The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14. These figures mark the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President. The previous low of -12 was reached on July 30 (see trends).
Prior to today, the number who Strongly Approved of the President’s performance had never fallen below 29%. Some of the decline has come from within the President’s own party. Just 49% of Democrats offer such a positive assessment of the President at this time.
At the other end of the spectrum, today’s total for Strongly Disapprove matches the highest level yet recorded. The 41% mark was reached just once before and that came one week ago today. Seventy percent (70%) of Republicans now Strongly Disapprove along with 49% of those not affiliated with either major party.
Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.” Topics include health care, the deficit, stimulus package, state polls and more.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter and Facebook.
Overall, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) now disapprove.

Good obeservations. This makes me ANGRY at those people, for pulling the voting lever for someone they didn't know enough about, and who had purposely obfuscated about his past and his unbelievable and nonexistent record.
Section 4. Article V.
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress;
“What I noticed in the last few days is people just laugh at what he says. They don’t seem to have any opinion of him - he’s become nothing more than an entertainer.”

THAT is what is going to ultimately kill him politically: Ridicule.
It can’t happen fast enough for me.
Let’s just hope the rest of the “Progressive”= CommuFascist leaders and supporters of the Democrats go the same route and even more rapidly.

“the fastest and most thorough way to destroy a machine is to run it the way it is supposed to go, but much faster than it is designed to run.”
Which is exactly what Hussein is doing.... You misinterpret which machine is being destroyed here. They hold the power which they will not willingly give up - especially to ignorant voters. This is their one big chance, and they are going to do whatever it takes to make their visions come true, polls and citizens be damned.

This is definitely the absolute worst case scenario - which is important to consider. How many of the 314 Ds out of the Congress (did I do my math right?) would allow this?
Happy birthday to me!!!! This just made my day!!!!
Hehehehehehehehehehehehe!

Ridicule, followed by revulsion, followed by electoral rage.
Around the same time the deficit was being "adjusted" by Obama from $7 Trillion to a mere $9 Trillion. Maybe some taxpaying Americans noticed.
I think I head about that cartoon - I’ve never watched it - thanks for the link..wow, that’s something.
LMAO!!!!!!

How obscene! We’d better notice...
There are many more policies which Ø is working to enact that will be disastrous and nearly irreversible if he succeeds - nationwide same-sex "marriage"; instant citizenship for the millions of illegal aliens that have overrun this country; the demilitarization of the U.S. to the glee of our most ardent enemies, etc.
314 sounds right to pass in the House, 60 for the Senate.
Do you count the RINOS?
The SRM must be feeling frantic today...

Good, the morons.
As far as citizen being armed to the teeth, remember the philosophy of “kill them all and let G-d sort it out” - they would not hesitate (once that far) to eliminate whole swaths of population, c.f. China's Cultural Revolution.
The Russian Revolution/Cultural Revolution in China are bad examples to prove your point, for the simple reason that the US has, and uses, the Second Amendment. Both those countries never had an armed populace to any extent. The US has more legally owned weapons than the current population, and god knows how many that are uncounted from before WWII.
Second, who is gonna do the shooting? The Army!?!
Are you a veteran? When you were in, would you have followed orders to shoot American citizens?
While I freely admit that probably some can be found would shoot Americans, I'm damn sure that 90+ % of currently serving and trained soldiers would shoot whoever gave them the order, then proceed to shoot anyone who followed it. I'm sure as hell I would. One of the things they're trained on is what constitutes an illegal order.
Last, do you have any idea how long it would take to select and train enough people who would follow that order, before the war started? Or any idea of the number of these 'cannon fodder' it would take just to take on just our civilian hunters, and win?
Hell, it took months to train cannon fodder back in Napoleon's day, let alone now. Do you have any idea how much maintenance goes into a mini-gun, or grenade launcher? Movement under fire? Pack'n'Stack building clearance? And that's just off the top of an old Vietnam Sailor's head.
I'm a pretty cynical-to-pessimistic guy, but I just don't buy it.
Right on the mark, my FRiend.
The thin-skinned narcissist will be destroyed by ridicule. If, and only if, some portion of the MSM turns on him.
In absence of Media ridicule, 0bo0z0 will lie to himself, chuck it up to “them eeeeeevil Conservatives and Bush’s faults”, and convince himself that everything is nice and dandy.
I read today that Bubba and Hillery are getting together this weekend. I’m sure it will just be “quality family time”.
Do you think Hillery will take Bubba to task for upstaging her in N. Korea? Or that these two will not end putting their heads together to seek a way to take advantage of Onada’s falling poll numbers.
