A slew of new polls suggest Obama is not a great pitchman for his policies. By John Dickerson Posted Tuesday, July 13, 2010, at 8:09 PM ET On Thursday, the president will travel to Holland, Mich., to tout investments created by the Recovery Act. Several other administration officials, including the vice president, will hit the road, too. These periodic jaunts are part of "Recovery Summer," a months-long enterprise that, like the summer trips everyone else takes, will be punctuated by a single question: "Are we there yet?"

...

Three polls that came out in the last two days offer discouraging news for the White House. In the Washington Post/ABC News poll, public confidence in the president has hit a new low. Six in 10 voters say they lack faith in the president. In a CBS News poll, 54 percent of the country disapprove of his handling of the economy, the highest number to date. In a Pew Research Center/National Journal poll, the number of Americans who... "read more"

It’s not the salesman: it’s the product.

i hope this writer is on target when he sez da dimms will drop obama.......

Barack Hussein Obama:
“I Told You So, Yes I Did! “
By Howard Galganov
Montreal, Quebec, Canada

When Obama won the Presidency with the help of the LEFTIST media, Hollywood And Entertainment Liberals, Ethnic Socialists (ACORN), Stupid Non-Business Professionals and Bush Haters, I wrote:
It won’t take six months until the People figure this guy out and realize how horrible a mistake they’ve made. And when they come to that realization, the damage to the United States of America will be so great it will take a generation or more to repair - IF EVER.

The IDIOTS who not only voted for the Messiah, but also worked hard to promote his Lordship, are now left holding the bag.

Here are two things they will NEVER do: They will NEVER admit to making a Blunder out of all proportion by electing a snake-oil salesman with no Positive social history or management experience of any kind. They will NEVER take responsibility for the curse they’ve imposed upon the immediate and long-term future of their country.

In essence, the people responsible for putting this horror show in power are themselves responsible for every cataclysmic decision he makes and the Consequences thereof.

In just six months, the Messiah’s polls are showing the following:

1. On Healthcare Reform - He’s going under for the third time with polling well Under 50 percent, even within his own Party. Even though he might be able to Muscle a Healthcare Reform Bill by using Chicago BULLY tactics against his Fellow Democrats, it will just make things worse.
2. On Cap and Trade (Cap and Tax) - The Fat-Lady is already singing.
3. On the Stimulus Package (Tax and Spend) - His popularity is in FREE-FALL.
4. On the TARP package he took and ran with from President Bush - It’s all but Good-Night Irene.
5. On the closing of GITMO and “HIS” war on what he no longer wants called the War On Terrorism - He’s standing in quicksand with his head just about to go under.
6. On a Comparison between himself and George W. Bush at the same six months into Their respective first term Presidencies - Bush is ahead of him in the Polls.
7. On a comparison between He Who Walks On Water and the 12 preceding Presidents between WW II and now - Obama ranks 10th.
8. On a Poll just Conducted, that asks who would you vote for today between Obama and Mitt Romney - It’s a dead heat. Between Obama and Palin - Obama’s ONLY ahead by 8 Points and she hasn’t even begun to campaign. It seems to me that Obama Wants to be everywhere where he shouldn’t be.

He’s personally invested in ‘totally insulting’ America ‘s ONLY REAL Middle Eastern ally ( Israel ) in favor of Palestinian Despots and Murderers. He’s traveling the world apologizing for the USA while lecturing others on how to do it right, when in fact and truth he has no experience at doing anything other than getting elected.

He went to the Muslim world in Egypt to declare that America IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION while he heaped praises on Islam, where he compared the “plight” of the Palestinians to the Holocaust.

The Russians think he’s a putz, The French think he’s rude.

The Germans want him to stop spending.

The Indians want him to mix his nose out of their environmental business.

The North Koreans think he’s a joke.
The Iranians won’t acknowledge his calls.

And the British can’t even come up with a comprehensive opinion of him.

As for the Chinese, he’s too frightened to even glance their way. [After All, China now owns a large portion of the United States.]

Maybe if America’s first Emperor would stay home more, travel less, and work a little bit instead of being on television just about everyday or stop running to “papered” Town Hall Meetings, perhaps he would have a little bit of time to do the work of the nation.

In all fairness, it wasn’t HARD to be RIGHT in my prediction concerning Obama’s presidency, even in its first six months, so I’m going to make yet another prediction:

OBAMA WILL PROBABLY NOT FINISH HIS 4-YEAR TERM, at least not in a Conventional way.

He is such a political HORROR SHOW, and so detrimental to the USA and his Own Democratic Party, that the Democrats themselves will either FORCE him to Resign or figure out a way to have him thrown out.

Or - MORE LIKELY THAN NOT, the Democrats will make Obama THEIR OWN LAME DUCK PRESIDENT.

I don’t believe the Democrats have nearly as much love for their country as they do for their own political fortunes. And with Obama, their fortunes are rapidly becoming toast.

Hopefully, the majority of Americans have bought their last snake oil from this loser.

Sounds like we now, essentially, have the Sham-Wow guy as president.

And Conservatism’s BEST SALESMAN.
I have an eleven year old son (exactly the same age I was when Carter was President) and my own father taught me the principles of the lasting, enduring values of Freedom and Liberty by pointing out the absolute horror that was Carter in the WH, by educating me to resist the false doctrines of liberalism and class warfare. I now have that task and obama has made my task far more simple - it’s like pointing up at a huge Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon floating by in the sky and saying to my son - “See?”

I’ve lived my life in one of the most liberal cities in the Country, one grown fat and stupid due to the bloated State government being located here, and a University filled with mindless automatons of liberal group think which churns out dolts by the mile. As I see it now my son’s task will be far harder than mine, he was born in a time when what is happening today will lead us in the end to needing a World Liberator to undo all that is being set in place to turn us into a planet of chaos, an anti-spiritual realm guided by the forces of darkness. I pray I’m wrong.
