What are you talking about? Obama is trying to reform the entire healthcare system. That's
huge, and he's pissing off a lot of people (particularly those who are making tons of money off of the way things are now - and the short-sighted people who buy their garbage propaganda). You think his approval ratings won't take at least a bit of a beating over that fight?
Then of course there's the fact that the recession is, you know, still ongoing. Unless Obama could snap his fingers and make things better tomorrow, his approval ratings would suffer over that regardless. Actually, his approval ratings would still dip a bit if he could do that, because people would be whining that Obama should have snapped those magic fingers a few months - weeks - minutes - seconds earlier than he did.
Not to come off as an Obama fanboy, but I'm displeased with commentary and posts like yours. The guy has been in office for a little over half a year, and he's dealing with some big-time issues. You're giving him a "D" - for what? Things seem to be stabilizing, and he's laying the groundwork for some enhancements to society. A "D" would be more fitting for a situation where things would be continually getting worse, I'd say. Out of curiosity, what would it take to get an "A" out of you? Jesus rises again and declares the United States a great place, thanks to Obama?
