Last I checked Obama's approval rating was in the 50's...you know, like W's IQ...
...Notre Dame $120 million dollars!
Gifts to Notre Dame plunged $120M during year of Obama’s appearance
He may actually reach George W. Bush's approval rating lows in record time. It took nearly 8 years of a relentless liberal machine to bring W's down. Obama is pretty much doing this all on his own. Quite an achievement.

Harris Interactive has him at 37%

Yonivore is a liar.
PWNED by your own link, .

I'm sure you consider that an unbiased news source.
Dumbass.
I'll take Harris over Newsweek.
Private Giving to Colleges Dropped Sharply in 2009PWNED by your own link, .
Notre Dame's 50% cut in donations is a bit steeper than the average of 11.9%, wouldn't you say?With a battered economy and volatile financial markets taking their tolls on donors' pocketbooks, private giving to American colleges dropped sharply in 2009, according to findings of the annual Voluntary Support of Education survey, which were released on Wednesday. Donations were down $3.75-billion from the previous year—a decline of 11.9 percent, the steepest in the survey's 50-year history.
Maybe it wasn't just the economy.
There are obviously more variables to be considered. Implying Obama cost Notre Dame $120M is just ludicrous. Besides, it's not like he forced himself there. He was invited and accepted. Blame Notre Dame.

Obviously, many of their donors did.
Oh, and here's a math lesson for you. $347M to $226M is not a 50% drop, try less than 35%.
lol so much ownage this thread.
Read the story.
Remove the static grant and do the math, it's an over 41% reduction in private donations.During the July 2008 - June 2009 fiscal year, gifts to the university totaled $226,689,374, including $60,133,035 in government grants. During the July 2007 - June 2008 fiscal year, in contrast, gifts totaled $347,155,514, including $62,241,121 in government grants. Thus most of the decline in contributions consisted in a decline in private donations rather than a drop in government funding.
You said it.
Yes, Yoni pwned himself by proving he can't do math.
Considering Obama and his war chest aren't on TV all the time telling us about the bloodthirsty killers waiting to attack us for how we live, it doesn't surprise me the Sheeple focus all their fears on Obama rather than the boogeymen in the middle east. It took 8 years of the truth coming to light that hurt W's legacy, not some liberal smear machine.
lol these donations are load of horse , when was the last time u hear universities passing on savings to students on fees? or how every year it seems like fees are increasing faster then CPI.....
fkn education system is the biggest money pyramid scheme to the tax payers...
charitable giving is DOWN EVERYWHERE, has been for 2-3 years, and will continue to be down.
The only sector with excess cash is the finance sector, and they're greedy bas s.
As always, Yoni/right-wing "attacks" are always bad-faith distortions, slander, lies, not good-faith honest, constructive criticisms.
What I learned in this thread - 41% = 50%
I would not say, because not only can I do math, I can read and I have a calandar.
Sorry, Charlie. (at the risk of dating my old ass)
Chalk up more mathfail. Or maybe readingfail. or calandarfail. Please select which fail you think that was.
Not surprising... Muslims hate Catholics, especially in Kenya.
To really, truly compare the % drops you would have to get either the same fiscal year, or get month to month data.
You are highly unlikely to find either, although you could probably massage the 2007-2009 annual data and make some reasonable assumptions to sort of get close, but even then it would be something of a tenous kluge.

Total decline of DJIA over that period from beginng of period to end:
-26%
Total difference from high to low during that period:

That was pretty much THE height of the financial crisis.
Given that the majority of catholics in this country vote Democratic, is it more probable that it was the financial crisis or Obama's visit?
