well.lets get this straight
yes his approval rating is bad, but thats due basically to the economy....ANY president would have those numbers if the UE rate is 9%..if that UE ratye improves to 7or 6%, Obama will probably be re=elected
In other words, Obama is supposedly a success, if he gets unemployment back to where it was WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE, when he and other liberals (as well as the public at large) were screaming as how high unemployment was during Bush's last year.
Obama isn't a bystander, with regards to this economy. His boneheaded policies are responsible for the unemployment rate RISING the way it has.
His stimulus was a flop; we now know he gave half-a-trillion dollars that went belly up, just two years later. You could give that much money to two stadiums, filled with CRACKHEADS, and they wouldn't blow it in two years.
ObamaCare was a flop, which contributed to the Dems, getting their clocks cleaned. BTW, unemployment was 9.7% at the start of 2010 and 9.8% at the end of 2010. It only dropped to 9.5%, because of the Census jobs.
The unemployment rate will be nowhere near 8% anytime soon. In fact, it's projected to be at least 9% for all of 2012. That means that Obama will have had at least 9% unemployment for ALL BUT FOUR MONTHS of his presidency.
And, that means that he will join his fellow Democrats, as they take that repeat trip to the woodshed in 13 months.
