Midknight Review -- new and revised: Obama's conflicting approval numbers -- what do they mean?

From Rasmussen, we have this news about Obama's ratings with regard to his terror policy:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 53% now give the president good or excellent marks on his handling of national security issues. That’s up from 39% last week and is the highest positive assessment measured since May 2009. Twenty-one percent (21%) still think the president is doing a poor job in this area, but that's down from 36% last week and the lowest poor rating of his presidency. end of quote.

If you are an Obama Freak, you have a smile on your face, right about now. Here is the problem. His overall job approval went up just 2 points (from 49% to 51%) at the same time his anti-terrorist rating rose 14%. Big, big difference.

What does this mean? Well, for starters, Obama is not going to win re-election based on his "war against terror." We, the people, expect him to be on top of the terror threat. George Bush was. Now, it is Obama's turn. And, we know for a fact that had it not been for good luck, the Christmas Day bomber would have blown up a plane and killed nearly 300 Americans and the New York City bomber, some months later, would have killed many more. The bombs did not go off and we were saved the pain of two successful terrorist attacks at no credit to the Obama Administration . . . . . none what so ever.

No, the popularity bounce will pass and we will be faced, once again, with the incompetence of a national "administrator" who has no clue and refuses to admit it. Good for him. We likie !!! It means the end of his political career . . . . . . . . . at least, that is our hope.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Quote from GW Bush on Bin Laden:

"I don't know where he ois... I'm truly not that concerned about him..."

Bush FAILED to get Bin Laden even though he stood at the ruins of 9/11 and pledged to America that he would. 8 years of failure.

Obama pledged to get Bin Laden and did, in 2 years.

Game over.

Four more years.

YOU LOSE AGAIN.
