AP Poll: Majority disapprove of Obama on oil spill

WASHINGTON – A majority of Americans disapprove of how President Barack Obama has handled the devastating Gulf oil spill though far more blame BP for what people call a sluggish two-month response, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday.

It comes as the president seeks to show more forceful leadership in confronting the nation's worst environmental crisis and convince a skeptical public he's up to the task.

The survey found that 52 percent don't approve of Obama's handling of the spill, a significant increase from last month when a big chunk of Americans withheld judgment. But Obama's overall job performance rating didn't take a hit; it stayed virtually the same at 50 percent. That's consistent with the public's attitudes throughout his young presidency; people generally like him but don't necessarily agree with his policies.

Yes, Obama was overwhelmingly supported by the American voting public. But, so was Jimmy Carter. When you get a true dose of socialism, and stupidity runs amok, it tends to straighten things out in a hurry. If 1994 was a revolution, then this next election is going to be one for the record books. Especially since this damn oil leak is STILL going to be gushing crude...

He’s so ugly. He eats like an animal. Maybe that’s how they do it in Kenya.

Maybe some of them will stop thinking of him as their favorite drinking buddy long enough to notice when Obama tries to manipulate congress and the public into passing a cap and tax bill (assuming that there’s anything the EPA can’t do now).

Not true.

The Oil Drum has many industry folks, many academics, many conservatives, many liberals, many concerned folks about our energy future.

Don’t impugn what you don’t know, friend.

I don’t know that this is trustworthy.

If so, America may have to suffer significantly, to learn its lesson. That is the way it was in the Old Testament — by God’s grace.

Obama’s performance is Beyond Pathetic.

So would I. That is the first thing I thought about. Away from everyone. Charlie begging for some support? Both of them planning to hook up in AF1 for some private time? 2 closet cases strolling the beach, how sweet.

N.O. levee failure 8/29/05; Bush waives Jones Act 9/1/05.

Deepwater explosion 4/20/10; Jones Act still not waived by Obama as of 6/15/10.

Who was late to the disaster again?
