Right Direction or Wrong Track (17% say right direction--lowest since Hussein seized power)

Rasmussen ^ | 7/27/11 | Rasmussen

[Recovering_Democrat]

Just 17% of Likely U.S. Voters now say the country is heading in the right direction...the lowest measured since January 11, 2009.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Hussein blows.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Hussein’s highest mark appears to be 4 months after he seized power in May of ‘09...then, 40% said we were moving in the right direction, 55% said wrong track. The magic is gone.

[tet68]

Right direction? Oh HELL no!

[rockinqsranch]

Hussein “seized power”!?

American dumb asses voted him in cuz he’s the black guy that was full of “hope and change”.

[Fantasywriter]

The 17% just misunderstood the question. Nobody likes the direction, though the objections vary. Progressives feel betrayed; moderates realize Barry tricked them, and conservatives....enough said.

Another big businessman came out today criticizing the jug eared Kenyan.

Ken Langone popped by CNBC earlier this morning to guest host Squawk Box with Becky, Joe and Andrew Ross Sorkin. Is he worried about the debt ceiling? No. “It’s a done deal,” Langone told the gang. “They don’t know it yet, but it’s taken care of.” There is something Ken is losing sleep over, however, and it’s the fact that President Obama doesn’t always wear a jacket in the Oval Office.

Langone told CNBC that Obama’s behavior has been “unpresidential.” “He is dividing us as a nation,” Langone said. “He’s not bringing us together. He’s willfully dividing us. He’s petulant.” The co-founder of Home Depot sharply criticized the president for promoting class warfare through his repeated attacks against “fat cat” business executives and his targeting of tax loopholes. In sum, the behavior is symptomatic of Obama’s disrespect for the office he holds, Langone said.

“Ronald Reagan would never go into the Oval Office without his jacket on—that’s how much he revered the presidency,” he said. “This guy worked like hell to be president…Behave like a president. Let me look at you as a model to how we should behave. What does he say? Fat cats, jet airplanes. What is the purpose? Us versus them. “The thing I fear the most about the future of America is…divide us, we all lose. This has got to stop.”

WTF!? ; )

[Vigilanteman]

A libtard co-worker (whose husband works for Fedzilla) finally gave me a coherent argument on why short-term debt ceiling expansions are not the way to go: agencies can not make long term or even mid plans or know how the rules are going to change in another six or eight or ten months.

I looked at her and said "You mean they will have to live under the same uncertainties which have been imposed on the private sector ever since your guy was elected?"

Can the voters all agree on what the right direction really is, and do our elected representatives actually believe the same?

[BCEagles]

I am assuming that those 17% are communists, radicals, and/or welfare queens.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

“..communists, radicals, and/or welfare queens..”

The DNC?

[ichabod1]

I hate that poll question.

The real battle is not between the parties, it’s between progressivists and conservatives. The squishy middle? Well, I don’t want to hear too much outta them because we’re going to have to dig them out of the hole they’ve gotten us into, if we can ever get rid of the tyrant.

From the Article:

Seventy-five percent (75%) of voters say the country is heading down the wrong track, the highest finding since early January 2009. Since that time, voter pessimism had ranged from 57% to 72%.

Most Republicans (91%) and voters not affiliated with either political party (77%) believe the country is heading down the wrong track. Even a strong majority (58%) of Democrats now say the country is heading in the wrong direction.

Forty percent (40%) of black voters say the country is heading in the right direction, a view shared by just 15% of white voters and just as many voters of other ethnicities (15%).

Translation: The idiot Wee Wee has lost just about everybody except for a few radical Rats and some "always vote for the Democraps no matter what" Blacks ... and the boob hasn't even finished wrecking the economy. This does not bode well for the Usurper in Chief.

“Once you’ve gone Barack, you can’t go back” — that’s what they say about her. Her husband is mainlining our tax dollars. Obama is their pusher. They can point at their new couch and say, “Tax dollars bought us that new piece”

[Fantasywriter]

Agreed! Also agree w what you wrote yesterday, though I didn’t get a chance to respond. Obama has teed up the ball, much like Carter—and it’s still 1.5 years out. By ‘12 the country is going to be in the mood to throw the bums out en masse, and this means RINOs. By Nov ‘12, a voter tsunami will will hit Establishment Politicians so hard, it will take them a year to find their bearings.

Yes, we could still screw it up if a RINO GOPer is manipulated into winning the primaries. I don’t think that will happen, though. Carter gave us Reagan—let’s see who Little Barry bequeaths us with.

I’m not sure which post you’re talking about, but on another thread yesterday I posted that the marxists have not gotten this far outside of their cages since 1968, and it resulted in a conservative tidal wave, nicknamed “The Silent Majority” by President Nixon, who was a great man.

I DO hate it but the reality is that there’s always going to be a RINO element of the party because when the rats screw up big, they drive a big chunk of their party to the pubs, and those people have a say, and the ideological purity is lost. The heck with it. W wasn’t as conservative as I would have liked, and he pissed me off royally at times, but he was a jolly decent president and we were able to head him off from making at least a few colossal blunders.

Point being, even if we get a president who’s somewhat squishy, it could be all right, especially if we get a good conservative congress to rein him in.

[Fantasywriter]

Yes—that was the post I was referring to. I just extrapolated from ‘68 to ‘80, since to me the same dynamic was at work. Total screw-up Dems, and a Republican electoral wave. I like the Carter-Reagan comparison because it envisions eight years of conservative GOP ascendancy. But as you said, there’s hope either way; Obama has turned almost everybody’s stomach, and in 1.5 yrs we’ll finally get our ‘change’.

Personally, I got tired of trying to keep Bush on the straight and narrow. Rove was a blight on Bush’s thinking, which turned it into a case of us, outside the Beltway, fighting against a turd blossom who had Bush’s ear day in and day out. Let’s hope, for now, a real conservative wins in ‘12. Otherwise, it could be a long, exhausting four years, as we burn up the WH switchboard trying to keep a squish in line. ;)

President Nixon, who was a great man.

Nixon is many things, but great is not one of them. Nixon was a GOP progressive. He created the EPA, Wage & Price Controls, and a slew of other anti-market, anti-Liberty moves (can't remember them b/c I haven't had my coffee :)

[ichabod1]

Yeah, you right.
