President Obama set out for a weeklong family vacation Sunday facing the first stiff headwind of his presidency, with public polls showing his popularity has dipped as he has attempted an overhaul of the nation's ailing health care system.
A series of national surveys has confirmed what was becoming clear as large groups of protesters rallied outside the speeches and town-hall events the president hosted last week in Western states.
The Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll released Sunday showed that 41 percent of voters strongly disapprove of Mr. Obama's performance as president, compared with 27 percent who strongly approved. Rasmussen said those numbers are the worst ever for Mr. Obama. The 14-point gap between the two numbers is more than double the six-point difference in the Rasmussen poll as recently as Thursday.

Using unusually strong language to describe the developments, borne out in a host of polls over the past week, political analyst Charlie Cook said in an e-mail to his subscribers that "the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and congressional Democrats."
"We believe it would be a mistake to underestimate the impact that this mood will have on members of Congress of both parties when they return to Washington in September, if it persists through the end of the congressional recess," Mr. Cook wrote.

There is also plenty of Libtard spin in the article claiming Obozo and the Rats aren't really in bad shape and the Magic Kenyan will have an October surprise comeback.
Enjoy.

An “October surprise” for pissantOTUS will be in the form of millions in protest in DC of his presidency.
I guess not. I forgot about his leftist sycophants in Congress and the MSM.
Sure looks like he could use a smoke in that picture.
So much for liberal democrats (on MSNBC) idea of having Obama use his personal popularity to bring back this public option back to life.
At this rate, the now failing nascent obama regime should be in the low double digits or even single digits by October 2010, with only a bare majority of the Americans of African Origin still steadfastly standing by on the behalf of Resident (Pres_ent) Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., or Barry Soetoro, or Mr Michelle Robinson, or Sock-Puppet, supposedly the son of an out-of-control teenager and a Kenyan exchange student.
The Americans of African Origin just may begin to remember he is half-white, and NOT of the heritage their ancestors went through.
That is no way to jump the shark....
He's a man who can speak well, especially when using a teleprompter, he wears a suit of clothing well, and those are his good points.
His negative points are the fact that he never even ran a lemonade stand, he has a nebulous background and is of questionable citizenship,. he's a Marxist, he's a racist, and he doesn't hink much of America or Americans. He's a man who stated he thought Americans were too well fed, too well medicated, used too much of the world's resources, were too well airconditioned in summer and too warm in the winter.
We DO have a problem with Medicare and Social Security and with our energy dependence on foreign fuel sources.
His programs do NOTHING to address those issues.
Some day in the future, Mr. Obama’s “reign” will be viewed by contemporary Americans as being as aberrant as Ancient Egyptians viewed the Reign of Ahkenaton.
He could grow horns and a tale and announce Satan as his master, and 30% of the population would still follow him like lemmings.
The article seems to think that he can pull something like last year. People don’t recognize that now he runs against the people no Hillary... And nothing riles Americans more than incompetence, and this he demonstrates every day.
I almost wee-weed on myself when I heard this good news!:)
I sure do wish the Jon Stewart media were better educated in what is actually taking place. Bama is NOT 'overhauling' anything. He is attempting to take control OVER our freedoms to have health care. This is like a 'religious' crusade to him, after all he did say he had a 'partnership with god over who lives and dies'.
Quoting Cain as giving him moral authority ought to offended every one with just one single moral. Cain LIED when ask by the LORD (who already knew where Able was) "Where is Abel thy brother? And he (Cain) said, "I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?"
Some religion this bunch use to claim moral authority. Oh and for those who are not familiar with the 'morals' of Cain you can find the story in Genesis 4:1 - 24.
He might make it - he just needs to keep saying, "yes we can!"
I’m getting a bumper sticker for my car. Taking a page out of the Ronald Reagan against Jimmy Carter playbook, I made up and ordered this Bumper Sticker.
ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE
4 TRILLION DOLLARS AGO?
Most Kenyans would agree.
Congress will go into the sewer with Zero where they all belong. The arrogance of these slimes, as seen in these Townhall meetings, is a national disgrace! They’ve declared war against the American people and it is plain for one and all to see and hear. OMG! Their union thug army is no secret and it will backfire on them all.
Congress can start packing now. They’re TOAST.
Reminds me of...
"The revolution is successful. But survival depends on drastic measures. Your continued existence represents a threat to the well-being of society. Your lives mean slow death to the more valued members of the colony. Therefore, I have no alternative but to sentence you to death. Your execution is so ordered, signed Kodos, Governor of Tarsus IV."

Except, of course, for the fact that Kodos would be tormented by his actions for the rest of his life. Our current "king", by comparison, has no conscience.
