For all the presidents in the modern era with approval ratings under 40% and disapproval above 55%, that did not win the popular vote, and never had a lick of political experience, or skills at managing a company where there were others to which he has to answer, and. . . .

I keep hearing the Reich wing bleating about the "fact" from Ratsmussen that Dear Leader's African-American support is at 36 percent!?
