So Far, Not So Good
Power Line ^ | 2-4-2011 | John Hinderaker

We haven't been very critical of President Obama's response to events in Egypt, but the current trend in Scott Rasmussen's Presidential approval index suggests that most Americans haven't been impressed. Ever since November's election, negative attitudes toward President Obama have been softening. His overall approval rating among likely voters has risen a bit and, even more noticeably, the "strong disapproval" that is recorded in the approval index has moderated. If that trend had continued, it seemed that the approval index could even go positive. But look at what has happened in recent days:

Our beautiful country is in the very best of hands.

This just in: Wikileaks cables reportedly indicate that, consistent with its policy of selling out friends in order to curry favor with enemies, the Obama administration betrayed British military secrets to Russia as part of the New Start treaty. The Telegraph reports:

Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week.

Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain's policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal.

The fact that the Americans used British nuclear secrets as a bargaining chip also sheds new light on the so-called "special relationship", which is shown often to be a one-sided affair by US diplomatic communications obtained by the WikiLeaks website.

POTUS Obama may still be short of being labeled a “Traitor” to the USA, but he is getting awful close. Democrat Party, wise up, and...get Obama to resign, along with Clinton and Biden.

In a sane world this should topple the Kenyan administration, not just drive his approval numbers into lower negative territory. What is the British equivalent to the CIA ASSASSINS?

IMPEACH NOW.

One has to wonder why The 0ne responded differently to Eqypt than to Iran. I guess it’s just his tendency to throw an ally under the bus while wimping out on enemies. Or to just favor fundamental Islam.

THIS will make you laugh - and cry.

Granted they had to cherry-pick the idiots, but I'll bet they didn't have too hard a job. Gotta love our educational system.

Democraps are so full of hubris that they'll never abandon Obama for the good of the country. They'll follow him over the edge of the cliff, if necessary, to protect their Messiah.

They may, however, leave him high and dry if they sense that their own power is threatened. Sad that that's what it has to come down to.

One can only hope they had to edit out thousands of folks to find these few....

Perhaps this is a tribute to our public education system??

And if one is of the opinion that age brings wisdom....well....perhaps wisdom, but smarts??? Nope!

It is really sad to see America, the land of the free, dropping down to tyrant level. In one way, I’m glad I’m part of the “over-the-hill-gang”. So....I hope I will not be around to witness the destruction of our great country by this low life, flim/flam man and his America haters!!! I really do fear for my family and children yet to come!!! Shame on you, Americans, Senator John McCain and Bill O’reilly included!!!

I feel the same way you do,I am 61,and have a Beautiful Grandaughter whom I Love but I fear for her future,it is so Frustrating to see So Called Americans Cheer this Fraud ,I find in so sad that so Many people can be mislead as easily as they are.
Listening to some Of Reagans old Speeches are as Exhilerating as Obumbos are depressing,how can people have gone so wrong so Quickly and so Completely? We have become a Nation Of Beggars.
