Washington Post/ABC News Public Opinion Poll

Nearly 60 percent of American voters say they lack faith in President Barack Obama, according to a Washington Post/ABC News public opinion poll published on Tuesday.

This is a reversal of what voters said at the start of Obama's presidency 18 months ago when about 60 percent expressed confidence in his decision making.

Confidence in Obama is at a new low but the poll found that his numbers are still higher than lawmakers of either major party four months ahead of the November congressional elections.

When asked how much confidence they had in Obama to make the right decisions for the country's future: 58 percent of respondents said "just some" or "none." 68% expressed the same sentiments about Democrats in Congress and 72% said the same of Republicans.

The Post said problems in the housing industry, sluggish job growth and other economic issues may have taken a toll on Obama's approval rating.

Just 43 percent of all Americans, including a third of Democrats, now say they approve of the job Obama is doing on the economy, while 54 percent disapprove.

The survey also found wide anti-incumbent sentiment with 62 percent of voters saying they were not inclined to support their current representative.

All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for grabs in the November 2 election as well as 36 of the 100 Senate seats.

Democrats now control both houses of Congress, but a slight majority of those polled said they would prefer to have Republicans in control to serve as a check on Obama's policies.

The poll of 1,288 people was conducted July 7-11 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Wow! You would think that Congress and Obama's approval rating would be near bottom! Especially after the Stimulus-Spendulous II; buying Car Companies with tax payers money; bullying CEO’s; throwing money at the corrupt Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; ramming health care down our throats; embarrassing the U.S. overseas; letting Mexican Idiot President Calderon lecture us on our laws; siding with criminal aliens and suing the sovereign State of Arizona; after scandalous links to Unions such as SEIU and other organizations such as ACORN; after violating the constitution by hiring “czars” to run federal programs and advise governmental entities; after hiring radical socialist and radical socialist liberal for his cabinet and inner circle – one would think that the American People get it! Apparently not as good as they should. Let’s get rid of this ass clown’s minions in November then throw him out of office 2 years from now. The people deserve better,…this Country’s future demands it.

Founders Wisdom – Still True and Valid Today

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not" – Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)

A warning, from over 200 years ago, about becoming an entitlest society, or if you prefer a Socialist State . In the simplest terms, if you are given something you value it less; then you come to expect it. I have seen in my relatives and constantly do battle with myself over it in some things. We have to hold people responsible. I call it “taking responsibility for your own misery”. There are examples where we can compassionately help people get off the welfare rolls. Former Governor Tommy Thompson of Wisconsin is one of them with his welfare to work program.


"Industry is increased, commodities are multiplied; agriculture and manufacturers flourish; and herein consists of the true wealth and prosperity of a state." - Alexander Hamilton, report of a National Bank 1790.

Widsom from 220 years ago, still valid today. The way to prosperity for this Country is through small business. Small business cannot get there with the heavy burden of unnecessary government regulation, ridiculous health care mandates, extremely high Worksmen Compensation insurance costs and unfair taxation. These small businesses will not expand, and, will let workers go in order to keep the business afloat. Obamacare and the pending Cap & Trade legislation will kill small business.


“There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” - James Madison, speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788.

The growth of today’s government under the Obama Administration is unprecedented. The growth of government power and the growth of spending is unlike anything in the history of the world for any country and will surely destroy this Great Country if it doesn’t change and change now.
