Barack Obama sees worst poll rating drop in 50 years

The decline in Barack Obama's popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.

Yes Kingfish, the messiah complex of our new lord and savior in the White House.

Our new lord and savior for whom our media has gone prostrate. Their treatment of Obama reminds me of a new priest laying prostrate while taking his vows.

Our new lord and savior who is going to rescue our North American economy. Our new lord and savior who has never created, as far as I know, a single job with his own money put up as risk capital.

What is really going to happen is that messiah Obama will inflate the American currency to the point where millions of American baby boomers will lose the purchasing power in their pensions.

A lot of people seem to be afraid to criticize Obama for fear of being branded "racist". Nobody comes back to me on that because I am not white. I am brown. The only thing black about me is my hair, but that is changing to grey and white.

From my perspective, as a non-American, the choices Americans have been making for president have become progressively worse since Bush senior replaced Reagan.

I suppose one could argue that Clinton was an improvement on Bush senior. At least the economy and national finances were in better shape. But I have a hard time forgiving Clinton for what he did to Serbia, which in my mind was every bit as criminal as anything Bush Jr. did in Iraq. The only difference was that Clinton was not vilified for it because no American lives were lost.

" Looks like it wont be long before Americans regret Bush..."

It's well documented that they already do regret Bush.

But I digress....... your comment was obviously a typo. The poll......the poll.... the poll. You posted an article on the poll by a right wing commentator from the Murdock owned Telegraph. I'm familar with this poll. Interesting that you didn't post a link to the actual poll itself. In the headline of your post.......... Hey, look at this fookin poll about Obama.......... but no link to the poll....???????

Com'n Tasco........ You brought it up........you created this post about the poll........ where's the actual poll....?????

.

.........Its useless to argue with ignorance

Seems to be pretty much true of every President starting at least with Bush senior and continuing until now.

Definitely the case in Venezuela right now.

maybe this has also something to do with it:

.........

YESTERDAY ON "ABC-TV" (BETTER KNOWN AS THE ALL BARRACK CHANNEL)
DURING THE "NETWORK SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE".... OBAMA WAS ASKED:

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

"MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM
AND JOIN THE NEW 'UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM' THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON ????"
(BET YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER)
THERE WAS A STONEY SILENCE AS OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND CHOSE NOT TO ANSWER IT !!!
IN ADDITION, A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS."WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT."

AND THEY DID. IT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY ON THE NEWS THAT THE "KENNEDY HEALTH CARE BILL" WAS WRITTEN INTO THE NEW HEALTH CARE REFORM INITIATIVE ENSURING THAT THAT CONGRESS WILL BE 100% EXEMPT !

SO, THIS GREAT NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND I... IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA, HIS FAMILY OR CONGRESS...??

bam m....what about other minority (non-white) groups?

Koreans seem to do well. They work.

Hindus and Sikhs usually do pretty well. They work. In fact, many of the younger ones in North America are being lured back to India's ongoing economic miracle.

bam...I am probably too old to go back to India. I don't want to start a career over again anyway. Anyhow, I have been in Canada since the age of 3. I am nearing the end of a career in banking in this country.

Have you noticed that if your phone Microsoft customer service that you often times find yourself talking to somebody in India?

What chance do you think there is that Bill Gates will set up customer service call centres in Pukeistan? Priority for muslim pakis seems to be to go either to UK or Canada to collect welfare. In the UK they have that low-life paki Anjem Chaudery who has collected British welfare and who said on British TV that the 7/7 subway killings were OK because the victims were not muslim.

Completely agree with you vinod....

We do all our customer service out of india.....in fact..we only fulfill out of the US for locals...and all the customer service calls are direct to india...(cheapest country with native english speakers)...check out QVC and HSN..they do the same...

The queens english is perfect for customer service if you're doing 40 plus mm a month...but never give me a stupid idiot speaking en ebonics trying to help a high end customer....and up-sells...forget it...the only thing they could sell out of a US center would be another social help program.... thank god we have our "christ like" president that is bringing chicago politics to the black house.

yes bam...ghetto street English just wouldn't cut it would it?

That's not culture. It is an absence of culture.

I have noticed that Microsoft has also set up call centres in the Philippines. A lot of Philippinos have come to Canada in recent years to fill entry level jobs that Canadians won't take, and all the ones I have met have a very good command of English. Philippinos seem to speak English more with a North American accent, whereas many of the folks I have spoken to (using Microsoft) in India speak the British Queen's English.

As for me, I feel a little embarrassed speaking to them. I always speak English. I can't really function on a technical level in Hindi at all. Mind you, there are different dialects of Hindi, and English is really the only language that is understood everywhere on the Indian subcontinent.

No offense taken. My English is thoroughly Canadian. I have been here since I was 3.

Actually, the people who are best at making fun of the Indian accent are...well......Indians.

But make no mistake. Those Microsoft employees in India have an excellent command of English. very often it is Oxford English itself.

Polls today said that '48% would vote republican vs. 44% dem'.

After the Fort Hood Terroristica,...... (along with the election of republicans in NJ and Virginia last week)
I'm confident about two things:
One, that the shift back TO SAVE AMERICA that we have known and loved is IN GEAR, FULL TILT....
AND.... That THE BEGINNING OF THE END of political correctness BULLSHIT is finally here.

Socialism will not be turned back until the 16th ammendment (income tax) is repealed and the 10th ammendment (limits of federal powers) is enforced.
We also need to purge the supreme court of those who believe the constitution is just an impediment to the implementation of their fascist philosophy.
