AP, Please Define “Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year”

Reading like it was pulled out of Rep. John Boehner's top desk drawer, the AP published a year-end 'analysis' of Obama's 2010. It's quite a piece of work. (i.e. Snowstorms are considered very bad news for the POTUS.)

The lede pretty much captures the GOP-friendly flavor:

Barack Obama's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year got off to a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad start.

Wow, that sounds bad, right?

For a little context though, please note that Obama's approval rating in the daily Gallup track poll today is 49 percent. Exactly one year ago it was 51 percent.

So again AP, can you please define “terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year”?
