The lower President Barack Obama's approval numbers go the more certain he seems to be about his vision for the country. In the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for December 15, 41 percent of those surveyed across America give Obama's performance as president a highly negative review.
On healthcare, the issue that is at this moment at the forefront of the debate, 56 percent of those surveyed by Rasmussen now say they oppose the bill working its way through the Senate. Yet he continues to press ahead with signature issues like healthcare as though the sentiments of the electorate mattered not at all to him, never once pausing to admit that he has been wrong about anything or that he has failed to live up to the promises he made during his presidential campaign.
Much has already been written about how he has already violated his pledge not to raises taxes, any kind of taxes on families making less that $250,000 per year. The bill currently making its way through the Senate contains at least six, a fact he has yet to mention. Nor has he fulfilled his promise to put the healthcare negotiations—any of the healthcare negotiations—on C-SPAN so the American people can see the wheeling and dealing and horse-trading that has obviously been going on, the latest being the watering-down of the public option provision to satisfy the demands of Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.
The president's approval ratings have fallen farther faster than any of his predecessors. Perhaps because the critical bloc of independent voters that backed him in 2008 have been turned off by what could be called Obama's arrogance in office.

Pride goeth before the fall.
UNWR - whoa - something other than a fawning ObambiBopper softball peice. Telling.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad!
Put differently, the lower his approval rating sinks, the less he even acts as if he cares what anyone thinks of him.
“Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”
That is impossible.
First, Obama is insane to encourage Americans to elevate himself because they will quickly see that he is human and their elevated regard will turn to scorn.
Second, if his hubris is rising, it might be because he is doubling down on his Socialist/Marxist ideology. As a Marxist, he knew the majority of Americans would never approve of his revolution and is responding to their disapproval by steeling his determination to run roughshod over them.
I’m not sure when that saying got shortened, but here’s the whole thing:
Prov 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
It is 'pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall' (Pr.16:18)
With most leftists,
they see “disapproval” of their policies as proof of how superior they personally are to those who are disapproving.
Obviously, the masses aren’t smart enough to see the superiority of Marxist/Socialist policies and Elitist Rule.
They don't. Obama thinks the American people are all a bunch of ignorant slobs who need him to lead them. They are obviously too stupid to know what is best for them, so he and his ruling elite buddies (Pelosi, Reid, et al) need to tell them.
***Pride goeth before the fall.***
He’s gonna fall - and take us with him!!!!!
It is 'pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall' (Pr.16:18)
Yup, but the "misquote" expresses the meaning accurately enough, it's just replacing the parataxis commonly used in Hebrew poetry with a direct statement.
How does a pathological narcissist respond to rejection? This is a very important question. Was Jim Jones a pathological narcissist?
Like the kamikazee wanted to die for their emperor, bammy wants to die gloriously for his god Marx. He is the product of a total immersion in marxist doctrine from the day he was born to today. He is a suicide bomber for socialism and he has a good many friends and fellow travellers he does not want to disappoint. He always despised the white majority that comprises America and sees himself as their redemptor but must first destroy their illusions of freedom, competence, and independence. He is our new century’s John Brown. He is not just burning an armory but the entire economy to free the people from capitalism. Imagine, the son of a slut, whose drunkard father left before he was born, raised by communist grandparents and later by an Indonesian communist, and finally ushered into national politics and the WH by a dying socialist millionaire Kennedy. He has no idea what America is and why America will destroy him. I don’t think it pride rather I think it programming. He knows no other way and is personally too dim to imagine another way. Bonzai!!!
Hmmm, that about nails it.
To be mad, you first need a brain that has gone mad! This oaf ..................
I’m starting to think the Obamas aren’t all that interested in a second term. After all, being president is hard work, and if you’re basically a lazy community organizer/lawyer, then four more years on top of an initial term would not appeal. Thus they can extract ‘reparations’ (redistribution of wealth) without much caring about public opinion.
They will have it made for the rest of their lives - Michelle made a comment to that effect on election night.
