Some stats and polls from Rasmussen Reports:

• Barack Obama’s presidential index rating shows that 23% of American voters strongly approve of his performance while 40% strongly disapprove, giving Obama a presidential index rating of –17.

• Overall, 46% of voters at least somewhat approve of Obama’s performance while 53% at least somewhat disapprove.

• Among American voters, 32% believe the president’s policies have helped the nation’s economy while 50% believe they have hurt.

• Only 17% believe the country is generally heading in the right direction.

• Among American voters, 59% believe the U.S. Government encourages illegal immigration.

“I’d like to work my way around Congress.”

“I wish I had a magic wand and could make this all happen on my own”

"We live in a democracy, and at the end of the day, I can't do this all by myself under our democratic system."

These are all quotes from Barack Obama yesterday at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 34th Annual Awards Gala at the Washington Convention Center. Does this guy realize he is in America? Was he not told the details surrounding what he signed up for?

Barack Obama is the president of the United States of America and he is expressing his desire to be a dictator, he is further proving how little consideration he has for the overwhelming number who oppose his ideas, and, finally, he is claiming that he is bitter about and frustrated with America’s democratic system. Again, does he know what country he is in and was he unaware of what political system he was getting himself into? I don’t know whose interests he represents in his motives but he sounds like a child wishing for magic wands and complaining about not getting his way. I would venture to say that this man is actually blaming America for being too American.

945.3 miles to go.

Here is what happened one year ago on Day17.
