News flash! President Obama has a 60% approval rating.
We are talking about the president that came into the White House with some of the highest expectations in US history. We are not even 100 days into his presidency, and his approval rating slipped from nearly 67% to 60%. Give the man a break! He has to single-handedly fix our country, and roughly 7% of Americans won't even give him 100 days? Granted, if I could have voted in the past elections, it would have been for John McCain (no, my parents would not have put me up to it) but I realize that it takes time to fix a nation. Usually, presidents are given 4 years to do their job, maybe even 8. But I guess following America's most unpopular president has it's consequences.
True, Obama has made some unpopular decisions about the economy (as FOX put it: "far more left from center). He also hasn't "made Darfur a priority", like he said in his campaign. He hasn't created a colorblind America, like so many of his followers expected he would. We just have to accept the fact that President Obama IS human, and that he has a better plan for the future. Despite unpopular decisions, party affiliations, or unfulfilled promises, he is still our president. We must, as a people, calm down and believe that he is not another George W Bush. We must hope that he will not mess up our country as much as the last president did. However, only time will tell.
