Another place where Obama has beaten Bush

The latest poll from Rasmussen is out and among likely voters the number that strongly disapproves of his job performance now equals the number who strongly approve his performance. Both are at 34%. In January the spread was 45% strongly approve and 13% strongly disapprove. So he has managed to fall from a positive spread of 32% to zero in less than 6 months. And this is with the fawning press giving him an unprecedented amount of slanted favorable coverage. He has fallen much faster than President Bush did. Given this latest speech in Cairo I predict that he will go negative in the very near future.

Please explain this one Rich since according to you he has done nothing but good things that we should all be proud of. He keeps falling at this rate and we will have impeachment hearings run by his own party.

I am a charter member of the "Add Barack Obama to Mount Rushmore Club". Premature? Yes - but I have high expectations.

I am also a member of the "Repeal or Modify the 22nd Amendment Club". That is not premature - it is long overdue.

Obama is getting a lot done while he can. He is not sitting on his political capital. He will, in fact be in negative territory soon enough, just as Reagan was at this time. He will be fine in 2012.

The question is - and I don't have the answer - how will 2010 go? If I had to bet, I'd say the Democrats hold both houses but lose a lot of ground.

If it wasn't so serious I would say you make me laugh. It is amazing that you cannot see how badly this guy is doing? Were you dropped on your head when you were a baby?
The comparison is to Jimmy Carter. Certainly not Ronald Reagan. To paraphrase Lloyd Benson, we knew Ronald Regan and Barry is no Ronald Reagan. President Reagan loved his country dearly and showed it constantly. Barry hates his country and shows it constantly as well in his speechs. Show me one speech where President Reagan apologized for the country he so loved.

The biggest problem we have is that Barry has been able to ram his socialist/facist agenda through due to the fact that his fellow Democrats were afraid to buck him. Now that his popularity is plummeting his fellow Democrats are starting to push back. It is starting to unravel and will continue because he is clueless from a national security perspective.

Mark, my brother, though you may disagree and dislike (yes dislike the sanctimonious "O") as much as I do, it seems many are willing to give the "O" a chance.

Now, sooner or later the Bush derangement syndrome excuse is going to pass, and he will be left holding the bag, North Korea and Iran slapping his outreached hand (as expected) and the economy hitting the crapper from the achievers of this country going on strike (tax avoidance instead of producing and earning) and it remaining so after the illusion of the stimulus passes (instead of business tax cuts which would have already taken affect and stimulated the economy) and the massive accumulating debt (which will in no way be reversed by a limited tax on high earners, instead requiring huge taxes on almost all) and even after the huge tax increases, it will not pay the debt (receipts are down $100 billion in April) so he will need to monetize the debt making our credit worthless.

And then healthcare rationing.

After all that... he is going to get his ass kicked.
