Here's one of my first posts and observations on a then potential Obama presidency in Feb 07/ I'm no prophet believe you me..... it was all common sense far too many today simply 'lack',
George Mason explained, “(T)o disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Noah Webster elaborated: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed
These people have incredible video of illegals, Armed terrorists, you name it invading the country each second of every day..
This is so great to see in the sense that it appears the left and right have at least converged on one thing, and that is that this 111th congress sucks the huge one and needs to be replaced
If we're really on a roll, we can all hopefully agree that most of them belong at Club Gitmo after prosecution for 'conspiracy to override the constitution' and the 'malfeasance of trillions of American's tax dollars' just for starters to get the ball rolling.
Just yesterday we posted on Obama's plummeting numbers a couple posts down from this one. (link here or just scroll if you're on the front page)
So, coupled with this news, it looks like 'O' and his radical Black Liberation Marxist agenda is headed off a cliff thank the lord above.
I think Bin Laden's numbers are higher than 11%, at least in Dearbornistan Michiganistan...

How low can Oil Slick Barry hang on as this week has brought much liberal loon dissent which actually brings them closer to the "non loon" liberal designation into the 'somewhat moderate' liberals' group and any more 'leg trickler's' abandon ship and Obama's up slick creek with no paddle or Koran
41% and falling like Slick willie's drawers when a female is alone in the room with him.
Not good for him, great for the country.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 25% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president.
Forty-six percent (46%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21 (see trends).
These results are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, more than two-thirds of the interviews for today’s update were conducted after the president’s speech to the nation. Tomorrow’s update will be the first based entirely upon interviews conducted after the speech.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook. Rasmussen Reports™
All the polls are in today and they have Obama hitting near 'Carter Level' Skids, and has most Americans not numbed by Prozac and Weed all day long praying this has all been a bad dream.
Sorry it isn't a bad dream, it's a freaking nightmare.
That's not their headline exactly but you get the picture; we were right about this from the git-go, so lets just "cut through all the crap" and do like England does (since the left loves it over there so much) and call for new elections, because the country can't wait 'til November, and that goes double for 2012.
They're pulling these brutal poll numbers at CNS from Rassmussen this morning, who has a lengthy poll covering all of Washington and the incumbents are lining up their retirement plans and since our retirements are out the window, perhaps now is a good time to "repeal" all these congress people's Triple Gold Star Retirement Programs on out backs.
Everyone else is shedding so called "legacy costs" so it's time for congress "to eat it" too, NO? I'm sick of their "what's good for me is not for thee" shit these people have gotten away with. Our founders would croak knowing these "self proclaimed monarchs" have voted themselves the future treasury.
Absolutely besides themselves they would be without a doubt, as we all know but congress seems to have forgotten that they came here to escape that very thing, along with their freedom to practice their own religion instead of the King's chosen one.
CNSNews.com "A new Rasmussen Report survey shows that 56 percent of likely voters believe President Obama is governing like a partisan Democrat, up three points since last month and currently at the highest level since he took office in January 2009. The week after his inauguration, only 39 percent felt this way.
On President Obama: Only 28 percent of voters questioned said that Obama is governing on a bipartisan basis, tying the lowest levels measured from last month, with 16 percent not sure.
-- 53 percent of likely voters are “somewhat concerned” that those opposed to Obama’s policies will resort to violence, while 42 percent do not share that concern.
-- To no one’s surprise, Republicans were twice as likely as Democrats to say the president is governing on a partisan basis. But 50 percent of voters with no party affiliation said they believe Obama is governing as a partisan Democrat, while 31 percent believe he is not.
On Congress: Following the health-care vote, 63 percent of all voters see Democrats in Congress as partisan, down three points from last month, while 22 percent see them as bipartisan, up seven points since February." continued

They don't get much worse than this web poll, and considering it came from one of the propaganda arms of the Obama State controlled media, I'd say Obama's been a lot more than an extreme disappointment....
Almost 26 percent give him a 'D' and more than 63 percent him an 'F.'
Said
one person on the poll's comments section: 'Obama may be a Harvard Law
School graduate, but when it comes to common sense, he must of skipped
that class, or failed it miserably.
Ain't that the truth!! .....So I guess that's about as near as a total failure as one can get?
CBS poll: Obama flunks 1st year: "An unscientific CBS News poll evaluating President Obama's first year in office gives him – by an overwhelming margin – a failing grade.
In the poll, which has been online for several weeks and has attracted thousands of comments, not even 3 percent of the respondents grade Obama with an 'A,' barely another 3 percent give him a 'B' and about 4 percent give him a 'C.'
Almost 26 percent give him a 'D' and more than 63 percent him an 'F.'
Said one person on the poll's comments section: 'Obama may be a Harvard Law School graduate, but when it comes to common sense, he must of skipped that class, or failed it miserably.
'His problem is that because he doesn't really have any lead[er]ship ability or experiance (sic), he leaves it up to others to make the decisions. Why do you think this whole Health Care Bill is in such trouble, he left it to a bunch of First Class Idiots to compose, and it is so bad they had to buy votes to get it passed in both the House & Senate.'
The poll explains CBS is 'giving you the chance to weigh in on how you think he has done on the job.' Readers are asked to choose a grade from an 'A' to 'F' scale. The 10 categories are economy, foreign policy, health care, Afghanistan, Iraq, threat of terror, energy and environment, social issues, bipartisanship and overall.
The results showed Americans believe Obama is moving the nation in the wrong direction on every count."
CBS poll results? Basically, Obama Sucks / In All Areas....

I'm starting to really love this global warming if it can keep congress from coming to work, and perhaps we should rethink the white house arrangement so the president has to drive to work each day, that way the next storm that comes rumbling through can keep Obama away for a week as well.
It's costing 100 million a day for them to stay away, however it's probably 100 times that when they show up to work, I say lets pay them all to stay home through November . What say you?

Hotline
On Call: "A year into his tenure, a majority of Americans would already
vote against Pres. Obama if the '12 elections were held today,
according to a new survey.
The
Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows 50% say they
would probably or definitely vote for someone else. Fully 37% say they
would definitely cast a ballot against Obama. Meanwhile, just 39% would
vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term, and only 23% say they
definitely would do so.
Obama's
first year in office has been marked by an unemployment rate that
surged to 10%, an increased commitment of troops to Afghanistan and a
health care battle that has taken a serious political toll on the WH.
Obama's
approval rating is down to 47%, the poll showed, a 14-point drop since
the April survey. 45% disapprove, up 17 points from April. Only 41% say
they trust Obama more than Congressional GOPers, while 33% pick the GOP
over the WH. That 8-point gap is down from a 21-point edge Obama
sported as recently as Sept."
Here's the poll that's cited up in the blog post above
.............
"The latest survey finds 55 percent of Americans believe the country is
on the wrong track – the highest percentage yet in the Heartland
Monitor series. In addition, President Obama's job approval rating has
dipped to its lowest position in the series, to 47 percent, but 52
percent believe the country is beginning to move in the right direction
because of his policies. Opinion on the administration's economic
policies is divided, with Americans split over whether they have been
ineffective while raising deficits (46 percent) or have prevented an
even worse crisis and set the stage for recovery (43 percent).
Collectively,
elected officials were regarded as being out of touch with the concerns
of everyday Americans: 80 percent said government officials had done a
fair or poor job of addressing financial issues and 60 percent said
banks, investment companies and major corporations were the main
beneficiaries of federal action, as opposed to middle class and
low-income individuals (17 percent). Respondents were evenly divided
over whether this was an issue of design (48 percent) or poor execution
(46 percent)."
Karl Rove Gives Him a Big Fat D- which falls right in line with my assessment of this administration down below, yesterday.....(all my troubles seemed so far away, Now Obama's here to stay, oh I believe in Yesterday....... money is not half of what it used to be, there's thirteen trillion hangin' over me, Oh I believe in yesterday....) OOPS.....sorry......lol
******** original post below ********
The disapproval and approval diverged, crossing over in June, and it's been downhill for approval ever since, and up for the disapproval's, which are nearing 50 %.
I of course am a Charter Member of the latter group back when we were only the fringe 5% and proud of it. Told you so.

Today is the second straight day that Obama’s Approval Index rating has fallen to a new low. Prior to the past two days, the Approval Index had never fallen below -15 during Obama’s time in office (see trends).
The 23% who Strongly Approve matches the lowest level of enthusiasm yet recorded. Just 41% of Democrats Strongly Approve while 69% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 21% Strongly Approve and 49% Strongly Disapprove."
Obama Grades Himself With A B+.......someone check what he's smoking please...
Oprah's moving into the White House and will share a wing with Obama's mother in law if they both can fit.
FOXNews.com "President tells Oprah the only thing that stands in the way of giving himself a better grade is the fact that health care reform is unfinished and many Americans remain out of work." more
This man is having flashbacks...Talk about vain and conceited...he actually now believes he's everything all the loons told him he is and or was, obviously we can assume from that statement, as most American's are giving him C's and F's, not B+'s as he assigned himself as the top half of this post proves.
In other words, in reality he's failing and the country is going down right with him and they, which these out of control tax rob and spenders are not nearly in total grasp of.

Yet blacks ridiculously and recklessly approve of the job being done at a whopping 75%......3 times the national rate....talk about the poor pitiful blind leading the blind.
I have a feeling they wouldn't disapprove of Obama even if he came home tonight, found Michelle doing the harlem shuffle with Rhambo and Ron Goldberg then killing the threesome claiming he was wacking golf balls on the south lawn at the time and then blamed Glenn Beck for it after FOX news and Bush..

It's the Obama slide and it's now among the worst of the worst .....although the MSM won't be trumpeting this achievement like they kept score during the Iraq war, looking to make Bush and the military look so bad any time they could, plastering them across headlines every time his approval ratings dropped a point as the newsrooms across the world stopped spinning..
POLITICO.com: "President Barack Obama's approval ratings, once seen as historically high, could soon be among the worst early poll numbers for a modern American president.
He has already, however, outlasted the brief honeymoon of the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton.
The Gallup Organization -- whose polls show Obama at just 50% approval rating less than eight months into his first term -- says only two modern presidents, Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton, saw their approval ratings drop below 50% by this time in their presidencies. Ronald Reagan is the next in line, with his numbers dipping after ten months, while Jimmy Carter retained positive approval numbers for more than a year.
The historical numbers back David Brooks' view today of an 'Obama Slide.'
Earlier presidents faced a more forgiving public: Richard Nixon maintained positive approval numbers for just over than two years, and Lyndon Johnson for almost two-and-a-half years. Dwight Eisenhower's numbers remained positive for more than five years, and John F. Kennedy never dipped into negative territory during his thousand days."
Historically, Obama's fall is almost the fastest
The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it.

Or should be soon begin to call this his "Disapproval ratings" like they did when Bush was president?
His numbers have been falling all over the place as we showed Monday with the Rasmussen poll and this one by Gallup Daily also shows Obama Job Approval ratings converging near 50 50 and falling
"Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval Each result is based on a three-day rolling average"
These are Obama's latest downward spiraling approval ratings as Americans finally slow the Socialist Express long enough to take a look at the fine print, and after some close examination, it's not looking so good right now for the remainder of this radical agenda they've been ramrodding down Americans' throats.
He's now up to 41% disapproval and 38% approval as of this fine Sunday Morning...
That once overflowing political capital piggy bank is bare bones empty right now for the Obama Central Government, and with the tenor swinging the way it is with the Tea Party and Town Hall Movement coupled with Sarah Palin on the loose, I sure hope we can all keep up the genuine anger at the bloating government when the Illegal issue comes up after we kill this Obamacare movement in it's tracks.

Falling like a rock would be an appropriate analogy for what's happening to Obama's polling numbers and that at least shows the moderates that voted for Obama are now having extreme buyers remorse at this time, wishing they could recast the vote for a war hero than the radical extremist they managed to place in office.
Obama’s Approval Rating Drops on Health Care, Economy Concerns
Bloomberg.com:Aug. 6 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama’s approval rating is falling amid concerns about the U.S. economy and his push to revamp the U.S. health-care system, a Quinnipiac University poll shows.
Exactly half of the registered voters surveyed from July 27 to Aug. 3 by Quinnipiac said they approve of the job Obama is doing, compared with 42 percent who disapprove. That’s down from 57 percent approval and 33 percent disapproval in a poll taken in late June, according to results released today. Americans are upset about rising unemployment and worried that health-care plans making their way through Congress will add to the U.S. budget deficit, said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Hamden, Connecticut-based polling institute. The combination has helped drive down the president’s ratings.
A “willingness to give him the benefit of the doubt is, among some voters, evaporating,” Brown told reporters in Washington yesterday.
The poll found that voters disapprove of the way Obama is handling the economy by 49 percent to 45 percent. On his effort to overhaul of the health-care system, 52 percent disapprove of his handling of the issue while 39 percent approve.
Only foreign policy offered a bright spot: 52 percent of poll respondents approved of his job on this front, compared with 38 percent who disapproved.
Quinnipiac took the poll in the middle of a controversy over Obama’s remarks about the arrest of Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. Gates, who is black, was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge after a confrontation at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a white police officer.
Obama, asked about the incident during a July 22 news conference, said police “acted stupidly” in making the arrest. In the poll, voters by 49 percent to 33 percent said Obama acted “stupidly” when he waded into the matter. Even so, 55 percent said they approved of the way Obama is handling race relations.
The poll surveyed 2,409 registered voters nationwide and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
