Zogby Report Card: Obama has lost our trust

Washington Examiner ^ | October 26, 2013 | PAUL BEDARD |

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Pollster John Zogby reports in our weekly White House report card that President Obama has put himself in a horrible position with the failed Obamacare website and indefensible spying on foreign allies.

"There is no positive spin for the president this week. A weak jobs report and record numbers out of the workforce.

“Plus the worst imaginable rollout of a website in the history of website rollouts. Am I correct that the U.S. paid $600 million for [its] Affordable [Care Act] web presence? At least the $400 hammers and $600 toilet seats worked, I presume.

“Listening in on German Chancellor Angela Merkel's mobile phone calls? That isn't a violation of privacy, it is an affront to all decency. And now the Saudis are angry at us too. I am not sure how Mr. Obama wins back trust from our key allies.

“While his polling numbers are not horrible this week, his life certainly is."

Grade -- F

Five (or more) of the following criteria must be met:

I think Obama and Kim Kardashian are a perfect match....................

[R0CK3T]

For the parallel universe of PC America the F is an A.

An Affirmative Action A, where actual reality is ignored in favor of a made up reality because ancestors that some of us had were slave owners.

What is really shocking is if Obama ran for a third term, he would win. Doesn’t matter if he ran against a Ronald Reagan or a Mitt Romney, he would win.

The propaganda ministry of the MSM is so effective, plus the electorate has changed so much over the last 20 years, the hill for GOP presidential candidates has gotten very steep to climb.

What is Kim Kardashian doing today? That is what a majority of Americans want to know.

[R0CK3T]

Change the some of us to a miniscule of America.

How can the Muslim Communist lose something he never had from the American people..The ones that voted for the moron didn’t care as long as he promised free stuff.

[varon]

What is disappointing is the timidity of Republicans to call a communist a communist.

True but what explains the timidity of the general public calling a communist who is an elected official a communist? Conservatives are called conservatives by anyone and everyone but it seems the fear of death keeps anyone from calling any American communist in a political office a communist yet we do so of such people in other countries as well as the local populations calling them for what they are.

Just who and how is this fear instilled into the fabric of our society.

We read and hear many descriptions of American politicians and their political leanings and yet, with hard evidence of deeds and sometimes self admission, none are described as communists...........why?

Same polling outfit that did a cracker jack job in 08.

Sorry 2012

“They are quick to anger, but just as quick to let it go, without holding grudges.”

Definitely not Obama. He holds grudges and does everything he can to “get even” with his enemies, of which there are many.

Pollster John Zogby reports in our weekly White House report card that President Obama has put himself in a horrible position with the failed Obamacare website and indefensible spying on foreign allies.

He killed hundreds of people with Fast & Furious and then covered it up.

He allowed America to be attacked by hostile foreign forces and forbad American forces to protect American lives. He has threatened anyone with imprisonment who tells what they witnessed.

He used the IRS to oppress Americans he doesn't like.

He lied to Americans about his so-called health care laws.

He has used the Justice Department to selectively enforce laws in favor of his favored people.

And people are upset about a web site?

For the same reason that the left won: the history of the government shutdown in 1996/1997; the Clarence Thomas hearings, even though he was confirmed and even though at the time of the hearings most Americans thought he was telling the truth at Anita Hill was lying, about a year later the count switched; the history of the "Swiftboating" of John Kerry; the definitions in the lexicon of "to Swiftboat" and "to Bork." They are reversed from the truth; but mainly,

Because the right lost the history of McCarthyism.

That, coupled with the skin color of Barack Obama, makes it as treacherous as bomb disposal to label any left-wing politician a communist. So entrenched is this that even today after documentary proof many on the left do not believe that Alger Hiss was a communist spy. Many do not believe the Rosenbergs were guilty. Most do not believe that the administrations of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman were riddled with communists in high places.

Academia is particularly committed to this view of history.

The mainstream media generally follows the holy writ as issued by academia and so we have a climate in which to allege communism is virtually the same as confessing insanity.

Please note, there is no public obloquy to be expected for accusing a Republican of racism, fascism, homophobia, or misanthropy.

We lose the wars because we lose the battle to write history and we lose the battle to set the definitions.

Can’t lose what you never had.

He may have an F grade but his report card shows perfect attendance. Look at all the times he voted PRESENT as a Senator.

[Art in Idaho]

Well said! As Bill Ayers is a small c communist, Obama is a large C Communist. Any thinking American knew that in 2008. I too am very disappointed the media, Romney and the current Republicans refuse to label Obama a Communist.

O'Reilly broke the ice last week in his opening monologue with socialist and then he added the dreaded communist word. Events have shown and will continue to show Obama is a hard core communist.

If left unrestrained, I have no doubt Obama would go full Stalin/Mao on us. The problem is we have years to go with a lot more communist carnage before he is gone.

Who would have been stupid enough to trust a man with no past, no resume or accomplishments, no family (other than wife and children), no principles nor any pariotism?

To simplify: An arrogant a-hole. We’ve seen them on the playgrounds in our youth and see them everyday as adults.

“The reason I claim that America is going down the tubes, and since I am an expat, I get plenty of FReeper flack for it, is that Obumbo is still popular.”

-

I disagree.

I think the reason America is going down the tubes, and I live here, is that American companies are buying everything from China.

Bring back American jobs.

Bring back Republicans.

I'm embarrassed... My apologies to Chancellor Angela Merkel and all the other world leaders who were our friends... the American people do NOT approve of the NSA... we are sickened by what they've done and what Homeland Security is becoming...

Who cares?

He’s still president. It’s not like he’s going to leave that position because of this poll.

Obama doesn’t care what the polls think and neither do I.
