3. The goal of the MSM

"The MSM is absolute garbage. 90% of them are part of the right wing echo chamber. This is the result of their inept and intentional half ass reporting, dealing with a nation of sheep "

...is to keep spinning Obama as unpopular to create the impression that he's incompetent. From the Yahoo article:

And the foreign-policy approval rating for Obama might actually be artificially high. The poll was conducted before the crisis in Iraq, a situation for which Obama has been roundly criticized, bubbled up and grabbed international attention.

Obama's handling of international events have earned him criticism over the past few months — from the crisis in Ukraine to his administration's decision to execute a prisoner swap to free U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five Taliban-affiliated prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay military prison.

According to the poll, 44% of respondents said the administration should not have made the exchange, compared with 30% who supported it.

Really? So they're anticipating his numbers to be negatively impacted by his decision to not go into Iraq, and claim most American disapprove of saving an American? Is the implication that Americans prefer a Republican foreign policy, war all the time?

Poll Finds the American People Strongly Side With Obama On Not Sending Troops To Iraq

By: Jason Easleymore from Jason Easley

A new poll released to day by PPP found that by a nearly two to one margin (54%-28%), the American people are strongly siding with President Obama’s decision not to have sent combat troops back into Iraq.

There are two interesting points in the PPP poll:

-Only 16% of Americans would support sending combat troops to help deal with the crisis in Iraq, compared to 74% who are opposed. There’s a bipartisan consensus on that issue with with Republicans (28/57), Democrats (10/86), and independents (9/86) all strongly opposed to sending combat troops.

<...>

-Asked specifically whose vision they agreed with more about having US troops in Iraq between Obama (no troops under any circumstances) and John McCain (troops should have remained in Iraq after 2011), voters side with Obama by a 54/28 spread. In addition to Democrats strongly siding with Obama’s perspective, independents (53/28) and Republicans (49/30) do as well.

People aren’t buying what the Republicans are selling on Iraq. Republicans are blaming the violence on withdrawal of American troops, but 67% of Americans think the conflict is rooted in centuries of internal conflict that was exacerbated by the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq. Americans overwhelmingly support providing intelligence to the Iraqi government (56%-30%), and a major international diplomatic effort (52%-30%) to stabilize Iraq.

It turns out that the American people aren’t about to get fooled again by the same lies that got the country into Iraq in the first place. The Republican Party is playing a politically dangerous game by trying to blame President Obama for the wave of violence in Iraq. Instead of blaming Obama, the Republican attacks are reminding the American people that it was the GOP who lied and got the nation into a war of choice.

More the Yahoo piece:

•When asked their predictions on the rest of Obama's term in office, 54% said they thought he "cannot lead and get the job done," compared with only 42% who said the opposite.

LOL! Right, that's why Diaper Vitter is trying to convice people he would expand Medicaid if only the people of Louisiana would elect him Governor. Notice the MSM isn't reporting 24/7 on the ass kicking Republicans are taking on Obamacare?

President Obama is serving up a can of STFU to the Republicans and their MSM shills.

"Obama effectively painted a bull’s eye, inviting Republican apoplexy. And yet, crickets. "

Despite the MSM polling, which has shown this President receiving low marks for years, he still won re-election by a landslide and continues to wow people wherever he goes.

His remarks were frequently met with boisterous applause and whistles, and several standing ovations.

I look forward to his NBC/WSJ poll numbers dropping into Bush territory and then Cheney's. After all, this is the MSM's goal.
