Seeing how this is not an election year he is not losing voters, but he is losing support Gallup has him at only 51% approval rate with a 42% disapproval rate, and Rasmussen has him at only 33% of the country strongly approve of what he is doing.

Now, the left would like to blame it all on Am radio and Fox, but in reality the biggest drops are coming from people who are independent and don't have a bias when it comes to things like that.

Considering that he was almost at 70% when he took office and he is now. Latest polls show that 34% strongly approve while 39% strongly disapprove. Just those numbers alone should put an end to this debate.

I like to make the analogy of this President form the movie Soilent Green. Where when you find the truth it is very disturbing and deceiving. If you look and google and even look at all of the clips and countless lies that he says it is almost endless. I saw this one and laughed out loud when I heard it. I really believe that Obama is a compulsive lier and doesn't even know sometimes when he does it. He say that his father served in World War II. His father was only 9 years old and when you look and vet the information indeed his father never served obviously.

Obama saying his father served on WWII BS

If he's not losing voters than why do you think that he is having so much opposition, not just to his health care plan but everything in general mostly his budget deficit? It's his own democratic party turning into a large blue dog base. In order for them to get reelected they are moving away from Obama's Ideals in hopes to sure up there voters base for reelection. That tells you right there they watch the polls and numbers.

In droves. I really don't believe that the majority of the people want his health care plan.

You're right.

But I believe that it is because they don't understand what's true or not.

The truth is that it's a good move for the country. Socially, economically, and overall.

The majority of the people are middle class and they are starting to realize that they are the ones that are going to get stuck with the bill.

National health care wont hurt the rich because they can afford their own health care. National health care wont hurt the poor because they don't have to pay for it.

The fact that this administration is printing money faster than a cheetah on fire means that the money saved by the middle class, their nest egg, will be worth a lot less in the future. These spending deficits are eroding the value of our money.

The baby boomers get it. They are retiring at a time when the government wants to put into place a program that will put us further into debt and thus erode the value of the money they saved for their retirement. Baby boomers want a health care system that will take care of them when they are sick but does not erode the value of their money. Obama's health care is too big and will cost too much. And it has a good chance of ending up like welfare, the post office, and the social security system.... in the crapper ;)

Lets make a list of why he is losing voters.

Promised to balance the budget. WRONG: more than all Bush years combined.

Promised to give middle America a tax break. Wrong: Going back on that one quick just last month stated that they are going to have to to pay for all of the debt they are creating.

Promised to get us out of Iraq and blamed Bush for how wrong we are to be there. Wrong: not only has he doubled the amount and has said that we are there for imminent amount of time but now fighting in Afghanistan as well. Where is the Liberal up roar over that? If it was Bush Liberals would be rioting in the streets and asking for impeachment.

Stimulus bill promised that if passed unemployment would not rise above 8.5% Wrong: Stimulus as not produced any jobs and employment is now 9.7% and going higher.

On his website asking for Americans to snitch and give names of people who are against the Health Care Bill. Are you Kidding me where are you liberals who where so upset at the Patriot act and not upset that Obama's own website is asking you too snitch on people who don't agree.

I could keep going on but the list is almost endless.

more than all Bush years combined

Annual US Budget:

2002: 2 trillion

2003: 2.2

2004: 2.3

2005: 2.4

2006: 2.7

2007: 2.77

2008: 2.9

2009: 3.10

Total under Bush: $20 trillion

Under Obama:

2010: 3.6 trillion

Promised to give middle America a tax break.

There was a bit of hiccup there -- the economy nearly imploded. It cost a lot to fix it. You shouldn't be attacking the President for making difficult choices in difficult times.

Promised to get us out of Iraq and blamed Bush for how wrong we are to be there.

Iraq was a big mistake. A trillion dollars and a million lives later, that has become clear.

And we are in the process of responsibly pulling out of Iraq. We have withdrawn troops from major cities.

Stimulus bill promised that if passed unemployment would not rise above 8.5%

He was following the consensus view among economists. Nearly everyone got that wrong. Without the stimulus the numbers would be even worse.

On his website asking for Americans to snitch and give names of people who are against the Health Care Bill.

He's asking people to report untrue rumors spread by fools and liars like you so that we can spend more time debating the issues and less time debunking bullshit.

I looked at your link and those where submitted budgets that you are showing, never got passed thank god. The actual budget here's the actual budget projection. Once again it is all up to congress and Nancy Pelosi to pass it or not. Check this link out for some correction. http://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/24/bush-deficit-vs-obama-deficit-in-pictures/

Once again it wasn't a mistake they got wrong on 8.5%. Every economist out there including myself knew that it was going over that not matter what. That's what I'm saying about him he will say anything to get a bill passed. Obama knew that it was going to be over 8.5%. That's a bunch of crap. Just to let you know I voted for him believing him but unlike you I'm not a biased person and take what people say and actions they do and then cut through the BS to see what's under the hood and it doesn't jive. The economy is going to get worse if he gets his way with all that he wants to do.

Reality Check is the biggest scam if trying to find the truth they are as biased as Newsweek magazine. The fact on his website he even has a place for people to snitch. It should worry you a little that a president's website would have that on there for people to snitch. So they have the persons name then what? Are they going to harass em call them up and set them straight? The point is it should be your right to have your own opinion and freedom of speech and the president should not be concerned with how people feel about it. They don't trust what he's trying to sell they don't trust government period.

His polls are slipping, but it's not an election year so there is nothing to vote on.

Seriously all this BS about his address to school children promoting socialism, Death Panels and every other lie is ridiculous.

If you believe that crap, we should pull the plug on you.

What does that have to do with anything? Just any opportunity to turn it all on the right huh? This is about Obama's voters, not the right.

My wife is a school teacher and had to watch the Obama speech to school kids. It was ridiculously stupid. Especially when he said even though you are failing doesn't mean your stupid. Let the parents tell their children that. He is the only public figure to give a mandatory speech to shcool kids. Guess what other figure its the only one to do that? Hitler.

Obama's famous quote "A penny earned is a penny taxed" President Obama will make it a lot easier for most people to do their income taxes next year. No jobs, no income.

There would be a death panel. although most people just go by their beliefs and never read or do the homework themselves to make an educated decision. In the bill which I have read about half of it. It states that there would be a panel that would decide where or not end of life procedures would be necessary. If you have a family member who is dying you the family would not have the go ahead say whether or not to pull the plug "so to speak" it would first have to be approved by a panel that is listed in the bill. Your are right it is not worded Death Panel but when you read the bill and how it is stated you can sure call it that. Go ready it for yourself and stop listening to the rhetoric of a President who is lying to the American people. To top it off he even admits that he has never read it.

Just out of curiousity, what is your definition of "death panel"?

It seems to be the conversative strategy to re-label boring things, like hospice care, as scarey-sounding things like "people who watch you while you slowly die".
