No wonder the Democratic Party is in freefall

Obama, Man of the People? I Think Not.

By Jerry McConnell Saturday, October 16, 2010

Whenever I see a poll showing Obama’s popular support, I seethe a little
bit at his audacity, and frankly his attitude of taking people for
granted is narcissistic to the extreme. This man is so sure that he
is a ‘man of the people’ and loved by all but a few malcontent
Republicans that he can do no wrong.

I know he gets his news from the biased and also deliberately
under-informed Mainstream Media, (MSM) which is so slanted in his favor
that he actually believes he is adored instead of the pariah that he
really has come to be.

This case of self love and imagined adoration of a fawning public is
strictly in his own narrow mind as poll after poll proves on a daily
basis. Take the Rasmussen poll of January 2009 when he first took office
he had a 62% Approval rating. But by September 2010, it reported
that 44% of the nation’s voters Strongly DISAPPROVE of Obama’s
performance, while only 27% Strongly APPROVE. In poll terms, that
indicates Obama to have a negative Presidential Approval Index rating of
Minus 17.

That is a negative rating in ANY person’s opinion and it is an opinion
from a professional and well qualified polling service, not a part of the
MSM. Yet he keeps on smiling and going against the majority of the
country’s citizens. I didn’t say the ‘country’s residents’ because
that would include the 20 or more million illegal aliens within our
borders who now reside here without proper permission and are not
included in the poll numbers.

Obama has a history of being on the wrong side of important issues with
regard to a great majority of our country’s citizens. Phyllis
Schlafly of EagleForum.com in her August 27, 2010 column states that “the
Democrats wring their hands over Barack Obama’s tone deafness about
political reality.” She added that while it is entertaining to
Americans “their despair about Obama is so painful that they are even
calling on George W. Bush t come back and rescue Obama from his own
mistakes.”

But he has given this country so much negative leadership as to even call
it ‘no leadership at all’. His zealous desire to spend money is
becoming legend. It’s as though he has come into money for the
first time in his life and he is going to spend every dime of it not
matter what.

He is enjoying being the lucky guy who just won the multi-million dollar
lottery, or in his case, the multi-TRILLION dollar lottery, perhaps more
precisely the LOOTERY of taxpayers’ dollars, probably little of which had
been paid in taxes by himself. He is looking to buy out just about
any major corporation or financial system or healthcare organization and
under the guise of “reforming” or “restructuring” it, bring it to the
brink of Destruction and bankruptcy.

Job losses in the multi-millions are just a small nuisance factor and
another reason to blow away more millions and billions trying to adjust
to a more favorable level. But like his campaign rhetoric looking
for change, it is not happening except in a negative way. Not very
bright.

Or as Phyllis Schlafly stated in her EagleForum.org article “Obama Versus
Majority Public Opinion” on August 27, 2010, “The Democrats are reluctant
to admit the truth that Obama is not a smart politician.

Obama is a radical ideologue determined to “transform America” into the
socialist mold regardless of voter retaliation against Democratic
candidates.”

Schlafly cites his unpopular moves that have caused his plummeting
ratings such as his unprofessional version of medical healthcare that
according to the latest polls is disapproved by about “60 percent of the
people and various states are opting for legislation that would make any
mandatory provisions of the healthcare bill invalid.”

And Obama’s strong desire to get Congressional action for a law granting
amnesty to the roughly estimated 20 million illegal aliens who are
burrowed in here in the United States is another example of his flying in
the face of the public which is against such action. In fact, even
a “CBS poll found that 57 percent of Americans think the Arizona
immigrant law was “about right” while Rasmussen polled and found 65
percent of Americans favored the law. A Zogby poll found that 58
percent of Americans nationwide want their own state to adopt a law
similar to Arizona’s.”

Schlafly points out another area where Obama and the country are at great
odds and that is on the subject of a Muslim mosque being built near the
site of Ground Zero in New York City “even though 61 percent of Americans
are against it.”

This litany of so many incidences of flaunting his assumed authority and
disdain for the people who elected him, and believe me, there are many
more that could be shown, has to make a person wonder if he is in the
same world as the rest of us. Has the grandeur and glitz of the
“rich life” gone so far to his head that he actually now BELIEVES that he
is some anointed savior of mankind?

No wonder the Democratic Party is in freefall and knows not where they
will land after November 02, 2010. That’s what comes from placing
too much trust in an unknown factor.
