Obama and Egypt - The Polls


Lets look at the President Obama’s poll ratings after the events in Egypt, the Gallup Poll of Average voters has Obama on 48% Approval and 45% Disapproval, the Rasmussen Poll of likely voters has Obama on 46% Approval and 53% Disapproval. It should be recalled that it was 1979 and Iran and Afghanistan that really sunk the Carter Presidency, and what two countries are on the Presidential Desk for this year, yes its Iran and Afghanistan, the Tehran Regime is developing its nuclear programme, they could have the bomb by the end of 2011, also the Obama initial plan to start getting out of Afghanistan has been pushed back to 2014. If Egypt falls in to the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood the Obama Presidency is over, Israel would have enemies on both sides, and Israel has already started to blame Obama for this mess, Obama has been weak when it comes to Middle East, he tried to bully Israel over its peace negations, they told him to get lost, thus the Obama White House had to back track on its Middle East policy. The Obama offer of friendship to Iran has been thrown back in his face, Iran does not fear the Obama White House. On the domestic side POTUS has seen ObamaCare declared illegal by the US Federal Courts, thus between international affairs and the Obama domestic agenda the Obama re-elect will have a hard time between 2011 and 2012 in crafting a successful message as to why POTUS should be re - elected.
