From a high of 65% approval to a low of 44% thus far, Obama has been on a steady and record setting decline from the very beginning of his time in office.
Midknight Review sees 8 issues as those driving his negatives. More than that, any one of the following is fully capable of bringing him down (as in "out of office after one term") :
1. Jobs: His own web site, Recovery.gov, listed the total number of jobs created or saved at 640,329.18 for the entire year of 2009. This is Obama's own estimate in spite of his campaign-style rhetoric. He has admitted that 325,000 of these jobs are teacher positions already being held. The remainder are union jobs. None of the total -- 640,329.18 -- are accompanied by detailed and dependable confirmation. Some experts are projecting a slight upswing in employment through April due to the hiring of more than 1 million ACORN types to conduct the 2010 Census. Before the end of the year, however, many fear an increase in unemployment to 10.8% or higher. Others, of course, predict declining unemployment to 9%. Time will tell. What is certain, it appears, is that the jobs market or lack thereof will be a campaign issue for quite some time.
2. Fuel: while Obama touts green jobs, he is doing nothing to prevent increased oil and gas prices. Gas prices at the pump, as reported by FoxNews, has increased $0.95 since Obama took office. Here in California, the increase is closer to $1.30 or $3.02 a gallon. We all know what happens when the cost of gas-at-the-pump gets to $4.50 per gallon.
3. KSM and the New York trial of 5 terrorist when such was not required by law. Just today, a judge threw out evidence in another terrorist related trial because the evidence was not properly acquired on the battlefield !!!! This is a huge problem for Obama. The trial may continue throughout Obama's first term, at a cost to New York City of more than $230 million per year.
4. Terror and Homeland Security: if a serious and sizable attack succeeds when such was nowhere in sight during the Bush years. Obama is done for. No further comment is necessary, here.
5. China: if the Asian world declines to further support our addiction to spending what we do not have, the damage done to the economy via Obama's $12 trillion in spending thus far will become more than obvious to the voting public.
6. Global cooling: if the globe continues to cool, a process noted as recently as 1999, the Cap and Trade agenda of this administration will be weakened and access to a large and every increasing tax pool cut off, spelling disaster for Obama's transfer of wealth policies. The voting looters and loafers of this nation will desert him by the thousands, spelling the end of his claim to fame.
7. Foreign Policy: Midknight Review thinks this to be one of his greatest problems. He is in over his head as regards foreign policy, something Hillary had predicted during the Democrat primary season. We now know that she was "spot on." Serious problems are mounting with Iran, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Chavez and his military build-up in Venezuela, N Korea, and Putin's imperialist Russia.
8. AfPac War: Obama is much to compromised to deliver this war into the victory column. If he does not pull out in 18 months, he will alienate millions of his anti-war base. If he does, he will lose that war. Either way, because he has tried to please both sides of this issue, he is now in irreversible electoral trouble.
