After Obama was elected, many pundits and supporters exclaimed he would positively alter our global perception.

Well Obama has surely altered the view of America.

 

The body language implications. In regards to politics, Obama has changed the perception of America from steadfast, strong world power to groveling apologizer. He's spent much of his Presidency lamenting our mistakes, bowing to Muslim kings, and making nice with everyone! In turn, foreign countries no longer respect our President nor our "big stick". They know he doesn't have the balls to use it. link

 

 

 

Who’s the stronger America, the Ike/JFK era USA, or the Obama USA?

 

 

 

 

Paradise by the Dashboard Light

 

Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker

going here, two world leaders, nobody on, no score,

bottom of the American empire, there’s the walk-up and

there it is, a dead fish handshake tucked in close, look

at Obama try-hard. This boy can really fail!

He’s getting his fingers squeezed and really smiling a lot

now, he’s not letting up at all, he’s gonna

try for the shoulder pat; the alpha maneuver is bobbled off-center,

and here comes Medvedev’s response, and what a snub!

He’s not even gonna turn his head, here he comes, he’s alpha!

And, wait, a smirk–a smirk and a head cock, this Russian really

makes the amateur pay with his haughty disdain.

Obama steps up to the podium, here’s the greeting–

he’s leaning in, and what beta body language he’s got, he’s trying

too hard, here’s the shake, it’s by the fingertips–

dissed in public! Holy cow, stolen dignity!

Obama’s taking a pretty bad beating out there, almost

begging him to turn and face him directly. Medvedev

doesn’t even glance over, stands his ground, and it’s signaled, signaled

to the mass media, the new world order is on!

Here comes the new guy, alpha play, and it’s not even close,

here’s the match-up, there’s the play at the podium,

holy cow, Medvedev won’t even share a mic!

It’s a bad day for American leadership, folks

Obama is all radical smoke and mirrors - the American people have started to see through it.

 

If you say so, cal. The rest of us living in this solar system shall give him the benefit of time.

Oh, a LOT of folks have to give him time.

 

But in the MEANTIME, Obama is bumbling the hopes of many of those who voted for him.

 

What they wanted in "Hope and Change" isn't what Obammy really was about.

 

It isn't just me, though you infer that a lot.

Trust on IssuesVoters Trust GOP More than Democrats on Eight of 10 Key IssuesThursday, July 09, 2009 AdvertisementVoters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy. They've also narrowed the gap on the remaining two issues, the traditionally Democratic strong suits of health care and education.

 

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that voters trust the GOP more on economic issues 46% to 41%, showing little change from the six-point lead the party held last month. This is just the second time in over two years of polling the GOP has held the advantage on economic issues. The parties were close on the issue in May, with the Democrats holding a one-point lead.

 

Voters not affiliated with either party trust Republicans more to handle the economy by a 46% to 32% margin.

 

Last week’s report of 9.5 percent unemployment, the highest since 1983, raised doubts about the economy and the president's handling of it. Consumer and investor confidence is now down to the lowest levels in three months. Just 39% now say President Obama is doing a good or an excellent job on the economy while 43% rate his performance as poor. Those are by far the weakest numbers yet for the president.

 

The president's approval ratings also have fallen to new lows in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Most voters (52%) now trust Republicans more on the issue of taxes, also the highest level found in over two years. Only 36% trust Democrats more on taxes. A survey conducted at the end of June found that 39% of voters now expect their taxes to go up under Obama, the highest level of concern measured to date.

 

On national security, Republicans hold a 49% to 40% lead over Democrats. That’s down from a 15-point lead last month.

 

For the second straight month, voters put North Korea at the top of the list of biggest threats to U.S. national security.

 

Republicans hold a four-point lead on the issue of the War in Iraq, down from an eight-point advantage in June.

 

Even though American troops have now pulled out of all cities in Iraq and still are on schedule to be completely withdrawn by the end of 2011, 64% of U.S. voters do not believe the war in Iraq is over.

 

The GOP has a 40% to 34% lead on the issue of immigration and is ahead 46% to 39% on abortion.

 

Republicans also edge out Democrats on government ethics and corruption for the second straight month, 34% to 33%. In June, the GOP held a six-point advantage on the issue.

 

Also for the first time in over two years, Republicans lead Democrats on the issue of Social Security 42% to 37%. Democrats held a six-point lead on the issue last month, and the parties were tied in April.

 

Democrats have also seen their leads shrink on two of the party’s strong points, health care and education. The party holds a four-point lead on health care, down from 18 points in May. The Democrats’ advantage on the issue is the smallest found in over two years.

 

Voters are evenly divided when it comes to the health care reform plans being promoted by the president and Democrats in Congress.

 

On education, Democrats lead Republicans 41% to 38%, also the smallest margin in over two years. Democrats held a 15-point lead in May on the issue.

 

Fifty-four percent (54%) of all voters say the average congressional Democrat is more liberal than they are, while 36% believe the average Republican congressman is more conservative in comparison to themselves. Just 44% say their own representative in Congress is about the same as them ideologically.

 

Republican candidates lead Democrats for the second straight week in the latest edition of the Generic Congressional Ballot. Support for the GOP remains unchanged this week - at its highest level over the past year, but support for Democrats dropped one point to tie its lowest level in the same time period
