Obama's Gallup Rating Turns Negative for First Time

By Philip Klein on 3.17.10 @ 1:22PM

Today's Gallup daily tracking poll finds that for the first time of his presidency, Barack Obama's performance rating has turned negative, with 47 percent of Americans disapproving of his performance compared to 46 percent approving of it.

Clearly, it's time for him to deliver another speech on health care!

Remember, any negative view of the Mocha Messiah is either evidence of racism or evidence that he isn't being radical enough.

I'm no fan of Obama, but such racist references as "Mocah Messiah" do nothing but make you out to be a racist idiot.

Make your arguments on their merits, not on your opponents race, or not at all.

And what color would you call him? Not a racist comment, but an observation. He and his "followers" clearly see him as some sort of Messiah, and he is neither white nor black. Get bent.

He's been working so hard that he hasn't had time to get out there and show the American people how great he is. More exposure is what's required.
