Republicans see Obama as more imminent threat than Putin: Reuters/Ipsos poll

[alp227]

Source: Reuters

A third of Republicans believe President Barack Obama poses an imminent threat to the United States, outranking concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

A Reuters/Ipsos online poll this month asked 2,809 Americans to rate how much of a threat a list of countries, organizations and individuals posed to the United States on a scale of 1 to 5, with one being no threat and 5 being an imminent threat.

The poll showed 34 percent of Republicans ranked Obama as an imminent threat, ahead of Putin (25 percent), who has been accused of aggression in the Ukraine, and Assad (23 percent). Western governments have alleged that Assad used chlorine gas and barrel bombs on his own citizens.

1. Western governments have alleged that Assad used chlorine gas and barrel bombs on his own citizens.

We heard similar crap about SAD AM, but it didn't stop rummy from going over to shake his hand and say we were looking the other way, when they needed him.

4. "Imminent threat to America"?? Like, how?

Making health insurance available for ten million people? Getting rid of Osama bin Laden? Reducing the federal deficit?
55 consecutive months of job growth?

Or is just being president while black "an imminent threat to America"?

7. Reuters. Why would would you even spend tens of thousands of dollars asking? What is the point?

You put the President on the same list as terrorists and Enemies of State - interesting choice of questions the corporate pollsters are asking these days.

Chalk up Reuters as just another propaganda tool being bluntly wielded.

11. His black face is an affront to them

Here it is 6 years and 2 Presidential elections later, and they are still having spittle-spewing temper-tantrums. How DARE he exist as the leader of our country.

12. These people are terrified that black people will rise up against them.

13. Yet the real people, not polls, show that the people do not support the Republicans. The Republican

do not support the people, only the few lobbyist and the Israel PM. In Fact the GOP is the real ISIS of this nation.
But the Republicans have never yet debated in the House any support for Pres. Obama on his war against ISIS. They in fact promote ISIS. Why are the people of this nation allowing the GOP to hijack and destroy this nation?

[Major Hogwash]

14. This poll is proof that a third of Republicans are morans!!

And then they wondered why this nation rejected McCain in 2008 and Romney in 2012!!

Idgits!
Low information voters!

15. Idiot Republicans. Deeply racist, misogynistic, and staunchly anti-science and anti-knowledge.

And PROUD of it!
