Here I am!
I'd say that Pres. Obama actually had a lot of us believing he would be different in 2008. I guess myself and many in this country were actually wanting "hope and change".
It's turned out completely the opposite.
I was listening to a radio show here in Vegas that comes on in the afternoon yesterday. It's hosted by a guy named Ken Wahl. It's called "Live And Local".
He pointed out that Obama's State Of The Union speech drew 4 million less viewers than George Bush's SOTU at the lowest point of his popularity (the 2008 State Of The Union Address)
Pres. Obama's job approval ratings are now the lowest of any Pres. since Richard Nixon during the Watergate Scandal.
And this morning, I was watching the "conservative" show on MSNBC: Morning Joe
They were ripping on the SOTU.
Saying that after a "disastrous" 2013, that America had "Obama Fatigue" and that it was pretty obvious that his presidency is pretty much over.
The only hope they had for him was that they said that in the last year or two, a Pres. will get ambitious because they have nothing to lose and will go all out and actually get things done.
I'm thinking that didn't work out for our last 2 Presidents. Both Bush and Clinton had really strong 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th years in office. But the 7th and 8th years left them both as damaged goods (remember, Al Gore wouldn't even let Clinton campaign for him because of his unpopularity in 2000...hard to believe now).
Since Obama hasn't even had ONE great year in his Presidency...it ain't looking good for him to finish strong in my opinion.
And a lot of the problems he is facing are from his ego. He really thinks he can just do as he pleases and people have to fall in line. He doesn't even try to compromise.
One pundit said something like: Compare the tone of George Washington's State of The Union address where the whole idea was that he was NOT a "king" and that the branches of govt. were equal under the constitution to what Obama is saying about taking "unilateral" action and how he has a pen and a phone.
There is also a new poll showing that Obama is the most DIVISIVE President in modern history.
This is hardly what I voted for back in 2008.
