Taxpayer Funded Obama Tour Bust: Obama's Approval Rating at 39%

How dumb does Obama and his Administration think the average American in flyover country is not to recognize this for what it is -- a campaign tour.  President's running for office ONLY get on buses to tour around the Countryside when they are campaigning or touting their State of the Union agenda which to most of us has always been political -- give a speech and then go out selling your speech.  This boondoggle on the Canadian bus was on the taxpayer's nickle instead of picked up by his campaign.  Maybe if Obama stayed in the White House more the deficit wouldn't be so large.

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama’s politically charged but taxpayer funded bus tour through the Midwest turned into a bust yesterday with his approval rating dropping back to its all-time low of 39 percent in the Gallup poll. 

Obama’s approval in the Gallup poll had first dropped into the 30s three days ago, hitting 39 percent just as he began his bus tour. Then it rose to 41 percent two days ago, before dropping back to its all-time low of 39 yesterday. 

Tuesday’s bus tour was highlighted by Obama’s verbal encounter with Tea Party activist Ryan Rhodes at a townhall meeting in Decorah, Iowa. Rhodes wanted the president to tell him why Vice President Joe Biden had likened Tea Party activists to terrorists while the president was touting civility. 

Obama ultimately ended the conversation--which was highlighted by Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin on their radio shows, and by Sean Hannity of Fox News--by saying: “It doesn't sound like you're interested in listening.”

If it wasn't for sites like Conservative News Service, Hot Air, Red State, Lucianne.com, and others, articles like this would never see the light of day from the mainstream media (MSM).  If it is not an article the MSM can put a positive spin on for Obama, it doesn't see the light of day.  When these so called reporters were in Journalism School, they obviously missed the Ethics part.
