Obama Slipping in Poll

Approval Rating Hits 53% as Health Plan Loses Public Support

WASHINGTON -- Support for President Barack Obama's health-care effort slipped substantially over the past five weeks -- particularly among those who already have insurance -- as Congress has struggled to finalize legislation and attention has focused on its high price, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.

In a bid to regain momentum, Mr. Obama is shifting the way he is selling his top domestic priority, focusing less on how the revamp would reduce costs and more on how it would protect those who already have insurance -- the people who need to be won over. One of the president's top advisers acknowledged Wednesday that the White House's prior focus had been unsuccessful.

The more people see the Kenyan, learn about his ideas, and actually think about their impact on American life the more they dislike him. Too bad there wasn’t a legitimate campaign last year with a skeptical media. He never should have been elected.

I ‘hope’ he stays in this permanent campaign mode so there will be ‘change’ in 2010.

"Let's go Krogering." Is this the 'BOGOF' promotion? The reason he picked Kroger is because they're UNION to the bone.

‘He Needs a Vacation’

Is a photo like this in our future to take our minds off everything?

Can't wait to see it (and Michelle's belted swimsuit).

Almost makes me want to be a Kroger employee in that store just for the sheer kicks of NOT looking at him and NOT applauding his spiel. I would love refusing to be his narcissistic supply source.

I can see him in that role, very easily when he can’t get his way.

I heard on Fox News Channel that Krogers is a union shop.

Barack Obama is a Community Organizer, NOT a president. He is in bed with the Unions, ACORN, SEIU, and his Czars are an interesting group of anti-Americans with radical ties and habits. His Cabinet is only slightly better. Obama has surrounded himself with people only radicals, progressives and communists would want to be around. He hates America as does Michelle the shopper. How was he ever elected - it is a poster for cults.

what he is doing in his re-packaging is classic Alinsky:

In simple terms, he's trying to put LIPSTICK ON A PIG.

Oh the irony.
