Obama's Issues Crumbling - you heard it here first

Odd, that doesn't sound like Hustler magazine to me.
Sounds like the truth.

This part was important:
"Polling data show that Mr. Obama's approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001."

Dan, it isn't just Rasmussen either:

Pew poll: Obama's public support is eroding
By Steven Thomma | McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — A new poll by the independent Pew Research Center for the People & the Press has found that President Barack Obama's popular support is eroding, with his approval rating dropping below 60 percent.
"President Barack Obama's approval rating has slipped, as a growing number of Americans see him listening more to his party's liberals than to its moderates, and many voice opposition to some of his key economic proposals," the Pew Center concluded.
Its new survey finds Obama's approval rating falling to 59 percent from 64 percent in February. It also finds the ranks of Americans who disapprove of the president's job performance rising, to 26 percent from 17 percent.
Among those who registered a jump in disapproval were Republicans, up 15 percentage points, and independents, up 13 points, Pew found.
The survey was taken among 1,308 adults last Monday through Thursday and has an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
One reason for the erosion of support could be that a plurality sees Obama aligned more with the liberal wing of his party as he pushes an agenda that calls for broad increases in government spending and taxes.
Pew found that Americans think by 44 percent to 30 percent that the president listens more to liberals than to moderates in his party. The sentiment was a mirror image of what it was in January, when 44 percent thought he listened more to moderates and 34 percent thought he listened more to liberals.
Since then, Obama has signed a $787 billion economic stimulus package and proposed a $600 billion-plus down payment for a health-care overhaul and raising taxes on wealthier Americans to pay for it. He also proposed a $3.55 trillion fiscal 2010 budget and projected that the federal budget deficit for the current fiscal year would hit a record $1.75 trillion, or 12.3 percent of the gross domestic product.
The Pew poll is the latest finding that the president has lost some support as he's started to flesh out his governing agenda.
A McClatchy-Ipsos poll last week found his approval rating dropping from 69 percent to 65 percent. An average of six public polls in the last few weeks — Pew, Gallup, Rasmussen, McClatchy-Ipsos, Newsweek and Fox — put Obama's approval rating at 60.3 percent.

Its just a douche article with no valid information whatsoever in it except Obama might fall on his ass,which would make Cal happy and I dont even have an issue with that ,he's a Republican fine but if your going to post an article atleast find something with a shred of legitimate news to it other than this constant barage of BS. Dan
************************************************
Wasn't BS, Dan. And it doesn't make me happy. It makes me worried that more and more Americans
are also changing their minds about Obama, for good reason.
Sounds like Morris's article was pretty valid after all...

He has proven that allready with the way he has allowed all of the pork spending on his budget and stimulus bills.
He also wants to have the government to take control of all industries so why wouldn't he side with the far Left in his party, they all think alike.
And while Obama is being worshipped abroad, Obama and the Far Left are memorializing Joseph Stalin!
-
Sorry, Dan.
But the article is interesting to me, in light of the high popularity ratings Obama had earlier,
and the intense interest in noting his ratings.
Not so much now.
Hey, they could go back up if Obama genuinely solves some problems.
I just do not like several of the solutions, and I worry about some of his actions
and attitudes.
I'm not saying he's satan, I'm saying I really disagree with his outlook, and with his serious lack of experience,
it concerns me, and apparently more and more Americans as time goes on, about his "change".
I might just be me, but this article certainly seems to be far more relevant than continued threads about Palin and
her family...
-
I have to agree with this. Palin is old news and does not hold any position of power that will effect the direction of this country.
She is a Governor. I think you underestimate the power that office holds.

It's amazing how conservatives are suddenly concerned about our national debt after 8 years.
-
Your assumption is self-serving, for sure, but hardly accurate.
The debt under Bush was manageable, and because of the war on terror.
Obama's is NOT manageable, and is because of utopian socialist actions
and grand, gigantic ideas that cost so much, he can't pay for them.
Obama has quadrupled the national debt in only five months.
This cannot be sustained. Gigantic difference.

To be fair Cal, the debt is unmanageable because of the policies put forth by Clinton and Bush. I do agree that Obama needed to see this and NOT spend this money, which was his mistake. I agree on that. Which is more proof all these fcks are running our country into the ground. ALL OF THEM.
-
I'm confused as to why we even keep a running tab or statistics for our "national debt.". Does anyone really think we're ever going to pay any of this back?

Well, the debt is unmanageable because of the SIZE.
The war on terror debt by Bush and other spending by Clinton was not good.
But QUADRUPLING the debt in only 5 months as Obama has?
And with Obama's health care plan, not even the Senate, with a Dem majority, has the votes
to even come close to passing it, it's that bad, and that costly.
Bush was a flop his second four years in a huge way, but seriously, our debt is so gigantic now,
over 10 TRILLION bucks over how many years? And it's going ? to get a hell of a lot bigger?
That's if Obama keeps his lofty promises and the Senate doesn't stop him...
4 x a large amount = disaster. That disaster part in on Obama.
-
please furnish proof that the nationa debt has quadrupled.

Read it, admit it. worry about it...
or, just attack/dismiss the source. Whatever.

in september 2008 the dollar sign was removed from the national debt clock so it could accomadate debt over 10 trillion. In october ot was 10.2 trillion. As of today the national debt is 11.4 trillion.
Where did you go to school?

Go back and -read- the article. What Obama is doing now, projected several years,
gives us a quadrupled debt, it is impossible to sustain.

so, in other words, your "source" PROJECTS that the national debt will quadruple, and Obma has NOT quadrupled the national debt in a matter of months?
-
No. go back and read the article.
Calc everything Obama has done and is doing and will do, and
over years, the debt goes berserk, given a ton of other factors,
like population growth, etc.

The problem is wars can and do end.
Social service only become a three headed monster with the passage of time.
What seems like a heavy burden now will become a ball and chain a decade or two down the road.
