Obama Once Again Calls It As It Is

President Obama did not say that Harvard Professor Henry Gates' arrest was an example of racial "profiling". What Obama did say was that "the Cambridge police acted stupidly" -- and that, as Bert Williams used to say, -- "is a fact".

Another fact: Obamas approval rating has dropped to 55%. He had a high of 69% when he took office. Americans must not have approved of his health care speach!

I'm waiting for any Republican to get an approval rating over 30%.

Your wait is over, Romney is well over 30%.

Actually, Rasmussen has Obama at 49% overall, as of today. His approval index is now at -8.

At the same time in his first term of presidency, GW Bush was at 63%. He was above 30% approval for his entire second term.

Which Republican has a higher approval rating today than Obama has?

CJP-
For now Obama has the highest approval rating of all politicians. But if he continues to decline, he will be less popular than Bush!

To be fair to Obama, Gallup polls still have him around 55%

Your "If" is the biggest little word in the English language.

Obama will not continue to decline. His numbers will start going up again very soon. Just watch it happen.

What Republican has a higher approval rating today than Obama? Well, let's see, just in the Senate alone:

Tom Coburn: 59%
Kay Hutchison: 58%
Kit Bond: 57%
Jim Inhofe: 52%
John McCain: 53%

Blacks make up 12% of the U.S. population, and they currently give Obama a 95% approval rating. Nope, no racism there, none at all, no siree.

It would be interesting to see an approval index with that element taken out -- bet it'd be an eye-opener.

I predict Obama to continue his dramatic downhill slide. May fluctuate up and down periodically, but overall it will be a downward trend.
