Regarding Obama's "Presidential" performance, according to the latest Rasmussen Poll, "49% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance." That tells me that 49% of this country is whacked out of their every loving minds, either that or they aren't paying attention. Or perhaps they are the clowns who when leaving the voting booths were asked such questions as, "Do you think Barack Obama made a good choice for his Vice President when he chose Sarah Palin", and they answered, "Yes."

What is really scary is that 29% of these Barry freaks "Strongly Approve" of his performance! His performance of what! Continuing to campaign after being sworn in nine months ago? Or was it his apologizing to the World for American arrogance and pride? Perhaps they so strongly approve of how he has insulted and embarrassed our allies while embracing and appeasing our enemies? Maybe this 29% likes the way Obama has done nothing to end North Korean and Iranian nuclear ambitions, how he abandoned our long-range missile defenses to appease the Russians, stayed silent in the defense of the freedom seeking Iranian demonstrators, and placed economic sanctions on the once American friendly democratic government of Honduras for constitutionally expelling their socialist minded ex-president? Perhaps they just strongly approve of being called "a nation of cowards" while the Obama administration seeks criminal indictments against the very Americans who kept us safe the last eight years since 9-11 and in the meantime undermines our war against Islamic terrorism and further endangers the lives of our military? Or maybe they just strongly approve of how Obama bowed so disgracefully to the Saudi King?

This 29% has to be the people who will benefit from Obama's government takeover, pushing through the unwanted and unnecessarily complete overhaul of our nation's health care system, and burdening us with the VAT tax and the cap and trade scam, for really, can there be any other explanations? Well that is unless the Rasmussen people are also polling Russians, the Nobel Committee, the Hollywood elite, ACORN, Islamic terrorists and the Chavez, Castro and Ayers' families. Try asking our soldiers and Marines as their lives hang in the balance in Afghanistan if they "strongly approve" of Obama sitting on his backside pondering the options for the last three months, while they wait for reinforcements, or a complete withdrawal. An educated guess would most probably be that most of this strongly approving 29% work at NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the New York Times and so on and on.

What I also find disturbing is that while 50% now disapprove of Obama's performance only 39% of those polled "Strongly Disapprove" of Obama's performance. So what's holding this 11% back from strongly disapproving? Are there actually people out there who would also strongly disapprove except that they like the way he got the non-racist cop and the racist professor to sit down and have a beer? Or maybe they would disapprove more strongly but they got such a sweet deal on a new KIA in that "cash for clunkers" fiasco?

Although this strongly disapproving 39% gives Obama a dismal "approval index" of minus ten, in my mind that is not even close to the other side of zero where this man should be for how much he has accomplished in running down our Nation.

In the nine months that Obama has been in office he and his Liberal Congress has spent more money than all the other Presidential administrations in our history combined, yet he is not even close in being done in engulfing us and our future generations in a national financial servitude. And folks, when Obama took over we were already broke, busted, flushed out and in the red, but that didn't stop him or his Congressional band of thieves from lining their pockets as they plunged us all further into generational debt.

Obama's continued bailouts where just pumping more money into an already corrupt situation. His takeovers of banks and private industry, including the setting of wages and salaries, were all unconstitutional. Obama's stealfromus plan has not created the jobs that were guaranteed by his administration and after 800 billion dollars the unemployment rate has climbed to a national average of 10%. The shovels may have been ready but the money and the jobs have yet to show up. He is still campaigning for national health care reform even though it is unconstitutional, will break our nations' financial backs even further and The People have stated loud and clear that We don't want his and his Liberal cronies' health care! So what's their problem, are they deaf?

There has been absolutely none of his promised transparency within his administration. If you doubt my saying so, just ask one of his 40 un-vetted czars who answer only to Obama. He falsely promised that the American people would be allowed to read all of the legislation before it was signed, but now not even Congress or Obama are reading these licenses to steal and destroyers of our Freedoms before they are passed and signed into law. In fact this past Friday the Senate Finance Committee voted on and passed a health care bill that hasn't even been written yet! Nobody can read something if it isn't even written, that's being invisible not transparent, yet these should-be convicts are voting it through the Senate!

Obama stated that, "the old ways of Washington are gone", i.e. no more earmarks or pork. But the May 2009 Omnibus spending bill proved beyond a doubt that it was business as usual in DC as "the old ways of Washington" have now gone "whole hog" as that bill contained 9000 bits of pork for "the good old boys." How in the world did we ever let them get away with that oinker?

Now what we keep hearing is that Obama's falling approval ratings are due to his losing the Independent voters. As an Independent voter myself, I say what we should be hearing is that Obama's falling approval ratings are due to his socialistic agenda, his and his Liberal Congress' grand larceny, his inexperience, his anti-American mentality and his inability to make decisions, right or wrong. As your President it remains clear that he wants to continue to be a no-show when it comes to deciding the important issues just like he was during that minute and a half he was actually a junior US Senator. The trouble is that as President he can't just vote "Present" anymore, yet he keeps trying to. Likewise as your President he is more involved in winning his war with Fox News than he is with winning our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan!

I would also like to know what many of these Independent voters were thinking when they voted into office this inexperienced community organizer with so many anti-American associations and why it is still taking them so long to "strongly disapprove" of this interloper? After just nine months of this Obamanation, it is time for all of you to "WAKE UP!" So you didn't like Bush, well get an "I hate Bush" tattoo and move on. Whatever Bush did wrong is no excuse for letting Obama get by with destroying our Liberties and Freedoms. Get over it! If you don't care what he is doing to you personally then try caring about what he is doing to your kids and grandchildren, and their grandchildren! Plead temporary insanity, plead ignorance, plead apathy, I don't care, just help the rest of us stop the insanity before it is too late. All Liberals are nuts, you can tell by simply trying to reason with them. But this Nation is not 50% Liberal, therefore some of you non-Liberals are not crazy, your just confused. So get unconfused, and start paying attention.

God Bless America

Semper Fi,
Mike
