obama Post

From ABCNews.com:

Bruised if unbroken, President Barack Obama faces shrinking public confidence, increasingly negative views of the country’s direction and far lower ratings than those he carried triumphantly into the White House a year ago this week.

But it could be worse.

Despite their disappointments, 53 percent of Americans in this ABC News/Washington Post poll approve of Obama’s job performance overall — 15 points lower than his opening grade, but still just over half at the one-year mark. He remains personally popular, if far less so. And confidence in his leadership, as weakened as it is, greatly exceeds that in the Republicans in Congress, or, for that matter, in his own party.

    In fairness, 68% was probably was a little lofty. I wonder where this number is 12months from now. I think the over/under is 48%!

    Approval rating don’t mean a damn thing! Bush had the lowest ever,And managed to win a 2nd term!

    If he gives amnesty to these illegal latinos, indians and africans, then he’ll deserve the cellar and one term. This fool will destroy black people in America if he doesn’t send these illegals, especially these latino parasites and baby s**tters, back to where they come from.

    I take it you don’t like “latino parasites” very much. But do you know Latinos come in all shapes and colors? I’m as much Latino as I am Black. Born here and raised for a little while in Panama. So just where exactly would you “send” me and family? (as if YOU could send anywhere)I’m going to tell you a Black bigot the samething I tell Latin bigots on migente.com. You have all this fire and hate for somebody who goes through similar crap as you not knowing that people like Pat Buchanan is eating this stuff up. Oh I almost forgot it’s MLK Day. So that web site that stormfront runs is up telling the whole world how Dr.King was a fraud and Blacks are sub-humans anyway. That INCLUDES ME and that INCLUDES YOU.

    Dacute1nSC, I think you said it all…kudos!

    Dacute1nSC. Bush didn’t have low approval ratings in 2003. AT the end of 2003 it was 65% and it was moving upwards. Most of the country was still solidly behind the Iraq war, the economy was awash in free credit, the stock market was at or near 16k, housing values were still rising by 20% every year, which led to his now famous remark that there was more home ownership in the US than any other time in history and unemployment was at around 6%. Recall what the mood of the country and the outlook to the future was then. Even though it was all artificial, the majority of Americans didn’t realize it, so they were charging up everything in sight, since they were getting credit left and right. Of course, its still very early, but with the economic outlook being as bleak as it is, his future isn’t all that promising and he might have numbers as low as Jimmy Carter when its all said and done!

    DARK-LYON you sound like a politician yourself…lol..

    The fact is, He has backtracked on many more issues that he promised during the campaign then he has actually “tried” to push through. Most politicians bank on people like yourself having memory loss, and every time he contradicts himself, he knows that most of you are conditioned to blame it on Right Wingers and their media outlets. Its amazing to me how and why this still works in 2010!

    Anyone who comes here illegally, and uses government services and benefits, and commit crimes and are housed in our jails for doing so, is a parasite. These proud ass latinos, and proud for what, who sneak in here, s**t out babies around the clock, and push around strollers for a living are the biggest parasites of the bunch. If you’re here illegally, you’re a parasite, no matter where you’re from, Panama included.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Earthling. I’m not sure if you have looked at this from an economic standpoint. Believe it or not, a lot of what you call illegals actually prop up many local economies. They buy food, gas, shelter and pay all the taxes associated with that. Also purchase a lot of other non essential goods and entertainment. There are some towns in Texas and NM whose construction industry would totally collapse without these so called illegals since they are providing upwards of 80% of the labor force. Trust me, you take all the money that is paid out to these so called illegals deduct what they pour into the system and you will find it pales in comparison to the money these bankers are stealing from you, I and the entire country. These are the REAL parasites. Stop focusing on these million dollar issues, when people are literally stealing billions from you with the HELP of your elected officials!

    Most of these people send the bulk of their money back to where they come from, and the others just s**t out babies while paying the bill for none, and then live off welfare. Schools lose money for American citizens, in order to provide for these latinos who don’t even want to learn english, so more money to cater to them in trying to get them up to speed, while many end up dropping out of school, in street gangs and in jail. More taxpayer money down the s**tter. These people don’t know the language, but yet drive cars causing accidents and raising insurance rates, yeah, economics for me and my neighbor. These people don’t pay income nor state taxes in many cases, and they break every law necessary in oreder to stay here. Zoning laws – 20 people in a 3 beadroom house with 6 cars parked outside. These poeple put no money down on houses, yet walk away from them and leaving the rest in the neighborhood to deal with the aftermath of endless foreclosures, thus making home ownership that more expensive for the rest. These people destroy public and private property with their spray cans and magic markers ( signs of their oh so much pride ) but don’t give a s**t about the person who has to foot the clean up and repair cost. They dump their mattresses, sofas, tvs, full bags of garbage in our neighborhoods and on our roads, so the cleanup costs mounts there, and forget about the landfills that they have created on our southern border. More taxpayer money down the s**tter for cleanup costs. States like California, New York, Maryland, Arizona, and Florida which are broke if not broke have the largest infestations of these parasites, so no economic gain for them there. And elected officials need to have their asses kicked out of the country for treason, because they worry more about these illegal claim jumpers, squatters and criminals than they do about American citizens, so they are worse than their slave labor that they protect. The construction industry in mmany states collapse 2 years ago, with all these illegal latinos, so not much to fear there, from an economic point of view.
