Can America Have Faith or Just Jump on Band Wagons

WASHINGTON – A new poll says that Americans, concerned over the future of health care reform and anxious about the growing federal budget deficit, are losing faith in President Barack Obama.—- Where are they coming from  and who are taking these polls? Republicans who believed that McCain could pull miracles out of his magic bag and magically bless the world with a fantastic healthcare system of which had been ruined for more than a decade?

The Washington Post-ABC News survey found that less that half of Americans — 49 percent — say they believe the president will make the right decisions for the country. That’s down from 60 percent at the 100-day mark of the Obama presidency.  To this, I say imagine how long it takes the average American to display how hard he/she can work, impress the boss, earn merit and a raise, and gain respect of the office executives.  Hmmm  Let us give that thought to the president.

The poll published Friday says Obama’s overall approval is 57 percent, 12 points lower than it was at its peak in April. Fifty-three percent disapprove of the way he’s handling the budget deficit and his approval on health care continues to deteriorate.  To this I remark the same. Sometimes, when you have to correct so many of other people’s mistakes, it takes trial and error, well shouldn’t it.  You, as a new comer with more than 70% of your co-workers working against you and another 75% hoping, but expecting you to fail…isn’t the pressure on?

The national survey was conducted Aug. 13-17 and has a sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.
