Obama's 12th quarter "the lowest Gallup has measured"

 

PRINCETON, NJ -- President Barack Obama averaged 44% job approval for his third full year in office, which ended Jan. 19... down slightly from his second-year average of 47% and much lower than his first-year average of 57% ....

 

 

Despite the improvement

in Obama's rating in the 12^th quarter,

it ranks as the lowest Gallup has measured

in the comparable quarter for all elected presidents.

 

 

Must be because he doesn't party with the press:

"My suspicion is that this whole critique has to do with the fact that I don’t go to a lot of Washington parties. And as a consequence, the Washington press corps maybe just doesn’t feel like I’m in the mix enough with them, and they figure, well, if I’m not spending time with them, I must be cold and aloof.The fact is, I’ve got a 13-year-old and 10-year-old daughter.”

 

So now Obama's hit a new low - in more ways than one. Now he's blaming his problems on his kids!  But at least he's stopped blaming Bush, Congress and the Republicans. (Ya think?)

I thought Freud settled this decades ago when he reminded us that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Well ... sometimes people are called cold and aloof just because they are. No further analysis needed.
