This is probably the most favorite time of Obamas reign that I have experienced. To see his approval rating fall as it has, is music to my ears. Honestly, Im pretty surprised that it has taken this long to drop as low as it has. I mean someone who lies as much as he does, and spews as much crap into the media as him, someone would expect a quick downfall. Certainly not because he made it two terms within our system. As of Nov. 20th 2013 his approval rating has dropped to an all-time low at 37%. I imagine this number is even lower because I certainly have not received a survey, and neither has any of my friends or family. One of his downfalls that I believe dropped his approval rating was his ridiculous idea of Obama care. Forcing people to pay for something that gives you less for your money, and taking away the capitalist thinking is not only going to create a huge controversy but also make you look like a communist which as we all know is unwelcome in America. He has both parties that disapprove of him. Now obviously the republicans are going to have a higher disapproval rating, (73%) but what is really surprising to me is that the majority of the democrats also disapprove. His own democratic/liberal partys disapproval has risen significantly within the past year to about 68%. Considering that the presidents party usually agrees with a president more than that, is a clear indication that whatever he is doing, he needs to stop. But hey why should he? Hes on his last term now and no matter what he does, its not going to affect him once hes done there. Hes just creating a bigger mess for the next guy to clean up and probably screw up as bad as he did. But where would a president be without being able to blame the current problems on the previous president?
There are a LOT of things that this guy could and IMO, should be doing differently. I don't have the answers, but there are things that typify his attitude that I sorely resent. How could this guy completely forget the weight of his office, and say that if he had a son, that son would look like Thugvon? What was his motivation in wanting to completely bypass the whole American system, and order the attack on Syria? Obama plays brinksmanship with the American people in too many ways. He appears to be doing it just because he can, with no "higher purpose" in mind.
I give him a zero, if nothing else, due to the fact he's a pathological liar and I hate being lied to. I've pretty much grown to despise politic these days because the entire scene is populated by bullsh!tters and con men. Fukem all!
It's a two-party system, though, and so a two-party nation. It makes perfect sense for people to be slow to be critical of their chosen political hero.
1) Most of the reduction in his approval rating is coming from people who wouldn't vote Republican if you held an RPG to their heads. 2) I haven't heard that he is running for another term. Why should he care what his approval rating is? 3) His approval rating could be 3% as long as the Republican Party's approval rating is 2% and everything will turn up daisies for the Dem Party. And that seems to be the case. 4) ObamaCare is holding his rating down right now, but that is about to turn around. 5) Republicans DO like to whistle past graveyards, don't they?
