Obama vs. the People

Today’s Drudge Report feature reads “CREDIBILITY CRISIS,” over which looms a picture of the President. Obama faces a revolt from within his own party. Democratic governors are pleading with Eric Holder to drop his “toxic” law suit against Arizona. The country is on high alert, with citizens across the Fruited Plane all coming to the same conclusion: that an unqualified incompetent is behind the Resolute Desk. This is what it must have felt like when Jimmy Carter was president.

The latest CBS News poll shows just how far the President’s standing has fallen among the American people. 24% of respondents believe that the effects of the Obama recession will last another two years, while a staggering 51% believe the effects will be felt for more than two years. Only 25% of American believe the economy is improving. One must assume that this 25% works in the government. 82% said that the condition of Obama’s economy is “bad.” And as for Obama’s policies, only a minuscule 23% of respondents said that the Porkulus helped the economy and an even smaller 13% said that Obama’s economic policies overall have helped in any way. President Obama’s overall approval rating on the economy according to CBS: 40%, compared to a 54% disapproval rating. Just last week a poll conducted by former Clinton hack James Carville revealed that 55% of Americans view Barack Obama as a “socialist.” Add these poll numbers up and they spell doom for the Democratic Party.

As more and more Americans leave the the workforce all together, President Obama continues to claim that his policies are working. How out of touch can he be? Democrats are poised to lose control of the House of Representatives this year, and the Senate is looking as though it may be in play, an astounding reality given the seats that are up, as well as the fact the the Democrats controlled 60 seats after election-night 2008.

While Obama’s policies have been an unmitigated disaster, what has been equally striking is his complete and total inability to lead. According to Rob Shapiro, a former Clinton official, all these poll results reveal that “Americans don’t believe in President Obama’s leadership.” If even Democrats are being forced to acknowledge this, things are bad for the President. The Financial Times is reporting that off-the-record, Obama White House officials are almost uniformly negative in their outlook for the President’s future. The American people see a socialist, and they do not like what that entails.

Barack Obama continues to govern against the will of the people. He passed Obamacare, opposed by over 60% of Americans. He passed the Porkulus bill, $787 billion down a rat hole. Now, the President is on the verge of signing a fatally flawed financial regulation bill that most Americans either don’t care about, as they are part of the over 14% of the country that are unemployed, or they have looked at the bill and again do not like the statism they see. Seeing this trend, what do the Democrats say? According to John Fund at the Wall Street Journal, after the Democrats lose this November, the plan on pushing through union ‘card-check,’ cap and tax and a whole host of other unpopular measures. In response to a vote of no confidence from the American people, the Democrats will make a final effort to impose their statist agenda on the country. It truly has become a war between the voters, what the Constitution describes as “We the People,” and Obama administration.

  2. Very succinct Ari…’Dat Obooma Guy has gotta get fired soon! Check out the Funeral Request of a former Harry Reid campaign worker…”In Lieu of flowers, please vote for anyone but Harry Reid….”…lol foxnews.com this morning…

  3. Dont worry, soon enough it will be unconstitutional to question the Messiah’s policies, and probably unconstitutional to quote the constitution.

  5. Barry, I don’t think Ari’s contempt for Obama is based on a policy dispute. More like the fact that Obama…hates America.
