Ticket pic of the week: Did Gallup poll her about Obama?

President Obama's favorable ratings may have reached a new low, according to a new Gallup Poll not long ago, while his disapproval ratings tied his all-time high at 50%.

But apparently he still has a favorable T-shirt rating in the Ivory Coast, where this woman was working the other day.

The American president has taken to issuing frequent warnings to other country's leaders in recent months in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Bahrain and, most recently, here in Ivory Coast.

LATimes is the laughing-stock of online newspapers. This blog's constant disrespect of the President knows no bounds. The woman above expresses support for the United States of America's President. Are you trying to make her a laughing-stock because she lives in Africa? Why is this funny to you?
This photo says more about the LAT than he does for common human decency.

The Rasmussen Report shows that 24% of the nation's voters approve Obama. but thirty-nine percent (39%) strongly disapprove, giving him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15

People like her, in the Ivory Coast, are probably expecting some form of handout from Obama. In return, Obama is hoping to get unlawful campaign funds and votes from these poor people. Power, anyway he can get it and keep it.

This was a stupid and uninformed comment on what has been happening in Cote d'Ivoire. Enthusiasm for Obama is very high there. I was there the night he won the election. The fact that a woman is wearing an Obama T-shirt says nothing except that she is probably very poor and very proud of Obama. Your comment about Obama issuing statementds t leaders of various African states (all dictators who repress the people, by the way) don't mention that the statement he issued to the then "president" of Cote d'Ivoire was issued to a man who delayed elections for five years after his term ended, and then refused to accept the fact that he lost. The fairness of the election was certified by a large number of international observers and organizations. And to anyone who thinks that the people of Cote d'Ivoire are expecting a handout (Michael ?), you are dead wrong. I've been there several times recently. I know.
