Obama's ratings are starting to look a lot like Bush's ratings, so what's the deal? I thought he could walk on water, at least that's what liberals told us. So why are his approval ratings dropping like flies?

He simply isn't what he campaigned to be. The mask has come off. He has been exposed. People see he is a joke and not a leader.

Let's say his numbers say he's now treading water. This would mean the Republicans have on cement shoes.

Default This is not even fair.

No way is Barack Obama the worst president we've ever had. The very thought of it is ridiculous.

He is probably only the worst president in the last 40 years or so.

Why are his ratings so low? He got those ratings the old-fashioned way: he earned them.

How could you possibly put "Republicans sabotaged him at every turn" in the poll when Democrats had a lock on the presidency and both houses of Congress for the first two years? Republicans were little more than tolerated for the first two years and had little say so in anything that happened during that time.

As far as I can tell, people are waking up to the fact that the emperor has no clothes and that's why his ratings are in the toilet.

Makes me laugh when people say Rebubs are sabatoging him. A good leader will work to get compromise and change ship. If he can't get what he wants then he has to give more. Maybe he is a bad negotiator?

A good leader does not whine and say how hard it is, but they lead by their actions. If it is too tough he should step aside and let someone else lead...we need a strong president, not a whiner in chief...

Gallup has congress at 13 percent approval, according to Gallup. How can you expect a man to reasonably work with a group that is less than a third popular than him?

It's simple, he has exhausted the patience of the people who voted for him. The grand, pie-in-the-sky promises he made have not only not occurred, but the exact opposite has been the reality. To quote former vice president al Gore, "Everything that should be down is up; everything that should be up is down"

Unemployment is high, the economy is stagnated, inflation is on the rise, the national debt has soared, people are holding 0bama accountable.

He got his ratings because he deserves them as one of the worst Presidents we have ever had. One term and out.
