God's approval ratings vs those of Obama and Congress
Edited on Sat Jul-30-11 07:00 AM by MBS
Alexandra Petri in the Washington Post:

President Obama undergoes great moments of pain and dark nights of the soul when he fails to obtain an approval rating above 46. But even among people who believe, God rates no higher than a 52.
Only 71 percent approve of God's job of creating the universe. Five percent disapprove, leading one to believe that they were just messing with the pollster. "Cuttlefish," say the other 24 percent. “C’mon.”
But after a certain point this is ridiculous.
“Look, if you want to do big things,” thunders a voice from the heavens, “you have to stop trying to please everyone."


And here are the full poll numbers:

1. I can tell you exactly when God lost my political support.
He told Palin to run for VP, told O'Donnell to run for the Senate, and now (the final straw) he has told Bachmann to run for president. His political judgment is awful! I could never support a deity who is this much in the tank for far-right-wing extremists. He is working at cross purposes to America, and I just can't approve.

Sorry, God. You blew it.
