek Chollet, a former senior official in the Obama administration, accused Trump of “malpractice” for skipping the same intelligence briefing his former boss regularly skipped, declaring “I think it is totally irresponsible in a post-9/11 world.”

Not only did Obama commit the same malpractice, Obama used the same excuses as Trump to justify it. For example, Trump’s advisers have argued that he gets briefed by many sources and meets regularly with his national security team, including retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn. That is precisely the same line of argument the Obama White House used in 2012, when then-National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor told me in an email “this focus on just the PDB and not the countless other NSC meetings the President has each week really misses the point. For example, the President had a briefing with the Principals Committee to review 9/11 threats and mitigation efforts on September 10th. Seems like a relevant data point for your piece.”

So Obama could rely on other national security briefings, but Trump cannot?

Trump’s critics have also mocked him for saying that he did not need to attend daily intelligence briefings because “I’m, like, a smart person.” As Obama put it this month, “It’s a big, complicated world. It doesn’t matter how smart you are.” But back in 2012, his NSC spokesman told me that Obama could forgo his daily intelligence meetings, and simply read written reports, because he was “among the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet.” (Translation: He’s, like, a smart person). Indeed, skipping the in person briefing was a point of pride for the Obama White House. “Unlike your former boss [George W. Bush],” Vietor wrote, Obama “has it delivered to his residence in the morning and not briefed to him.”

Obama was so smart, he did not need briefers.
