Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

The news for the nation and the president continues to get worse. Today we learned that in the first quarter of this year total economic output for the country grew by an anemic 1.8 percent. This was a significant slowdown from the fourth quarter of 2010, when the growth was 3.1 percent, which was itself unimpressive, especially in the aftermath of a recession, when one would expect growth to be much more robust.

In addition the number of jobless claims increased by 25,000 to 429,000 last week (the third week in a row unemployment claims surpassed 400,000). Consumer prices were up 3.8 percent from last year (after increasing only 1.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010). The price of gas is 35 percent higher than a year ago. The dollar continues to decline, with the Dollar Index sliding to an almost three-year low. And real estate experts are predicting that home prices could decrease by between 10 to 25 percent before the market bottoms out.
Not coincidentally, a new McClatchy-Marist poll shows that 57 percent of registered voters disapprove of President Obama’s economic management while only 40 percent approve, the lowest score of his presidency. Fifty-seven percent of Americans say the worst is yet to come for the U.S economy. And 71 percent said the nation is still in a recession (the recession officially ended in June 2009). In a Gallup poll, 29 percent said the economy is in a depression while 26 percent said it is in a recession, with another 16 percent saying it is “slowing down.” The Gallup Economic Confidence Index is as low as it’s been since the height of the Great recession. According to the New York Times/CBS News poll, 70 percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track. Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the nation is in decline. As David Brooks wrote earlier this week, “The country is anxious, pessimistic, ashamed, helpless and defensive.”

And in a Quinnipiac poll that must have sent shivers up and down the spines of Obama’s political advisers, in Pennsylvania—a state Obama carried by double digits not quite two-and-a-half years ago—the president’s approval rating is down to 42 percent. Obama will not win reelection if he loses Pennsylvania.

What is happening is a series of interrelated developments. Many of the objective economic conditions of the country are getting worse. The country’s mood is darkening. And support for the president, and especially his policies, is dropping to dangerously low levels.

The president can hold as many town halls as he wants. He can attack Republicans to his heart’s content. He may be, as his supporters insist, hyper-rational, the very model of the complex, nuanced thinker, perhaps even “the smartest guy ever to become president.” He can be charming on Oprah. He can do lots of things. But one thing he cannot do is escape the consequences of his actions. And if the economy remains flat on its back—if things don’t pick up significantly between now and the summer of 2012—then the odds are quite high that we’re looking at a one-term president.

He inherited a real mess.
It's all Dubya's fault.
He's trying real hard.
It is working.
Things are getting better every day.
It's just gonna take some time.
Prosperity is just around the corner.

If you deny any of this--------- you are a RACIST

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

But dont make the mistake of overestimating the American people. After all it was THEY who hired him for the job with no apparent qualifications. Very few people out there follow politics.

When polled they like the thought of a balanced budget but on the other hand reject the idea of cutting social programs. The population nowadays is far more in tune with the values of liberals than of conservatives.

Hits. Nail. On. Head.

It's the reason anything could happen, no matter what the economy is doing, high gas prices, etc.. The love of money...the very idea that anyone would lose their government checks, no matter they actually wouldn't, just the very idea makes too many voters seem schizophrenic.

Where I live every single proposition to raise taxes went down in defeat last November. Yet, every single tax and spend democrat was re-elected to office.
Now, we're not being taxed to death...we're being "increased fees" to death.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

Man wasn't elected off qualifications, that's for sure. I think he got the dem nomination due to race, but won election off both race and how much disatisfaction with the economy crisis/Bush.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

We need to really pray for our country and our world...I think he is just a peice of a puzzle and part of what is leading to the end of the world....(guess I should go back to the jungle now...ha.....)

After the breaking news of the death of bin laden, I have a great feeling that President Obama WILL BE elected again in 2012.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

The economy has been clobbered.
Obama will have not enough time to get an economy fired up. Gas prices are making the economy deteriorate.

The royal wedding was a bigger deal than this.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

The economy is improving, and with the breaking news of the day, the people of America is fired up. They will remember this day. What royal wedding? I got married in 1969.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

Inflation is dangerous for folks on fixed incomes.

Gas prices are crazy high and since the dollar fell so much it looks bad,

Obama's minions are both dishonest and ignornant regarding economics.

2 Trillion dollars a year in debt increase?

Honest folks se a stale economy and it looks like a set back this summer.

Horrible economic policy is obvious to the rational thinkers.

You remind me of the hail marry full of grace crowd as they set around out side of a abortion clinic here. They have signs saying adoption not abortion. I asked how many have you adopted and none of the 10 or 15 that were screaming into megaphone had adopted one child, so I ask you mr big business man with all your money how many folks on fixed income have you helped?

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

How is the economy improving?

Home Depot is going gangbusters in Alabama.:girlytantrum

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

they will be taking credit for that too

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

Exactly where do these fixed income folks get their handouts?

Light, do you know the gubment takes money from people that work for a living?

Last week we baptized one of these on fixed income. I taught her bible study for many weeks. We baptized her grandson a month ago and got the grandsons mom to church 2 weeks ago. I helped furnish her neices house when she got out of jail.

Light can you tell us where gubment money comes from?
Why are Democrats so supportive of abortion?

Didn't FEMA dispose of all their FEMA trailers? Ooops. They must be ordering new ones again.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

Did you ask them how many babies they had aborted? :foottap

Maybe the aborters should be doing the adoptions instead of doing the aborting! Naw! go ahead and make your mistake and let someone else correct it. That's the way you liberals operate! Sit at home on your ...... couch and let someone else make the money and then let the government take it away from the worker and send it to you. You only have to get up off the couch to go to the mail box. And if that's too taxing then have a direct deposit and you don't have to get up at all. Sorry, off on a tangent. But you liberals make me do that! It's not my fault! :foottap

And by the way, it's hail mary not hail marry!:happydance Do you ever read what you've typed before you post it. And you could read it after you post and do an edit! Naw! That's too much work!

Obama not a 2012 shoo-in

Dr. Timothy Johnson, a retired Army major, now serves as chairman of The Frederick Douglass Foundation, which fights for conservative values such as the sanctity of human life and the protection of traditional marriage.

And he believes President Obama can be defeated next year.

"I hate to say it, but there will be a good number of people who look like me that will still be stuck on stupid and still want to support him for the color of his skin -- not for the job he's done as the president of the United States," Johnson predicts.

That you would use the deaths of innocent, helpless children marched in by their mothers to try and make Coadie look bad only speaks volumes about you....

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

Bravo, Been Thinking! :highfive

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

The economy is improving how exactly?
Is it the lower growth? Is it the higher number of un-employment numbers, maybe it's the higher gas prices? No? Well, what is it?

America will remember all of the above, Bin Laden will have been meals for the fishes and long gone in body and memory before November 2012.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

Democrats play the blame game.

If light wants to justify abortion by blaming the pro lifers for not adopting babies he can.

The pro lifers are there to protest abortion. If Planned Parenthood is full service, it ias their job to offer less deadly options.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

Light offers a false dichotomy.
He says option a is pro lifers follow thru with adoptions or option b. is abortion.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

I've come to the conclusion that democrats are the bane of society.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

It is the conservatives fault. Conservitives made them be what they are.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

A survey from the National Association for Business Economics finds that economists are hopeful that the broader economy is substantially improving, with rising employment reported for the fifth quarter in a row. The survey found that "companies appear to be positioning themselves for a firming economic environment," said Shawn DuBravac, an economist with the Consumer Electronics Association, who analyzed the findings.

The outlook for employment rose slightly, reaching a 12-year high. No firms reported significant layoffs, with the only reductions coming from already planned cuts.

Sales increased for the third consecutive quarter, profit margins continued to improve and the number of economists whose firms increased spending over the previous quarter held steady. Nearly all of the 72 economists surveyed, about 94 percent, now expect the economy to grow at least 2 percent in 2011.

NPR? What a junk Liberal media. I repent for advertising on NPR (several years ago)

The work force is growing by 2% a year. That means per capita GDP is not growing.

10% unemployment. Horrible. Only libs like high unemployment.

Re: Obama Looking Like a One Term President
 

Coadie I am sick of your lies. You know I do not approve of abortion yet you keep lying.
I only used that incident to show how hypocritical you and the rest of your crowd are. You and the rest of the abortion crowd are nothing but loud mouth bags of wind. All talk and no action.
