President Obama’s approval rating had been trending negative from the day he took office until his health care “reforms” were passed. When the next step to socialized medicine was finally shoved down our throats, his liberal base applauded and this appears in the Rasmussen poll.  Notice that the President’s disapproval numbers didn’t change much.

But the bounce didn’t last. Pro-environment people (that would be everyone) are not happy with the government response to the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico. We are not interested in finger pointing (the President’s specialty). We want it fixed and cleaned up. There will be plenty of time finger pointing in law suits once the oil stops and the shorelines are cleaned.

What can the President do? To be fair, he can’t stop the leak. He can’t clean up. He can’t do much (government rarely can). What he can do is stay engaged and fast track things that need to get done now. He needs to alleviate some of those regulations he seems to love so much. He is suppose to be a great “organizer”. I’m thinking he could organize a more effective response if he would lay off the vacations, basketball and golf…or is that too much to ask of Prince Barack?
