Obama Second Worst in first 100 Days

For some reason, the media are making a massive deal about Obama’s first 100 days.

Gateway pundit has a couple of items that aren’t making the news.

1. He’s the most reviled president after Clinton at this point in his presidency.

If you look past his cheerleading squad in the mainstream media you’ll see that President Thin-Skin is the second most reviled president in the last 40 years.
James Delingpole at The Telegraph reported:

It’s official: Barack Obama is the second most reviled newbie president of the last forty years. A gallup survey today published in the Washington Times shows Obama to have an approval rating of just 56 per cent. The only president to have performed worse than that at the end of his first 100 days in office was Bill Clinton – and only then because it happened to coincide with the spectacular mishandling of the Waco siege, which might reasonably be laid at the door of ATF and FBI incompetence rather than presidential negligence.

Obama’s low approval ratings, however, are all of his own making. He campaigned as a healing moderate who would take the US beyond partisan politics and restore the economy; instead he has terrified all those Americans who rightly abhor the idea of adopting European socialist, with the most sweeping advance of the progressive agenda and growth in the power of the state since the days of FDR’s New Deal.

2. An online poll gave him an “F” at MSNBC. Sadly, even with 2.7m votes it wasn’t a scientific survey!

3. Democrats are now losing support at congressional level too.

Rasmussen reported:

For just the second time in more than five years of daily or weekly tracking, Republicans now lead Democrats in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 41% would vote for their district’s Republican candidate while 38% would choose the Democrat. Thirty-one percent (31%) of conservative Democrats said they would vote for their district’s Republican candidate.

Overall, the GOP gained two points this week, while the Democrats lost a point in support.

I’m quite sure that Obama could do better, however his actions are quite consistent with what we all knew he was – a woefully inexperienced politician who is all polish and no substance.
