News, Or Expectations ?

While some view this as news, many here will very likely view this as exactly the level of expectation Obama would rise (or sink) to.

Rasmussen reports that only 27% of voters currently give Obama a strong approval rating. On the flip side, 42% indicate strong disapproval of the job Obama is doing as President. Among independents, 16% strongly approve and 51% strongly disapprove. Overall disapproval is at 54%, and overall approval at 45%.

It is a very good bet this is one reason his job approval is tanking :

Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents

President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year presidents — spending nearly double what his predecessor did when he came into office and far exceeding the first-year tabs for any other U.S. president in history.

In fiscal 2009 the federal government spent $3.52 trillion — $2.8 trillion in 2000 dollars, which sets a benchmark for comparison. That fiscal year covered the last three-and-a-half months of George W. Bush’s term and the first eight-and-a-half months of Obama’s.

That price tag came with a $1.4 trillion deficit, nearly $1 trillion more than last year. The overall budget was about a half-trillion more than Bush’s for 2008, his final full fiscal year in office.

    Three enlisted Navy Seals opt for court martial instead of Captain’s Mast over accusations from 2004 of punching a terrorist murderer in the combat zone of Iraq— the guy who masterminded the killing of four Blackwater security agents and had two of the mutilated and burned bodies strung up from a bridge.

    Navy Seals. The same outfit that took out the Somali pirates and saved the captain of the Maersk Alabama…among all the other things they do for us.

    I know this is a “family” blog, but I cannot help saying this: America has become a nation of suicidal a-holes. And don’t give me this song and dance about America being a nation of the rule of law. Get your butt out of that armchair, put on the vest, lock and load, and get out there in a combat zone to go up against the butchers. Then you tell me all about it when you come back — if you come back.

    Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid of Obama’s Latest Big Brother Plan

    “The memorandum specifically applies this change to all political appointees hired in the past 5 years and effectively works to freeze them out of their current jobs or make their lives so miserable by denying promotions, that they will quit before they are forced out.”
