Americans: How much do you approve of the Obama administration?

[Doubting Thomas]

...the IRS targeting of certain groups

Obama had absolutely nothing to do with the IRS scrutiny of conservative Tea Party groups, and in fact it was a conservative IRS manager who decided to look into the tax exempt status of those groups. It should also be pointed out that not one of them had their tax exempt status revoked.

[Minimalist]

The IRS unit in question is supposed to make a determination that tax exempt status is not granted to political entities...exactly like those tea bagging shitwits who were applying for it. Further, the evidence shows that they were equally evaluating Occupy Wall Street groups on the other side of the ledger.

Obama has been something of a disappointment. Still, when confronted with the possibility of a President McCain or Romney, he gets a passing grade. It his assuredly not his fault that he is faced with a bunch of racist, nazi, bastards obstructing his every move and sacrificing the good of the country in favor of their rich cocksucker business friends. It is his fault that he continues to try to work with them instead of denouncing them.

I don't follow politics as closely as I should, but even I am alarmed by the continuous dialing back of freedoms for the sake of security. Its things like this that make me realize why I voted myself for president in '08 and '12.

[CleanShavenJesus]

I voted neutral, because the pros and cons of his administration have cancelled each other out in my eyes. I really don't have enough time nor do I care to write everything out, so I'll just leave it at that.

[My imaginary friend is GOD]

I like him, but mostly because he's sexy and he's done a lot for gay rights. I don't really approve of the drone strikes and not shutting down gitmo, but I don't really expect much change from politician to politician, so I focus on the surprising positives.

[DeistPaladin]

Neutral. He's a great disappointment but he's done a few good things as well.

Benghazi

Can you help me out here. I'm actually trying to understand at this point rather than argue.

What is the Benghazi scandal?

To facilitate a helpful answer, please complete the following sentence:

"Obama [ circle one: should / shouldn't ] have __________ !"

Thanks in advance.

Did you win?

"Obama [ circle one: should / shouldn't ] have __________ !"

Should have slipped into his Captain America suit and flown over to blow those towel-heads back to the Dark Ages...which for them was about two weeks earlier.

Notice how much they republicunts whine about "4 dead Americans" in Benghazi but conveniently forget the 6,000 who died for nothing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both McSame and Romney wanted to continue those two useless blood baths. If anything, Obama didn't end them soon enough.

BTW, we did such a great job in Iraq!

While the violence is below the levels of the peak of the insurgency in 2006 and 2007, when the country moved to the brink of civil war, bombings remain common. As many as 700 people are believed to have been killed this month.

[Doubting Thomas]

I'm kind of neutral toward Obama, but I have to give him enormous credit for totally pissing off the right wing for the past 4 1/2 years. And he even inspired his own conspiracy theory. I know that 9/11 is blamed on G.W. Bush, but it would have been blamed upon whoever was in office at the time. The birthers wouldn't have been demanding to see John McCain's birth certificate. So not only are we entertained with the right wing going apeshit, we also have conspiracy theorists (probably all of them also conservatives) going apeshit. In short, he's really brought the crazy out of conservative America.

[DeistPaladin]

Notice how much they republicunts whine about "4 dead Americans" in Benghazi but conveniently forget the 6,000 who died for nothing in Iraq and Afghanistan.

...or the 3-4 thousand Americans who died on 9/11 after W Bush ignored one warning sign after the next and then, following our worst national security debacle in history, promoted the National Security Adviser to Secretary of State. Personal responsibility everyone!

...or the approximately 30 Americans who died during several US embassy bombings during the W Bush administration.

But maybe there's an actual scandal here. I'll wait to hear what it is.
