Let me think..... he very kindly has spent more taxpayers money in the first few months than any other President in history in a similar time period. He promised it would mean jobs to American workers but we seem to have imported far more workers from other countries than available jobs. That can't have anything to do with it. Oh, I know he's done a huge amount of travelling all over the place. Maybe that's why he hasn't done anything much? No, that can't be the answer. Oh, I know. He's a charismatic speaker. All talk and no action? No, that can't be right either. He won the Nobel Peace Prize even though he hasn't been in office a year yet, for well..... peace. Where was that? Those polls must be wrong because everyone knows he's accomplished so much already. Hmmm..... Hillary was definitely preferable. He promised so much but what has he done?

I once conducted a survey where 32% of people claimed they'd vote Tory, 34% Labour and 19% Libdem. That should've left 15% who hadn't decided, but in the event the figure was 28%. People will say almost anything to get rid of interviewers. That said, I always felt Obama was the black Blair - all rhetoric and no strategy. Me, I'd have preferred Hillary....because what the US needs in the White House right now is a caring bitch. And if you think these figures are bad, take a look at JFK's after the Bay of Pigs.
