Obviously, the people appreciate the fine job Clinton did while in office and have nothing but utter disdain for the crapfest perpetrated by Dubya.
Obama, meanwhile, has an approval rating of 53%.

I like how you linked to a site that has numerous polls on it, but you only listed the one that had the highest approval rating for Obama.
Rasmussen only has him at 45%. Quinnipiac U. (private school in CT) poll has him at 42%. I'm guessing you will say that's a right wing poll.
I would say that Quinnipiac would be an outlier. Anything that goes significant counter to the majority of polls has to be suspect. If I found a poll that had him at 65% while the others had him at 50%, it would be an outlier as well.
Rasmussen is consistently an outlier. I've seen them as much as 10-15% off from the other polls.
The one you referenced was the only score above 51. That makes it an outlier.
The #'s from recent (March) polls at the site you linked were 51, 49, 53, 51, 49, 51, 49, 49, 51, and 42, plus Rasmussen's 45. If you want to throw out the TWO lowest from that group, you have to at least throw out the single highest. Average all the polls together and you get 49%.
Rasmussen has been very accurate over the past few elections.

There's no reason to define a term that's already been defined. Only stupid f'n idiots with degrees in Sociology think they can fabricate new definitions for terms that have been around for years. The definition is there and my challenge still stands. Name one tenet of Marxism you disagree with.
...waiting...
Yep, Marx defined Marxism a long time ago. I'm just waiting to see if you understand how he defined it.
....been waiting even longer......
It's already been defined and is all over the f'n internet. What you want me to do is try to redefine it. I'm not a failed "Sociologist" like you. I don't do that. I accept the definition as it stands.
I know it's all over the internet. Based on how many times you've misused the term, I'd like to see if you can find the definition and post it.
Probably not. You fail at most things.
