Obama Sees Worst Poll Rating Drop in 50 Years

i still like obama. hes not nearly as much of an idiot as bush was.

Politicians couldn't care less about you.

Obama is not apoligizing for our existence, he's apoligizing for us being a d*ck. We claim to be the best and that's just flat out annoying to most people. Including Americans.

He has to first mend our reputation with the rest of the world, then fix the other things.

Come on guys, I'm probably the youngest one on I-A-B and some of you have the patience of a child.

He is very bad at public speaking, but that wouldn't matter so much here. More than it would in the past, but it would be overlooked if he was good at the job.

I trust Brown more than Blair. Or, rather, the Blairs - Cherie added herself. I wouldn't buy a used car from the Blairs, but I'd buy one from Brown. On the other hand, I think Brown is a less competent politician than Tony Blair, though more competent than Cherie Blair. She should have stuck with the law - she's very good at that.

There are alot more funnier and cleverer websites out there you know.

You are not cnn or fox news. Your a damn I am bored site.

I think this gives a good succinct indication of just how unpopular Brown and the entire current government is in the UK:

In June, there were elections to the European parliament - electing people to represent the UK in the EU. The UK is effectively a two-party state, like the USA. It's a little more spread out, but not much. If you imagine the parties as animals in terms of size, then Con and Lab are elephants, Lib Dem is an antelope and he rest are meerkats.

In those elections, Labour came third in the UK. In what is essentialy a two party state. That takes one hell of a degree of unpopularity. That was in June - it's *much* lower now that Brown is in charge.

To be fair to him, he was handed a crappy situation when he took office.

On the other hand, he was a bad Chancellor and he is a worse PM. It isn't just a bad situation to be in - he's not up to the job.

Example: the lowest ever price of gold on the open market is known as "the Brown bottom". This is because a few years ago, when he was Chancellor, Brown waited until the price of gold was at a record low and then announced he was selling half of the UK's gold reserves at auction. Of course, that pushed the price down even further, hence "the Brown bottom". That cost us some billions. This is the man who is supposedly rescuing our economy. He managed it badly during boom, so the current situation is much worse.

Surprise, surprise, things didn't immediately get wonderful as soon as he was sworn in. Disappointment all round. The change promised wasn't actually the type of change that everyone wanted, more disappointment.
