Papa Obama’s approval rating officially dropped below Jimmy Carter this week.


US News and World Report:

President Obama’s slow ride down Gallup’s daily presidential job approval index has finally passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern political history.

Since March, Obama’s job approval rating has hovered above Carter’s, considered among the 20th century’s worst presidents, but today Obama’s punctured Carter’s dismal job approval line. On their comparison chart, Gallup put Obama’s job approval rating at 43 percent compared to Carter’s 51 percent…

…What’s more, Gallup finds that Obama’s overall job approval rating so far has averaged 49 percent. Only three former presidents have had a worse average rating at this stage: Carter, Ford, and Harry S. Truman. Only Truman won re-election in an anti-Congress campaign that Obama’s team is using as a model.​

2012 will be a "Lemming race". If the GOP wins the taxes and entitlements get cut, and if the dems win its Obamacare and gridlock with a GOP Congress. Either way we're toast.

Our only hope is that the USSC kills Obamacare, and they make some kind of $4T deal to cut entitlements, close loop-holes, and go after Wall Street.

What a waste of money

Of course, if one reviews the whole CBO report it does say

The Congressional Budget Office on Tuesday downgraded its estimate of the benefits of President Obama’s 2009 stimulus package, saying it may have sustained as few as 700,000 jobs at its peak last year and that over the long run it will actually be a net drag on the economy.

CBO said that while the Recovery Act boosted the economy in the short run, the extra debt that the stimulus piled up “crowds out” private investment and “will reduce output slightly in the long run — by between 0 and 0.2 percent after 2016.”

The agency also has changed its model for the spending’s impact on the economy, and the new calculations show the Recovery Act did less than originally projected.


What a surprise

another failed Papa Obama pet project that did not live up to expectations

$250,000 per job created (excluding the interest expense) and $312,500 per union job, er job created
(so that's how much it cost to purchase votes today)
What a bargain - what fine example of "Keynesian efficiency"
What is the avg wage in the US around $42,000 ?

I can see it now- the new liberal cry!
Give us 5 times the cost of the avg job and we can make 1

To be fair, it is better than his "green job" cost
With $17.2 billion spent on these programs, the cost per actual job created, so far 3545 jobs, comes to $4.853 million per job
(not counting the interest)
Notice Even with Papa Obama’s initial false promise of 65,000 jobs created that would still come to $593,846 per job



Really, only left wing apologists for Papa Obama could take this as a positive

Wonder if Mitt has this chart? <g>

We're toast if taxes and entitlements get cut? Hmm...

Never thought I'd see the day someone could be worse than Carter.

2012 LOOKING good.
