Gallup: Obama Job Approval Down to 49%
The latest Gallup Daily tracking results show 49% of Americans approving of the job Barack Obama is doing as president, putting him below the majority approval level for the first time in his presidency.
Although the current decline below 50% has symbolic significance, most of the recent decline in support for Obama occurred in July and August. He began July at 60% approval. The ongoing, contentious debate over national healthcare reform has likely served as a drag on his public support, as have continuing economic problems. Americans are also concerned about the Obama administration's reliance on government spending to solve the nation's problems and the growing federal budget deficit. Since September, Obama's approval rating had been holding in the low 50s and, although it has reached 50% numerous times, it had never dropped below 50% until now.

I would expect a small spike in approval rating in a week for a possible increase in the troop request. Though the number of troops may be small a about under 30,000. I guess he is thinking of the cost.

Ok, Obama, Michelle, and Oprah were all on a private jet. Obama was like I could throw out this $100 bill and make someone happy. Oprah was like well, I could throw 10, $10 bills out and make 10 people real happy. Then Michelle was like well you know, I could throw out 100, $1 bills and make 100 people really happy. Finally the pilot, who overheard all the talk, said I could throw you 3 out and make more then 56 milion people happy!
That was good! LOL! Yes, indeed!

I cant believe its even 49%. I wonder if acorn has anything to do with the high ratings? How can congress be at like 25% and the direction of the nation be so low, but yet Obama can still be at 49%? Theres something fishy going on.

What they really ought to do is FRY Obamao from the neck down like they did the fish in the video...I would much rather feel sorry for the fish than I would Obama. The fish has tried it's best to ruin my life and the rest of America's. Obamao has no heart, no conscientious...he is the evil spirit spoken of in the bible. He will go down in the history books as being the evil leader of the greatest nation in the world, the anti-Christ.

BINGO from the "Banana Splits" show would make a better President - at least he was born here. The ChiComs are dictating to him how they want this country run.......Reagan beat Communism by spending them into oblivion - the Democrats have done that to the US without any help - USA = LOST.
GIRTHOLICIOUS
It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt. President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery, prosperity and strength. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The methodology is known as the Cloward-Piven Strategy;
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
The result, they predicted, would be "a profound financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces ... for major economic reform at the national level."
They implemented the strategy by creating a succession of radical organizations, most notable among them the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), with the help of veteran organizer Wade Rathke. Their crowning achievement was the "Motor Voter" act, signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993 with Cloward and Piven standing behind him.
As we now know, ACORN was one of the chief drivers of high-risk mortgage lending that eventually led to the financial crisis. But the Motor Voter law was another component of the strategy. It created vast vulnerabilities in our electoral system, which ACORN then exploited.
ACORN's vote registration scandals throughout the U.S. are predictable fallout.
The Motor Voter law has also been used to open another vulnerability in the system: the registration of vast numbers of illegal aliens, who then reliably vote Democrat. Herein lies the real reason Democrats are so anxious for open borders, security be damned.
It should be clear to anyone with a mind and two eyes that this president and this Congress do not have our interests at heart. They are implementing this strategy on an unprecedented scale by flooding America with a tidal wave of poisonous initiatives, orders, regulations, and laws. As Rahm Emmanuel said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste."
The real goal of "health care" legislation, the real goal of "cap-and-trade," and the real goal of the "stimulus" is to rip the guts out of our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda. These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They and will make matters much worse, for that is their design.
This time, in addition to overwhelming the government with demands for services, Obama and the Democrats are overwhelming political opposition to their plans with a flood of apocalyptic legislation. Their ultimate goal is to leave us so discouraged, demoralized, and exhausted that we throw our hands up in defeat. As Barney Frank said, "the middle class will be too distracted to fight."
It is time we fully internalized and digested this fact, with all its ugly ramifications. These people have violated countless laws and could be prosecuted, had we the political power. Not only are their policies unconstitutional, but deliberately so -- the goal being to make the Constitution irrelevant. Their spending is off the charts and will drive us into hyperinflation, but it could be rescinded, had we the political power. These policies are toxic, but they could be stopped and reversed, had we the political power. Their ideologies are poisonous, but they could be exposed for what they are, with long jail sentences as an object lesson, had we the political power.
Every single citizen who cares about this country should be spending every minute of his or her spare time lobbying, organizing, writing, and planning. Fight every initiative they launch. It is all destructive. If we are to root out this evil, it is critical that in 2010 we elect competent, principled leaders willing to defend our Constitution and our country. Otherwise, the malevolent cabal that occupies the government today will become too entrenched.
After that, all bets are off.
Good, grasshopper, soon you will be able to snatch the pebble from my hand and take it to the "useful idiots" (MSNBC) described by Lenin and hold the flame of logic in the face of the great "agent of change" (Obama) and the hapless minions trapped in the box of dialectic thinking. It's called the soviet, folks! Read Lukacs, Hegel, Marx, Alinsky, Gramsci, etc.. See any similarities to the left? Did you know that "diversity" is a requirement for the soviet dialectic power tactic to work? Did you that the mobilization of countless mass organizations (ACORN, SEIU) are all part of the "dumbing down" of the masses to facilitate "change" by introducing "moral relativism" into the group? Moral certainties are not allowed within the dialectic, only willing service to the state or group. U.S. school teachers are masters of the dialectic and use Alinsky-esque power tactics all the time on kids to get them to accept concepts like: Allah, Buddha and Jesus are all the same path to God. Remember? No moral certainties are allowed in the dialectic, there must be synthesis (confusion) within the group in order for the "collective" thought to become "groupthink." I can hear the teacher saying "I don't practice soviet-style council tactics on my classes!" That's because you're a useful idiot. The curriculum dictated by the School Board, Dept of Ed, UNESCO knows all abou the dialectic! You're just following the pied piper. Like MSNBC!

Major Tom, here's an interesting tid-bit.
Both George Bushes were in office roughly three full years before their approval ratings slid below 50%. The younger Bush might have gotten there much faster if not for the post-Sept. 11 rally, as his approval rating just before the terror attacks was 51%, but it shot up to 86% days later.
Just the FACTS man.

Major Tom,
Four presidents -- Harry Truman (11 months into his term), as well as Ford, Reagan, and Clinton -- dropped below majority approval in their first year in office, now the Freak-Show. Reagan being the only Republican ever.
