Poll Shows Obama is Worst President since World War II

WASHINGTON (VR) – President Barack Obama topped the list with 33 percent of vote. President George W. Bush came in at a close second with 28 percent of the vote, and President Richard Nixon third with 13 percent.


The poll, by Connecticut's Quinnipiac University, ranks the best and the worst presidents over the last about 70 years. Tim Malloy, Assistant Director of the Quinnipiac University Poll said out of the 12 presidents that held office during that time, "President Obama finds himself at the bottom of the barrel with George W. Bush, in a virtual tie. They are really wallowing in the popularity lowlands."

However, he pointed out, it’s important to keep the data in perspective. "Polling is like a snapshot in time. Keeping in mind these are the two most recent Presidents, the least popular. Their legacies and polices are living with us right now and are more top of mind, and so they're more vulnerable to criticism. The other way too look at it is they're just deeply unpopular."

Malloy also said another theory has to do with the “modern day” media. “There are blogs, and everyone has an opinion. It might be that people are tougher on politicians than they used to be."

One of the areas that took a major hit for Obama in the poll was foreign policy. ”That’s significant because it was the one good card he had in his deck. He's lost 10 percentage points in the last six months...and the President is now involved in a very dangerous and volatile period in the world."

When it comes to best Presidents, Ronald Reagan topped the list with thirty-five percent of the votes. "66 percent of Republicans say Reagan was the best President, and he did very well with independents and 8 percent of Democrats believe that."

Malloy added, "Reagan reached across the aisle to a lot of people. A lot of people look at him as more than a President, more than a historic figure and maybe that's why he did so well."

Bill Clinton came in a distant second garnering 18 percent support, and John F. Kennedy followed at 13 percent. Just 8 percent chose President Obama.

Malloy said even though the approval ratings for Obama are low, he doesn’t think it’s a hopeless situation. "I don't know that this tells the President something he doesn't already know. It's important to point out that his approval ratings in the last month have gone up a little bit. Yes he got clobbered, but certain things are not bad and moving up a bit. So it’s not a devastating assessment if you look at the entire survey."

According to Malloy, there was one part of the survey that stood out to him. "Hindsight is being very kind to Mitt Romney. We asked Americans if the country would be better off had he been elected rather than Barack Obama. 45 percent of respondents said yes and 38 percent said no."

"If Mitt Romney were running for President, it would probably be encouraging news for him."

@ Yaiqab Saint
Again Outside the bible Solomon and King David. does not exist there's no evidence either one of them ever historically existed
There's a good chance you will not get reference of this name (ALKEBULAN) from the Egyptian papyrus because according to Historian Egypt was and still is the baby of Ethiopia and Ethiopia is not the original name

@Sylvainy

This line that people don' exist is getting old and worn-out.

Primarily the Egyptology Kemet people run this line.

I will state this once and that's it, Hebrew Israelites are forbidden to create "graven images", no statutes, no hidden treasures, etc, because they believed in regeneration.

So they did not waste their time burying treasures for a future people to dig up and steal!

However in all fairness please stay up with the latest archeological evidence that is showing up in the Land of Israel and modern day Iraq.

I find it strange why you cannot answer the question of whom is a father or mother of the Kemet people before Ham/Cham. Because all of Egypt's pictorial languages, literature, and polytheist religion was stolen from Sumeria and mainly Kush's son Nimrod?

Now Mirzaim (EGYPT) was the son of whom since you don't believe in Ham/CHAM????? or Noah.

Did Mirzaim exist or not since their has been claim of Mitsrayim dating back to 10,000 years this should be easy to answer, hmm.

I want to know the fathers and mothers names of the Pre-Dynastic Period of Egypt by a so-called Black Africans???

We know that Kush/Cush existed and he represented the nations of ancient Ethiopia/Sudan-Nubia or perhaps not?

Because if he did not exist then Mizraim (Land of Egypt) or Nimrod (Babylon) did not exist.

History and records have shown us that Kush was born in Ancient Ethiopia and died in Sumeria (Ancient Iraq) and his son Nimrod ruled that land and is widely published in the annuals of history.

He was referred too as the "Father of Mathematics", did he exist, hmmm.????????

Every time I ask a Kemet follower that silence suddenly appears??????

Why because the so-called white historians or archeologists did not record it in book?

Are you not from Africa talk to me?


Ohh.. here is some archeological proof if you want it and you know the science is not exact as well, RIGHT???


MADISON WI (ANS) -- A dearth of archaeological remains in Jerusalem, traceable to the time of David and Solomon, has raised questions about the importance of these Biblical kings. But a Mississippi State University archaeologist says those critics who base their arguments on the absence of evidence sometimes jump too quickly to their conclusions.

Speaking to the Madison Biblical Archaeology Society meeting in Madison, WIsconsin, on Sunday afternoon, professor James Hardin said, "I would be very hesitant to say that because of things we haven't found in Jerusalem that the kingdom of David and Solomon didn't exist."

Some Bible scholars have made such arguments. The tenth century B.C., the time of David and Solomon in the Biblical chronology, is currently a contentious period among archaeologists and Bible scholars. The main reason is that the types of archaeological remains attributed to this period at other archaeological sites in Israel are not as easily found in Jerusalem.

Even so, there are some archaeologists who do report digging up evidence of 10th century construction attributed to David and Solomon. In fact Israeli archaeologist Eilat Mazar, announced this week that she has identified some towers and wall sections near the southern steps of the Temple Mount (the Ophel area) with the reign of King Solomon. Time will tell whether or not other archaeologists will accept her dating for these remains.

Pointing out that Jerusalem is not a typical tell, with multiple layers accumulated over centuries like other sites, Hardin said, "It may be that the archaeological evidence is there, it's just not there in the same way as other sites, such as Megiddo or Hazor."

Hardin pointed to chalcolithic (stone age) remains found in another of Mazar's excavation in Jerusalem, separated by inches from a tenth century level. In a typical tell there would be a larger separation between the remains of those two eras. "The bedrock is very high in this area of Jerusalem," he explained.

In addition to limited evidence from Jerusalem of the Iron Age II period (the tenth century B.C.), Hardin pointed out that there are also few remains that have been found from the late Bronze Age (fourteenth century B.C.) in Jerusalem. Yet letters written by the king of Jerusalem to the Pharaoh of Egypt in the fourteenth century have been found among the Amarna tablets, discovered in Egypt in the 1880's.

"It's a good idea to question assumptions," Hardin said, in reference to the scholars who raised questions about David and Solomon. "But scholars need an open mind, because a lot of times you'll find what you're looking for if you're not careful."

I'm also surprised that you reference a name attributable to Africa from Hebrew descendants

@Sylvainy:

I have another question did the Queen of Sheba (Ancient Ethiopia) "EXIST" or was that a fable too ??????

Here's another archeological update concerning King Solomon !

More Proof of King Solomon’s Mines

September 23, 2013 • From theTrumpet.com

Further evidence of Solomon’s mines (and empire) has surfaced.

By Anthony Chibarirwe

Recently unearthed remains of hundreds of copper smelting furnaces and metallic ore residue in Timna Valley of the Arava Desert in Israel provide further scientific evidence of prolific mining activity during the time of King Solomon. The site of the copper mines is known as Slaves’ Hill, and it was excavated by Dr. Ben-Yosef and his team of Tel Aviv University archaeologists, who began work at the site in February.

The evidence from Ben-Yosef’s findings confirms the Bible’s assertions of the wealth and clout of the kingdom of Israel under Solomon.

As is the case with most archaeological findings that confirm the biblical record, the Timna Valley excavations—in the words of a Phys.org article titled “Proof of Solomon’s Mines Found in Israel”—“overturn the archaeological consensus of the last several decades.” (Such archaeological consensus tends to seek to undermine the Bible.)

The mining site was initially argued to have been built by ancient Egyptians three centuries before Solomon’s reign. Archaeologists arrived at this erroneous assertion because of the discovery of an Egyptian temple at the center of the valley in 1969. But tangible evidence from the excavations such as ceramics, clothing, fabrics, ropes and foods like dates, grapes and pistachios were dated at University of Oxford’s radiocarbon accelerator unit to King Solomon’s era in the 10th century b.c.

“The findings at the Slaves’ Hill undermine criticisms of the Bible’s historicity based on a lack of archaeological evidence,” said Dr. Ben-Yosef. “It’s entirely possible that David and Solomon existed and even that they exerted some control over the mines in the Timna Valley at times.”

In 2009, Ben-Yosef worked under Prof. Thomas E. Levy of the University of California-San Diego, who uncovered massive mines that he concluded to be remnants of King Solomon’s mines. Trumpet columnist Robert Morley wrote about that stunning discovery in 2009 and how it flew in the face of Bible scoffers: “As [prominent archaeologist] Dr. Eilat Mazar once said, ‘In the end, the stones will speak for themselves.’ The stones are speaking for themselves! … The detailed accuracy of the Bible is continually being proven correct—word by word, stone by stone, day by day.”

The Bible is a true historical record, and archaeological relics are endorsing it. For more, read Mr. Morley’s article “King Solomon’s Mines—Found!” ▪

@ Yaiqab Saint



You are still grasping at straws,,,, Ok Yaiqab Saint no one in the bible ever historically existed outside of the bible please show me some archeological evidence a grave site a tomb



Again Yaiqab Saint Israel does not exist it came about because of


Genesis 32 24: 30

24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved

Yaiqab Saint Again God change Jacob's name to Israel prior to the name change Israel did not exist

Don't find it strange I'm willing to learn if I don't know or even change my position but As stated before I do not know who are the father or mother of the Kemet people before Ham/Cham if they ever existed please tell me who are they????

they tried to manufacture archeological evidence in the Land of Israel that they found the tomb of Jesus / jesus brother it FAILED

Yaiqab Saint Kush/Cush is present day Ethiopia and Egypt is the baby of Ethiopia does it hurt you that much to accept Black Africans were and still are Egyptians Ethiopias wirh a rich history

ok Yaiqab Saint and the father of Mathematics Kush was what??? dont't tell me i'll guess an Israelite right????

And the greeks would like us believe Hippocratace was the father of Medicine as if

Imhoten (Egyptians) The true Father of medicen never existed right Yaiqab Saint

@ Yaiqab Saint
I thought better of you all of that is to validated some people who does not exist outside the bible "The Bible is a true historical record, and archaeological " Really Yaiqab Saint??????

Yaiqab Saint Sunday, July 6th 2014 at 10:45PM

I prove my point again.

The Kemet followers cannot substantiate their own existence without a so-called whiteman's book or document ???????

Well if you looking for a tomb or something. Why don't you go dig up your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather's tomb to point to your existence.

I suggest that you get deep into history and you will find that the Hamitic Egyptians were nobody's.

They did not invent advanced technology, they acquired it from the Ancient Sumerians.

And since no Kemet follower can give me a name of a father or mother beyond Mirzaim well the case is closed in my book.

And it proves that the so-called Egyptians did not date beyond the Flood perhaps or not in the Pre-Dynastic period, maybe ????????????????/

I tell some of the "Egyptian Kemet" followers there is ancient history documented beyond the so-called white man and you need to dig further.

Your statement suggest that perhaps the Egyptian Kemet people existed by faith??????? which you charge against Christian and Muslims.

No evidence outside of the Bible

No evidence outside of the Papyrus, The Book of The Dead, The Pyramid Texts, The stupid statues and images in the Egyptian desert, etc. etc......

I'm still waiting for someone to show me a Sudanese historians or South Egyptian Alekebulan to show me proof other than the so-called white man.

It's high time you mute your criticism of who existed or not.

Yes you are a follower because you did not do diligence in your historic research!

Another historic fact about Medicine Sylvainy:

By examining the surviving medical tablets it is clear that there were two distinct types of professional medical practitioners in ancient Mesopotamia. The first type of practitioner was the ashipu, in older accounts of Mesopotamian medicine often called a "sorcerer." One of the most important roles of the ashipu was to diagnose the ailment. In the case of internal diseases, this most often meant that the ashipu determined which god or demon was causing the illness. The ashipu also attempted to determine if the disease was the result of some error or sin on the part of the patient. The phrase, "the Hand of..." was used to indicate the divine entity responsible for the ailment in question, who could then be propitiated by the patient. The ashipu could also attempt to cure the patient by means of charms and spells that were designed to entice away or drive out the spirit causing the disease. The ashipu could also refer the patient to a different type of healer called an asu. He was a specialist in herbal remedies, and in older treatments of Mesopotamian medicine was frequently called "physician" because he dealt in what were often classifiable as empirical applications of medication. For example, when treating wounds the asu generally relied on three fundamental techniques: washing, bandaging, and making plasters. All three of these techniques of the asu appear in the world's oldest known medical document (c. 2100 BCE).

Whether or not ancient Mesopotamian medicine passed on a legacy that ultimately influenced the doctors of subsequent civilizations is a question that will never be complete answered. While many of the basic tenants of medicine, such as bandaging and the collection of medical texts, began in Mesopotamia, other cultures may have developed these practices independently. Even in Mesopotamia itself, many of the ancient techniques became extinct after surviving for thousands of years. It was Egyptian medicine that seems to have had the most influence on the later development of medicine, through the medium of the Greeks.

Sylvainy:

Have a good night!

Your information is flawed by belief that Ancient Egypt was the best, trust me that assumption is far removed from ancient historic evidence.

Now since they did not invent their polytheist religion adopted by Sumerians, did not invent medicine, did not event metallurgy, cuneiform writings, advanced literature, advanced mathematics, astrology, advanced arms product, advanced shipping, and or the first pyramid ( Ethiopia or Nubia) has more pyramids than Egypt and older than the former.


They adopted their civilization's advancement from another Ancient civilization on the Asian Continent, RIGHT?

@ Yaiqab Saint
Imhoten (Egyptians) The true Father of medicen died 2500 years before the birth of Hippocratace and it is well known that Hippocratace went to Egypt to study medicen acording to the God Escapolis which is Imhoten , And please note Imhoten mother and sister were also Dr, but you cant accept Egyptians / Black African can do and still do great things
@ Yaiqab Saint stop trying to rob steel the Egyptians / Black African of their history thou shall not steal,,,,,,,, Thats one of Moses who DID NOT EXIST Law right????? NO,,,, it is not , its one of the 42 laws of MAAT
Black African / Egyptians apart of the Negative Confession which was stolen in order to create a people that did not exist at the time MAN KNOW THY-SELF
