Slip Sliding Away . . . Slip Sliding Awayayay.

The great poll numbers for St. Barack are starting to erode.

This is not surprising and totally predictable (and predicted by certain commentators). First, his very high approval rates were non-sustainable. As soon as he started to act, they were destined to go down (because there are winners and losers on every issue). Second, despite the fervor with which his ardent fans (and they are more fans than anything else) view him, it is factual that Barack Obama was elected by Independent voters who thirsted for change. Indepenent voters are really not all that attached to Obama personally (unlike his fans). What they wanted, what they voted for, isn't turning out to be exactly what President Obama is delivering. And, this is showing up in the polling numbers.

Independent voters are becoming increasingly concerned at both; 1) the pace at which the President is spending money (or planning to spend it . .. ala health care) and 2) what he is doing with our economy (i.e. inserting Government into more and more aspects of "private" industry).

By the way, if you think St. Barack isn't focused on polling numbers . . . think again. His fans don't really like to acknowledge it, but he is a politician first and foremost.

Reminder: I voted for him . . . but, I am also an Independent who is increasingly uncomfortable with what I see him doing.
