The White House insisted Wednesday that President Obama’s credibility had not been damaged by the botched rollout of Obamacare, despite a series of recent polls showing his diminished standing with the American public.
"I don't think I agree with that conclusion,” White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said of the assertion that fewer Americans trust the president because of broken promises over his signature domestic achievement.
However, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that 54 percent of respondents disapproved of the president’s job performance, driven mainly by the problem-plagued rollout of Obamacare.
Fifty-eight percent of those surveyed said Obamacare was the issue that most affected their perceptions of the president. In comparison, one-fourth of respondents identified the economy as driving their views of Obama.
White House officials believe they have turned the corner on the technical problems with healthcare.gov and counter that more Americans will support the law as they become familiar with the benefits of the Affordable Care Act.
More problematic for the White House than issues with the website, however, is the president’s broken promise that all Americans could keep their insurance plans under Obamacare.
Since Obama apologized for his unmet pledge, polls have shown a continual downward trend in whether Americans find him trustworthy.
“I don’t think I agree with that conclusion,” White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said
Hey dork, nobody asked for your conclusion, or your agreement. The polls speak for themselves.
On another subject...
Son of Sam killer says, “I’ve never been more popular!”
Lack of credibility came when he declared his administration would be the most transparent, then began locking down all of his own records to keep citizens from knowing whence he came.
Most transparent administration in history? Hardly.

Think they’re lying about this?.../s
I think I hear the sound of someone whistling while walking past the graveyard...
You can’t polish a turd but, on the other hand, you can’t make it any dirtier either.
Well, I don’t think any less of him.
Now he’s trying Jedi mind tricks?
They only work in California.
I would hate to have been known as the liar who lied for the biggest liar in history
This is like -
You know you are being lied to, and THEY are going to make you ‘like’ the treatment too.
Why that’s the craziest thing I ever heard.
As it was pointed out on SNL last week, the President says so, the WH Press Secretary says so, and the Obama Administration says so, so that’s THREE INDEPENDENT SOURCES and that proves it’s true.
</sarc>
This WH is in Nixon mode, denial of reality.
> Obama’s cloak of immunity is slipping away and his socialist agenda is threatened.
Pretty sure they’re training the bown shirts and warming up the ACPs for martial law when he has that moment when everbody realizes the emporer is naked. They would already be out and about but they couldn’t get enough idiots to sign on for removing the 2nd amendment.
