Barack Obama Misery Index … Americans Mood At Lowest Level in 2 Years

Welcome to more “Hope & Change” from President Barack Obama … The Obama “MISERY” index.

As Barack Obama is out on the west coast hob-knobbing with libs and Hollywood types in full campaign mode blaming the previous administration for all the ills of the United States, America’s mood is at the lowest level in two years. However, Obama has yet to take responsibility for his failed policies and agenda of the past 2+ years of his presidency. There is no one else to blame but Obama for the rising gas prices, the out of control spending, the continued lack of jobs being created and the record federal deficit. The buck stops with him and he will be held accountable in 2012.

Americans are more pessimistic about the nation’s economic outlook and overall direction than they have been at any time since President Obama’s first two months in office, when the country was still officially ensnared in the Great Recession, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Amid rising gas prices, stubborn unemployment and a cacophonous debate in Washington over the federal government’s ability to meet its future obligations, the poll presents stark evidence that the slow, if unsteady, gains in public confidence earlier this year that a recovery was under way are now all but gone.

Under Obama the United States has developed an entirely new type of “misery index”.  One that Americans are feeling on a personal level with foreclosures, bankruptcies, unemployment and pain at the gas pump. All of these economic issues have caused Americans to be pessimistic about Barack Obama. As the Gateway Pundit emphasizes, “Disapproval of Mr. Obama’s handling of the economy has never been worse, up to 57 percent of Americans.”

Obama at 42% Job Approval Rating in Latest Gallup Poll … 50% Disappove

President Barack Obama has sunk to a 5 month low in the latest Gallup Poll, down, down, down …

According to the most recent Gallup poll, Barack Obama has dipped to a 5 month low of 42% job approval, while 50% disapprove. With Obama’s recent displays of a lack of leadership in the budget debate or the Libyan war, one has to wonder how “The One” has not dipped into the 30′s.

The White House and Obama can dismiss the polling data all they want; however, for an incumbent President who just announced his reelection bid for 2012, this cannot be a good sign. Barack Obama will suffer horrendous polling numbers if the gas prices continue to climb, which they are doing, and the economy continuesto falter, which it is. That does not even take into account having to defend Obamacare and the flip-flops of his 2008 campaign promises.  Today’s initial unemployment claims are hardly a good sign for a President who will be held accountable in 2012 for the economy and the lack of jobs created during his first term.

The White House routinely dismisses polling data. But it’s a troublesome footnote as the president kicks off his re-election effort Thursday.

Obama’s low approval rating is not the result of the major speech he delivered on Wednesday. Some of the polling took place before he delivered the speech. Rather, a Gallup official believes the results reflect broad public dissatisfaction with the economy.

“You can never discount the economy as a reason,” said Frank Newport, editor-in-chief of the Gallup Poll. “It’s important to remember that Americans are down on the economy right now. We saw some glimmers of uptick, but that’s faded. And there’s no way that can’t help but rub off” on the president.

Obama’s continued lack of leadership and refusal to take on difficult issues like the budget will only further cause his polling numbers to crater. The United States has a budget crisis and all Obama did in his partisan speech is kick the can down the road. It is becoming obvious to many, including those who voted for him, that Barack Obama just is not ready for prime time and is over his head in the job.

Gas Climbing Toward $5.00 a Gallon & Trump Says It’s Obama’s Fault

Thanks Barack Obama …

The price of gas keeps going up and up under the Obama Administration and the Obamamessiah cannot blame GWB for this one. The national average for regular unleaded is now as $3.76, up 19 cents from March 18, 2011 and up 91 cents from a year ago.  Some energy experts are saying that the price of gasoline could reach $5 per gallon is possible by Memorial Day or sometime in summer. So much for America’s summer vacations thanks to Obama’s policies. Hey Barack, you can bet that the people will not forget this any time soon, especially during the next Presidential election.

Donald Trump has chimed in on the ever increasing cost of gasoline and has roundly blamed President Barack Obama for the situation. Trump has been a thorn in the side of Obama lately and has obviously gotten under his skin. So much that Obama’s minions have felt it necessary to comment on Trump and claim he hasn’t a chance of being President.

Real estate developer Donald Trump blames President Obama for the rising price of oil, warning, “this country can never, ever recover” if oil prices continue to go up.

“That’s really the life’s blood of the country,” Trump told CNBC in a phone interview on Monday. The Trump Organization chairman, who says he’s considering running for president, plans to decide “before June” on the matter.

He contended that Obama is not a leader and is “in bed with these (OPEC) people. He doesn’t speak the way you have to speak to them.”

Add gas prices to the long list of failures of Obama. When combined with Obamacare, the economy, government spending, out of control record deficits and his overall weak leadership … the Lonely Conservative makes a valid point that the MSM obviously ignores, the GOP could run Bugs Bunny against Obama and win. It took Americans 8 years to develop an anti-Bush mentality that unfortunatley led to an Obama presidency. However, , it has taken Obama less than two years to be fed the One and make him a One term “One”der.

The Complete Out of Touch & Elitist President … Obama: “I Remember What It Was Like Pumping Gas”

Let them Eat Cake … “I remember what it was like pumping gas” …as he laughs. Nice joke Mr. President. Obama states that there is nothing he can do to lower current oil prices. Really Mr. President, nothing? Is it you can’t do or just do not want to do?

“I remember that,” Obama added.

“I’m just going to be honest with you. There’s not much we can do next week or two weeks from now,” Obama said earlier today about gas prices.

Unbelievable that a President can joke about the skyrocketing gas prices that “We the People” pay. What is wrong with this clown that he jokes about the pain that people pay at the pump and then blames us for having gas guzzlers.  The One cannot blame this one on GWB, the increase in gas prices have occurred under Obama. Isn’t it interesting that the AP completely changed their original story about Obama and his gas price remarks. How unlike the state run media. However, what the AP forgets is that we are in the age of the Internet and Instapundit has the original story (screen shot) that they have taken down scrubbed.

“Obama needled one questioner who asked about gas prices, now averaging close to $3.70 a gallon nationwide, and suggested that the gentleman consider getting rid of his gas-guzzling vehicle.”

Obama: Do as I Say, Not as I Do Green Vehicle Policy … Presidential Limo & Security Vehicles Exempt

Green for thee, not for me …

Yet more hypocritical policies from President Barack Obama … Presidential limousine, security vehicles exempt from fed ‘green’ vehicle policy. Should we have expected anything less?  Barack Obama stated  last week that he would use the government’s purchasing power to promote fuel efficient cars and stating that  100% of new government vehicles would be ‘green’ by 2015. All will be “green” except Obama’s limo and a Secret Service vehicles.

Barack Obama’s presidential limousine will be exempt from his drive to make all government vehicles environmentally friendly, the Secret Service has revealed.

The president last week insisted that he would use the government’s purchasing power to promote fuel efficient cars – insisting 100 per cent of new government vehicles would be ‘green’ by 2015.

But the Secret Service said that the directive would not apply to some vehicles used for law enforcement and security including the president’s Cadillac limousine.

How typical and convenient. So this is what “Hope & Change” looks like.
