WASHINGTON — The American public is unusually pessimistic about the direction of the country and increasingly fed up with Washington gridlock, a sour mood reflected in the worst disapproval ratings for President Barack Obama since he took office nearly five years ago.

People give elected officials unusually low grades – 31 percent rated them “D” and 38 percent gave them an “F,” according to a new McClatchy-Marist poll.

“The lack of confidence in Washington to right itself is showing up,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York.

Obama’s disapproval rating climbed to 53 percent – the worst in 29 polls since he took office in January 2009 – while 43 percent approved of his job performance. The disapproval number was up sharply from the 47 percent reading in September and tops the previous high of 52 percent in September 2011.

Considering everything he has done to this country, and still wants to do to this country, its Constitution and its people, that is a “good” rating.

His executive branch appears so incompetent and so fascist that Americans almost cannot believe they are just ignorant rubes in the White House. We fear that his White House must have some nefarious plan against Americans. We remember that Obama never promisad to properly govern within the law; instead he promised to Transform America without ever telling us the destructive goals he had in mind. Many of us believe we have to impeach Obama to survive as the good America we were before Obama.

“Many of us believe we have to impeach Obama to survive as the good America we were before Obama. “

The Obama will not, repeat NOT, leave office at the end of his term. He will use some phony baloney, trumped-up issue to terminate the Constitution and claim he must take over to save the country. Or some equally ludicrous lie. The man is a fake, egotistical power driven take-over plot. That is why he is so calm in the face of all the negatives he is piling up. Laws mean nothing to him and his followers will applaud his move.
