CNN Helps White Assholes Declare Obama Worst President
There’s a new poll out showing that President Obama is the Worst President Since World War II, a poll which CNN reported on with the not-even-skin-deep shallowness we’ve come to expect from the mainstream media. The Quinnipiac poll shows that Obama was rated worst by more respondents than any other president. At 33%, the President was even rated worst by more people than George W. Bush’s 28%, or Richard Nixon’s 13%.
In reporting the news, CNN’s John King joined Bloomberg’s Margaret Talev and Olivier Knox of Yahoo! News in dispensing the analysis that these are not “good numbers,” that they reflect a “partisan split,” and that Obama is the most recent president, and so the freshest in people’s minds.
What they’re ignoring is that this result was driven entirely by aggrieved conservative white people. While CNN declined to cite crosstabs based on race, they did reference party identification, and here’s how that voting went…READ MORE

That’s OK I think CNN is on the list of clueless too

And Fox viewers have been leaving Fox and going to CNN.

It’s a step in the right direction. From right-wing propaganda machine to CNN the insomnia remedy. We can only hope CNN puts them all to sleep on election day so they don’t get a chance to vote.

You have excellent taste in avatars. Just be careful of saying, “Frau Blucher.” It drives the horses crazy.

Well he won’t be getting MY vote! He’s sure to lose re-election in 2016, I’ll tell you that much for certain!
Jack Tafoya July 2nd, 2014 at 17:31
Re-election??? What country do you live in?
Rusty Shackleford July 2nd, 2014 at 17:42
It’s a joke. He can’t be re-elected or even run for it. I’m mocking all these popularity polls, because they could not be more meaningless if they tried. Who gives a crap about the approval ratings of people who aren’t up for re-election, and why?
edmeyer_able July 3rd, 2014 at 13:24
He could be appointed to SCOTUS in 2018 by a certain former SOS if they happen to be elected.

This is my only gripe with what Obama has done in during his admin. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2010/12/wikileaks-cable-obama-quashed-torture-investigation
Carla Akins July 2nd, 2014 at 18:30
I am not happy with:
Drones
Transparency
NSA/Spying
Gitmo
Whistleblower
There may be other smaller issues, I can’t recall off the top of my head but these are significant issues.

Make a suggestion here…. Maybe the Mods should communicate about what stories are getting posted. This same story posted 3 different ways…
Carla Akins July 2nd, 2014 at 18:27
Sorry Pistol, mods are not briefed on what stories will be posting. There is some topic redundancy but from different contributors providing different insights or emphasis.

Not surprising to see that on CNN, when its major sponsors are Koch Industries and BP

Where was the coverage of the poll showing that 91% Americans questioned didn’t know who John Roberts is? That I think told us more about the pulse of American thinking than these “top ten worst lists.” I said the same thing when Bush was in office so I am not being a hypocrite here. To quote my MySpace blog at the time: “The Presidency is a little more complicated than a movie review. On cannot simply say ‘Thumbs Up’ or ‘Thumbs Down.'”

We need to set a date, and PROTEST- organize and have a “CNN Fox Light” sucks- DAY/Demonstration. It could be coordinated with international liberal contacts against CNN International and make it worldwide. If indeed business in now global, our efforts must go global too.
