Obama's Prestige, Job Approval Sinking Fast

And down she goes:

President Obama's job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term.

The new low comes as Obama enters the home stretch in his push to enact his signature initiative, an overhaul of the nation's health care system, and escalates America's involvement in the Afghanistan war.

That's only a fraction of his problems.

As Obama's blind faith in the anthropogenic climate change cult threatens to decimate what remains of our economy, expect his approval to dive even further beneath the waves. Resistance will deepen against his Administration's attempts at totalitarianism.

It's just starting to get ugly.

"It's just starting to get ugly."

You said a mouthful there!! Now just add the famous quote from the fraud in the White House - "You ain't seen nothin' yet!" - and the line would be perfect.

I honestly believe he'll bottom out at about 30% - maybe 35 - and never recover from that level. That 30-35% would be the far-left libtards and those who voted race, rather than qualifications.

If he continues to pursue Cap and Trade and advocates for another stimulus there will indeed be a further erosion of his approval rating.

I think he will backpedal on the AGW front but press ahead with another "stimulus package" that is cloaked as a "Jobs bill"...

While I would like to believe that he would bottom out at similar levels as Bush did pre-surge I doubt that the media will continually hammer him like they did Bush...they will continue the mantra - "All is Well...ALL IS WELL!!!"

How about he crashes on the climate bill (and copenhagen) and then uses the tarp funds for his bribes because he can't get another stimulus - not in an election year. After Christmas and the real retail number come out he is not going to get anything in Congress. You are going to see the great scramble for reelection. Or the gloves come off and the real party starts with a real ugly bent!

Color me skeptical. How many of those folks are people pissed because he's not ramming the public option down the throats of the reactionary plutocratic class enemies?

I know I disapproved of Bush's whole compassionate conservatism shtick. Didn't mean I wanted Kerry to win in 04. Fact is 40% of the country votes Democrat every year, no matter what. Same vote Republican, no matter what. The 20% who swing are all that matters.

How many dead people, how many people coming from out of state to vote in swing states, how many false identities from ACORN will come out 3 years from now? How many people can have their votes bought with tax dollars? How many folks will vote for the cool guy again?

The lessons of FDR should be clear: FDR didn't win by ending the Depression. The Depression didn't end in his first or second terms. He just bought the votes he needed with tax dollars. It's brilliant. The Democrats used to go around with cash in hand. Now they purchase votes with money that comes from Republicans, Democrats and independents.

The media will still be around in 2012. They'll still be gushing about his rhetoric and his style. They'll launch a thousand smear campaigns on the GOP nominee. Hell, by 2012 the media will be a recipient of bailout money. Think they're going to even be a little bit fair?

The levers of power in a post-industrial society are the media, the bureaucracies, and the academy. Liberals have permanent control over all three. The election of Obama was supposed to be Year Zero, the dawn of a new era. The goal is to permanently shift American politics to a left of center stance. Socialized medicine is they key. Once they control your health, they claim the right to regulate everything about your life.

It's over, they won.

The question is whether to fight or to live out your life as best you can and enjoy the freedom you have before it all is taken away.
