Here is a breakdown of what might have been Barack Obama's worst week in the White House yet: Not knowing the facts and recklessly jumping into the Trayvon Martin case (directly opening a floodgate of full-blown racial tension, even making the ridiculous comment that he and Trayvon looked alike and could have been father and son), caught on a live mic assuring the president of one of our greatest rivals that he would have more flexibility (more ability to sell America out minus the threat of another election) once he was reelected, the Supreme Court made a complete mockery of his arguable crowning achievement (Obama's lawyers were stuttering "ums" and "ifs" all three days, even when given simple questions by justices Obama selected), and Barack Obama's greatest underachievement of the week was to finally unify every single Democrat and Republican in the House of Representatives by having his 2013 budget rejected by a vote of 414-0. Has that ever even happened before?
Here are some stats and polls from Rasmussen Reports:
- Barack Obama’s presidential index rating shows that 28% of American voters strongly approve of his performance while 41% strongly disapprove, giving Obama a presidential index rating of -13.
- Overall, 48% of voters at least somewhat approve of Obama’s performance while 52% at least somewhat disapprove.
- Obama 46%, Romney 45%
- Obama 47%, Santorum 42%
- 54% expect U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Health Care Law
- 58% oppose reducing size of U.S. nuclear arsenal
- 29% say U.S. heading in right direction
