Obama and a Couple of Recent Polls

According to Rasmussen:

Just 22% of Americans favor providing federal bailout funds to states with serious financial problems. Fifty-eight percent (58%) oppose giving bailout money to financially troubled states.

On top of that, 56% of Americans oppose the passage of another economic stimulus package this year. While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional Democrats are hoping to spend more to combat unemployment, just 33% favor another stimulus plan.

But I’m sure a little thing like “the will of the people they are supposed to represent” won’t stand in the way of Congress and Obama from doing exactly that:

President Obama hopes to use money still unspent from the $787-billion economic stimulus plan to fight the nation’s 10% unemployment rate, and one of the ideas on the table is to channel money to states to keep them from laying off public employees.

Ah…great. More government jobs. Jobs that don’t produce or create anything. Instead, they’re simply something else for tax payers to have to pay for.

It seems like the ONLY thing that Obama is actually any good at (other than spending other people’s money and hiding the details of his past) is growing the size and power of government.

I read somewhere recently about the number of people Obama Cabinet appointees who have zero (as in none, zilch, nada) experience working in the private sector — folks who’ve been living off the public tit of public “service” their entire adult lives:

Does this chart really surprise anybody?

Is it any wonder that Boy Wonder’s approval rating has dipped to 47% — the lowest ever for any President at this early of a point into their presidency?
