ONE-LINER 0002 - President's approval rate

The media keep shouting how low is the acceptance level of the President Obama.  New polls bring constantly decreasing numbers.  CNN, until recently were trying to convey the message that the approval rating is the worst since the WWII (although in fact the Bush Junior had this ‘privilege’).

I talked to many Democrats, who complain, how disappointing is what President Obama does, and how disappointing is that President Obama hasn’t delivered so many things, promised during the election campaign…  The list of broken promises is long, starting from Guantanamo…

Republicans triumph quoting the polls numbers – manipulating the nation.

At this point I would like to look into this disappointing acceptance levels.  During the last decades the access to the information in our society has increased a lot.  The media thriving on sensations, feeds us the manipulated and one-faceted pulp, having little to do wit the ‘objective truth’ (if is exists at all).

I am a Liberal, and as many on my side of the isle have been critical of many aspects of the President Obama’s politics.  However, I am aware, and I never forget the achievements of his presidency, without which many millions of the US Citizens would have much gloomier outlook on theirs lives.

We - people on the Democratic side of the isle, have to remind ourselves and others, of these achievements, in order not to loose the general picture of the current Presidency.

Let’s start form the fact that the millions of people have their ‘preexisting conditions’ covered by the Health Insurance - the fact which used to put many under the poverty level if they suffered form some lasting medical conditions.
Let’s not forget about the push toward the ‘equal pay for equal work’ reducing the gender pay gap.
Let’s not forget about the push toward equal treatment of all people regardless of the sexual orientation, and letting all the people marry the people they love regardless of the gender (same sex marriages).  
Let’s not forget about not letting shutting down the research on stem cells - but encouraging it.
Let’s not forget about the daily struggle for the budget, for the welfare of the underprivileged, for the new jobs and the unemployment benefits…

The Democrats have to remember all good things the current President pushed and forced to implement despite the strong opposition in the Republican Congress…

When you take under consideration all the facts, and the principle we all stand in general we all approve the work done by the President Obama.  We can criticize his decisions, but in the general polls we should never ‘disapprove’ his actions, fueling the Republicans’ agenda.  
The way the questions of the polls are constructed never give any options to explain why one partially disapprove  with the Government policy.  It’s either YES, or NO.  
And in my opinion - maybe he doesn’t pass our scrutiny with the flying colors - we strongly AGREE with the direction we are going, especially considering the alternative proposed by the Tea Party backers.

I approve what The President Obama does (in general) - and 'disapprove' what he fails to do...

And lastly… it’s really baffling to me how anybody who earns less than 250 $K/year can actually consider backing the demands of the Tea Party (or Republican Party in general).  I never thought that such a huge percentage of the US population might have the ‘Helsinki Syndrome’…

So, Democrats - look at the big picture, not at the particular shortcomings, and - if you agree with the general direction (think about the alternatives), and if you agree with what has been achieved - say YES in the current President’s approval polls.  
Otherwise you may have much more to complain about in a shot future, when the Republicans take over the Senate, as a result of the Nation being mislead by a the manipulated polls.  Do not dismiss the polls influence on the minds of the people, on the minds of the voters.
Do not send a wrong message.
