A majority of Americans and even many Democrats consider President
Obama's tenure to be a "failure," according to a new poll from the
Washington Post and ABC News.
The poll shows Americans say 52-42 that Obama has been more of a
failure than a success. Among registered voters, the gap is even bigger --
at 55-39 -- with four in 10 (41 percent) saying they "strongly" believe Obama has been a failure.

Those saying Obama has been a failure include one in four Democrats (25
percent), nearly three in 10 liberals (29 percent) and the vast, vast
majority of conservative Republicans (92 percent). Nearly one in five
liberals (18 percent) say they feel "strongly" that Obama has been a
failure.


Interestingly, there is also some crossover on the other side. About one in
five conservatives (22 percent) say Obama has been a success (note: this is a different group from "conservative Republicans", as do 48 percent of
moderates. In fact, self-described moderates are more likely to rate
Obama a success (48 percent) than as a failure (44 percent).

Now, we shouldn't read too much into these numbers. The question is a
binary one, in which people are asked to choose between "success" or
"failure," with no third option offered (though people were allowed to
volunteer one). If the question was "failure or not" rather than "failure or
success," you'd likely see fewer people choosing the f-word.
The numbers also track very closely with Obama's overall approval
ratings, which stood at 51-42 disapproval among all Americans and 54-42
disapproval among registered voters. But it's not a perfect correlation, as
12 percent of Americans who approve of Obama say he is a failure, and 8
percent who disapprove of him still say he's been a success.

Regardless, the numbers demonstrate that opposition to Obama's
presidency isn't shallow. The fact that people are willing to use the f-word
as much as they are -- regardless of the alternative -- suggests it's not just about the man and what he's done; it's also about the results he's gotten.
And on the whole, Americans give it a failing grade.

Innervoice, this is just google first page. I'm sure if I look more doggedly I'll some solid analysis of his under-achievements.

Timbuktou:
Americans would beg to differ.

Timbuktou:
Please enlighten me.

Timbuktou:
Obama has been a failure by the way. Maybe someone should have told him he couldn't be so we'd be spared, amongst other things, the attempt at strong-arming Africans nations into accepting homosex. The mumu Obama will still come and claim that women are getting paid less than men for the same job.

Babe, you are reading what you want. I have said I will tell her she can achieve whatever she wants. I'm just stating my own opinion as a guide. She's at liberty to accept or tow whichever path she thinks will favour her. Stereotypes are instructive whether you want to admit so or not. Just because something is a stereotype doesn't make it wrong. Take note.

Timbuktou:
Yes, ma. You are right. No woman has ever wanted to be better or as good as Beethoven or Michael Jackson. No female group has ever given their all to be better than The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. Where are the female Bill Gates, Steve Jobs? Alberta Einsteins nko? Socrata nko? They have all been discriminated against, I guess.

MRBrownJ:
if you think you can solve anything with silent treatment then no wonder your hubby is not faded!

btw why go snooping if you aint going to do anything WORTHY about the dirt you find? you should have just ignore his phone and live stress free!

if you aint willing to FIGHT for your family, then you should have stayed single.

1)i am confused:
At times,i want to be a soldier, somtins a musician, somtins a doctor, somtin a pilot, at times i jst dont want to do anything except driving and enjpoying myself.

2)i am scared:i am Christian and i believe every Christian has a purpose for his or her life, i domt tink i no mine.... So i am scared to do anytin else cos i feel God wont be happy because it might not be what he wants me to do.

3)i am not in a relationship:every human is a relational being but i am scared of talking to ladies....... Somehow...... Someone close to me has killed my confidence.

4)academically i am not sound:i am below average but somhw i find myself in school(university).

When I studied how the world is been controlled, I realized that diseases like Aids and Ebola are just biochemical weapons, communism and terrorism is an agenda and so also feminism.

Ademat7:
It is a common saying that we all have strength and weakness but I think one can still improve on some weakness(I may be wrong though) my greatest challenge has been the way I handle defeat or emotional feelings like fear,un-accomplished goals etc d feeling make every life process in me pause, literally I will b like wilt vegetable leaf and my status will attract attention because pple know me as an extrovert but suddenly introvert guy will b a learner compare to my status. In my personal effort what I do is to over-eat so that I will sleep,sometimes I chat with my female friends am relieved if I do so but I still want to hear your opinion cos sometimes I wonder who I am sef

tollu:
Totally agree with Moca

It all depends on taste. I never dated any one older than me by more than 5 years. And my olorioko bambam sef is within range.
For me, it's likely because of my playful nature, I nor know weda uncle wey senior me with donkey years go fit handle my play play. And guy wey I old pass must be very firm and totally confident cos I'm a first child and a Leo. So used to being a leader, I had to find a balance.

One almost perfect specimen was in my life at a point. His education was pretty fast and when he started earning cool bucks, I was still in 200 level or so. Tall, velvet voice, christian, but I am a couple of months older than him. He looked NOTHING like his age.
Bottom line, I wasn't feeling him though he wanted to wife me asap.
Fast forward to some years later, he asked what the problem was and why I didn't want to be serious with him back then and the easiest thing I could come up with was the age thing (in all honesty, between you people and I, his age wasn't a problem at all. His "something" was unbelievably small, almost like a child's. I couldn't understand why a fine strapping guy like that had a kini that couldn't belleful me and his dress sense left a lot to be desired, we just didn't gel sha) and then he said his wife is actually 3 years older than him.

So ladies do younger men well well, apart from the previous example, I am friends with another couple with a similar set up of older wife. Then one of my good friends has like 20sth years between her and her man. Omo, we no even fit hang out as couples. To greet the man na with both my knees dey approach ground subconsciously. She loves it that way though and she never dated a guy within her age range na agbalagbis she prefer from day one.

Taste is everything.

EroticAngelina:
Most men are jxfucktards who think with their dickks instead of their brains. All they ask for is sex sex! dats how one ugly black goat added me on facebook and starting sendinge dirty pics of his toothpick dickk, see how i use insult finish the goat, next tym he sees a lady, he will pick race, useless Buffalo. Only foolish women fall for them.


That's why my number one internet life rule is 'never ever date a guy u meet online' and never exchange contacts with him. shikina.

nuff said.

all4naija:
I said, it is called polyandry!

all4naija:
It is called polyandry!

KanwuliaJara:
Not the norm!
Like I stated earlier, this is the era of BABY MAMMAS and DADDAS!
That na UNTO OLD SCHOOL!

Tufiakwa!

cococandy:
That's entirely subject for a different debate. Are polygamous families as bonded as nuclear ones? Long arduous debate.

I was making coconut candy when I was creating this account. Figures.

KanwuliaJara:
Please, give me KNOWN examples.

Please, don't mention Cheif E.K. Clark of IJAW LAND!!!

Muchechecheche

cococandy:
Well what they consider themselves capable of and what they are actually capable of are two very different things aren't they?

Some women probably also think they can but they don't. Maybe we make better choices because we've been unofficially mandated to be the family keepers.

BTW I like your username "innervoice"
Na these kind names I dey hear I begin to wonder what I was thinking when I chose something else.

Abi I was high on food aroma or something.

KanwuliaJara:
If you can pack a harem of WOMEN or MEN, they gat to be the "wretched" ones you gat to feed!

armyofone:
Your husband is the problem. He is just pretending to you....if he really can't challenge his mother, then he is the bone to pick. I think he is just looking for a way to sample some opeke out there. Don't fall for his my mama said
Tell him your parents want a male child too so you both have ultimatum to enjoy equally.

BoboYekini:
@post, you know this is DOA. African women abhor the thought of being responsible for even themselves, least of all kept men.
Or did you mean 'Ladies, Would You Like To Get in an affair with More Than One Man?). I'd say that more up their alley.

KanwuliaJara:
Even one sef, I nor want!
Shiooooor!
Nor be me go feed all their "broke" azzzzes?

cococandy:
Of course.

That's always been my stand since ages past.

LadyFiona:
I have a need to separate my lover, my money bank, my ceremonial figurehead and my co household partner.

To lazy to type an epistle, about to hit the sack.
