Dear Leader’s Poll Numbers Continue To Go Down
Posted on July 20, 2009
He is quickly learning that being an actual leader, a job he had never held till 1/20/2009, and pushing one’s agenda is not as easy as a good campaign speech
Heading into a critical period in the debate over health-care reform, public approval of President Obama’s stewardship on the issue has dropped below the 50 percent threshold for the first time, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Since April, approval of Obama’s handling of health care has dropped from 57 percent to 49 percent, with disapproval rising from 29 percent to 44 percent. Obama still maintains a large advantage over congressional Republicans in terms of public trust on the issue, even as the GOP has closed the gap.
Perhaps it could have something to do with him trying to slam through a major, huge, giant, all-encompassing vision that will fundamentally change America’s health insurance and health care system, with unknown, but gigantic, enormous, massive costs, and people are getting worried that it will work about as well as his Stimulus package.
On the flip side, we apparently have too many grasshoppers in this country
On health care, the poll, conducted by telephone Wednesday through Saturday, found that a majority of Americans (54 percent) approve of the outlines of the legislation now heading toward floor action. The measure would institute new individual and employer insurance mandates and create a government-run plan to compete with private insurers. Its costs would be paid in part through new taxes on high-income earners.
The breakdown is huge among the parties. 75% of Democrats and 60% of Independents back the basic plan, while 75% of Republicans oppose. On one side you have people who want nanny to take care of them, and the other side is comprised of adults who want to take care of themselves.
Dear Leader is also tanking on the economy, and people are saying that he needs to chill on the spending. And those who make $50,000 or more are now starting to realize that they were sold some snake oil by that gent who said they “looked like a smart young man.” Buyers remorse.

Looks to me like the community organizer, aka rabble rouser, is learning the hard way that we Americans, by and large, are not going to just roll over with all his pie in the sky BS.
No where in the constitution does it say that we are, or should be, guaranteed health insurance.
I retired in 2002 and don’t have health insurance and my wife and I get along just fine. We also pay our bills without any assistance from the government.
I think most people could do the same if they tried.
