by Bill“Obama’s Approval In Toilet” blares the headline today on Michael Savage’s Web site.
Savage on his program yesterday made the same claim. (Actually, he’s been saying that for about a year. And he’s been wrong all along.)
But as usual, this holder of a questionable Ph.D., who never misses an opportunity to tell his lap dogs what an educated person he is, fails to provide any context.
Yeah, President Obama’s approval ratings have dropped, according to a Gallup poll. Right now, according to that poll, he’s at 47 percent. But if you click on the link provided on Savage’s Web site, you make a startling discovery: the approval rating of EVERY president since Harry Truman has dropped over the course of their term.
Imagine that!
And take a closer look: You see that at a comparable point in his presidency, Day 430 or so, the Great God Ronald Reagan’s approval rate was worse, 43 percent. And that was from a high of 68 percent, which Obama has yet to achieve.
But details such as these have no interest for the “Great Sage” Michael Savage. The self-proclaimed “National Treasure.” The profligate liar.
And it won’t matter to the mouth-breathers who listen to him and swallow whole everything he says. As I wrote in my book, they play Linda Lovelace to his John Holmes.
And that’s part of the reason we’re in the condition we’re in today.
Keep the faith.
