Obama's Popularity is Dropping.. to a new low.. Not Unexpected

Monday, June 22, 2009

As predicted even before he was elected President, Obama made some very hard decisions as to how he was going to implement policies, especially the ones that would not be popular with the American people. Nevertheless, he was elected President of the United States, in an unprecedented and historic election where the American people elected a black president.
So now the honeymoon is truly over, as President Obama is now watching his high levels of popularity decline. The American people now have significant doubts about his initiatives, and have decided to support different agendas and different policies that they must have supported before. Why? Maybe because they were thinking that reform would help the country over night. The president has been in office just half of his first year, and now people believe that they need to see things get better already. They do not have the patience that they must have because the situation is too serious and requires difficult legislation that must pass a congress who is closely scrutinizing everything that comes their way. Yet, the approval rating according to the Rasmussen Reports show a 56%-43% approval rating. At least a third disapprove of the president's performance. It appears that he has no Republican support and a good chunk of his Independent support seems to be slipping away from him.
People are upset. Many have lost their jobs, their retirement savings, along with not having health insurance to protect their families.
President Obama is not ignoring the problems, and has said repeatedly that the cure to such a disastrous world we live in today has been found, but will take a while for the cure to take effect. The job market is worsening, and the stock markets are continuing to decline. But according to Obama, the market must drop before it rises and it will take time for this country to retire.
The situation is bleak right now, but nevertheless, President Obama is doing his best to provide legislation to get the country back on its feet. He had to assist with the bailout of banks, automakers and big businesses.
Patience is a virtue here that is completely true in this case. People must be patient for the economy to turn around. What everyone must realize is that everyone is involved in this economic crises, rich and poor alike.
