The stunning decline of Barack Obama: 10 key reasons why the Obama presidency is in meltdown
1. The Obama presidency is out of touch with the American people
the Obama presidency increasingly resembles a modern-day Ancient Régime, extravagant, decaying and out of touch with ordinary Americans.
2. Most Americans don’t have confidence in the president’s leadership
According to a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll, “nearly six in ten voters say they lack faith in the president to make the right decisions for the country”, and two thirds “say they are disillusioned with or angry about the way the federal government is working.” The poll showed that a staggering 58 per cent of Americans say they do not have confidence in the president’s decision-making, with just 42 per cent saying they do.
3. Obama fails to inspire
In contrast to the soaring rhetoric of his 2004 Convention speech in Boston which succeeded in impressing millions of television viewers at the time, America is no longer inspired by Barack Obama’s flat, monotonous and often dull presidential speeches and statements delivered via teleprompter
4. The United States is drowning in debt
While much of Europe, led by Britain and Germany, are aggressively cutting their deficits, the Obama administration is actively growing America’s debt, and has no plan in place to avert a looming Greek-style financial crisis.
5. Obama’s Big Government message is falling flat
This is not an approach that is proving popular with the American public, and even most European governments have long ditched this tax and spend approach to saving their own economies.
6. Obama’s support for socialized health care is a huge political mistake
the legislation is “a great leap forward by the United States towards a European-style vision of universal health care, which will only lead to soaring costs, higher taxes, and a surge in red tape for small businesses. This reckless legislation dramatically expands the power of the state over the lives of individuals, and could not be further from the vision of America’s founding fathers.”
7. Obama’s handling of the Gulf oil spill has been weak-kneed and indecisive
Significantly, a poll of Louisiana voters gave George W. Bush higher marks for his handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, with 62 percent disapproving of Obama’s performance on the Gulf oil spill.
8. US foreign policy is an embarrassing mess under the Obama administration
The surrender to Moscow on Third Site missile defence, the failure to aggressively stand up to Iran’s nuclear programme, the decision to side with ousted Marxists in Honduras, the slap in the face for Great Britain over the Falklands, have all contributed to the image of a US administration completely out of its depth in international affairs
9. President Obama is muddled and confused on national security
From the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to the War on Terror, President Obama’s leadership has often been muddled and confused
10. Obama doesn’t believe in American greatness
President Obama is increasingly out of step with the American people, by advancing policies that undermine the United States as a global power, while undercutting America’s deep-seated love for freedom.
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilega…|||Obviously, many of us have not been surprised. This is in line with what quite a few Americans anticipated who were not just led by the nose by increasingly left leaning media intent on radical liberal, even socialist, change. The country was sold a bill of goods that the slickest of car salesmen would be proud of. Of course, after any such sale, what was sold is put into use and invariably recognized for precisely what its capabilities are.
What probably differs more in this instance are the number of individuals who voted for this man maintaining some measure of allegiance, because he ran as a Democrat and their choice can't be wrong. That would be something like an investor in General Motors buying a GM vehicle, which had been given concept car accolades in advance of divergent post-production press with worrisome reviews, who begins to experience problems mentioned in print at a disturbing level. Originally, support for GM which led to a purchase may have stemmed from the stockholder's investment in the company, but the quandary which follows begs a question likely to be answered differently by various owners of the problematic model failing to provide safe, reliable transportation. If it's returned with significant complaints, then returned repeatedly after more issues are recognizable and others have gone inadequately repaired, the investor is at risk of negatively impacting how the rest of the buying public could perceive his GM vehicle, thus limiting its salability. Under such circumstances, there would be investor owners who would just continue to drive their unreliable transportation or simply park it, rather than contribute in any way to harming the vehicle's reputation for prospective buyers, when perhaps, an occasional model should be mercifully put to rest for the Company's as well as the publics' sake.
We know what happens to vehicles with clearly identifiable problems. Sometimes, after a bit of resistance from the manufacturer (think Toyota), the troubled line of vehicles is recalled. Even proud manufacturers cannot endlessly support their product under mounting complaints and clear evidence of problems affecting purchasers.
The recall process is different for failing politicians, including a President who's performing surprisingly in line with what unfortunate numbers of us expected. Fortunately, the process begins in earnest this November. There will be a few holdouts who feel their investment is at risk who'll continue to support Obama in spite of the mounting evidence and very recognizable impression made on anyone not as personally invested, like the Biritsh author Nile Gardiner whose 10 reasons here show how our leader's failings are regarded overseas. Yes, Obama was awarded a Nobel Prize based upon the inexplicable American liberal media frenzy, but in acceptance even the POTUS acknowledged he had not done anything yet. If there weren't so many Democrats who feel deeply invested in the man, there's no way the approval ratings could even approach the 40 to 41 percent we've seen lately, which is falsely inflated and wholly unwarranted by the President's performance.
Mr. Gardiner’s written material is invaluable as an outside source with little personal investment in a country where he’s simply a foreign journalist observer. And the accuracy of his words support what most now willingly acknowledge regarding our leader who always was recognizable for his distinct lack of executive leadership experience. Americans made a significant mistake which will be corrected in the upcoming 2010 and 2012 national elections. For most of us, they simply cannot come soon enough.|||hopefully, he will go away in 2012. the democrats will probably lose control of congress in 2010. at the very least , they will lose the super majority in both houses. this is what makes politics so interesting. you attempt to" throw the bums out"; only to find you,ve replaced them with more bums.|||I'm not surprised.
He works for the same bankers Bush did, and Clinton and so on. It's all about maximizing profit, regardless of social and environmental costs.
America has turned into sh-t.|||No. I am shocked that America didn't feel this way before election day because I read that charlatan up and down in 2004 when he spoke to the DNC, noted to myself, dangerous slick black lib|||Not at all he was elected on skin color over substance so it was inevitable.|||It is better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and resolve all doubt.|||Actually I'm kinda surprised its taken this many months. I guess the media could only cover his *** so long.|||I am surprised more by the number of people that still get that "tingle up their leg".|||I read that article too. I found (very) little I disagree with.|||Not one bit! A Liar is always fooled by their own words.
And by staying in DC last night for the Muslim dinner, we know where his loyalties are and they are not with the American people!|||Honestly I'm stunned he has any support left. He's been a walking disaster for our country. And that article is soft-ball in my book. The man deserves to be hit harder for F#CKING UP as much as he has!|||Always look to foreign newspapers about the truth of what is truly happening in America.
This is a fact. They have no dog in the fight. They report what is seen and believe to be
TRUE. They are not being manipulated by the US MSM. They have not been bought and
paid for. So when you see renderings like this. One has to at least view them with more
than just a grain of salt.
Come this Nov. The right is going to gain complete control of the House. More than likely
break even with the Senate. If by a stroke of luck they could take control there to.
When this occurs. Obama will be dealt a death blow to his agenda. He will be reduced
to the complete non factor he has been up to this point. His major laws will go for repeal.
and he will have his hands shoved up his ***. No longer able to continue to screw the
nation in the Obama way.
Now that is Change the Nation needs.|||Yes I am. Although I did my homework on him before the election, I honestly felt that holding the press in his back pocket and having so much campaign money to play with, that he would be able to sustain a whole term with some amount of credibility. He's been all over the place from the beginning of his term and easy to see through.|||I'm surprised it took the American people this long to catch on %26amp; WAKE UP! Obama is interested in one thing %26amp; one thing only - big government. He believes in out-dated socialist/marxist policies. Like they were ever in vogue?
Like Jay Leno said a few nights ago commenting on Obama's birthday cake..."He didn't blow out the candles. He just taxed them to death until they gave up %26amp; went out by themselves."
That's what's happening to us - the American people...we'll be taxed to death. Our children's, children's, grandchildren will paying off the national debt.|||Gee I thought it was more than ten reasons. What is amazing to me is there are still people out there that agree with him. I think it took so long because the liberal media is still behind them. I saw an article on the web today comparing him to George Washington since he is for building the Mosc at ground zero. Kind of a stupid comparison.|||I'm surprised it's taken this long, and that it isn't lower.
He should have an approval rating in the teens by now. The fact that he has more support shows what ardent Flavor Aid drinkers are supporting him.
It's kind of scary. Those are the kind of people who hijack jetliners and crash them into buildings.|||That's just one guy's opinion taken from a right-wing British newspaper. That isn't my opinion or the opinion of millions of others.|||Wow, was all of this copy and pasted right off a right wing blog because none of it's 100% completely accurate. Propaganda at it finest...or should I say lowest....?
