Obama is saying, “so what, you racist Americans are still going to get nationalized healthcare and cap and tax. We’ll see who’s laughing.”
I’m guessing that if Hillary resigns as Sec. of State and starts sending out hints that she will run again in 2012, it will signal that he’s losing ground and his re-election could be very iffy. Course, then again, I may not know what the heck I’m talking about.
“Ignoring his irrational 97 percent approval rating from blacks, hes below 40 percent from everyone else.”
Any wonder why Colin Powell endorsed 0? Racism.
My thought too.
Bush finished his presidency with a 35% approval from the Rasmussen poll. Obama is only 14% above that right now.
Barry has jumped the shark.
Many white voters supported him for the same reason: racism (white guilt). Take away the support he generated and has maintained through race-baiting and he has maybe 25 percent support.
He is still at 95% approval w/the Establishmedia.
Pray for America
I’m shocked that his approval is that high.
Blame former President Bush for something. Maybe trot out Gitmo or interrogation. Blaming him for the economy is getting more than a little stale.
Demonize a conservative. Sarah Palin and Rush are good candidates. Maybe try to dig up or simply fabricate something. Generate an issue and try to attach it to them.
Play the race card. No matter how diluted or worn out it is. Maybe use its sibling, class warfare. Create a divisive issue to distract the MSM and citizens with.
Foment some international crisis. Maybe Iran or North Korea will do something stupid and accommodating for obama. Then again, that we have a viable Missile Defense is really thanks to former Presidents Bush (both) and Reagan. May not want to promote them or their legacy.
Strike off into some new field/issue. Raise something else to the forefront. It doesn't matter that we haven't seen real progress, nor any follow-through on his grandiose plans and claims. Nothing has changed in the Middle East, the war on terror, the economy, health care, transparency, bipartisanship, spending... obama starts something, makes a lot of noise, not much progress, and leaves expensive, half-a$$ed and half-complete "solutions" in his wake. Maybe he'll look to Central America.
considering 97% of blacks still approve of him, although about 15% of them are unemployed, seems to suggest his ratings can drop only so far, unfortunately.
Blacks are 12% or so of the population
95% of blacks vote Democrat
According to Gallup, they give Obama a 95% approval rating.
I would like to see these approval / disapproval ratings without the black impact.
I think that would be an eye opener.
if they ram another craptastic bill thru the House again over the objections of the public, he will be under 30% within a week
Very good news. May it keep falling!
“Community organizers make pathetic presidents.”
Racist bigots who might not even be American make pathetic presidents.
Due to the Dem's numerical advantages, Obamas 'floor' is probably in the high-30's or low-40's. He could screw up everything he touches until Nov. '12 & still poll around 40.
homie the clown is doing a heck of a job making people despise him, good thing the blacks support him at 97pct just becuase he is black or this could be brutal
True. And that 14% cannot all come from the 37% remaining independents.
Bush dropped to 60% approval among Republicansto get as low as that. Conservatives bolted from him due to fiscal shennanigans, amnesty, etc.
If and when you see the rabid left sheeple pull away from Obama...from 4-of-5 (now) to like 3-of-4, THEN and only then will there be an meaningful approval problem for Barry.
Poor Barry. It seems Obama is failing at everything. Rasmussen has the following poll highlights:
Just 20% Say Health Care is Obama’s Top Priority
53% Say Obama is a Partisan Democrat
53% Now Oppose Congressional Health Care Reform
