More bad polling news for Obama: Trust is like Virginity, Once you lose it, it's hard to get it back
American Thinker ^ | 11/25/2013 | Thomas Lifson

"Trust is like virginity: once you lose it it's hard to get it back." So spoke pollster John Zogby, commenting on his latest poll on President Obama's handling of his office. Quoted by Paul Bedard in the Washington Examiner:

"Most ominous for Mr. Obama is that 57 percent now disapprove of his job. That is his worst number yet. This includes 57 percent of men and 55 percent of women; 51 percent of moderates, 24 percent of liberals and 24 percent of Democrats; 66 percent of independents and 40 percent of Hispanics.

Meanwhile, a separate poll by CNN/ORC International found:

 53% of Americans now believe that Obama is not honest and trustworthy, the first time that a clear majority in CNN polling has felt that way.

According to the survey, conducted last Monday through Wednesday, 40% say the President can manage the government effectively. That 40% figure is down 12 percentage points from June and is the worst score Obama received among the nine personal characteristics tested in the new poll.

"A lot of attention has focused on the President's numbers on honesty in new polling the past three weeks, but it looks like the recent controversy over Obamacare has had a bigger impact on his status as an effective manager of the government, and that may be what is really driving the drop in Obama's approval rating this fall," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.

Maybe I missed that day in sex education class, but isn't virginity impossible to get back?

It's funny because John Zogby has no credibility with me EITHER!

Zogby Report Card: Obama needs support, not GOP mockery, on health care 'fix' (Washington Examiner ^ | November 15, 2013 | Paul Bedard)

“And, to the Republicans, the Constitution mandates Congress to make policy, not gloat and mock. Obamacare is after all a program originated under Republican former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney that is being implemented by an African-American president that they love to hate. I will wait to see if the kinks are indeed fixed before I pass final judgment. Meanwhile it would sure be nice to get some creative ideas for fixing those problems from both sides."

Democrats believe they can fix ANYTHING with more money and a new law, so restoring virginity? No problem.

There are a lot of false assumptions and assertions behind that statement.

Well, the main stream media will no doubt try to do the equivalent of a hymen transplant for Obama’s credibility. But it will no more make him trustworthy as would a surgically implanted hymen would make a hooker a virgin.

A good example is the fraud perpetrated by Dr. Michael Mann reports to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This totally discredited the creditability of the Global Warming advocates. Yet the main stream totals ignores this and continues to push the global warming myth as if this damning manipulation of data never happened. Just be prepared. Obama will be a virgin again. Just you wait and see.
