Obama's 47 Percent Approval Lowest of Any President at This Point

[derspiess]

It's enormously funny when Republicans play the victim. 

How am I doing that?

Oh, the blacks they hate us!  Sob!  Sob!

I don't much care if I'm hated or not.

You have to be if not than that would mean that Obama's numbers are about the job he has done. People don't want to open that closet.

So you stoicly play the victim.  It's still playing the victim.

Really?  Well, it might not technically be incorrect, but it just sounds horrible to me.

Pretty sure that's not correct, but I can see a book having that if a character speaks in that dialect.

That is incorrect.  It was a throwaway comment in any case, Obamabot.

Really, there seems to be alot of playing the victim amongst the GOPtards these days.

Perhaps, but Spiess wasn't doing so in this instance.

Demotards love to portray Republicans as whiners.  In fact, that whine about Republicans is all one seems to hear from the Demotards these days.

This may be so but I do think there's a strain within the Republican party that does perceive itself as a victim.  There is a section, I think represented by Sarah Palin (who poses as the Maid of Orleans), that seems more interested in an attitude of cultural grievance and victimisation than in politics - you hear it when the subject of elites comes up.

Which is sad.  I still think she could have been an intensely persuasive candidate.

Agreed that some of the Republitards are like the Demotards, and more interested in playing to the emotions than to logic, and agree that Palin is no more intellectually honest than, say, Raz.  Disagree that she would be persuasive absent her schtick.  There just isn't any "there" there.

Obama is the only President at this point; thus his approval ratings are both the highest and the lowest of any President at this point.

Did the French rewrite their constitution recently?

Only if you define "victimhood" down to mean any sort of complaining whatsoever. 

There are *some* on the right who are trying to claim "victim" status.  As annoying as it is, it's almost hard for me to blame them for trying it when it has been used so effectively by certain elements of the left.

Of course not.
