Job fears grip voters, Obama ratings crumble


By Richard Cowan
WASHINGTON | Tue Aug 24, 2010 6:16pm EDT
(Reuters) - More Americans now disapprove of President Barack Obama than approve of him as high unemployment and government spending scare voters ahead of November's congressional elections, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday.

In the latest grim news for Obama's Democrats, 72 percent of people said they were very worried about joblessness and 67 percent were very concerned about government spending.

The unemployment rate of 9.5 percent and the huge budget deficit are dragging down the Democrats and eating away at Obama's popularity only 20 months after he took office on a wave of hope that he could turn around the economy.

Spin, spin, spin.  Obama isn't fit to tie Reagan's shoe laces.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

It's like they're not even trying anymore.

No, DUmmies, it's more like Clinton's 1994 midterms--you know, huge tax increases, socialized medicine, huge jump to the left...

jump to the left...

And then a step to the right. With your hand on your hips. You bring your knees in tight...

It does seem Obama is doing his own version of The Time Warp, doesn't it ? ... Warping right back to when Clinton blew it*..

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.
