Someone must be shot for this!
Barack Obama sees worst poll rating drop in 50 years
The decline in Barack Obama’s popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53 per cent for Mr Obama for the third quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the 62 per cent he recorded from April. His current approval rating – hovering just above the level that would make re-election an uphill struggle – is close to the bottom for newly-elected president. Mr Obama entered the White House with a soaring 78 per cent approval rating.
Bring out The Usual Suspects!
You see, it could never be the result of actual Demorat politics or policies or proposals or bills; golly-gosh no!
Here’s what I think — and you just go ahead and call me wacky. I think some tactics are backfiring on Our Hero and his minions.
People are beginning to visualize that something just might be amiss with Our Hero, The Anointed One. They are beginning to sense that there may be little congruency between what He promised and what he’s (little “h”) delivering. Consternation not just with Conservatives; oh no. Much discontent piling up on the Left with his insufficiently Leftist plans and results. Mr Obama — if you can grasp this fetid little concept — is insufficiently left for the Left.
Gadzooks!
Dick Cheney didn’t help matters this past Wednesday when he said that — gulp! — Our Hero’s Afghan war strategy seems to bear a striking resemblance to that of former President Bush! Perish the thought!
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that the Bush administration had developed a new strategy on the war in Afghanistan before leaving office — a strategy that he said “bears a striking resemblance” to the one announced by President Obama in March.
“The White House must stop dithering while America’s armed forces are in danger,” he said.
“Make no mistake, signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries,” he added. “Waffling, while our troops on the ground face an emboldened enemy, endangers them and hurts our cause.”
“Now they seem to be pulling back and blaming others for their failure to implement the strategy they embraced. It’s time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity.”
Ouch.
What does this mean for America, you ask?
I say: Mr Obama will pull out all the stops at this point. Whatever vestige of “Mr Nice Guy” (I can’t believe I just wrote that) which formerly existed will now be gone. The Demorats and Mr Obama and his minions and the Religious Left will do anything and everything under the sun, primarily piled into the Unfair, Lowdown and Dirty Column (and, I’d guess, tippy-toeing into the illegal margins), in order to cram their ObamaKare and Cap N Tax down the throats of Americans whose eyes are — hey, check those polling numbers once again if you don’t believe me — slowly overcoming the Obama Glue. Things are starting to fall apart. Texas Fred proves my point right here.

It’s Bush’s fault… LMAO
Clearly.

Obama is not a “Nice guy” he is scared to make a decision. Bush on the other hand was not scared to make a decision and do what he felt was right..AS WRONG as some of them were he did what he thought was best for the nation. Obama is doing what’s best for OBAMA, he’s a typical Chicago politician, he makes decisions based on the ebb and flow of emotions and he can’t look further ahead than the next poll. Obama and his minions are taking us to the poor house, and on the path to the next 9-11….When it happens, it will be blamed on Bush, even though this kenyan bastard has put us back on the path we were on prior to 9-11.
IF Obama’s buddies in turbans are smart they will just sit back and wait till Obama spends us into the abyss and our dollar is worth as much as his families Kenyan money is.
Bush: I fear you’re correct. I fear the next 9/11 is around the corner, not far from here.

Obama has been well-taught for many, many years. He is in office now, and he knows the only way he exits the office before the next election is by impeachment, and he doesn’t think that can happen to him.
He’s got the presidency. He will not be daunted by polls or the threat of a 4 years presidency. He will do all he can do to further his agenda, which begins with pure socialism – and he will continue to try to do it immediately. He knows if he can’t lay down track quick, it’s over. He’s willing to work it.
In his mind, he has the talent to do it. In his mind, we will not stop him – although he must see, as you say, a few things are backfiring. His like-minded followers believe he can do it. Nothing daunts them.
Moderate Democrats, however, are likely terrified.
I think it Obama’s will vs. ours.
It sounds like sink or swim time for Obama–wonder if he can swim! Oh yea, I recall he’s from Hawaii and arrived here on a surf board, but then some think it was one step ahead of a Kenyan Lion. Whatever the case his numbers are certainly slipping Anointed one as you call him is probably beginning to have a few nightmares. I suspect he use to get up in the morning and look forward to the day. I doubt that is still true.
BZ,
It is obvious that those of us who thought BO was in over his head were right. Experience in the presidency is very underrated. BO had none and it shows. I can’t run a Fortune 500 company and he can’t be POTUS, a vastly harder job.
Does everyone else notice that the Main Stream Media is not reporting on this? Nahh, they are two concerned with propoating a petty war against the FOX network and Conservatives to actuallly report REAL NEWS that shows a different opinion than their warped world view!!
Sorry I have not been round BZ, Between just getting back from three weeks in Europe (can you say massive unemployent and welfare rolls boys and girls?), the start of the Red King Crab Season, Winter beginning, City Council, CVB and my regular job I have not been a good blogger!!
For Deadliest Catch secrets…..Humm what can I get away with telling? Well The CM and the NW have an interesting ‘EXCHANGE’ going on and the CM was hit by the Chase Camera Boat and lost their “Block” which meant repair time in Saint Paul. Also winter is starting Early this Year (must be Global Warming LOL) so it should be an interesting season!!
He never had much of the GOP, and his DEM numbers have slipped a bit, but he is looking the independents and he can’t afford to lose those.
Oh now you’re just getting stupid now. Only 23% of the population admit to being Republicans now.
An idiot who can not figure out how to post just once is calling others stupid……….
Speaker Pelosi, Please get off the blog!!!
Sorry, Cant leave it at #13
Whatever vestige of “Mr Nice Guy” (I can’t believe I just wrote that) which formerly existed will now be gone.
Yes, and BHO will expose himself for the incompetent leftista he really is.
Keep an eye on the Virginia elections this November — a good indication of what’s coming in 2010.
We told Obama supporters what Obama was about BEFORE they voted for him and they chose to believe the lying, statist media. Now most of them are ‘shocked’, ‘surprised’ and ‘blown over’ by his far leftist agenda.
If you tell a child 100 times to look both ways before he crosses the street and the child chooses to believe his idiotic friend at school who tells him otherwise, he will get hit.
The only difference is that they are dragging us in front of the car with them.
Rivka, that is exactly the truth. I rant that around my house almost daily.
CB: yeah, we got hit with a lot of that cold, torrential “global warming” last week. . .

I would support this President in robustly going after the Taliban and al Qaeda, but we don’t do that. I would support a strong COIN strategy that is now working in Helmund province, but he can’t commit to that strategy by his hand picked general. I would support this President going after al Qaeda affiliates in Somalia, Algeria, Gaza Strip, the Tri-Border Area of S. America and elsewhere, but he won’t commit to that. I would support him for ending Piracy off of the East African coast and the South China Sea, but he won’t do that. I would support this President seeking a second supply line into Afghanistan across Georgia, Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea, and Turkmenistan so that our soldiers do not depend on supply lines going through Talibe/al Qaeda territory, but he won’t do that and can’t even get that as a ‘pay off’ from Russia for his weak stance for those in Eastern Europe who looked to us for help.
What is nasty is that those are things he SUPPORTED on the campaign trail.
You either fight or you don’t, dithering just means you aren’t fighting and getting people killed to no good end. That is part of his job description: Commander in Chief of the Armies and the Navies. It is part of the job he lobbied for and got.
Not ‘health care administrator in chief’.
Not ‘auto bailout executive’.
Not ‘big bank bailout specialist’.
Just what is it with this guy and big business, anyways? Oh… they are easier to control than small businesses and ‘too big to fail’.
If they are ‘too big to fail’ that means they can hold this Nation economically captive and NEED and indeed MUST fail and go down to be broken up. But that would mean not holding the country captive to big business… say I hear lots of folks on the left want that, so why is it they support this guy? Isn’t it a good thing to get rid of too powerful companies and keep them out of the halls of power in DC and keep them from writing legislation for our incompetent legislators? Why does the left support him on these things? Are GM, Chrysler, AIG and Bank of America really so much better than the dreaded Halliburton? Where is the fervor against big business on the left?
Maggie, I have this memory ingrained in my mind: Before the election Shep Smith and Judge Napolitano went after some guy on Shep’s show who believed Obama was a Socialist/Fascist.. This man cited Obama’s ‘circle of friends’, and other well known facts only heard on conservative talk radio. Shep and the judge were treating this man like he was nuts. They said there is ‘no evidence’ for these claims eve though there was recorded evidence of Obama saying he supported ‘economic justice’. Economic Justice equals spreading the wealth, which equals socialism, which means Obama is a socialist. Hello??
Liberals treat all of life like a courtroom. So, if a man surrounds himself with pedophiles or bank robbers, that doesn’t mean he embraces anything they do or believe unless he goes out and robs a bank or rapes a kid.
