Tough Times for President Obama

For maybe the first time in his political career, Obama is on the ropes! According to Rasmussen Reports, only 56% of Americans say that they approve of the President's performance so far, and only 35% of the folks believe that the country is heading in the right direction. Do these numbers sound similar to reports we were receiving during the end of the Bush Administration? You bet ya! Clearly, the President is worried by the diminishing poll numbers, the economy downfall, and the recent AIG developments. His solution...be a guest on the Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno! And to tell you the truth, maybe that isn't such a bad idea. Obama will work his smooth image that carried him through the election, and he'll answer softball questions while doing it. But, a few nights away from Corruptionville, USA isn't going to clean up an economic mess that would make the folks at Rumpke grimace. Clearly the country is on the backburner at the current time. And granted, he inherited a world of problems. But at the same time, he knew what he was getting into. Should things continue down this slipperly slope that Obama is creating, he will not be remebered as the change agent/FDR that he boasted he was during the campaign. Instead, he'll have to be likened to one of this country's finest fallen heros...Jimmy Carter...
