Despite Low Poll Numbers, Obama Still Gets His Way and His Agenda Passed
From 73wire.com:
It’s encouraging to see the American people finally wake up to Obama’s true intentions of his fundamental transformation of America, and November can’t get here fast enough to retake the Congress or at minimum, the House. Two polls being reported today include one from CBS:
Mr. Obama’s approval rating on the economy has tumbled five percentage points from last month, according to a new CBS News poll, with just 40 percent of those polled expressing full confidence in his actions.
More than half of those questioned (54 percent) said they disapproved of Mr. Obama’s handling of the economy. Last month, 45 percent approved. The drop in approval has been seen mostly among independents, just 35 percent of whom now say they approve.
The other poll is from ABC/WaPo, which has Obama at a 43% approval rating, and as Ed Morrissey over at HotAir notes is not an outlier and is confirmation that Rasmussen has been right all along.
Even with America voicing serious concerns with Obama and his radical administration, he does still get his legislation passed–which is alarming, destructive, and disturbing. The cronyism in DC, coupled with the bribes, back-scratching, and deceptive branding of bills, is further evidence that Washington needs a political enema to, er, flush itself of the waste.
Let’s recap what Obama has bullied Congress into passing against the consent of the governed:
1. “Stimulus” bill passes
2.) Cap and trade passes House
3.) Health care passes
4.) Financial regulation expected to pass
5.) Global warming, climate change, clean energy being pushed through under an emergency
6.) Immigration fight ensuing
7.) Donald Berwick recess appointment
Throw in some unpopular executive orders along with the bullying from Pelosi and Reid, and the result is Congress has rendered itself irrelevant and obsolete and Obama has basically completed his transformation within the first two years of his administration. All foundations and centralization in place. All systems go.
Exit questions: If Obama passes his agenda now, will he run in 2012? Can he win again?
The mask is off the progressive/Democrat agenda and the majority of America wants no part of it. It will be worth watching how this unfolds, but know this Hillary is Obama lite–and from the Alinsky school of thought–which destroys the “haves” and takes it away and gives it back to the “have-nots” who had it stolen from them in the view of the left.
One final thought: most of this legislation is to take effect after the 2010 elections and the 2012 presidential election. So, if the Republicans win and take back Congress and the presidency and all of this progressive and oppressive legislation takes effect, will the Democrats take the blame or the Republicans if they are control. The Republicans were the “party of no.” That political brand may be hard to change.
But, that’s a Democrat–must have it both ways as we have seen over and over. Democrats ”help” the people, while effectively enslaving them with handouts. I wonder if the African-American community even realizes that it was the Republicans (read the entire post) who championed civil rights and the Democrats who denied them and enslaved them again through permanent welfare and government handouts.

Obama Losing Faith Of The American People
I’ve long believed Barack Obama was in over his head; qualifications for being President of the most powerful country on earth extend well beyond community organizer and State/US Senator that likes voting “present” because it’s the safe way to avoid having his positions on the issues clearly defined. There might be a time and a place for non-committal vagaries and ambiguity, but it is certainly not at this point in American history…nor is it acceptable to be coming from the leader of the free world.
Apparently, almost 60% of Americans agree:
On the question of Obama’s leadership, 42 percent of registered voters now say they have confidence that he will make the right decisions for the country, with 58 saying they do not. At the start of his presidency, about six in 10 expressed confidence in his decision-making.
Obama’s overall job-approval rating stands at 50 percent, equaling his low point in Post-ABC polling; 47 percent disapprove of the job he is doing. For the first time in his presidency, those who strongly disapprove now significantly outnumber those who strongly approve.
Among those who say they definitely will vote in November, 53 percent disapprove of the way he is handling his responsibilities.
The president’s approval ratings reached a new low among whites, at 40 percent, with his positive marks dipping under 50 percent for the first time among white college-educated women.
Is it any wonder that support is slipping among white voters when Obama has stood aside and allowed racial tensions to worsen? His calculated silence on his own Department of Justice’s policy to wink at those who would terrorize their own neighbors at polling places, or establish an unwritten policy in which they will NOT pursue black on white crime, does nothing to ease the tensions between the races. Or, stand by in selective ignorance as a member of the New Black Panther party calls for the killing of white babies…or their fearless leader suggests they are ready to rumble with the Tea party. Or single out (seeking to favor) Muslims in his NASA program (telling Al Jazeera about if BEFORE telling his own Congress). Or allow the NAACP to approve a resolution calling the Tea Party a bunch of racists without speaking out against the anti-white hatred being spewed directly from the mouths of members of the Black community…why is there any surprise?
Why isn’t there any outrage?
Obama has made race more of an issue than any President in the last 20 years (save for a little “I am the first black President” nonsense from Bill Clinton). And with his performance in the areas of health care, the economy, jobs…the Federal takeover of increasingly larger chunks of the private sector…his approval numbers are not a surprise; Americans have caught on to Obama’s true intentions, and they don’t approve. The poll cited above only bears out what we already knew…Obama and Democrat control of America will not last much longer.
