1. Some people didn't vote FOR Obama, they voted against Bush. It's like when people leave NY for North Carolina because they can't stand the snow and the taxes but pay very little attention to what North Carolina offers them...or should I say doesn't offer them and then they whine and want to move back 6 months after they're there.
2. Lofty visionary inspirational rhetoric works in campaigns but not when the rubber meets the road. He has been unable to articulate details of his massive spending plans because he has never had to articulate details in his career. People aren't just not buying what he's selling. People aren't sure he knows what the heck he's selling.
3. Obama promised change. People projected every possible personal change they wanted to see, onto him, and now he's not delivering. That's the voters' fault. If they would have looked into what he had accomplished rather than what he was promising to accomplish they would have seen a very thin resume. They didn't want to look. The media refused to look.
4. People are rightfully suspicious when someone tries to ram things down their throat, one right after the other. Voting on bills no one has read and that whole "hurry up and buy this lemon I'm trying to sell you" reminds them of used car salesman talk.
5. Congress hasn't been appreciated in years but with a Democrat Congress and a Democrat President, Nancy Pelosi's wackiness or Barney Frank's wackiness, for example, becomes Obama's de facto wackiness. Her disapprovals rub off on him. Every dumb thing she says and does is a reflection of him, true or not true. He's going to have to throw this grandmother under the bus, too.
6. People don't like it when the President presumes they're stupid and have to be treated like children being told to take their medicine without questioning because Dad decides it's what's good for them. Seniors, the group he's having a lot of trouble with now, especially don't like being treated like children. Urban elitism doesn't play well outside of the big cities, either. Mr Arugula is like Alice in Blunderland when it comes to suburbia and rural America and the urban elite media doesn't help.
7. You can polish that Stimulus Act like a shiny apple but people know it was one huge porkfest, a place for every Congressman to hide every earmark they ever wanted. What does the National Healthcare database have to do with creating jobs? What does a turtle bypass have to do with creating jobs? What does prisoner tattoo removal have to do with creating jobs? And, so on. And with only 15% of the "stimulus money" spent, the president is patting himself on the back and trying to hold that up as the reason why he says the economy is recovering...and thinks we're so stupid we're buying it.
8. ...of big government intrusion into personal lives and decisions when people over age 25 can't even name a government program that works effectively or efficiently...including, apparently, the President with his post office gaffe. Now he may be used to working with "urban dependents" who wanted to be taken care of in his community organizing days but be assured, most people do not want the government to tell them what food to put in their mouth, how warm or cool their homes should be, what kind of cars and light bulbs they need to buy, when they get a pain pill instead of hip surgery and how they should control their spending (for their own good) all while dad's spending like a drunken sailor.
9. Chicago goon moves on film. Using the unions and other organizations to make people physically afraid. Report to the commandant your fishy e-mails, websites and casual conversations. The czars to skirt scrutiny.
10. Hypocrisy. You save on fuel while I go a date with two plane loads of people and do a flyover above NYC. You love my Obamacare but no, Congress and I don't want to go under that plan.
Why do we both attack and defend Obama saying he's just another Bush? I thought we wanted hope and change, not a third Bush term?
I noticed above the Whitehouse entrance the newly written phrase " Abandon All Hope and Change, Ye Who Enter here."
And on Obama's desk the slogan: "The Change Stops Here."

Is it because he want's to spend another trillion dollars?
Is he endorsing Socialst ideas, at the expense of the American taxpayer?
He is the worst President ever.
He is losing support because he is trying to solve the healthcare puzzle in this country, which creates strong opinions in the voting public. this alone would chip away at ANY President's popularity. anyway, the Presidency is NOT a popularity contest. He was elected to lead and I believe that he is doing the best that he can given the terrible hand that he was dealt at the onset of his Presidency. He is FAR from the worst President.
Not at all, because I wasnt for Bush! Like obama , what positives did Bush come through with? Obama is the worst puppet on a string! And the most dangerous! Look at his health plan idea! When a President is trying to rush and push this on the country, you better watch out! Americans do not want that obamacare plan, its crap! It wont help at all. Want to save America money? Then send back all the Illegals and close the Mexican border once & for all! Watch Crime drop! Save our tax dollars! Obama has no B.... to do that though, so all in all he is worse then a Bush 3!

If you didn't, it calls the motivation for your outrage into question, wouldn't you think?

He was given the hand that the democratic congress gave him after running things since 2007.
He also has spent trillions to fix all of those things and so far has been a total failure.
He is on par to pass Jimmy Carter as one of the worst Presidents ever.
What I see if things continue is him being known as the worst President ever even before his 1st year in office comes up.
To debunk your theory, Clinton tackled the same thing and did not have this problem like Obama is having.
His popularity is going down to tube for MANY things he is doing, not just the healthcare issue.
So far, he has been an utter failure is ALL ASPECTS of the job and his popularity and support are showing that.
Just for your info and an example. When you purchase a small business that is not doing very well and you come in and spend tons of money to fix what ailed the business from making profits and you fail like they did, then you were not ready to run that business and should not have purchased it in the first place.
Same with Obama, he comes in with all these promises and spends tomorrows money to fix what ills we did have and what has happened? It is getting worse, not better. Shows he did not have what it takes to do the job and should not have been given the chance.
Any one of us would have already been fired from our jobs if we would have done what this man has done and you know it.
The biggest mistake mistake in American history is the election of Obama.

Great post!
His followers are still blaming Bush for his failures and do not have what it takes to come to grips that this is Obamas baby and what happens is all his fault.
He has total control of congress and still is a total failure with all of you points above and many more causing it.
Obamabots needs to take a deep breathe and be honest with yourself that things are getting worse and not better under Obama running the show.
The dream has become a nightmare folks, all under Obama.
Prove me wrong. His records have been sealed for years.
Google his teams of attorneys who made sure no one found out any information that he does not want them to know.
From his birth to his college days, from his days being a part of the Chicago Anneberg group to his political life both he and Michelles records have been sealed for some reason.
I will help you some but the rest is your job. It is very easy to find that Obama has had his and his wifes records totally sealed so no one can find out anything about him or her. I wonder why?
Rep. saw him for what he was, Independents wanted to give him a break and see what he could do and Dem. wanted to believe his hot air hope and change lalaland story....most of them are waking up and having seen a check coming in and only seen things be more expensive and more people losing their job with not much hope for a quick chance for a job and prosperity....so now comes reality and the honeymoon is over!
