Day By Day December 4, 2009 – The Big Suck

The problem with Barack Obama as a POL has been his policy statements always come with an expiration date. But, now, after having been in office almost a year, the President must actually be held accountable for the policy decisions he and his Administration have made.

And, the American public is NOT happy with Obama.

Look at the latest polling with 40 per cent strongly disapproving of the way Barack Obama is performing his role as President:

Today, the national unemployment rate improved 0.2 per cent to a national average of 10.0%. If the economy improves, so will President Obama’s popularity. But, economic forecasters are saying economic prospects for the coming year are unfavorable.

The economy will have to improve in a major way and quickly, if the Congressional Democrats wish to maintain their majority in the Congress next year. As for the President, his re-election is currently at risk.
