Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- More than 50 percent of Americans say they are worse off now than they were two years ago when President Barack Obama took office, and two-thirds believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, a Bloomberg National Poll shows.
The survey, conducted Dec. 4-7, finds that 51 percent of respondents think their situation has deteriorated, compared with 35 percent who say they’re doing better. The balance isn’t sure. Americans have grown more downbeat about the country’s future in just the last couple of months, the poll shows. The pessimism cuts across political parties and age groups, and is common to both sexes.
The president is no different than a quarterback of a football team. When things are going good, they get all the credit. When things are going bad, They get all the blame.
His Policies have dictated his fate plus Nancy & Harry
must be held accountable, They have had two years
to get the economy going ( Joblessness rose to a seven-month high of 9.8 percent in November, significantly above the 7.4 percent rate that prevailed in December 2008, the month before Obama was inaugurated.) The hope and change they sold America is nothing but an attempt
to nationalize and socialize
Barack Obama is a dishonest, manipulative liar who actually is pursuing an agenda that he hopes will take America off the international leadership stage. He wants America to fail so that the vision of Internationalist socialists can be realized. America is hated by the elite intellectuals of the world because we have been the single biggest roadblock to their plans to establish a one world governing system with them in charge. And there is your hope & change

I am NO FAN of Obama. I dislike liberals intensely.
But it strikes me that everytime this question is asked, I can honestly answer, "Yes". Just before Clinton first took office, I was just barely scraping by. But I enrolled in school, graduated and got good jobs, made smart moves. So yes, I was better off at the end of Clinton's first term. In the year previous to Bush taking office, we had taken a big risk, moving to a tourist town, quitting our jobs - the night before we "closed" on the business, we discovered several "fishy" items and backed out of the deal. The tourist area we were in was dependent on snow, which never came. We ate through our savings, decided to move the wedding date up several months and dh re-enlisted in the Navy because neither of us could find work. We moved back to 'civilization'. So, by the end of Bush's first term, we were doing much 'better'. At the end of Bush's second term, dh had gotten out of the Navy, we were self-employed/partnered with his Dad and it was really, really tough. So, in comparison, now we are doing MUCH better. I have to say that the tax cut bill will take a huge load off my shoulders.
But I don't believe we owe this to ANY of those presidents. We worked hard, sacrificed when we had to, made difficult decisions and moved to find work whenever necessary.
Then again, I REALLY loved the $8k FTHB credit... nice! Got us through the past few months as work slowed way WAY down. Now it's looking up! But although Obama will sign it, the last election where the libs were spanked had more to do with his 'coming around' than any belief that it would help anyone.

WAKE UP America !!!
Thank you so so much, for believing the way that i do, how true you are, America is to ignorant to wake up, they want to live in their glass houses, and make sure no glass ever breaks. I believe as you that Obama is a manipulative person, who stretches the truth grossly. I believe with others that i know, both dems and repubs, that it is his attnetion to be on an agenda to take America off of the International leadership state. He does not mind our Country being seen as weak. I too believe that his vision for America is not what our Vision is. And i believe as you, that his Change for us, is a one world governing system, and that will never be ok with me.
Too many Americans are too naive to wake up, oh they will wake up, when it is already to late! And the stage has been set.
My wife gets to go to work tomorrow and tell her staff that many of them will have their pay effectively cut in half thanks to regulations pushed by the administration. Thanks Barry!
The irony is that I'm guessing 3/4ths of her staff voted for the clown.
