In the latest Gallup Presidential Tracking poll, the numbers are not encouraging for Obama. Currently Obama comes in at about 55% approval rating after his first 6 months in office, which ranks him about 10th (of 12 Presidents) since Gallup first started tracking these results in the 1940s. At similar points in their presidency, Obama is actually tracking lower than Jimmy the Peanut was at a similar point of his presidency.
Obama's going down faster then a two bit hooker
It’s also quite obvious that Obama realizes that he is in deep trouble. He knows that what he has been pushing on the American public has not been popular. He knows his window for implementing his socialist agenda is closing, that is why there is this last minute full-court press to pass the health care legislation. He has given Congress a deadline of August 9th to pass the legislation, any legislation, he doesn’t even care what is in the bill. In fact, he’s admitted he hasn’t even read any of the proposed legislation. Why bother yourself with a minor thing like becoming familiar with legislation that will have the single largest impact on American society since Social Security was passed? I mean, just give me the damn bill right?!
I urge everyone who reads this blog and who still cares about this country, even if you deeply want to see health care reform in this country as we all do (in some form), contact your representatives today, tomorrow and every day. Tell them to vote against this craptastic bill and spend some actual time coming up with a real solution that will actually help the Americans who need it most. The world will not end if we don’t pass this bill by August 9th. However, if we rush into something it could have dire consequences. It has already been estimated that TARP and the bailouts could end up costing the American taxpayer 23 Trillion dollars. We cannot, for future generations sake, afford to let a similar bill again in regards to health care legislation.

For the first time since the Affirmative Action Hero was elected, I am proud of my country.

Apples and Oranges-Carter left office with a 28% approval rating. At this point in his presidency, the energy crisis, the hostage crisis, and interest rates hitting the roof HADN’T happened.
Obama inherited a disaster, a highly partisan country, and is still twice as popular as W when he left office.

Well listen this happened to Clinton to he had a lower approval rating than Carter at this point, but there’s a reason why he didn’t lose. And that was simple do to Ross Perot taking votes from Bush and Dole. So if Palin runs in 2012 there could be some problem. Yet obama is lucky that it’s been cooler this summer, because we could b having another energy crisis to lower his approval rating.
RobC:
Well obama is still twice as popular as Bush when he left office true, but Bush was more popular at this point and look how he turned out.

Carter thought he was doing the right things while Obama knows that he is doing the wrong things. Obams wants to destroy this country

Well, stand by. It won’t be too long before even blacks will think Obama is half white.

Your 100% correct obama will and wants to destroy America. You see watch this obama wants to pass healthcare as fast as possible, because he knows he’ll lose Congress if he doesn’t do anything about this issue. And he needs Congress, because it’s all part of his plan. He wants to run a third term after 2012, because if he wins a second term which I highly doubt right now we’ll get Dems in Congress saying it’s kind of pointless that we have term limits and he’ll become our dictator. He wants us to go to Socialism and he wants to be the our dictator he wants to be a king. I mean don’t you see Michael will get into politics she’s a lawyer she has a Harvard education “granted I think she’s as ugly as sin”, but watch she has political desires just like Hillary. His plan is to run things take control take us into Socialism and take us into a state where he wants to be our ruler. Now I’m not some crazed loony who thinks it’s all one conspiracy about some sort of divine plan made by the muslims and they’ve trained him to do this his whole life. No I don’t believe in that crap, but I just think he’s a Socialist at heart and he wants to be a 5 term president “like Nixon was in that movie I’m ashamed to say I saw about the guy with the blue balls and it had a lot of porn in it” so he can be known as the greatest president in history. Now someone wants asked me who’s your least and most favorite president and I said Reagan was my favorite and obama was my least, because they are polar opposites. Now overall I think obama will be worse than Carter and we’ll elect someone better in 2012.
