Oh My… Barack Obama's Approval Index Plunges After Health Care Rammed Through Senate
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, December 22, 2009, 11:44 AM
Barack Obama’s Approval Index number plunged yesterday after Harry Reid bribed democrats some $1.2 billion to ram nationalized health care through the senate.
Rasmussen reported:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday 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 That’s the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends).
Fifty-three percent (53%) of men Strongly Disapprove along with 39% of women. Most African-American voters (58%) Strongly Approve while most white voters (53%) Strongly Disapprove.
Seventy-four percent (74%) of Republicans Strongly Disapprove as do 52% of unaffiliated voters. Forty-seven percent (47%) of Democrats Strongly Approve.
For the second straight day, the update shows the highest level of Strong Disapproval yet recorded for this President. That negative rating had never topped 42% before yesterday. However, it has risen dramatically since the Senate found 60 votes to move forward with the proposed health care reform legislation. Most voters (55%) oppose the health care legislation and senior citizens are even more likely than younger voters to dislike the plan.

He may some day become the most disliked POTUS ever. Carter’s numbers weren’t even this bad this early.

Obama’s foreign policy bears its criminal fruit
President Obama’s kowtowing to anti-American dictators was a source of embarrassment throughout the first year of his presidency. Now, as his second year approaches, Obama’s Carteresque tendencies are producing real-world consequences that border on the criminal.

Mr. Obama: Tear Down Your Wall of Secrecy
The real issue, however, is not about birthers or theories or racism or whatever else you want to add. The real issue is about the secrecy of Barack Obama, and it involves more than the release of his complete birth records. Hospital records; high school, college and law school records; transcripts; writings; and passport info have been requested, and all are being withheld by Obama.
Mr. Obama is presented as the smartest man in the country, yet we have not seen his college course list or grades. Hmm, hmm, hmm.
A normative democratic society cannot allow a president to continue to speak disingenuously about transparency while withholding basic information.
We happen to have a president who touts openness, accountability, and transparency in a way that is unparalleled when compared to all previous presidents. Yet we know less about this man than about his predecessors. Consequently, there are twists of irony and feelings of distrust at almost every turn in the Obama presidency.

China said it does not want to but any more debt to pay for big US gov like this expensive Health Care. Obummer cares less and blames Lincoln — in a fit of dementia.

I hope you’re right. I don’t trust the Chicago styled politician in the WH.
Gary Gross commented:
I titled my post on this “The Mighty Have Fallen Or What Happened to That Permanent Democrat Majority” because every point that Obama drops means another Democrat running this year is put in danger.
Toads commented:
Now he has actually pissed off senior citizens. No politician can afford to do that…

Hey obama, get your hands the hell out of my pockets and the hell out of my life.
