I find myself defending many of President Obama’s “bad” decisions, but only to the moronic “Bush can do no wrong” crowd. Those twisted idiots have no place in condemning Obama, not after green-lighting every crappy Bush move made.

But I do find myself becoming more and more dissatisfied with the President. He has backtracked on campaign promises. And he spends an awful lot of time kissing up to the right. Which is funny, considering the fact that they’ll never except him as a sitting president.

I expect to see a continued drop in these numbers:

Obama Job Approval Slips to 58% for First Time

PRINCETON, NJ — President Barack Obama’s job approval rating fell to 58% in Gallup Poll Daily tracking from June 16-18 — a new low for Obama in Gallup tracking, although not dissimilar to the 59% he has received on four other occasions.

Thirty-three percent of Americans now disapprove of the job Obama is doing as president, just one point shy of his record-high 34% disapproval score from early June.

Since Obama took office in January, his approval rating in Gallup tracking has averaged 63%, and most of his three-day ratings have registered above 60%. Approval of Obama did fall to 59% in individual readings in February, March, April, and early June; however, in each case, the rating lasted only a day before rebounding to at least 60%.

The latest decline in Obama’s approval score, to 58%, results from a drop in approval among political independents as well as among Republicans. Democrats remain as highly supportive of the president as ever.
