Pollster John Zogby reports in our weekly White House report card that the troubles dogging President Obama and his inability to handle them have prompted even his most ardent supporters to give up.
"Now some people have really bad weeks. Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff got an 'F' after the nation's soccer team lost to Germany.
“But President Obama's week was just as bad. Israel and the Palestinians are at war again. The president should have visited the U.S.-Mexican border where so many immigrant children are in danger and so many American citizens are worried.
“It just seems that even those who have been so hopeful of this president are finally just giving up. Things just appear to be out control, at least out of his control. A very bad week."
Grade: F

Let’s look at what Obama is saying:
****************************************
“Now, I don’t know which things they find most offensive — me helping to create jobs, or me raising wages, or me easing the student loan burdens, or me making sure women can find out whether they’re getting paid the same as men for doing the same job. I don’t know which of these actions really bug them.”
“So it’s not clear how it is that Republicans didn’t seem to mind when President Bush took more executive actions than I did. Maybe it’s just me they don’t like. I don’t know. Maybe there’s some principle out there that I haven’t discerned, that I haven’t figure out. You hear some of them — ‘sue him,’ ‘impeach him.’ Really? Really? For what? You’re going to sue me for doing my job? OK.”
“You’re going to use taxpayer money to sue me for doing my job — while you don’t do your job. So rather than wage another political stunt that wastes time, wastes taxpayers’ money, I’ve got a better idea: Do something. If you’re mad at me for helping people on my own, let’s team up. Let’s pass some bills. Let’s help America together.”

It’s easy to see the narcissism in all the “I, me, I, I, me, me, I, ...” posted above. But that’s not news to much of anyone now; conservatives have always seen it.
What is new about Obama now?
I’ve known from almost the moment I became aware of him in 2008 from leaked testimony of what was said in the Getty home in San Francisco that he was a creation of the homosexual left which is intelligently evil, passive-aggressive, hiding its true radical character from view and dangerous.
Observing his words and thought patterns above shows as we have all known that he is out of his league. But what is different now is his brazen defiance and his schoolyard pugnaciousness. This is very sad and alarming for our country.
In the meantime, after Boehner has surrendered the only real power the House had over Obama, the power of the purse, and while he runs for cover to the courts to make pinpricks about the Affordable Care Act, conservatives are reeling from learning what they thought they would never see; brazen, vicious and criminal GOP corruption and attacks against GOP conservatism in Mississippi.
Right now, there is nothing to stop Obama. But note that his handlers will keep him in check just enough to rile up the whole country against him.
I still believe Valerie Jarrett is the real president - and she’s done a real good job./sarc
Yup, the anarchy strategy will be as workable as every other liberal/socialist philosophy that has been foisted on America. Of course, they are like cockroaches - they keep coming back.
Good. But I won’t be satisfied until his approval rating is in the mid twenties. Which is where it should have been the entire time.
Give up? He’s failing just like he planned to do. I may be in the nose bleed
section but this game isn’t even close to being over!
That’s right. We haven’t seen anything yet.
Yep.
Is it possible to get a “G”?
They are both the result of institutionalized White guilt.
Pray America wakes up
AMEN....AMEN....AMEN....Sad, but all true what you said. WHO will help us....NO ONE....we have kicked God, especially Jesus, out of this once fine country.
What was said at the Getty home in San Francisco??
Problem is Obozo thinks it was a great week and doesn’t know what you’re talking about.
Oh, poor little Barry is just a little tired after all his recent photo-ops. His next vacation on Martha’s Vineyard can’t come too soon. Maybe he can stretch it out to a month. He deserves it.
Please be fair. She didn't have a ghost-writer of Billy Ayers's caliber.
I miss him. None of this incompetence would be happening now.
I remain fully committed to Nathan Bedford's second Maxim of American politics: Failed socialism is invariably "reformed" with more socialism.
That is simply a new way of describing Cloward and Piven. I do not think that the public's perception of government or of Washington is central to the outcome, the great mass of voters who are ill-informed but who decide elections vote their pocketbooks, vote their perceived self-interest, and see those interests often as personalities rather than issues.
Hence, the more tragic the consequences of failed socialism the more likely the man on horseback.
I know of no institution beginning with the media, running through academia, continuing on to our churches and our eleemosynary foundations, which will support true reform or even begin to educate the electorate about what really is going on. These are the institutions which inform and shape our culture and it is culture which trumps politics.
This is an occasion in which I deeply hope that I am wrong and you are right.
“That’s right. We haven’t seen anything yet.”
I cannot fathom that most people don’t realize this. We are living the Masque of the Red Death.
But Zogby is still pushing the ‘immigrant children in danger’ line without any recognition that Obama caused them to be there and in danger to begin with. God I hate the political establishment including pollsters who push these narratives.
No, but it is possible to give him a 0.
0bama doesn’t care - he has the MSM watching his back and he just goes off golfing or making inane speeches about how great he is ....
Agree. He probably thinks “ so they don’t like me” that means I don’t have to worry about doing unpopular things as no one is going to remove me from office.
