Obama is sinking into the oily water like a turd that has adhered itself to a bunch of rocks.
From Rasmussen:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -20 (see trends).
Forty-eight percent (48%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 75% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 12% Strongly Approve and 52% Strongly Disapprove. […]
Heading into the speech, 30% of voters gave President Obama good or excellent marks for handling the oil spill. Forty-five percent (45%) said he was doing a poor job. Most voters (57%) still favor offshore oil drilling.
On another topic, most Americans (53%) continue to believe the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler was a bad idea. […]
Overall, 42% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president’s performance. That’s the lowest level of approval yet recorded for this president. Fifty-seven percent (57%) now disapprove. Those are the lowest ratings yet recorded for this president. The president’s approval rating has held steady in the 46% – 47% range for six months and it remains to be seen whether this new low is merely statistical noise or the start of a lasting change.
The most amazing thing is the independents. Of those, only 12% strongly approve of Obama, versus 52% who think he is a complete and abject failure. It was independents who propelled Obama to victory; it will be independents who propel Democrats to massive defeat in November.
Another interesting group of voters to consider are the people of Louisiana, who are in a unique position to evaluate our past two presidents in disaster response. Because the survivors of Hurricane Katrina overwhelmingly have determined that Bush did a FAR BETTER JOB with Katrina than Obama is doing now:
A new poll–by a left leaning public opinion firm–finds that:
Our new Louisiana poll has a lot of data points to show how unhappy voters in the state are with Barack Obama’s handling of the oil spill but one perhaps sums it up better than anything else- a majority of voters there think George W. Bush did a better job with Katrina than Obama’s done dealing with the spill. 50% of voters in the state, even including 31% of Democrats, give Bush higher marks on that question compared to 35% who pick Obama.
It gets better. Because the slick, slimy, oily turd is coming off of Obama and sticking to Democrats to make them stink all the more in November:
NPR Poll Shows Tough Road Ahead For Democrats
by Mara Liasson
June 15, 2010A new public opinion survey for NPR shows just how difficult it will be for Democrats to avoid big losses in the House this November.
Democrat Stan Greenberg and Republican Glen Bolger conducted the first public battleground poll of this election cycle. They chose the 70 House districts experts regard as most likely to oust incumbents this fall. What they found was grim news for Democrats.
For this poll, Bolger and Greenberg chose the districts where incumbents are considered the most vulnerable, and, in the case of open seats, the ones most likely to switch party control in November. Sixty are currently held by Democrats — many of whom won these seats even when voters in the same district preferred Republican John McCain for president in 2008. The other 10 districts are the flip side — held by Republicans in the House, even though their voters went for Barack Obama in 2008.
These are this year’s swing seats — the political terrain where the battle for control of the House of Representatives will be won or lost. In this battleground, voters are choosing Republicans over Democrats 49 percent to 41 percent. […]
[Bolger] pointed out that President Obama’s approval ratings are much lower in these competitive districts than they are nationally: 54 percent of the likely battleground voters disapproved of Obama’s performance; 40 percent approved.
“It’s very problematic for the president to have a 40 percent approval rating in these 60 Democratic districts,” Bolger said. “When you look at history, when the president is below 50 percent nationally, his party tends to lose more than 40 seats.”
Which is all to say, get ready for some serious pain, Democrats. Because there’s an angry nation which has been betrayed and let down by the worst president in history just waiting to unload a gigantic can of whoopass on you.

So many people are roped into the” your a racist if diagree with the minorities ” it exposes the weakness of American minds we don’t all have to agree it’s what make a strong nation those pressures are used by the liberals to expose the minority groups they can’t think for themselves Nancy and Obama have clearly stated there opinion on this matter and admit to using these ignorant people to promote the personal agendas that they already forced on Americans.

Common sense man,
You’re so very right. One of the things that the left does, in its postmodernist and frankly fascist depiction of groups, is depict minority groups as being somehow virtuous simply because they are a minority.
That hardly conveys superior moral status.
For instance, pedophiles are a minority group – and thank God they are.
Now, with blacks, Hispanics, etc., they may have virtue, or they may not. So we have to check them out.
And then we DO check them out, and we find, as one example, that out-of-wedlock births for blacks is now well over 70%. You look at the crime/incarceration rate, the drug abuse rate, the unemployment rate, whatever, and it’s over the top bad.
So conservatives – and I frankly don’t give a damn what color the conservatives are – don’t want to pursue the same policies that utterly destroyed black America – and we’re racist for it?
This article – “Devaluing the Black Family” – was written in 2003. The numbers across the board are now worse for black families. Why aren’t the liberals who have worked to devalue black families for a generation not the racists? Particularly when you realize that the Democrat Party has been on the side of racism since it fought a war to keep slavery – and Republicans fought for freedom.
How about if we say that the people who destroyed black America are the racists? Does that not make a helluva lot more sense??? You look at the big cities where the blacks and other minorities are failing the worst, and they have all been run by liberals for more than a hundred years. You can’t blame that failure on whites, or on conservatives.
And I say it’s fascist because the group ideology, and the will to power of one group over another, was exactly what the Nazis did. It’s no different to elevate the white Aryan than it is to elevate the black or the Hispanic. And when you see groups with names like “La Raza” – which means “The Race” – and then hear what these groups are promoting, it couldn’t be more clear.

I can’t wait, too.
What a disaster, and what a disgrace, Obama has been on every imaginable level!
