Poll: Now Americans don't like Obama
President Obama finally knows how George W. Bush felt as he lumbered through his second term.
A new Economist/YouGov poll finds that for the first time, more Americans than not don't like Obama.
Long a polling category that has carried and elevated his presidency even as his approval numbers have hit rock bottom just 11 months into his second term, his likability is now underwater.
A year ago, when asked if people liked Obama regardless of his policies, 37 percent said yes, 29 percent no. The new poll finds that 34 percent don’t like Obama, while just 30 percent do.
It’s the same on his favorability rating. A year ago 53 had a favorable opinion of the president. Today 53 percent have an unfavorable opinion. Among independents, 62 percent have an unfavorable opinion.
“One quality that the president has lost stature on is his genuineness and his honesty,” said the pollsters. “Now, as he is under attack for the truthfulness of statements he made before the health care law was passed that anyone who liked their current coverage could keep it, fewer are willing to use the word ‘honest to describe him,” they added.
YouGov said the trend has been seen in other doomed presidencies. “Humphrey Taylor, Chairman of The Harris Poll, said of a previous president's second term slide: ‘First voters lose faith in a president's abilities. Then they lose faith in a president's intentions. Then they just lose faith.’ President Obama's slide has all the earmarks.”

HOPE and CHANGE and endless lies and con jobs as his WALL
STREET DONORS’ LOOTING of AMERICA CONTINUES!
Having presided for the past five years over an unprecedented growth of
social inequality, President Barack Obama, down in the polls because of popular
indignation over his fraudulent health care “reform,” adopted the unlikely pose
of tribune of egalitarian values in a speech on Wednesday at the pro-Democratic
Party Center for American Progress in Washington DC.http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-bankster-owned-president-for-1.html
In typical fashion, Obama decried the growth of inequality in America as though he were an innocent bystander and had absolutely no role in the process he was criticizing. The most remarkable aspect of the speech was the contempt for the intelligence of the American people it expressed.

Income inequality
grows four times faster under Obama than Bush
The study noted that, in the aftermath of the Great Depression,
the US undertook policies “during the New Deal [that] permanently reduced
income concentration until the 1970s.” In contrast, the study noted a striking
absence of any measures to reign in social inequality in the present crisis.
Far from it, the Obama administrations’ bank bailouts, austerity program and
wage-cutting policies have vastly expanded the prevalence of social inequality.

Barack
Obama… the man that conned an entire nation and still called it “CHANGE”… but
was only Bush’s 3rd & 4th terms.
THE YEAR WAS 2009…
At the town hall in New Orleans, Obama appealed for patience. He said, “Change is hard, and big
change is harder.” Is that the excuse? Now where have I heard that before? Oh,
yeah. From George Bush.
The lies, spin and then more lies… THAT IS OBAMA’S STAGED “HOPE and CHANGE”
performance after performance. He’s simply a fraudster… George Bush’s THIRD and
FOURTH TERMS!

BARACK OBAMA, LA RAZA FASCISM and the
CULTURE of DEM CORRUPTION
They Destroyed Our Country
“They
knew Obama was an unqualified crook; yet they promoted him. They knew Obama was
a train wreck waiting to happen; yet they made him president, to the great
injury of America and the world. They understood he was only a figurehead, an
egomaniac, and a liar; yet they made him king, doing great harm to our republic
(perhaps irreparable.)” ALLAN ERICKSON

THE
MAN THAT CALLED HIS HOAX “CHANGE”
'Incompetent' and 'liar' among most frequently used words to
describe the president: Pew Research Center

The larger fear is that
Obama might be just another corporatist, punking voters much as the Republicans
do when they claim to be all for the common guy.
OBAMA
IS A SOCIOPATH. HE CAN LIE OUT OF HIS BIG MOUTH ABOUT ANYTHING AND THEN GO
SERVE HIS CRIMINAL BANKSTER DONORS AND LA RAZA!
But
the latest New York Times/CBS News poll shows something that is a
troublesome sign for the White House. Only 30 percent of
Americans believe that the president “cares a lot” about “the needs and
problems of people” like themselves.
