According to the latest Hill Poll, two-thirds of voters say that President Obama has kept his 2008 promises during his presidential campaign that year. The only difference was those promises were for the worse. The new poll found 56% of likely voters believe President Obama's first term has transformed this nation in a negative way, compared to 35% who believed his leadership has changed America for the better. The results signals broad unease with the American public's mood in regards to President Obama's leadership in this country. It also makes it difficult for many of the Democratic incumbents seeking re-election this November. Conducted for The Hill by Pulse Opinion Research, the poll comes in the wake of last month's recent Supreme Court decision that upheld President Obama's signature achievement by the signing of the Affordable Care Act in 2010.
Anybody that paid any attention to some of the statements that then-candidate Barack Obama made in 2008 should've recognized that the change Obama was talking about when he was speaking of transforming the country that he wasn't speaking of turning our country in the direction that our nation's founders spoke of during Colonial times. When he told Joe the Plumber that he believed in redistribution of wealth, it's obvious that President Obama had contempt for our nation's economic system. He showed that he was a socialist by those statements he made on the campaign trail. The Obama administration has been working toward that end since his inauguration in January 2009. The president has been very successful in implementing his agenda. It's just not the agenda that some of the voters had hoped when they voted for him. The other group of voters who voted for him were wanting free healthcare, free housing, and welfare benefits. They are bums. They were wanting the government to supply all their physical needs. That's part of President Obama's voting base.
