Experts: Public Sick Of Prez Complaining ............................................................................................... The Boston Herald Matt Stout Friday, December 27, 2013 Excerpt: President Obama’s tanking approval rating in newly released polls shows Americans are tired of his whining, according to some experts, who also see a fighting chance for Republicans to rack up coast-to-coast victories in the 2014 midterm congressional races. “We think of presidents as being morale leaders ... and he goes out and complains,” said Richard Benedetto, a retired White House correspondent and a journalism professor at American University. “He complains about the fact that he doesn’t get enough cooperation from the other side. ‘It’s not my fault, it’s the Republicans’ fault.’ And that message gets old for the American public. ... It’s not a good sign for Democrats in Congress going into next year.” A Gallup poll released yesterday showed Obama’s approval rating at a paltry 39 percent, its lowest since October 2011, when just 38 percent of Americans gave him a thumbs-up. Even more troubling, Benedetto said, are the 54 percent of Americans Gallup says disapprove of the job Obama is doing. “That’s high,” Benedetto said. “The public just doesn’t feel good. I think it needs a president to lift them out of it ... and President Obama is not living up to that standard.” The botched rollout of Obamacare has helped drag the president’s rating down for months; since early November, he’s struggled to keep his head above 40 percent. snip
