President Obama's approval rating down

[BitterKingSkyler]

Hey, dont blame me, I dont know what's going on, what he's done, what he hasn't done....Because im Australian, I just think its awesome that they have an African-American President, African-American people are epic

I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to seem like I was blaming you. I just think a president should be judged on their achievements and not their ethnic backgrounds.

[foof]

I dont agree with Obama at all, he hasnt done anything really to better the country. He is all talk no action. Bush was a good president I do find it shameful that people blame bush for the hardships Obama is currently facing, didnt we do the exact same thing when Bush was new in office? Just saying.

We Need a new president cause I dont trust Obama nor have respect for him.

Lol. Signing the order to shut down Guantanamo? Saving GM by making them restructure before a bailout...authorizing and reconstructing health care for veterans and citizens...renew dialogue through NATO...modified the failing quo military command in Afghanistan...ending media black listing...changing flawed FDA rules...American Recovery and RI Act, which created approximately 2 million jobs....modifying flawed carbon dioxide act to better the environment...demolished a policy that gave tax benefits to corporations that outsource America jobs...ended the US Torture policy to act upon the Geneva convention standards...ended the stop loss policy...energy plants begin to produce 15% of energy from renewable energy sources with his new energy plan...created a pretty awesome Cyber Security Sector...grown the SCHIP program to support care for four million more kids...responded with care to people in haiti...changed the failing war plan in Afghanistan....increased infrastructure spending after years of being ignored...put forth a new policy concerning cuba, allowing Cuban familys to return home and visit loved ones....dealt with companies and corporations that denied sick pay, vacation and health insurance to workers, abused employee classification of independent contracts. The companies also avoided paying SS, Medicare and Unemployment insurance taxes for those workers...Limited salaries of senior white house representatives to $100,000...protected 300,000 education jobs...signed the christopher and dana reeves paralysis act...new Afghanistan policy that limits bombings and hostile efforts, and focuses more on aid...put forth new policies to aid science sectors of the goverment...new funds for school construction, which creates more jobs...ordered all fed agencies to try to cut spending / report what they find...made a deal with swiss banks to permit US Government to gain access to tax records of criminals and evaders...phased out outdated war planes / ships / weaponry that proved ineffective in battle...removed restrictions on embryonic stem cell research...restarted the nuclear non-proliferation talks...engaging in bilateral talks and diplomacy with middle eastern countries and countries that have been left out / untouched

God I'm stopping there.
