Great analysis on Obama from Jonah Goldberg – author of must read book Liberal Fascism
In one of my favorite episodes of “Star Trek,” Captain Kirk is mistaken for a god by inhabitants of a planet of Native Americans (it’s a long story). The illusion works for Kirk until a jealous shaman cuts Kirk’s hand, revealing that the divine being is just a man after all. “Behold! A god who bleeds!” the shaman mocks, exposing Kirk as a fraud to the rest of the tribe.
It may sound like a stretch — and, let’s be fair, it is — but I keep thinking of that episode when I look Barack Obama’s poll numbers these days.
He’s bleeding on every front. The latest Pew survey shows that only 38 percent of Americans approve of his handling of the economy. In the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, fewer than half of respondents (48 percent) say Obama can be trusted to keep his word. Gallup has his approval rating at a new low of 52 percent, and Rasmussen has it below 50 percent for the first time.

Rasmussen is now reporting a MINUS 12 approval rating! Gee – how could Dear Leader, the One, the bringer of Hope and Change be perceived so unfavorably by a majority of likely voters? Its worse than the -12 rating that it even looks. While 51% of voters Disapprove, 40% STRONGLY disapprove. The more people see this man in action , the less and less the like what he is doing to this country. Rasmussen is also reporting that 49% of likely voters believe AMERICA’S BEST DAYS ARE BEHIND IT!
Obama has brought the change just not the hope!
What should be even MORE WORRISOME for the Obama crows is that Rasmussen’s polls are weighted to DEMOCRATS!
Currently, the baseline targets for the adult population are 39.0% Democrats, 32.5% Republicans, and 28.5% unaffiliated
The best he can hope for now is to lay low at his Mansion on Martha’s Vineyard during the August Congressional recess.
Pick from the list below:
1) Showing his Racist beliefs during the Gates-Gate. Demonstrating to the people that the man who would transcend race is mired just as deeply in it as his “ex” minister, Reverend Wright
2) Trying to SHOVE his Health Care “Reform” DOWN THE THROATS of the public
3) SCARING the Bejeebers out of people with his trans-national support of tyrants (Zalaya, Iran, Hamas)
add to the list….
In today’s Rasmussen Presidential Appoval survey, President Obama is showing a -11% approval rating among likely voters. That is the difference between strongly approve (29%) and strongly disapprove (-40%). the country remains split of his performance with 49% approving and 50% disapproving. It is worth noting that of the 50% who disapprove, 80% of them STRONGLY disapprove. There is no wiggle room here. Rasmussen also reports that 76% of people view him as “liberal”. with only 48% seeing him as “Very Liberal.” The question for Mr. Obama is what will happen to his approval when the other half of the respondents recognize him as “Very Liberal.” This is up 20 points since his election. Is it possible that people were that blind to his agenda? Yes, but they ARE WAKING from their slumber.
Much of his drop is likely attributable to his dismal ad lib comments on the Harvard Professor Gates arrest.
More info here Obama “apologies” for his stupid comments on Cambridge Professor Kerfuffle and here Obama resorts to race baiting on Harvard Prof’s arrest
Rasmussen also reports an astonishing split in how whites/blacks viewed this President’s Cambridge remarks. How can we ever all get along when we cannot all agree on the notion of BLIND JUSTICE and assuming most people are GOOD. We have a black President – institutional racism is near dead – the generation that lived with and created Jim Crow laws are dying out – what more evidence do Afircan Americans need to see the path to prosperity is open?
Seventy-one percent (71%) of African-Americans say the president’s response was good or excellent, a view shared by just 22% of white Americans.
At the other extreme, 53% of white voters gave the president’s response a poor grade. Only five percent (5%) of black Americans offered such a negative response.
Seventy-three percent (73%) of African-American voters believe that most blacks receive unfair treatment from the police. Just 21% of white voters share that view
Thirty-two percent (32%) of black voters say that most policemen are racist, but 52% disagree.
Among white voters, just seven percent (7%) believe that most policemen are racist and 71% say they are not.
Liberals, by a two-to-one margin believe that most African-Americans are treated unfairly by the police. A solid plurality of unaffiliateds and a majority of Republicans disagree.
Rasmussen’s daily Presidental Tracking Pollshows only 30% of likely voters strongly approving of his performance, while 38% strongly disapprove.
51% of voters approve of his performance and 48% disapprove.
Folks are beginning to wake up. He blew the call in not calling out Iran early, is now meddling with Honduras when they acted upon a threat to their Constitution, is showing weakness to Russia, is driving trillion dollar spending programs through congress, and has apologized for the existence of America to anyone who would listen. What’s not to like?
Is this an Independence Day bounce from people taking a few moments to reflect upon our country’s heritage, or the start of a broader “Oh Sh*t” moment for the American people?
