I wonder who are in the 43% who approve of Obama's performance; how deluded they are when he's been caught in lie after lie, scandal after scandal. How his signature legislation is a disaster. How US casualties in Afghanistan have skyrocketed since he took office. Drones, domestic spying, targeting political enemies, record numbers on food stamps, etc. Nixon's approval rating was only 14% lower AFTER Watergate. With how much hanging over Obama's head, it's amazing and very disturbing how so many people have convinced themselves he's a great President.
It seems no matter how bad things get, there's a certain segment who legitimately think things are going well because they want to protect Obama's legacy no matter what.
Those people representing the 43% you refer to, are either simply ignorant fools, or they have very low opinions of themselves and can be bought off with the left over crumbs from the glutinous banquet, enjoyed by the bureaucrats and politicians in our government, and their cronies.
Who could live up to this kind of praise?? Only a perfect man who surrounded himself with perfect people. There was no way he could have lived up to those expectations.
No one can of course but these are examples how Obama was being sold to the people. But that didn't stop people from buying the Obama lie.
Democrats call people who didn't buy into the Obama lie terrorist and other despicable names.
"They serenaded the Hyde Park Democrat with chants of "O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!" Obama drew such a passionate outpouring from the crowd that even he and his aides were overwhelmed. "At one point, I thought Barack was going to rise up over the people and start saying, 'My children, my children, I have come to free you."
Quoted in David Mendell's Obama: From Promise to Power
He was put on a platform and his ego is big enough that he believed it himself.
Has there ever been a president with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements?
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. They believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings.
These people truly believe that we need to be saved from something. They believed America was bad and that it needed a complete remaking. They stand for everything America isn't.
Anyone who had anything to do with the making of that ridiculous video should be put right up against the wall and be subjected to some natural air-conditioning.
"generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth."
--- Barack Obama
