Poll of change: Obama’s job approval slipping to ‘50-50’

By Joe Dwinell

Monday, March 23, 2009 -

The honeymoon is over, a national poll will signal tomorrow as President Obama’s job approval stumbles to about 50 percent over the lack of improvement with the crippled economy.

The sobering numbers come as the president backpedals from two prime-time gaffes - one comparing his bowling score to a Special Olympian and another awkwardly laughing about the economy, which prompted Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” to ask “are you punch-drunk?”

Pollster John Zogby said his poll out in the morning will show Americans split on the president’s performance. He said the score factors out to “about 50-50.”

Holy cats. I never thought it’d be that low this soon.

I guess people have been paying attention after all.

He’s overexposed. People are already sick of the guy. He’s on again tomorrow night for a prime time press conference.

The Republicans should flex some political muscle.

Republican leaders should hold a press conference on the US Capital steps and with a "spending freeze" budget proposal coupled with a 10% across the board tax cut - ALL brackets.

In a month I’m going to be among a large number of foreign colleagues — the best “response” I have now to the imagined questions is that *I* did not have a candidate in the last election, and please accept my apology on behalf of some of my countrymen.

Maybe, just maybe, the American public is starting to realize that they elected a child to the White House. Of course, the black community will support him even if he dressed himself in a KKK outfit carrying a burning cross at his next presser. You really have to wonder about the intelligence level of the Afro-American community.

I have to believe you... but sometime there HAS to be a point where even the press gives up. (Or maybe not; I've pretty much tuned them out.)

Tomorrow night he’ll take away everyone’s weekly American Idol fix and his poll #’s will drop even further.

I think all he cares about - now that he got himself elected - is getting his agenda through ASAP. I suspect he doesn’t even care about a second term if he can cram through socialized medicine for all, amnesty, his Global Poverty initiative (actually, a little hard to do now that we’re broke) and maybe another wealth redistribution policy or two like cap and trade.

I truly believe that BO doesn’t care that most of We The People don’t like what he is doing one bit.

There is actully, I believe, a great companion story here, (thus far, unreported).

As Marxist Obama's lies, incompetence, deception, and true goals become apparent, not only do his poll numbers fall, but so do those of the "news" media.

The nets and celebs were not shy about promoting Marxist Obama, and now, once-trusting news consumers will be smart enough to connect the nets with Obama's deceptions (including critical resume omissions and enhancements).

And, once a person (or a network of persons) is caught in a lie, the distrust cannot easily overcome. Just telling the truth a few dozen times wouldn't do it.

Some are already asking him tough questions - Jake Tapper, Chip Reid, to name the most obvious.

I don’t think we’ve ever had such a narcissist in the White House. The press is treating him with the respect that they would give to any President, especially one in the Democrat party. However, as evidenced by articles this weekend by uber liberals like Maureen Dowd and Frank Rich, they’re beginning to realize he’s just an empty suit who likes playing President and loves throngs of crowds fawning all over him.

When we find out he’s not eligible to be president, it might drop into the mid 30’s...

Maybe you wonder; I don't.

I’ll bet it’s ever lower.

My wish for him to fail is coming true.....

By golly, I think Obama might have set an all time record for being that fastest failure in the history of man.

For those that went Black, you can have him back...... THIS glove fit’s.
