10. I don't mean I'm positively impressed, more like impressed that Manson had such control over
his groupies, that sort of thing.

8. I do disapprove of the job he has done thus far.
No new job creation (except in Afghanistan, but that's a long commute for American workers).
Billions of tax dollars to bank criminals.
The re-appointment of Ben Bernanke ("Man of the Year")
Escalation of war in Afghanistan.
Making war inside of Pakistan.
Opposing the re-importation of medication by Americans who desperately need costs reduced.
And now this corporate enslavement by fiat of the American people to the insurance cartel.

Big disappointment.

27. Don't Forget He's Already Surpassed "The Idiot" When It Comes To
OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS like Blackwater to help with THE WAR!! And THIS is something he AND Hillary campaigned AGAINST!

But what does he do?? He contracts even more! I'm getting more and more speechless these days! Not to mention all the deals he made with BIG PHARMA too!! He didn't want negotiations with Canada from what I'm hearing on MSNBC!

Perhaps someone else has a link to this, I heard it earlier... but it's "din-din" time and I MUST go cook!!

9. If you disapprove of Obama's job, I recommend you recommend this poll
It's something maybe people should be aware of. Just a thought.

11. Finally, a well constructed poll. Not commenting on results, just how you put it together.

14. Don't really know
I had no great expectations. In my honest opinion, it is still too early to tell what Obama's legacy will be. I think that a year is still too short of a time to expect a lot to get done especially considering what the last administration had done to this country.

I have been reading DU lately and wondering if half (or more) of the people on here are new to politics or just have not paid attention to their government in the last few decades.

16. This is a temperature taking, not a definitive statement.
(of course.)

For me, I can only say that the way the Obama administration has been handling health care reform gives me nothing to approve of. And this is true of virtually everything they're doing. I want to see more forcefulness for reforms we desperately need. I'm getting less and less hopeful (and I choose that word carefully) that we'll be seeing it.

23. Great. If we don't matter, don't complain about how we "ruined" elections in 2010
by not supporting these thugs.

Just remember: we aren't the base; we don't matter.

31. The base supports him unconditionally, right? He's not Jesus
Maybe President Bush's base is his base, the very wealthy, Wall Street, Military Industry, Insurers, Big Banks?

People thought the far right religious whackos were Bush's base and then he betrayed them as well and the stories were that WH staff regularly laughed at and ridiculed the whackos.

Thanks for pointing this out. We progressives just think we were his base because of our efforts but I can bet Rahm laughs at us, and maybe one might suspect, President Obama does too.

At least he sent me an impressive Seasons Greetings card. Wonder if he knows some of his organizers are none too happy right now? I call and write regularly, even talk to real volunteers so I am thinking they know and are none too concerned. Yeah, talk us out of the base at your own risk. I am sure you will welcome many former Republicans with open arms, already have. I already blame DLC'ers and moderates for 2010 losses.

20. I've gone from "somewhat disapprove" to "strongly disapprove" in the last few days...
Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 02:02 PM by Blasphemer
He has thoroughly disappointed me. His Presidency is shaping up to be an empty one.

28. LOL! "Who is President Obama?" Fucking classic DU poll choice!
And an extremely legitimate question these days.

I sure haven't seen the guy I voted for lately.
Where did HE go?

29. 76% currently disapprove or strongly disapprove.
Now that interesting to see given all the
"he can do no wrong" posting lately.
