Bad numbers and Obamites apologizing; Could it get worse for the "O" man? by Randy Wyles Executive Editor 21 August 2009 He's been steadily sinking like an old rowboat with wood rot - tragic when you realize that old rowboat is the Ship of State. Barry has gone from a 65 percent approval rating the day after the inauguration to a 49 percent approval rating as of today. At this rate, the "O" man should be in the upper thirties by the end of his first year in office. Should it continue, this steady decline would put Barry in the low twenties by this time next year - as the country gets ready to head to the polls for the mid-term elections.Understand, this is not an "up-one-week-down-another" situation. According to Rasmussen Reports, Obama has been in a steady decline almost since the moment he put his hand on the Bible. There are a number of issues at play - the handling of health care reform and the controversy over closing Gitmo, just to name two. The ineptness of the Democrats on the Hill hasn't helped, but Barry has to take some of the blame on that, too. The Dems are in control there and, by virtue of being in the Oval, Barry is the Head "Dem" in Charge. Yet, he's losing support within his own party on the health care reform measures he bullied through the Capitol and he has divided the country like no other president since, well, his self-proclaimed mentor, Abe Lincoln. But Barry isn't the Great Emancipator - he's become the Great Emaciator. The American economy is as weak as it was during the Depression. And Obama supporters are beginning to regret their choice at the polls last November - with websites like I Am Sorry I Voted For Obama.com popping up all over the Internet. We tried to warn you guys, but sometimes a person just has to learn the hard way. Is there anything Obama can do to turn things around? Well, he could resign - but I'm sure that's not going to happen. Right now, about all Barry can do is "hope" he gets a "change" in his luck. Meanwhile, he needs to bail faster - the water in the Ship of State is still rising.
