President Obama: One Year After Winning it All

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

One year ago today, Senator Barack Obama became President-elect Obama. He and his team had run nearly a flawless campaign and were about to embark on what turned out to be a nearly flawless transition effort. By Inauguration Day, the man who had won 53% of the vote saw his overall job approval rating soar to 65%.

As expected, once the campaigning was over and the governing began, those numbers began to slip.

As president, Obama lost the support of Republicans in February during the debate over the stimulus package. Over the summer, economic concerns and the health care debate cost the president support among unaffiliated voters. By October, a month-by-month review showed that Obama’s overall job approval had slipped to 48% among Likely Voters.

I was about to post a new thread but it's along the same theme so:

A year after winning, Obama deploys some (how shall I put it?)... strategery...

It's Bush's fault!

Quote
MADISON, Wis. (Reuters) - A year after his historic election, President Barack Obama sought to remind Americans on Wednesday the biggest problems he is grappling with -- from the economy to the war in Afghanistan -- are the legacy of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

That blame Bush BS has worn out it's welcome.  It's time for 0Bama to try and be a man, or at least act like it and take some responsibility.

Heh. Ya think?  :rotf:

I'll go ahead and start holding my breath on the whole "responsibility" from Obama thing.

Something tells me that someone needs to step into the Oval Office, bitchslap Barruh (figuratively) a few times, and inform him that LEADERS fix problems, not blame.

That will never happen with the current people in charge of the DNC.
