Promises, promises


Ouch!:

President Obama’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

(1) His job approval rating, as measured by Gallup, plunged to a new low of 38 (with 54 percent disapproving) on Tuesday — before “rebounding” to 39/53 today.

(2) His numbers in a crucial swing state he carried in 2008 look even uglier.

(3) Dissatisfaction and buyer’s remorse is on the rise among Iowa and New Hampshire…Democrats.

(4) The housing market remains terribly enervated, and analysts believe 2011 could be its weakest year on record. This underscores this administration’s glaring housing policy failures.

(5) Several central promises of his signature “accomplishment” continue to be exposed as fallacies by non-partisan number crunchers.

(6) Nearly 8 in 10 voters say the country is on the wrong track.

(7) His presidency hit a grim (and, to use his own words, “unpatriotic”) milestone, just two-and-a-half years into his first, and perhaps only, term.

(8) Another trillion-dollar-plus deficit is on the way, and projections of a future course correction are based on deeply unrealistic growth and policy assumptions.

(9) A new poll shows that few Americans believe race relations have improved since 2008. Even many of Obama’s opponents hoped racial progress would be an apolitical dividend of his presidency.

(10) Despite its rosy formulas, the CBO estimates unemployment will remain north of eight percent through 2014.

  1. Obama had a bad week? In Martha’s VInyards?
    Huh!
    He seemed to be having fun. He’s such an actor.

  2. myiq,

    Are you posting this stuff hourly now?

  3. where do they find people like that doofus at the 3:00 mark?

  4. I really do not understand why anyone would believe a word he says.
    Once is on him, twice is on you.

    I hear these people saying , well give him a chance, he hasn’t had time yet, everybody is just picking on him, it is not his fault.

    well
    he has had the time
    part of the job is to work with the opposition
    Yes it is his fault

  5. Perry Versus Palin

    This is an interesting view.

    Ultimately, I believe the older line path – Perry, ultimately may only lead to more of the same – a lot of good talk, but not a lot of change. It may take Sarah Palin, or a Sarah Palin, or some number of them over time to truly re-vitalize the conservative movement in America. But I’m far from certain of it at this point, it’s simply beginning to look that way.

    • I agree with that. If it’s anyone the party machine likes, by definitely it will be more of the same. The only real change can come from someone the parties don’t like, or even better, who scare the shit out of them.

      If the parties or media like them, run away.

      • I thought it was an interesting view coming from the conservative side like that. I’ve also thought that for a long time.

  6. Talk about terrorizing the neighborhood. This thing is cool.

  7. President may have to bail on vacation

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency is keeping a line open to President Obama and the First Family as they vacation on Martha’s Vineyard and Hurricane Irene — growing both in size and strength — appears destined to pelt the Bay State sometime Sunday.

    Sounds like God is trying to get someone’s attention

  8. BTW – we went over 400 posts yesterday and we’re closing in on 300,000 hits.

  9. I want to know who the two guys are who think the country is on the RIGHT track. Were Obama and Biden on the surveyors’ call list?

  10. Bill Moyers told his staff in 2008 that Obama was going to break their hearts (see middle of interview):

  11. I think Irene will be a stinker … she’s already given me a killer headache and we’re not even in her direct path.
    Plus there is a very noisy cricket hiding somewhere in my kitchen!!!!

    IBSP!
