Many of the pollsters such as Gallup, Rasmussen, Politico, and Fox News for example, have cited that President Barack Obama's overall approval rating has fallen below 50%. Fox News has President Obama's approval rating around 45%, and Gallup Poll has President Obama's approval rating around 44% or something in that range. The disapproval rating ranks as high as 56%. This doesn't bode well for Democrats in the mid-term elections. There are at least 13 battleground states in which Republicans have a chance to win seats in those races. There have been predictions that Republicans have a chance to capture the House. However, nothing's set in stone. One of the top issues at the forefront is the state of the U.S. economy. Jobless rates are continuing to rise in spite of the Obama administration's claims that the economy is improving. They claim the stimulus bill which was passed last January has saved millions of American jobs. The question that needs to be asked is what kinds of jobs have been created due to the stimulus bill? Where has most of the stimulus money went? Most of the jobs that have been created have been in government. Consequently, government doesn't grow the economy. Tax dollars have to be used to create new government positions. Taxpayer dollars are used to pay for government workers. What grows the economy is the private sector. When new jobs are created in the private sector, there are new tax revenues added to the government. There won't be an economic recovery until the private sector begins hiring again. Since the healthcare bill has been passed by Congress in March and since the 2001 Bush tax cuts are facing extinction in January 2011, businesses are uncertain when it comes to hiring new workers. They don't know what new costs they'll be facing.
There are a number of reasons why President Obama's approval rating is sinking. One of the reasons is the unemployment rate is still hovering around 10%. That's probably a conservative estimate. Another problem is Congress jammed the healthcare bill down the throats of the American people in March, despite public opposition to the healthcare bill. Also, President Obama hasn't delivered on his campaign theme of "Hope and Change". It's still the same old Washington politics. Special interests still influence the lawmakers as usual. The tone hasn't been changed in Washington. Also, the Obama administration has been polarizing Americans with racial allegations. Anytime the President's poll numbers drop, there are allegations of racism. The Tea Party has been labeled by liberal members of Congress and the news media as racists. Last year when Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates was arrested by a white police officer, Gates claimed it was due to racism. President Obama commented that the police officer reacted stupidly. The Washington elite are always looking for an opportunity to polarize Americans by labeling people who oppose the President's agenda as being racist. They can use President Obama's race as an excuse to level charges of racism.
President Obama has voiced his supported for the building of a mosque near Ground Zero, which is the site where the 9/11 attacks took place. The perpetrators of the attacks were jihad Muslims. It's an insult to those who lost their families to allow for the building of a mosque. However, Obama doesn't appear to be concerned how the proposed building of a mosque angers many Americans. President Obama has been a sympathizer to Muslim nations. He's traveled around the Middle East apologizing for America. He even claimed Islam has played a role in U.S. history. Who's he fooling? He appears to not know much about the history and culture of America. America's theological foundation wasn't built on Islam. It was built on Judeo Christian principles. It was built by Bible believers who loved and feared God. President Obama's support for the building of a new mosque doesn't bolster his approval rating.
During the Gulf oil spill, the Obama administration didn't appear to be in any hurry to order the Coast Guard or use FEMA to help contain the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf. President Obama didn't cause the oil spill nor could he stop it, but since this oil spill was a national emergency, the Coast Guard and other agencies should've worked vigorously to stop the spread of the gushing oil. It showed a lack of leadership on President Obama's part. Another negative concerning the President is he's been out vacationing all over the United States this summer. He's been out playing golf, playing basketball, traveling to Florida, and is supposed to vacation in Martha's Vineyard. His wife and his daughter Sasha traveled to Spain the other week. It gives the impression that the President is out of touch with the American people vacationing like he is with the crises that face America. However, he doesn't care. He's just a puppet being used to implement the changes that the globalists desire. I don't believe he's in charge of the government. He's just a face for those behind the scenes that are in the process of transforming America into a socialist nation.
I hope that this November we vote out the incumbents in droves. If we don't, then we're probably through as a country. That's how serious it is. I am going to offer a word of caution to those who believe that President Obama will be a one-term president: don't count your chickens until they're hatched. The mid-term elections haven't taken place yet. If the Republicans gain both Houses of Congress, they're going to perform poorly once they're in charge. Remember the Republican majority when George W. Bush was president. They were pathetic. The Republicans and the Democrats are all in it together. The poor leadership of the Republicans, if they win, will enhance President Obama's approval rating. The question that needs to be asked is who's going to oppose President Obama in the 2012 elections? President Obama isn't going to be beaten by a Democrat-lite Republican. We have no formidable candidates in the Republican Party as of yet to oppose Obama in the 2012 elections. You're not going to throw a Bob Dole or a John McCain as a candidate and expect them to beat President Obama. It's going to require a candidate with solid convictions and a clear vision for America. A spineless Republican isn't going to beat Obama. Mark my words. I'm afraid that's what we may having running against Obama in 2012.
