The woman who told President Obama that defending his plans to fix the battered U.S. economy "exhausted" her now finds herself among the 9.6% of Americans who are unemployed. breitbart.tv

He is a coward. He is not man enough to stand up and accept responsibility for his actions. No wonder he is nauseating to look at.

Lowest ever: Obama job approval sinks to 39%, as even Democrats' support melts away November 23, 2010 \| 3:22 am latimesblogs.latimes.com President Obama has passed the Big 4-0 -- going the wrong way. Turns out voters were not simply satisfied to spank the Democrat and his party in the Nov. 2 midterm elections with historic losses in the House of Representatives. Obama's job approval rating as calculated by the Zogby Poll has now sunk to 39%, a new low for his 22-month presidency that began with so much hope and excitement and poll numbers up around 70. As recently as Sept. 20, his job approval was 49%. A whopping 60% now disapprove of his job, up from 51% disapproval Sept. 20. Obama now trails in hypothetical 2012 matchups against Republicans Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and the next Bush, Jeb. And, oh, my! Lookee here! Obama has even fallen into a statistical tie with none other than Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor. How embarrassing that is because other polls have shown a majority of Americans believe she is unqualified for the presidency. So it appears many have now decided, on second thought after a nearly two-year test drive, Obama looks that way too. Obama began losing the support of independents in the summer of 2009, as he responded to polls showing voter concerns focused on the economy by staging 59 town hall meetings on healthcare. Independents were a crucial part of his coalition win in 2008 but have now dwindled to 39%. Only 6% of Republicans, not surprisingly, approve of Obama's job performance. But younger voters, also crucial in the ex-state senator's convincing defeat of John McCain, now approve by only 42%. Nearly 7 in 10 likely voters say the country is on the wrong track, rarely a good sign for incumbents. But, Zogby notes, perhaps most ominous for the president is that he's now losing support among his own party people. His approval plopped nearly 10% in just one week, from 78% down to 72% in Zogby's latest read. Obama, John Zogby writes, "is failing to please more than one-fourth of his own party’s voters. This is a perilous position for the President. "Conventional wisdom calls for him to reach for the center and assume that Democrats will stay with him in 2012. But as we saw in the mid-terms, Democrats can't win without strong turnout from the young and minorities, both of which are demographics that need more motivation than others to vote." Former governor Romney fares the best against Obama (44-38%), then comes Gingrich (43%-39%), then another former governor, Jeb Bush (40%-38%), who says he is not running. Palin ties (40%-41%). Obama does, however, destroy developer Donald Trump (39%-29%) and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (32%-13%). (A separate Quinnipiac Poll Monday found Obama in dead heats with either Romney or former Gov. Mike Huckabee.)

you sir, are high. I have repeatedly said that Obama, like Bush and Clinton are only nominally influential on the economy and usually in a delayed manner. I have never blamed Obama for any of the wars in the middle east. The only things that he gets blamed for are his actions. I am terrified as to where Obama is leading this country, but realistically, he can't be blamed for much yet...nor can he be given credit for much. However, you do give him credit for all that is good that has happened in the past two years. I have pointed out the absurdity of your claims that obama got us out of the recession that you blame on Bush....only to blame Bush again when the economy didn't recovery like you thought it would. There is one word to describe the vast majority of your posts on SI....."disingenuous"
