And a CNN Poll of Polls compiled and released Thursday also indicates that Obama's disapproval rating at 49%. ".
Lets Get Real:
Folks sooner or later, every US 2nd term President finds that he losses support on the Hill, either through scandal OR just the political cycle, in many respects a 2nd term President is a lame duck the moment he wins, the less power a Oval has is directed by his poll numbers, as noted my morning tweet, a CBS/NYT poll had POTUS on a 43% Approval rating, the US economy has not returned to its 2008 level, there are millions of Americans who have given up looking for a job, thus they are not counted in those seeking a job, thus the unemployment rate is low, not due to people getting hired but because people have fallen in to thinking what is the point, also with ObamaCare if you hire a person for under 30 hours do not have to give them healthcare, thus many working class and graduates find themselves doing part time jobs or jobs that do not require a degree. On the international stage Obama has had to deal with the Snowden scandal and that disaster that is the US policy over Syria, in many respects 2nd term Presidents have more freedom on the World Stage than at home, Obama has failed to get that fact, he makes demands of Congress as if he is back in early 2009, well folks the political train has moved, there are the 2014 Mid Terms coming up, the Democrats will not get the House back, but they have to fight to keep the Senate, and then we have 2016, every 2nd term President finds at the end if he ran naked around the White House the press would not be interested, there is Iowa in 2016 then comes NH, then the Primary debates and then we have the general. That is the thing about democracy folks, it moves on, new leaders and issues, thank goodness for democracy folks.
